The course proceeds in two parts. First, students explore foundational theories of policy making that seek to capture the role of organized interests, the importance of political institutions, and the influence of ideas and ideology. Part two builds on this theoretical foundation by focusing on each specific “stage” of the policy process, investigating how policy issues emerge, agendas are set, programs designed and implemented, and outcomes evaluated. Particular attention is paid to how well theories of human motivation and rational decision making apply to real-world experiences in public policy.Estimated course enrolment: 95 studentsHours of Work: 90 hoursClass schedule: Tuesdays and Wednesdays 10am-1pm*The delivery method for this course is expected to be in-person.
