Description
Basic Sociology is assumed for this course. Understanding of historical, ideological, political and economic backgrounds to Australian social arrangements is assumed. Policy analysis frameworks are introduced along with perspectives from various policy theorists and analysts. These are applied in the detailed discussion and analyses of major policies in policy domains such as health, housing, urban and regional, finance, transport and criminal justice. Comparative policy studies are used in several of these critical analyses.
