The Danish Political Science Research School is happy to offer the following
three Ph.D.-courses:
The Critical Analysis of Political Discourse
======================
Dates: 2005/10/24 to 2005/10/26
Responsible: The Danish Political Science Research School, Norman Fairclough
and lektor Lilie Chouliaraki
This PhD course extends the critical discourse analysis tradition by
addressing two relatively neglected questions. How can critical discourse
analysis be applied by political scientists unfamiliar with linguistics? How
can the critical analysis of political discourse incorporate the study of
images (still and moving) and, more broadly, the study of new technologies of
communication? Thus, even though the course primarily addresses political
scientists, it is also highly relevant to a broad spectrum of research
students, including anthropologists, educationalists, sociologists,
psychologists and media and cultural studies students.
ECTS: 3

Citizenship: dimensions, problems, challenges
========================
Dates: 2005/10/04 to 2005/10/08
Responsible: Associate professor, Per H. Jensen.
Using T.H. Marshall as a point of departure, the aim of the PhD course is
theoretically and empirically to clarify the dimensions of the concept of
citizenship; to discuss the inherent problems of the concept; to discuss new
challenges to citizenship in the face of changing labour markets,
globalisation, the emergence of new gender roles etc; and to discuss the
effects of citizenship in terms of social integration and cohesion.

Advanced Theories of the Policy Process and Strategies for their Application
=========================================
Dates: 2005/09/21 to 2005/09/28
Responsible: Paul Sabatier, University of California, Davis, Morten Balle
Hansen, University of Southern Denmark and Søren Winter The Danish National
Institute of Social Research
The history of Policy Analysis; The current theory and practice of Policy
Analysis; The Need for Theory and Multiple Theories; Criteria for Comparing
and Evaluating Theories; Frameworks, Theories and Models; The Stages Approach
in Policy Analysis; Institutional theories and their application in the
analysis of the Policy Process; Top-down and Bottom-up Approaches to
Analyzing the Policy Process; The Advocacy Coalition Framework and its
Application in the Analysis of the Policy Process; Multiple Streams Theory;
Social Constructionist Theory; Cultural Theory; Innovation and Diffusion
Models in Policy Research; Theories of Implementation; Theories of
Evaluation.
We will examine the above topics in some depth and adapt the exact priority of
the topics to the Ph.D. students who participate in the seminar. Since Paul
Sabatier is one of the founding fathers of the Advocacy Coalition Framework
we will provide an in depth examination of this approach to Policy Analysis.
ECTS: 5
