Description

This course has been designed to introduce students to the ethical, analytical, conceptual and political aspects of public poli-cy, the structure of policy design and the content and impact of major policies. Students will examine the major public poli-cy issues facing federal, state and local governments and will analyze the processes by which social policies are formed and implemented. Emphasis will be placed on contemporary social issues and client systems and the politicization of the human services. Theoretical perspectives and contemporary social policy research will be applied to the study of public policy to assist students in policy analysis, evaluation and advocacy efforts.
