SPA Workshop on policy process research
The Workshop on Policy Process Research (WOPPR) brings faculty and students together in studying the interactions between people and public policy. Among the questions we ask:
- How do people define issues as problems worthy of attention on government agendas?
- What is the role of science and technology in public policy?
- How can people make a difference in public policy?
- How can policies and processes be more effective in serving a democratic society?
- In what ways do formal and informal rules shape behavior?
- What are the sources of policy change?
In pursing these questions, the Workshop on Policy Process Research applies and strengthens various frameworks, theories, and models. The analytical and substantive purview of the Workshop on Policy Process Research is generic and flexible.
If you have questions about the Workshop on Policy Process Research, contact David Carter, Tanya Heikkila, or Chris Weible. To learn more about policy process research visit the “What is Policy Process Research?” page. |
