Governance & Public Policies
 

Anyone taking Governance & Public Policies ?
which books u plan to use ?

I considered the subject but would probably go for its tested variant, Public Administration, not least because the 'right' preparation material for Public Administration is much easily available and better defined.

Any thoughts?

I agree with you that material of PA will be easily available but it is a very risky subject.

Risky? Is there a problem with the scoring trend?

Which of these two subjects, that is, public ad or Governance & Public Policies should one opt for in combination with political science??? I think the latter has a lot in common with pol.sci. Suggest please keeping in view the subj. material of these. Regards

There would be some overlapping in the syllabi of [B]Governance & Public Policy[/B] and [B]Political Science[/B]:

e.g. 'II. Governance Theories; VIII. Multi-level Governance in Pakistan; IX. Federalism etc. will have similar subject content as Political Science.

Similarly, 2 Topics within Public Administration may overlap with Political Science, i.e. IX.Organization of Provincial and Local Government; X. Governance and Administrative Reforms.

I think if the consideration is 'overlapping', Governance would be a better choice.

I have a masters degree in G & PP and all the course contents are available on internet. you can easily find them on google.

kindly suggest some good books which should cover and focus the topics listed in the fpsc syllabus

We can't rely merely on web material.

Please suggest some good books. "Some" means 2-3 books which are enough for preparation.
