Pathway 13: Politics, Public Policy & Governance

The Politics, Public Policy & Governance thematic pathway’s research training is focused on the acquisition of the knowledge, skills and techniques required for the study of the institutions and practices of government and politics, with a focus on the governance of the UK, Europe and international institutions, and on political, legal and social theory. Researchers in this area work on: the making and implementing of public policy; conceptual and normative questions in political, legal and social theory; political economy and international political economy; rights, constitutions, democracy and party politics; comparative politics; and public management. The training pathway draws on expertise from across the disciplines of politics, history, political economy, law, and business and management studies, and on input from professionals and practitioners. The Policy Institute at King’s, Queen Mary’s Mile End Institute (MEI) and the Centre for Government & Leadership (CGL) all institutionalise ongoing formal relationships with politicians and policy practitioners.

There are four training sub-pathways:

A. Political, Legal & Social Theory

Research in this sub-pathway encompasses the study of ideology, the history of political thought, normative and positive political theory, conceptual and theoretical understandings of, for example, rights, democracy, liberty, and political authority, and theoretical perspectives on the international political economy.
