Lectures within the Second module of the 2014 Public Policy School were held on April 12th and 13th, at the premises of PR Center. The topic of this module, “Public Policy Analysis”, was presented by Snežana Đorđević, PhD, professor at the Faculty of Political Science of the University of Belgrade.
(Agenda – only in Montenegrin)
The lectures began by tackling concepts, meanings, standards, and usability of public policies, as well as tools for their analysis. During the discussion related to the public policy cycle, special attention was given to the procedures of citizen involvement in the decision-making processes.
On the second day participants had the opportunity to become familiarized with the most relevant quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection and analysis, as well as preparation of research, defining research questions and determining research design.
As the emphasis was put on the interactivity of lectures, four group exercises were designed during the two-day seminar, in order for students to be able to apply the concepts discussed during the lectures.
Public Policy School is the project supported by the Commission for the Allocation of Revenue from Games of Chance and implemented by Institute Alternative (IA) in collaboration with the Centre for Research and Monitoring (CeMI).
