Deze specialisatie richt zich zowel op het beleidsproces als op de inhoud van publiek beleid. Een focus op het beleidsproces neemt zowel private als publieke belangen in ogenschouw in beleidsontwikkeling van de overheid. Twee van de belangrijkste manieren om dergelijke belangen te verdedigen zijn via het direct proberen te beïnvloeden van gekozen bestuurders (lobbyen) en door de communicatie van ideeën en voorstellen in diverse media.
