Studies of Public Policy Process and Implications for Research on Education Policy
Dr. Peter Tsan-yin Cheung
Abstract
This seminar introduces some of the major theoretical contributions in the study of public policy processes in the field of public administration and policy studies. Among the theories that will be discussed include bureaucratic politics, policy streams and other agenda setting models, and implementation studies. A brief survey of recent literature on public policy and governance in Hong Kong, especially arguments about policy coordination, legitimacy, and institutional compatibility, will also be made. This seminar aims to explore whether such research in public policy will have any useful implications for the conduct of research on education in general and education policy in particular.
