International Economic Policy Analysis for Africa and developing countries.pptxGeorgeKabongah2
This course provides the theoretical, historical, institutional and technical background for effective advocacy of international economic policy.
The focus is on the political economy of international trade, foreign direct investment, exchange rates, portfolio capital flows and the balance of payments, industrial policy and international labor migration.
It is not a course on economics and students are not expected to have any background in the study of economics though some economic concepts will be employed and discussed.
The Community Tool Box has been working with its Iranian partners who are providing training on policy matters for NGO leaders and advocates based in Iran with the goal of strengthening their skills in policy making and capacity building. As a trainer I prepared and delivered a 60 minute on-line (GoToWebinar) audio lecture on strategic planning for policy development or policy change. The Power Point lecture was translated into Farsi and will be broadcast to the Iranian audience at a later date.

Section 5.1 What Is Policy Formulation? CHAPTER 5
Federal public policies do not just appear; they have to be created or designed and then adopted by an authoritative decision-making body. If policies are to solve per-ceived problems or emerging issues, then analysis of the most appropriate action
to address the problem must take place. As Chapter 1 discussed, policy makers can then
choose which type of policy to formulate and adopt. The choice of policy type will also
include decisions about who will benefit and who will bear the burden of the policy, based
on how groups are socially constructed. In essence, this amounts to which target popula-
tion will be affected by the policy. Groups that society perceives negatively will either be
ignored or negatively affected by the policy. Analysis involves policy makers’ choosing
among alternative courses of action. Inherent in this process is the fact that policy makers
must deal with the question of policy design—selecting the correct set of instruments that
can actually be adopted and best match the problem. Simply, for successful policy formu-
lation, a policy must be politically adoptable. Ideally, the best policy formulation solves
the identified problem. In actuality, policy formulation is a political exercise in which the
best policy is often sacrificed in favor of an adoptable policy. In sum, the policy must be
acceptable to those who adopt policy as well as to target populations. Just as a football
team needs support to help it play well, policy formulation is influenced heavily by policy
makers’ need to win support for their proposed policy from policy actors within the for-
mal institutions of government and society as a whole.
Once policy alternatives are designed, however, some kind of governmental decision must
be made regarding the direction and type of governmental action that will follow. This
seemingly simple act of making the decision to adopt a proposed course of policy action
represents a defining moment in the policy process. Only by adopting policies can a pro-
posed course of action garner legitimacy within the political and public arena. In sum, the
policy adoption stage represents the critical stage in which policy makers politically explore
alternatives in the law-making arenas, conduct debate and negotiate within the legislative
bodies, and take official actions to promote specific legislative positions over others.

It has been observed that most policies and plans are inefficient in learning from past experiences.
As a result they often devise ambitious targets which ultimately fall short of their desired outcomes
POLICY MAKING PROCESS
Policy
• a statement of intent for achieving an objective.
• Deliberate statement aimed at achieving specific objective
• policies are formulated by the Government in order to provide
a guideline in attaining certain objectives for the benefit of the
people.
• Importance and objective of any policy
• to solve existing challenges/problems in any society
• used as a tool to safeguard and ensure better services to
members of the society.
• Reasons for formulating a Policy
• Reforms (socio-economic, technological advancements, etc)
within and outside the country.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. Outline of the Lecture
• Purpose of the Colloquium
• Understanding Politics and Public Policy Relation
• Public Policy and Policy Process
• Understanding the Policy Ecosystem in Bangladesh
• What to do with Research in Public Policy Process
• How to identify a research issue?
• Important areas of research in public policy in Bangladesh
3. Definition of Policy Analysis
• # Walter Williams ( 1971 )
• “ a means of synthesizing information including research results to
produce a format for policy decisions ( the laying out of alternative choices
) and of determining future needs for policy-relevant information “
• # Jacob B. Ukeles ( 1977 )
• “ the systematic investigation of alternative policy options and the
assembly and integration of the evidence for and against each option. It
involves a problem-solving approach , the collection and interpretation of
information , and some attempt to predict the consequences of alternative
courses of action”
4. Type of Policy Analysis
• Anticipatory / Ex-ante/ Pre-hoc/ Prospective Analysis
• Policy analysis that focuses upon the possible outcomes of proposed
policies and prior to the implementation of policies. This analysis can
be conducted to anticipate the results of alternative policies in order
to choose among them or to describe the consequences of a policy.
• 1.1 Predictive analysis: refers to the projection of future states
resulting from adopting particular alternatives
• 1.2 Prescriptive analysis: refers to analysis which recommends
actions because they will bring about a particular result.
5. Type of Policy Analysis
• Descriptive / Ex-post / Post-hoc / Retrospective Analysis
• Policy analysis that refers to either the historical analysis of
past policies or the evaluation of a new policy as it is implemented.
• 2.1 Retrospective analysis: referring to the description and
interpretation of past policies (What happened ?)
• 2.2 Evaluative analysis: referring to program evaluation
(Where the purposes of the policy met ?)
6. Policy, Project and Program
• A public policy is generally characterized as a combination of
decision, commitments and actions directed towards achieving a
particular outcome or result which is deemed in the public interest.
• Public policy distinguished from public programs and projects
• A public program is a set of concrete actions and implementation
steps directed towards attainment of a public policy
• A project is typically a single segment or operating activity within a
program
7. • Policy Cycle approach views govt. as a process rather than a collection of
venerable institutions.
• Policy Cycle is a series of interlocking steps, a dialogue between
procedures and substance, between public debate and private analysis.
• A policy cycle approach can help public servants develop a policy and
guide it through the institutions of government.
