| Course contents : | The course in Sociology of Public Action aims to train students in the main sociological tools (theoretical and methodological), intended for the analysis and the practice of public policies. |
 |
| Organization : | This course, designed in the form of a seminar, is divided into two parts: 1) the determining factors of public action; 2) the public players.
The first part consists of an interactive presentation and discussion, based on articles, on the "new" theories of public action, in particular the input of neoinstitutionalism and the cognitive approach to public policies. Four general issues structure this study of the determining factors of public action: representations (ideas), change (institutions), rationality (interests), implementation (translation).
The second part is devoted to public players, and more particularly to professional groups responsible for implementing policies in the different fields of public intervention: employment, adult education, teaching, health, the law, etc. Arrangements have been made for external participants (researchers and professionals) to come and expound on empirical "cases" (monographs, assessments, experiences in the field). |

| Written notes : | In terms of didactic support, students will mainly base their work on a set of texts compiled during classes. |
