1 Political Science 219: Introduction to Public Policy Mondays and Wednesdays, 2:30 to 3:45 p.m., Van Hise 104 Dave Weimer Professor of Political Science and Public Affairs Office Hours: Mondays/Wednesdays, 10 am to 11:30 am, 201 Observatory Hill Office Building Mondays, 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm, 215 North Hall Teaching Assistant: Simon Haeder Department of Political Science Office Hours: Thursdays, 1 pm to 3pm, 121 North Hall Introduction Public policies shape economic, social, and political choices by allowing, requiring, prohibiting, encouraging, or discouraging various behaviors. The authoritative decisions of governments create public policies, but their implementation in the context of administrative resources, economic conditions, and social norms largely determines their effects. In order to understand the content of public policy, one must consider how it is created and implemented as well as how it affects people. This course seeks to provide the conceptual foundations necessary for understanding American public policy. The subject matter of the course covers both policy processes and policy analysis. Policy process theories and frameworks help us understand the ways political institutions create public policy. Policy analysis introduces the skills useful in designing and assessing alternative public policies for dealing with perceived economic, social, or political problems. The first half of the course sets out conceptual foundations for understanding policy processes and doing policy analysis. The second half of the course applies the conceptual foundations to policy issues drawn primarily from the areas of criminal justice and health policy. The course will include both traditional lectures and class discussion. Monday classes and the first part of Wednesday classes will be lectures with questions encouraged. The remainder of Wednesday classes will be set aside for discussion of particular issues. An important component of the course is participation in the discussion of issues. Please do not take this course if you are unwilling to engage in the class discussions. Effective engagement will sometimes involve reviewing materials posted in advance on learn@uw. It will always involve being ready to contribute ideas, information, and informed opinions to the discussion. Absent volunteers, participants will be recruited through random selection! Introduction to Public Policy, Fall 2010, page 1
2 Basis for Assessment Your grade in the course will be based on your performance in the following areas: Policy memoranda (20 percent) leaning how to convey analysis concisely is an essential skill for policy analysts and a valuable one in most other professions. You will write two policy memoranda. Each will have a strict page limit (three double-spaced pages exclusive of references) and strictly follow a prescribed format. Midterm examination (35 percent) covers first half of course (October 27). Final examination (45 percent) covers entire course (December 20, 12:25 p.m.) Please do not take this course if you cannot be in Madison to take the final. Books for Purchase The course will make substantial use of four books. Very highly recommended for individual purchase: Eugene Bardach, A Practical Guide for Policy Analysis: The Eightfold Path to More nd Effective Problem Solving 3 Ed. (Washington, DC: CQ Press, 2009). Recommended for individual purchase: Thomas A. Birkland, An Introduction to the Policy Process: Theories, Concepts, and nd Models of Public Policy Making 2 Ed. (Armonk, NY: M. E. Sharp, 2005).
