Public Policy Analysis and Design
At the end of the curricular unit students should be familiarized with the key concepts, models and tools for public policy analysis and also should be able to apply these methods and analysis techniques to concrete cases of public policy. It is intended that at the end of the semester students are able to apply at least the model of the steps in the analysis and design of public policies.
Program1 - Why study public policy?
2 - Theories of power and political process
3 - Concepts of Public Policy Analysis: actors, resources, rules and institutions.
4 - Analysis of the political process:
Types of policies and phases of the process;
Problems and scheduling;
Alternatives and interest groups;
Formulation design and instruments;
Decision and implementation;
communication;
Evaluation, impact and change.
5 - International influence: diffusion, conveyance and convergence in public policy.
6 - Policy research
7 - Public Policy in Portugal.
Written exercise (maximum 20 pages) with the analysis of a sectorial public policy (50%); Presentation and discussion of a public poster, synthesis analysis exercise of a public policy (40%); Active participation in class (10%). Active participation in class includes attending classes, but also the ability to ask questions, argue, defend points of view and participate in discussions on the topics under discussion.

European and International Public Policy
Students will learn to apply different theoretical perspectives - from neo-institutionalist theories to theories of policy analysis - to European policies. In addition, the European system and its interaction with other global actors (other international organisations) will be analysed. Another fundamental didactic objective is to encourage students to develop their own research question in the context of the topics of the course, reflecting on the mode of analysis to be adopted and developing an individual work programme. Finally, the aim is to train analysing skills, both oral, in the context of class presentations, and written.
Program1 Introduction: the study of European and international public policy
1.1 Policy-making in the European and global multi-level system
1.2 Theories of public policy
2. European public policies
2.1 The Europeanisation of public policies
2.2 New modes of policy-making: experimental governance in the EU
2.3 The European Union as an actor in international politics
3. International politics
3.1 The policy-making power of international organisations
3.2 Transnational actors in international politics
3.3 The international diffusion of public policies: a new form of global governance?
4. Conclusion: "Governance without government" or "governance with many governments"?
Assessment throughout the semester includes: 1) development of a research question and identification of a theoretical/analytical approach (30%) and a final individual written assignment (70%). The final written assignment can be a research paper (up to 7 pages) or a literature review on a specific issue in the field of European and international policy analysis (up to 7 pages).
Assessment by examination consists of an individual written final paper (7 pp).

During enrollment, students may consult the list of curricular units available as electives in the platform where they registered online.
(*)The schedules may be subject to changes
Objectives
To offer an advanced education in the domain of public policy that affords students:
a) A systematic understanding of the discipline of public policy, especially as regards the processes of internationalization and Europeanization;
b) Knowledge of the current analytical perspectives, concepts, theories and problems in the multidisciplinary study of public policy;
c) The ability to design and apply comparative models in this area;
d) The ability to produce significant research, abiding by the stringent parameters of academic quality and integrity;
e) The ability to communicate with the academic community and society in general about the area of public policy;
f) The capacity to make informed interventions in the analyses, design, management and evaluation of public policy in Portuguese, European and international organizations.
When students finish the course, it intended that they will be able to:
a) Identify and evaluate the principal models of analysis, conceptual frameworks and methodological strategies of the discipline of public policy;
b) Combine theoretical and methodological tools in conducting research of scientific significance and quality in public policy;
c) Apply and utilize acquired knowledge to design, analyze, manage and evaluate public policy on national, European and international levels;
d) Communicate and disseminate the results of their work in the academic community and general society.
In each curricular unit these objectives are put into practice, and their attainment is measured through specific tools. In the first year, doctoral candidates attend six compulsory seminars dedicated to the study of the theories and methodologies of public policy, as well as two elective units that may cover any of the following areas: social policy, defense and external relations, education, health, the environment, immigration, media, science and technology, energy and development (60 ECTS credits).
In addition, candidates will attend a research seminar, an international conference cycle and the Public Policy Forum. The completion and defense of the doctoral thesis requires the knowledge, skills and competencies gained in these courses, assessing the candidate’s completion of the degree in an integrated manner.
courses.thesis
In the final two years of the programme, doctoral candidates will prepare a thesis by conducting research in the Centre for Research and Studies of Sociology (CIES).
For the purposes of this task, candidates will also attend:
- An international conference cycle in Public Policy
- A doctoral research seminar in Public Policy
Notes:
1) To enroll in the thesis unit, candidates must present an approved research project and their registration.
2) Thesis preparation must include the completion of a research project in the Centre for Research and Studies of Sociology (CIES) or, with the authorization of the directors of the doctoral programme, in another research centre.
3) As an alternative of equivalent requirement to the thesis, doctoral candidates may opt to produce a coherent compilation of relevant research publications that fall under the framework of public policy. These papers must have already been published in scientific journals with internationally recognized selection committees.
4) Either the preparation of the thesis or the compilation of articles must be supervised by an advisor with a PhD named by the programme directors for this purpose.
