Expanded Course Description
This course is an introduction to the related fields of planning, public policy, and the management of public and non-profit organizations. As an introduction, it aims to lay out the broad contours of these disciplines: the problems they address and the intellectual and methodological approaches to these problems. Another objective of this course is to convey the challenge and the excitement of professional work in these fields.

Professional work in planning, public policy and management requires that the practitioner be a savvy politician, a skilled analyst, an effective leader, and possess a deep knowledge of the substantive issue being addressed, whether it be terrorism and national security, child welfare policy, or wetlands management. Moreover, the effective practitioner operates with an ethical purpose, respecting the integrity of civic institutions and the ultimate sovereignty of citizens. This course will have failed if any of the intellectual, political, technical, social or ethical dimensions of effective performance are slighted. It is this peculiar stew that gives the field its challenge and excitement.

My intention is to combine a number of approaches: lectures, guest speakers, case reviews, student presentations, and as much class discussion as we can fruitfully accommodate.
