Politics of Policymaking: Global Perspec
Open to First-Year MPA Only.
Policymaking—the process by which political actors make decisions on a range of policy issues—is strongly influenced by context. This course creates a better understanding of how policymaking in developing and developed countries is shaped by specific forms of government, state institutions, actor constellations, political competition, and the way policy processes are informed by data and lived experiences.
The first part of the course introduces students to different political systems, actors, and approaches to understanding politics. This will enable students to analyze the contexts, determinants, and outcomes of political processes. The analytical foundations include approaches of mainstream and intersectional policy analysis, varieties of democracy and autocracy and the role of external donors, such as donors and international organizations. The second part of the course focuses on concrete ways to make, negotiate, and influence policies. This includes discussions on a toolbox for policymaking, evidence-based and participatory policymaking, social movements, policy innovation, and advocacy.
In addition to providing participants with the conceptual foundations of politics and policymaking, the course teaches students a set of policy tools that students can apply throughout their careers in government, think tanks, international organizations, civil society, and the private sector. A centerpiece of these skills is policy memo writing, in which students will learn to conduct concise, evidence-based policy analysis that diagnoses a policy problem, evaluates potential solutions, and conducts analysis of the relevant political institutions and actors. Other policy tools include the use and design of indicators, polls, public participation plans, and stakeholder mappings.
Besides the material covered in the lectures, students will also attend a weekly recitation section. Recitation sections will help students develop the skills necessary for policy analysis, or involve the discussion of case studies to explore key concepts related to the lecture.
By the end of the course, students will have a better understanding of how public policy is made and implemented in a range of countries, enhanced skills, and tools to design policies and be able to actively participate in policymaking processes in a variety of roles.

THEORY & METHOD-STUDY OF RELIG
“Theories and Methods” courses in any field are commonly unwieldy beasts. They cannot but be a compromise-formation between contemporary questions and texts, ideas, and definitions (alongside a whole lot of problems) that we have inherited as “canonical” in a field. In the best case, such a course is a passageway into deeper engagement with a field, its histories, its complexities, and its possibilities from which we might wrest and build viable futures. Disciplinary fields are structures where power and knowledge are produced and reproduced. The study of religion is no exception. The questions of “how is ‘religion’ constructed as a category here?” and “what work does the designation of something or someone as ‘religious’ do?” will, therefore, accompany us throughout our work over the course of this semester. We will also examine how different methodological commitments shape what objects of study and which questions come to the fore for the study of religion. This course will explore how the study of religion is not reducible to the study of traditions and communities that are readily recognized as “religious.” However, the vexed histories of the construction of “religion” as a category of knowledge production does also not negate that there are large, varied, and flourishing communities of practice beyond the university for whom whether or not “religion” exists is not at all a question. Holding these layers of complexity in play, this course seeks to introduce students exemplarily to key texts and concepts that have shaped the study of religion as we encounter it today as an academic discipline.

Microeconomics & Public Policy
Priority Reg: MPA-EPM. Prerequisite: MPA-EPM Student, or SIPAU6400 - Microeconomic Analysis.
To design and manage successful economic policy, professionals need a sophisticated command of modern microeconomics. This course strengthens and extends understanding of microeconomic theory, and gives practice applying it. We study the relationship between market structure and market performance, exploring conditions under which policy intervention can improve market performance, and when it can be counter-productive. Both distributional and efficiency aspects of intervention are stressed. An introduction to formal strategic analysis is included, along with its application in the modern theory of auctions.

