国際公共政策実践研究（Writing public policy cases for SDGs）

The course aims to discuss the public policy-related challenges and opportunities to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this course, participants will be introduced to problem solving in public policy using teaching cases. The cases will cover topics relating to SDGs such as water, sanitation, transportation, spillover effect of infrastructure, fin-tech, micro-financing, philanthropy and others. During the course, participants will also learn to write a teaching case.
A teaching case is a narrative which provides information on a real-world situation where people, such as policy makers or business executives, are supposed to make a decision or solve a problem. Students are required to do analytical work in a small team with a given narrative by interpreting the relationships among incidents, identifying possible options, evaluating choices and their outcomes. Analytical work with a teaching case (often called “the case method”) also helps students understand the relevance and importance of abstract concepts and theory in practice.
