University of Virginia offers free online course ‘Public Policy Challenges of the 21st Century’
UNIVERSITY of Virginia is now offering a free, online course, called “Public Policy Challenges of the 21st Century.”
The courst is to be given by Gerry Warburg, Professor of Public Policy and Assistant Dean for External Affairs at the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, University of Virginia.
The course will feature guest speakers who are influential politicians and lawmakers from Washington D.C.
This course introduces class participants to the political significance and societal consequences of challenges facing U.S. and international policymakers. It is designed to help participants develop skills to analyze policy proposals and advocate for their preferred options for issues on the public policy agenda ahead.
The course focuses on future policy challenges, while examining the broad historical context in which policies are adopted and implemented.
As the course evaluates how issues are advanced by private sector interests, non-governmental organizations, and government policymakers, it examines how groups become effective policy advocates.
Particular attention is paid to how winning coalitions are formed and how issue framing shapes the outcome of policy campaigns. The goal is neither to produce partisan talking points, nor to favor one governance philosophy over others. Rather it is to clarify the public policy challenges ahead and to enhance participants’ understanding of how policy options are adopted in the real world arena of contemporary politics.
