This course examines the strengths and limitations of a comparative approach to the analysis of public policies. It evaluates different methodological approaches used in the comparison of policies between and within countries, and critically assesses the potential for policy transfer. Selected policy areas of current or ongoing concern in contemporary political systems are used to illustrate the types of lessons that can be drawn from comparison. The course equips students with the ability to critically evaluate comparative policy studies and to engage effectively in current debates over policy directions.
This course introduces students to 'comparative public policy' both as a field of study and as a method of policy analysis. The course combines academic theory with practical application and aims to develop (a) students’ ability to conduct effective and rigorous comparative public policy analyses, and (b) students' ability to communicate the findings of comparative analyses in a clear and succinct manner in a Policy Briefing Note. More specifically, the course seeks to equip students with methodological and conceptual tools to explain differences and commonalities in public polices across and within countries, and to assess the extent to which policy-makers can learn from policy experiences in other nations or jurisdictions.

Task description
10 marks are allocated for class attendance and participation (you may miss 2 seminars without penalty). To receive one mark, students should:
(a) Attend the seminar via Zoom.
(b) Read the articles listed for that week in preparation for the seminar
(c) Participate actively in group discussions about course topics and themes.
If you are not able to attend the seminars, external students may submit a short, reflective response (~300-400 words) to the seminar recording. You should discuss your understanding of the key themes and reflect on how these may help to reshape or further develop your understanding of public policy (whether in relation to your own professional experience, the political context you are familiar with or the policy areas you are personally interested in). Each response is worth one mark and is submitted via the blackboard.
A further 10 marks are allocated for students to lead a group discussion activity. Further information regarding this aspect will be provided via the course Blackboard page. However, in short, students will be required to:
(a) Prepare an activity for students on their table of roughly 10 minutes in duration, building on the course readings for the week. This should include either slides or a handout for students, to be submitted as part of the assessment.
(b) In the week following the activity, students will submit a 500-word reflection on what they learned from the activity and how they feel it could be improved for next time. These are due within one week of your activity.
If you are not able to attend the seminars, you are required to book a time to walk through your activity with the course co-ordinator via Zoom – this will form the basis for your 500 word reflective response.
Assessment tasks are intended to evaluate a student’s abilities, skills, and knowledge. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the assessment instructions, assessments are to be completed without the aid of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Translation (MT). Failure to comply with this direction may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.

Task description
Your task is to put yourself "in the shoes" of a (government) policy advisor. You have been asked to write a short briefing note that identifies lessons from a successful or failed policy for Australia, from another country. You are free to choose the country and the policy, but may want to consider a policy that has attracted scholarly and/or media attention.
Students will be provided with a specific guidance on the format and content via the subject Blackboard – a key aspect of the task will be precisely reproducing this format. However, in broad terms the memo will need to address the following elements:
- Background on the policy and its relevance to Australia
- An analysis of why the policy succeeded or failed
- The implications for your chosen policy area in Australia (e.g. is this a policy that should be adopted? Or in case of policy failure, do similar risks exist here?). These should be presented as specific recommendations.
- A discussion of potential barriers to implementing these recommendations (such as the views of stakeholders, or perhaps a need to significantly adapt the policy to Australian conditions).
Assessment tasks are intended to evaluate a student’s abilities, skills, and knowledge. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the assessment instructions, assessments are to be completed without the aid of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Translation (MT). Failure to comply with this direction may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct.

Task description
This assessment is a preparation exercise for the final case study assignment. However, it will also test the ability to provide helpful feedback to colleagues.
The task requires students to do two things in preparation for the class in Week 9.
(1) Prepare a detailed plan for the final assignment
(2) Prepare a short presentation (~5 minutes) based on this plan, to present a partner in class (you will be allocated a partner by your course coordinator). You should discuss your selection of cast studies, the main arguments of the paper and the evidence you have collected or plan to collect.
In class, when your partner is presenting, your role will be that of the friendly critic, aiming to ask questions and provide comments that will help to improve your partner's presentation. Following the class, you will be required to put together 400-500 words of written feedback and suggestions for your partner, based on your understanding of comparative public policy. You will send this to your partner and also submit it as an assessment to the Blackboard. This written feedback is the assessable component of the assessment.
If you are not able to make it to class, you will be paired with another student and (with the help of the course coordinator) will organise another time to meet over Zoom.
Assessment tasks are intended to evaluate a student’s abilities, skills, and knowledge. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the assessment instructions, assessments are to be completed without the aid of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Translation (MT).

Task description
Comparative Case Study
Your task in this case study is to compare and contrast different policy responses used by governments in two different jurisdictions to deal with the same policy challenge. The two cases may be from two different countries or from two different jurisdictions within the same country (e.g. states, regions, provinces, local government areas) and may cover a challenge in any specific policy area (e.g. health care, education, defence, urban planning, energy).
You should aim to choose two cases in which there is at least some difference in the approach, or in the outcomes of the approach – cases that are mostly very similar are unlikely to make for very interesting comparisons. At the same time, be wary of comparing "apples with oranges" – cases in which there is little basis to compare because they are so different. Don't worry if this is not yet clear, as we will talk much more about the basis for valid comparisons in the early weeks of the course!
Your comparative analysis should focus on two important aspects:
(1) Why did your two cases take the approach that they did? If each jurisdiction took a different approach, how can we explain this?
(2) What were the outcomes? And does one approach appear to have been more effective than the other? Why might this be the case?
Note also that ~300-500 words of your assignment should be dedicated to discussing how you integrated the feedback from the Peer Feedback exercise into your assignment. This should be included at the beginning of the assignment in a clearly labelled section.
Assessment tasks are intended to evaluate a student’s abilities, skills, and knowledge.

