POLS 4758 - Race and Public Policy in Comparative Perspective
Seeks to conceptualize, explore and explain the complex relationships between race and the creation, implementation and evaluation of public policy. First half offers overview of some dominant theories of public policy, including rational actor models, institutionalism, policy framing and agenda-setting, causal stories, and policy networks. Second, applies these theories in order to complete a more in-depth examination of policy areas that have either implicitly or explicitly institutionalized racial difference and/or disadvantage. Focus will be comparative; though substantial examples drawn from the United States and the industrialized world, also draws insights from developing contexts as necessary.