Postmodernism vs. Tyranny: A Romanian Li
The course will examine the legendary Generation of the 1980s (the Blue Jeans generation) in Romanian literature, and its relationship with the Beat generation in American poetry on one hand, and with American Postmodernism in fiction, on the other.
The course will begin with a focus on Romanian literature of the 1980s and the suffocating atmosphere in which young writers were forced to live, their day-to-day struggles with the dictatorship and censorship, as well as their strong determination to preserve their inner freedom and the essential independence of the literary text. The discovery of the Beat poets, for example, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Gregory Corso, Gary Snyder etc., was a game-changer for Romanian poetry, introducing a fresh breath of air and a new poetic attitude. Like the Beat poets in San Francisco, who fought against the conservative establishment during the Vietnam War, the poets of the 1980s generation used the power of language against the Communist dictatorship, creating a poetry that was a mixture of European surrealism and the avantgarde, and the spirit of the U.S. Beat poets. The course will examine the work of the foremost Romanian poets of the period, including Traian T. Coșovei, Mariana Marin, Magda Cârneci, Florin Iaru, and Ion Stratan.
In the same historical period, the prose writers of the 1980s became interested in the philosophy of language, writing sophisticated texts under the influence of the literature of the Left Bank, the Nouveau Roman, the Oulipo group, etc. The new Postmodern American writers were also a huge influence on their works. John Barthes, Donald Barthelme, Robert Coover, and Thomas Pynchon, among others, were key figures for Romanian writers of that period. We will first examine the Postmodern philosophical ideas as expressed by Gianni Vattimo, Guy Scarpetta, Jean Francois Lyotard, Francis Fukuyama etc., then move on to the literary concepts that define postmodernity, as discussed in the work of theorists like Ihab Hassan, Matei Calinescu, Gerald Graff, Douwe Fokkema etc. Finally, the course will consider the short stories and novels by Mircea Nedelciu, Gheorghe Craciun, Ioana Parvulescu, Cristian Teodorescu, Gheorghe Iova, etc.

This seminar is PART 2 for second and third year students who are writing their MPhil thesis. It will assume the form of a yearlong seminar during which students design, research, and write up their MPhil projects. These projects can be based on any kind of sociological method, quantitative or qualitative. The thesis will assume the form of an article that can be submitted to a social science journal. The seminar will help you to find an interesting question, a way to answer it, and a mode of communicating this to fellow sociologists in a way that they might find worth paying attention to. The summer break between the two semesters will allow students who don’t come to the first semester with ready-to-analyze data to gather such data (through ethnographic work, archival research, scraping the internet, combining existing survey data, etc.).

Introduction to Biostatistical Methods
INTRO-BIOSTATISTICAL METH
Like many fields of learning, biostatistics has its own vocabulary often seen in medical and public health literature. Phrases like statistical significance", "p-value less than 0.05", "95% confident", and "margin of error" can have enormous impact in a world that relies on statistics to make decisions: Should Drug A be recommended over Drug B? Should a national policy on X be implemented? Does Vitamin C truly prevent colds? However, do we really know what these terms and phrases mean? Understanding the theory and methodology behind study design, estimation and hypothesis testing is crucial to ensuring that findings and practices in public health and biomedicine are supported by reliable evidence.

Macroeconomic Policy Management
Macroeconomic Policy Mgmt
Priority Reg: MPA-EPM. Prerequisite: MPA-EPM Student, or SIPAU6401 - Macroeconomic Analysis.
The course covers major problems and methods in macroeconomics, with particular focus on issues faced by policymakers in small, open economies. Modern macro is characterized by three fundamental features: economic outcomes are determined in general equilibrium; expectations play a crucial role and all analysis must be based on micro-foundations. Firms depend on consumers, who in turn depend on labor income, profits and rents, which are influenced by government decisions and the environment in which they work. Therefore, in general equilibrium, everything is related to everything, and we must carefully analyze how the economy will respond to those forces that can be considered “exogenous.” At the same time, Current behavior crucially depends on expectations about the future and those beliefs are shaped by the credibility of policies, the reputation of policymakers and the likelihood of potential “shocks.” Finally, economic incentives determine actions and we must make sure that our analysis of decision processes is incentive compatible. Macroeconomic outcomes (unemployment, inflation, growth, income distribution) may or may not be optimal and, if they are not, there usually is room for well-designed policy actions to bring us closer to more socially desirable results. In this class we will develop a basic understanding of models and theoretical foundations, but the relevant analytical framework will be presented in the context of current policy dilemmas. Students are expected to build a technical foundation to allow them a reasonably sophisticated understanding of the existing state of economic policy debates. We will discuss theory and evidence on determinants of growth, economic stabilization, inflation, monetary, fiscal and financial policies. Along the way, we will touch on “hot” policy discussions: the future of capitalism and income distribution; policies to generate growth and the role of government; global economic imbalances, secular stagnation and the long decline in risk free interest rates; economic adjustment in the wake of shocks (technology breakthroughs, pandemics, regulatory fads); should advanced economies worry about the high levels of debt or should they engage in fiscal expansion? How about emerging markets with much more limited access to borrowing? How should monetary policy be conducted to attain desired inflation levels? Why does the
