Social Policy Analysis for/in Practice – Case Study From Serbia

Natalija Perišić

Abstract


(Re)newed emphasis on policy analysis worldwide has had its implications in Serbia, especially potentiated by unfinished transition of its social policy. Theoretical perspectives on policy analysis and their adaptations differ among the countries, however, certain common elements of the policy analysis logic can be found. Also, a description of the activities of a policy analyst can be agreed upon, to serve as guidance, for the purpose of its comparing with the actual social policy analysis practice. The experience in social policy analysis in Serbia is presented within the historical context.
