MPA 6100G - Foundations of Public Affairs

Credits: 4
This course focuses on the role of public agencies in contemporary American politics. Over the course of the semester we will consider some general questions of how public agencies interact with their political environment and influence the policy making process. We will examine several specific public policy problems that have become contentious policy issues, such as affirmative action, immigration, internet regulation, and cyber-space security. Special attention will be given to various areas of government regulation and economic stabilization policy.
