Organized in partnership with the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore, this International Executive School of Public Policy will took place from March 3 to 6, 2025, and focused on Advanced Policy Design: Insights from Europe and Singapore.
This course delved into the intricacies of policy design, focusing on the development of effective policies in the face of socio-economic and political challenges. Participants enhanced their theoretical understanding and practical skills for navigating the policy design process, particularly during crises. The curriculum addresses the political nature of policy problems, the essential capacities required for effective design, and the selection of appropriate policy instruments. Emphasis was placed on integrating evaluation throughout the policy process to ensure robustness and adaptability. Key themes included the political foundations of policy design, the necessity of robust solutions for collective issues, and the interplay between policy instruments and implementation. Through discussions and hands-on working groups, participants learned to approach policy design as both a conceptual framework and a practical methodology for achieving governance objectives.
