GOVT 83.27 Public Policy and Politics

This course explores political factors that influence the development of public policies as well as possible attitudinal and behavioral policy feedback effects on the population after their implementation. Public opinion will be central to the course with students encouraged to analyze survey data and polls. In most years, the class will have a topical issue focus (e.g., health care, climate change, retirement, immigration) depending upon world events and trends. Although the topical issue focus might vary each term, students may not repeat this course for credit.
