Students will explore the public policy-making process with emphasis on how such policies are made at the state and local levels. The course also explores the implementation of sustainability policies at the state and local level by giving the student direct exposure to practitioners at these levels of government. The course will consist of two main components: (1) Lecture and Discussion of the assigned chapters in the text and (2) independent research conduct by the student on a particular sustainability policy at the state or local government level. The research will culminate in a research paper that will describe the policy, how it was implemented and problems/successes that have been derived from it. The course will also study and evaluate various conceptual models and practices in sustainability public policy formulation. This course requires a one week field experience in Illinois (either the week of May 19 or May 26), and students will be responsible for their own travel expenses.
