Overview
About the course
Formulating policy issues in a way that is clear for different stakeholders and decision-makers is a critical element in policy analysis. Unfortunately, this step is often overlooked, as experts or policy-makers too easily assume that their problem definitions are a ‘given’ and are shared by all.
Policies will not be effective if they are not based on a good understanding of the actual problem that is to be addressed, taking into account different actors involved, the system they aim to influence and the factors that may support or hinder their implementation and the achievement of intended goals.
In this Water Policy Analysis - A Systems Approach course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) you will learn modern concepts of policy analysis and use hands-on methods to apply systems thinking to structure complex problems and develop effective designs for policy analysis. This will empower you to contribute to policies that consider society, economy and the environment which will support sustainable development.
