5. Course Objectives:
Policy analysis requires several distinct sets of skills: an understanding of the policy context, an appreciation for the concerns of diverse stakeholders, technical knowledge of analytical tools, and the ability to develop and communicate practical advice. This course examines the foundations of public policy analysis, introduces students to key concepts, and provides project-based opportunities to practice skills. The class is structured around Bardach and Patashnik’s “eightfold path”, which lays out a series ofeight steps, beginning with Define the Problem, that one should follow when analyzing a policy problem. Along the way, they present concepts, research and cases to illustrate their ideas. As we apply the Eightfold Path to several different policy issues this semester, we will read additional articles to deepen our understanding of the concepts in the book, and provide alternative frameworks and resources.