Additional assessment information
Word Length Penalty
Unless otherwise indicated, in the case of written submissions with a specified word count, you are given a +10% leeway on the upper word limit. If your written submission is over this leeway limit, it will attract a 10 percentage point penalty. For example, if your essay is 1,500 words, you may write up to 1,650 before attracting a word count penalty. If your essay exceeds the upper word limit, it will attract a 10% word count penalty. Therefore, if your essay is worth 40 marks, you will lose 4 marks from your allotted grade. Unless specified, penalties only apply to exceeding the word length, not for failure to write a sufficient amount.
Students should note:
• The Author-date in-text referencing system will count toward the word length;
• References in the Footnote referencing system will not count toward the word length. If you are using footnotes, any content included in footnotes beyond the specific text reference will count towards the word length.

Filter activity type by
Please select
| Learning period | Activity type | Topic |
|---|---|---|
Week 1 (22 Jul - 28 Jul) |
Seminar |
Course Introduction SEMINAR 1 introduces students to the course aims, intended learning outcomes, and course requirements. Once this is has been discussed, we will explore some philosophical questions that might arise in comparative public policy research (e.g. is reality knowable? How might comparisons help us understand the 'reality' of public policy?). Learning outcomes: L01, L02, L03, L04, L05, L06 |
Week 2 (29 Jul - 04 Aug) |
Seminar |
Faith in 'objective' comparative research SEMINAR 2 introduces students to the 1950s behavioural revolution in the social sciences, which increased faith among social science researchers in scientific methods and, in turn, in their ability to explain and resolve societal issues. We will also explore the strengths and weaknesses of the different kinds of comparative methods identified in the early comparative politics literature. Learning outcomes: L01, L02, L03, L04, L05, L06 |
Week 3 (05 Aug - 11 Aug) |
Seminar |
Competing policy frames and 'narratives' Learning outcomes: L01, L02, L03, L04, L05, L06 |
Week 4 (12 Aug - 18 Aug) |
Seminar |
Comparative Politics (CP) and Comparative Public Policy (CPP) SEMINAR 4 introduces students to the 'comparative politics' (CP) and 'comparative public policy' (CPP) literatures. We will discuss some of the key approaches and methods that aid us in comparing political and policy systems, as well as specific policies and policy outcomes. Whereas CP focuses on differences across countries, CPP focus on differences across policy sectors and across different levels of government. Learning outcomes: L01, L02, L03, L04, L05, L06 |
Week 5 (19 Aug - 25 Aug) |
Seminar |
Policy Learning and Policy Transfer SEMINAR 5 briefly recalls the key concepts used in CPP literature (e.g. 'policy diffusion', 'lesson-drawing', 'policy learning', 'policy-transfer', 'best practice') and considers, with help of case studies, how policy analysts use these concepts in their attempts to ascertain 'policy success' and 'policy failure'. Learning outcomes: L01, L02, L03, L04, L05, L06 |
Week 6 (26 Aug - 01 Sep) |
Seminar |
Transnational Networks & Policy Convergence SEMINAR 6 considers how informal (transnational) policy networking activity often contributes to policy convergence, with the same policy solutions being adopted and implemented in different countries. As we will see, convergence can lead to policy success, but also policy failure. Learning outcomes: L01, L02, L03, L04, L05, L06 |
Week 7 (02 Sep - 08 Sep) |
Seminar |
Policy making in multilevel governance settings In SEMINAR 7 we examine the increasingly complex, multi-layered policy 'landscape' which contemporary policy-makers have to navigate. As we will see, complex (national, regional or global) multi-governance systems can be a help or hindrance for those pursuing policy innovation. Learning outcomes: L01, L02, L03, L04, L05, L06 |
Week 8 (09 Sep - 15 Sep) |
Seminar |
Comparing European Integration & American Federalism In Seminar 8, we first consider how European Union (EU) membership has enabled EU member-states to coordinate policy, and to secure ambitious policy objectives. We will then compare EU policymaking to the United States, where federalism provokes competition and coordination challenges even within one nation. Learning outcomes: L01, L02, L03, L04, L05, L06 |
Week 9 (16 Sep - 22 Sep) |
Seminar |
a) Case studies in health policy and b) peer feedback exercise In SEMINAR 9, we will consolidate what we have learned so far by applying the different approaches to several case studies in health policy, including in relation to vaccination and universal health care. In the second half of the seminar, we will undertake our peer assessment exercise in preparation for the case study assessment. Learning outcomes: L01, L02, L03, L04, L05, L06 |
