Course Catalog Description:
Process of public policy analysis from problem structuring to communication of findings. Commonly used analytical methods. Alternative models of analytical problem resolution.
Class Description:
The goal of this course is to provide you with an introduction to policy analysis and a better understanding of where it fits within the policy process. Policy analysis provides advice to help citizens, policy-makers, and others solve problems, and it is as much a craft as a science. We will learn several specific policy analytic skills: developing a problem context, problem structuring, developing alternative policy options monitoring, evaluation, forecasting, policy simulation, and recommendation. In doing so, we will use different analytical tools, seek to understand the larger policy-context, and practice communicating policy advice.
