Policy Studies 205. 
Professor Michael Dukakis

Bureaucracy and Public Management Designed to mesh with "American Political Institutions and Processes" and "Political Economy of Policy Adoption and Implementation," this course examines the problems posed by behaviors within and by bureaucracies. It provides students with a set of conceptual tools for understanding the organizational environment in which policy analysts ply their profession and the role of a manager within such organizations. In both instances, it offers practical suggestions for the policy professional seeking to navigate large bureaucracies. Readings and class discussions integrate theoretical analyses of organizations with detailed case studies.