Policy Cycle: An approach
10. Policy Cycle: An approach
• It disaggregates complex phenomenon into manageable steps.
• A policy cycle is normative, suggesting a particular sequence
• A policy cycle starts with a problem, seeks evidence, tests proposals
and puts recommendations before Cabinet. Its outcomes are subject
to evaluation and the cycle begins again.
11. Agenda Setting
• Agenda Setting—Establishing a list or a program of
problems or issues to be considered and acted on by
interest groups and government.
• It depends on both the saliency and the valence of the
issue.
12. Agenda Setting
• Salience: describes the quality of an issue, specifically, the notoriety
or the prominence given to an issue.
• Valence: The attraction or aversion that an individual feels toward a
specific object or event. The capacity of something to unify, instigate
a reaction, or interact with something else.
• “Problem Definition”: How a problem is defined makes all the
difference in the attention in will receive, or how it will be addressed.
13. Agenda Setting
• Kingdon’s“Agenda-Setting Model”
• Problem Stream: Problem Definition
• Policy Stream: The technical Plausibility of potential solutions to a
problem.
• Political Stream: The mood of the body politic, public opinion, and
various expediential factors that determine the salience and valence of an
issue or problem
14. Policy Formulation
• Policy Formulation:
• From passage of general laws by the legislature, to the formulating
of a specific public policy.
• Policy Formulation is a highly political process in which a number of
actors—from interest groups, to legislators, to the bureaucracy—
seek to affect legislation favorable to their specific interest.
15. Decision Making
• After policy formulation is completed (or fades from view)-
• The issue network dissolves and the participants move on to other
salient issues.
• Again, forming a new issue network with other actors impacted by a
particular issue or problem.
•
16. Policy Implementation
• “A series of governmental decisions that attempt to turn already
determined mandates into reality”
• Political Accountability:
• Institutional checks and balances in the administrative system, with
ultimate accountability held by the legislature—which creates laws and
enabling legislation.
• The legislature exercises its authority over the administrative apparatus
through legislative oversight.
• Courts play a similar role in determining the legality or constitutionality
of a policy or program.
• Administrators are accountable for:
17. Evaluation and Termination
• Policy Evaluation
• Policy evaluation occurs after a policy has been implemented
• It involves the analysis of policy outputs and determining their outcomes
• Needed to modify existing policies—policies rarely stay in the form in which
they were initially implemented (“tweaking” policy is the next stage)
• It is concerned with the consequences public policy—did the policy do what it
was supposed to do?
• Policy Change or Termination
• Involves making adjustments to policies to improve their effectiveness.
• Policy change can involve on of two processes:
• 1. Linear Change—Replacing one policy with another
• 2. Modification—Amending a policies to fit contingencies
18. Policy Cycle – in Bangladesh
• Cabinet a small body of senior ministers responsible for directing the policy-
administration of the state. As per clause 4(ii) of the rules of business 1996, no
important policy decision shall be taken except with the approval of the
cabinet.
• Ministry is a self-contained administrative unit responsible for the conduct of
business of the government in a distinct and specified sphere.
• The major responsibility of the ministry as per clause 4(ix) of the Rules of
Business is limited to: (a) policy-making; (b) planning; (c) evaluation and
execution of plans; (d) initiation of legislative measures; (e) assisting the
minister in discharging his responsibilities to the Sangsad; (f) personnel
management at the top level; and (g) such other matters as may be determined
by the prime minister from time to time.
19. Policy Cycle – in Bangladesh
• Clause 13(4) of the Rules of Business clearly sets out that the
Finance Ministry should be consulted in matters of
• (a) preparation of export and import policy
• (b) negotiation of trade and barter agreement
• (c) determination of tariff policy
• (d) determination of pricing policy
• (e) determination of investment policy
• (f) determination of labor policy
20. • Similarly the consultation with the Ministry of Law, Justice and
Parliamentary Affairs is obligatory in matters of (a) all proposals for
legislation, (b) all legal questions arising out of any case, (c) preparation of
any contracts, international agreements, international conventions and
modifying international law, (d) the interpretation of any law, and (e) before
authorizing or the issue of a rule, regulation or bye law.
Policy Cycle – in Bangladesh
21. Policy Cycle – in Bangladesh
• Secretaries' Committees
• In addition to the cabinet committees, there are also two standing
committees, namely the Secretaries' Committee and the Secretaries'
Committee on Administrative Improvement
• National Economic Council
• The highest authority to approve major economic policies and development
strategies, and in that capacity it formulates the national policy
• Planning Commission
• The central planning body of the country. It is a body of professionals and
sector specialists engaged in the formulation of macro as well as micro-
economic plans
22. Policy Cycle – in Bangladesh
• Parliamentary Committees Article 76 of the Constitution provides for the
constitution of a number of standing committees composed of the
members of Jatiya Sangsad, for example, the Public Accounts Committee
• Foreign Donors The providers of foreign aid play a significant role both
in development and formulation of plans/projects and management
thereof in Bangladesh. There are two types of donors, bilateral donors
and multi-lateral donors
23. Limitation – Policy Cycle
• The stages model suffers from descriptive inaccuracy-empirical reality does
not fit with the classification of the policy process.
• Implementation, for example, affects agenda-setting; or a policy will be
reformulated while some field agencies try to enforce ambiguous programs;
or policy termination has to be implemented.
• In terms of its conceptual value, the policy cycle lacks defining elements of a
theoretical framework. the stages model does not offer causal explanations
for the transition between different stages.
• The policy cycle is based on an implicit top-down perspective
• The cycle framework leads toward an oversimplified and unrealistic world-
view.
