Policy Studies 10A: Introduction to Public Policy  
This course is designed to introduce students to themes, concepts and actual examples of policy analysis. As an introductory overview, it covers the principle topics of contemporary policy analysis, developing their applications with examples from the instructor's own research, from visitors, from small student projects, and even from field trips. The guiding idea of the course is to link the abstractions with applications, and to help students take these abstractions to easily identified real world examples.  

Policy Studies 10B: Applied Policy Analysis  
This course will present applications of public policy analysis to actual policy interventions and issues along various dimensions: local, national, international and historical. Examples include crime, congestions, transition of defense-related industries in the post-Cold War era, fiscal issues, immigration, international trade agreements, zoning, rent controls, education, and regulation or promotion of particular industries. Students will conduct research in selected areas of public policy.
