There is no such thing as a fixed policy, because policy like all organic entities is always in the making. --Richard Cecil There is an eternal dispute between those who imagine the world to suit their policy, and those who correct their policy to suit the realities of the world. --Albert Sorel |

Course Description This course provides an introduction to the process of public policy making in the United States and to the substance of policy in selected areas. Its goals are to enable students to analyze the policy making process and to begin understand the substance of policy in issue areas of concern to them. The approach will be highly active and interactive as we develop theories and apply them: we will discuss, search, read and write. Several small tests and interim assignments will be used to build toward a final product – a research paper in which students demonstrate an understanding of the policy process by writing about process and substance in an issue area of their choice. Before studying the policy process, students should have completed a college-level introductory course in U.S. national government, WMU’s PSCI 2000 or equivalent. Important Links for Class
