Prof. Immergut The Politics of Institutional Change: The New Party Politics and Policy Recalibration

Dates:
  • Tue 30 Oct 2018 14.00 - 16.00
  Add to Calendar 2018-10-30 14:00 2018-10-30 16:00 Europe/Paris Prof. Immergut The Politics of Institutional Change: The New Party Politics and Policy Recalibration

This seminar addresses the political, behavioral, and institutional drivers of policy change, with a particular focus on examining the relationships amongst public preferences, electoral and party competition, institutions and policy outcomes. As the course will demonstrate, scholars have focused thus far on explaining barriers to policy change more than they have addressed the sources of change. The course proposes this stems from bifurcation of institutional and behavioral approaches to policy change and that current cutting-edge work aims precisely to reunite these approaches. The aims of this seminar are two-fold: first, to provide doctoral researchers with an arsenal of theoretical hypotheses that can be deployed in a range of projects; and second, to further develop analytic and conceptual skills by summarizing and debating key readings in the field of policy responsiveness. The course draws both on qualitative and quantitative analyses.
