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.
