    Book Chapter

    The chapter examines the development and current state of academic public policy programmes in the Czech Republic and the role of policy analysis instruction in them. The chapter is based mostly upon an analysis of the publicly available list of study programmes accredited by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport, an internet search, e-mail correspondence with public policy and policy analysis instructors, syllabus analyses as well as a quantitative analysis of masters theses in the three main public policy programmes. After a brief introduction to the Czech higher education system, an overview of study programmes / fields in public policy and related fields is provided. Then the content of policy analysis courses is described. The orientation of the three main public policy programmes is analysed using unique data on masters theses. The chapter concludes with some preliminary findings regarding public policy / policy analysis instruction in the Czech Republic.
