ARC 5340 INSD WSH: POLICYMAK GROUND UP
This course will supplement your internship by introducing you on a broader scale to the dynamic, complex and raucous American policymaking process. This course will be conducted largely as a seminar, which will require significant student participation. Much of the course will consist of discussion with representatives from a wide variety of federal agencies as well as representatives of organizations whose work is closely tied to that of government. We will examine a sampling of the extensive literature on federal government dynamics, but our primary focus will be understanding government through face to face interaction with individuals from the major institution, both governmental and private, that participate in the runruly process of federal governance.
