1 Gov 384M: AGENDA-SETTING (38935) Department of Government University of Texas SPRING 2012 BAT Instructor: Bryan Jones TUE 3:30 6:30 Office: BAT 3.154; Tel: Office Hours: T 1-3, W bdjones@u.austin.utexas.edu Course Overview The question of how an issue gets on the policymaking agenda that is, is considered seriously by policymakers seems simple, but the most obvious explanations are questionable. It is not easy to explain what, how, and when an issue will come to prominence in a political system. This seminar will explore the notion that individual choices, choices within political institutions and public policy outputs are interconnected, but that the connections are not simple. We will examine the processes of how people and policy-making institutions process information and make choices, and how those choices lead to change in public policy outputs. In doing so, we study how the adaptive but limited nature of the cognitive capacities of individuals and institutions lead to an evolutionary pattern of policy changes. In addition, we will explore the use of two powerful databases that can be used to study agenda-setting, The (US) Policy Agendas Project ( ), located in the Government Department at UT, and the Comparative Agendas Projects ( ), a network of country studies modeled on the US project. 1
2 Grades will be based on: Course Requirements 1) Research Paper. A research paper that is related to one of the theoretical perspectives on policy processes discussed in the course. I am flexible about what you address, but it is necessary to get prior approval from me for whatever you decide to study. A prospectus will be due at the middle of the semester. 50% 2) Class Participation. Each student will serve as a class organizer at least once during the term, with responsibility to provide the class an overview of issues and a discussion framework. Class organizers will make available to the class a short paper summarizing the up-coming discussion. 20% 3) Research Presentation. A brief formal presentation to the class on the research project. 10% 4) An examination covering the course material. 20% Course Materials (available at the Co-Op) Daniel Kahneman, Thinking Fast and Slow.
