POL 402 - Analysis of Public Policy

Institution:

Wilmington University

Subject:

Political Science

Description:

This course combines theory and application. From a theory perspective, it evaluates the processes through which policy is created and the dynamics of power and access to the policy process. Measurements of policy success and ways to improve both policy quality and the efficiencies of its implementation are evaluated and explored. From an application perspective, each student selects a hypothetical new law that is of interest. Students conduct research, using primary as well as secondary sources, to justify and design their potential laws. They also analyze potential allies and foes, and develop strategies to get their issues on the "public agenda."
