Offizielle Kursbeschreibung:
This course, taught in English and German, examines the basic political dynamics of the public policymaking process with a special focus on the role of expertise. In comparative perspective, it seeks to examine the special place of knowledge and policy expertise in the policy process. This goal is to both understand the policy-analytical process generally, the role of technical information in the decision-making processes more specifically, and at the same time, the nature of technocratic power and politics of expertise. The course approaches this task by examining expertise in each phase of the policy-making process, from the politics of agenda setting (in particular how issues are identified and defined), policy formulation (including epistemic policy communities), policy decision-making and adoption (pluralist versus elitist and technocratic models), implementation (managerial expertise and bureaucratic politics), and policy evaluation (expert versus political opinion). In the process, the course also pays special attention to the kinds of knowledge and inquiry, both qualitative and quantitative, appropriate to each phase of the policy process. The contemporary debates between quantitative neo-positivist and qualitative postpositivist/postempiricist approaches to policy inquiry are also explored. In the context of the postpositivist orientation, particular emphasis will be given to discourse, interpretive analysis and the “argumentative turn” in policy analysis.
