At the heart of institutional and societal change are new policies that are adopted by governments and agencies. Policies are the principles and rules that guide decision making and lead to tangible outcomes. Social science researchers and students analyze, create and learn about the impact of policy change and generate research and new knowledge to improve overall societal outcomes.
