This course focuses on the policies of major institutions in society and the processes by which those policies are made, implemented, and enforced. The course enhances participants’ skills for influencing those processes and thus affecting policy outcomes, with special attention to working in civil society organizations, networks, and coalitions. Different sections of the course may have a particular emphasis on specific target institutions and contexts: public policy of governments, corporate policy of businesses, and development policy of international institutions such as the UN and World Bank.
