Professional focus:Public Ethics and Policies [30.0]

ethi2m  2016-2017  Louvain-la-Neuve


The "Public Ethics and Policies" focus is designed to train students to analyse the ethical stakes involved in the design and implementation of public policies. This analysis relates both to the formal conditions which should govern democratic procedures in political decision making and the principles of justice which dictate policy methods and outcomes in different areas of social life.
This analysis will require students to demonstrate
- knowledge of the concepts and methods from economic and social ethics as well as political philosophy,
- the ability to use these concepts and methods in a particular field relating to the implementation of public policies and
- the ability to understand empirical analyses of policies, their field of application and the ways in which they are designed and implemented.
