1 The Policymaking Process (CAS PO331) Boston University Spring 2014 Last revised: January 14, 2014 Professor: Katherine Krimmel Office location: 232 Bay State Road, PLS 210 Office hours: Thursdays, 11:30-1:30, and by appointment Teaching Fellow: Fatima Mustafa Class location: MET B02B Class time: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9:30-11:00 am Course Description This course will provide a broad overview of public policymaking in the United States. We will begin by discussing the need for public policy and theories of the process by which it develops. How and why does political change happen? What constrains change? Why do some issues make the agenda, while others don t? We will also discuss key players inside and outside government. What kinds of rules and norms govern their actions? What kinds of power can they use to influence policy? What are the limitations of their power? We will address these questions by reviewing classic works in public policy and American politics, and exploring data from Frank Baumgartner and Bryan Jones s Policy Agendas Project. We will spend the last few weeks analyzing specific policy areas. Who are the key players in these areas? How can we account for successes and failures? To what extent do we see theories of the policy process in action? To what extent do these cases expose the theories limitations? We will address these questions with reference to books and articles assigned in the last few weeks of class, and students will also analyze similar questions in their own research papers. Course Requirements While this is primarily a lecture- based class, it will also include discussions. Your contributions in class will account for 10% of your final grade. Since you cannot contribute if you are not present, frequent absence will affect your grade. Every student is required to write a 6-8 page paper (1 inch margins, 12 point font, double spaced) analyzing the trajectory of a particular policy or type of policy, due on the last day of class (May 1st). This assignment will account for 25% of your final grade. Students are encouraged, though not required, to take advantage of the 1
2 resources available through the Policy Agendas Project ( Late papers will receive a penalty of 5 points for every day they are late (including weekend days). Papers turned in more than one week past the deadline will not be accepted. Students will also be responsible for one 15- minute group presentation on a particular policy area, drawing on resources available through the Policy Agendas Project (in addition to others, as students see fit). Groups, topics, and dates will be set during the first two weeks of class. Presentations will account for 10% of your final grade. There will be two exams: a midterm on March 6th, which will account for 25% of your grade, and a final during the exam period, which will account for 30%. The grade breakdown is summarized below.
