This course is designed to review relevant theoretical materials in the policy sciences
and test key hypotheses in the policy sciences through empirical examinations of Canadian
cases in public policy-making. Policy theory related to the policy cycle, policy ideas,
policy styles, and policy regimes will be reviewed and tested against examples of Canadian
policy making behaviour. Throughout the course an emphasis will be placed on methodological
aspects of operationalizing key concepts in the field.
