Regulation, compliance and fairness are vital components of any effective, equitable and accountable system of public policy. This is especially challenging in contemporary times. Governments are responding to complex social issues, such as climate change, digital transformation and geopolitics, while increasingly relying on markets and civil society organisations to develop and deliver public services.
The Master of Public Policy Specialisation in Contemporary Regulation introduces students to the theory and practice of regulation and governance, providing tools that can be used to understand governance problems and to develop adaptive and effective responses at a local, national and global level. The compulsory courses provide students with a solid foundation in the concepts, processes, institutions and practices of regulation and governance, while the elective courses allow them to apply those ideas to a range of domains, including disruptive technology, global business regulation, restorative justice, and climate and health policy.
