Typical subject areas covered include: Policy Making and Agenda Setting; Multilevel Governance; the Role of Institutions; Democracy and Civil Society; Social Structures and Integration; Sustainability and Ecological Modernisation; Science, Research, Technology and Society; Scenarios and Strategic Planning; Public Policy Analysis; and Research Methods.
