THE challenges and opportunities for developing more effective public policies provide the basis for the next public talk to be presented by the College of Public Policy (CPP) at Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU).
Taking place on November 25, the talk on ‘The Past, Present and Future of Policy Design’ will discuss conceptualizations and evolution of policy design processes. From there, consideration will be given to the present state of design thinking, as well as future prospects for more effective and humane public policies.
In doing so, the talk will demonstrate that all public policies are either consciously or unconsciously a product of design. Proceedings will be rounded off with a question and answer session.
The Past, Present and Future of Policy Design will be delivered by Professor B Guy Peters, Maurice Falk Professor of Government at the University of Pittsburgh and founding President of the International Public Policy Association. Professor Peters is also editor of the International Review of Public Policy and associate editor of the Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis.
His most recent publications include Policy Problems and Policy Design and an updated version of The Politics of Bureaucracy. He is one of the most widely cited policy scholars in the world and the author or editor of over 60 books on public policy, public administration and comparative politics.
Speaking ahead of the talk, Dr Leslie Pal, dean of CPP, said: “There is no one better qualified to speak about policy design than B. Guy Peters. His publications, prizes and honours speak for themselves. His lecture will provide fresh and challenging ideas for practitioners and students of public policy, particularly when it comes to more advanced approaches to policy design. Dr Peters’ talk is the launch of the college’s Distinguished Policy Scholars Lecture Series, and we look forward to bringing leading international researchers in the field to the university each year.”
