The State is a central actor that influences a society’s socioeconomic trajectory, determines the conformity of local laws with international and regional treaties, and the deepening of peace and stability. One of the main reasons behind the State's failure to acheive peace, stability and prosperity in the Arab region are the shorcomings of public policy, particularly since policymaking itself was seldom treated as an academic discipline across the region. This course will therefore seek to initiate graduate students to the philosophy and practice of public policymaking, thereby highlighting the structural and managerial particularities of the Arab State before delving into policy planning and design, policy execution and implementation, as well as policy analysis. By the end of the course, students are expected to tap into the potential of evidence-based public policymaking for the achievement of human rights and socioeconomic development, all while remaining attuned to the structural, political, and socioeconomic particularities of a fragile and conflict-ridden region.
