Department of Public Administration

Jahangirnagar University Savar, Dhaka Syllabus for Bachelor of Social Science

Context Public administration came out as a separate discipline in the late 19 th century to objectively study the implementation of public policies. Therefore, organization and management theories along with courses in political science and sociology were the main focus of teaching. With the behavioral revolution in conomics and !anagement in the mid"#$th century, public administration ac%nowledged the importance of individual and group behavior in policy implementation, and therefore put emphasis in studying organizational and administrative behavior. Tremendous fiscal stress on governments around the world in the late #$th century influenced public administration to focus on the %nowledge of economics for efficient policy implementation as well as help policy ma%ers formulate better policies. &eeping this in mind, we redesigned this syllabus in a way so that our students have ade'uate e(posure in the study of organizational and management theories, organizational and administrative behavior, economics and econometrics, political science, sociology and law. We hope that this blend of %nowledge will ma%e our students better decision ma%ers and effective managers, especially in the public sector.

Thus, the primary course objective is to provide students with the tools, and the s%ills to use these tools, to understand the underlying concepts and practical trade"offs entailed in public finance policy alternatives.
