Course Regulatory Impact & Organisational Response

Overview

The course builds on the life cycle of government policy and regulation and considers perspectives both at macro and at micro level. Based on the main building blocks – regulation, supervision & enforcement, and operation and evaluation of policy and legislation – you get to understand the dynamics related to developing, implementing, enforcing and evaluating policies and regulation and gain the skills to also effectively translate this to the internal practices in the organisation.
