/ Randomly
Course Description:
This course focuses on the skills, knowledge, tactics, and factors that will allow you to influence policy outcomes. Politics is about power and resolving the tensions and value conflict inherent in deciding who makes the rules, how rules are made and enforced, who gets what share of the "goods" and who bears the costs (i.e., the "bads"). Public policy debates, in the US or in the global arena, are not generally about facts, but rather they are ultimately political conflicts. Ultimately, becoming a successful policy entrepreneur means being able to do policy analysis.
