PUBLIC POLICY STUDIES 101 - Democracy and Public Policy

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

This course examines the American policy process by interrogating a number of domestic policy issues-affirmative action, poverty and welfare, HIV/AIDS, health care, labor/workplace, education, community development, and environmental concerns. Students examine all of these issues from various perspectives, including the modern conservative, modern liberal, and radical/democratic socialist, with particular attention to the role of the federal government in the policy process. Students have the opportunity to confront their own roles within the American policy process from a critical perspective. Students discuss, too, the role of the policy analyst in a democratic society and consider the interdisciplinary nature of public policy analysis. (Rimmerman, offered annually)
