The preparation and writing of cases for teaching Public Administration and Public Policy began in 1992 together with the first edition of the UAB Master in Public Management. Our idea since then has been to facilitate interactive learning based on the discussion of real problems in the classroom. We now want to relaunch this initiative by bringing back some “classic” cases (which have worked very well in the classroom) and by publishing new cases both in the field of public management and the third sector and in the field of policy analysis.
Purpose
The purpose of the case is to show a typical situation that the student will encounter when working in the public sector or its environment. The case presents information on the background, the current situation of the problem, the main actors and possible policy alternatives at the time of writing the case. In the preparation of the cases, its writers try to present information which is as real as possible, based on the consultation of documentation and interviews. Some cases also have a “teaching note” explainig how to organize the case discussion with the students and showing how they usually answer the questions raised by the case.
