Course Catalog Description:: Nature/effects of federal policy in the United States. How documents produced as policy are crafted/implemented. Policies relating to food/agriculture, forestry, wildlife, and transportation.
Class Description:: The class focuses on the way in which the United States government produces material culture ? goods, services, and the necessary artifacts supporting such production ? directly through its own agency and indirectly by influencing the behavior of other governments, corporations, and individuals, against a backdrop of the incessant and often acrimonious debate concerning the role and responsibility of the federal government. The course will pay particular attention to the way in which individuals in the legislative, administrative, and judicial branches of the government reach consensus and compromise about production and so create incentives and dis-incentives for certain types of behavior. Target audience, undergraduates in any major.
