THEORIES & DEBATES-AMER POL II

This is the second of two semester-long courses that provide graduate students with an overview of the scholarly study of American politics. G6210 and G6211 constitute the American politics "field survey." The field survey is designed for political science graduate students who intend to specialize in American politics, as well as for those students whose primary interests are comparative politics, international relations, or political theory, but who desire an intensive introduction to the "American" style of political science. In this course we will cover a range of topics related to American politics that, for the most part, are not covered in G6210. The reading assignments are a mix of foundational contributions (i.e., the canons of American politics literature) and recent research. The first part of each seminar session will aim to clarify and probe enduring puzzles, theories, and debates highlighted in the foundational texts. The latter portion of the seminar session will focus on how recent research is continuing to engage the ongoing debates and puzzles.

ADVANCED MICRO ANALYSIS II

Prerequisites: the instructor's permission.
This course develops theory of designing markets—namely, “mechanisms” of allocating resources—that are efficient, fair and non-manipulable. Understanding the incentives participants face under alternative mechanisms will be a central theme of the course.  Specifically, the course will consist of two parts. The first part deals with environments where monetary transfers can be used, and focuses on topics such as optimal nonlinear pricing, optimal auction design, property rights assignment, dynamic mechanisms and assignment games/sponsored search auctions in Internet advertising. The second part concerns market design without monetary transfers and discusses matching theory as a primarily tool for analyzing the topic. Specifically, we shall discuss matching of agents on one side with agents on the other and matching of agents to indivisible resources/positions, and apply the theories to problems of house allocation, centralized labor market matching, and school choice.

LEADERSHIP/INNOVATIVE POL MAKING

LEADERSHIP/INNOVATV POL MAKING

In this course the students will (a) master key themes in leadership development and policy making, (b) increase their own leadership and policy making capacities through reflection and discussion and (c) evaluate the leadership record of an "extraordinary" policy leader. The goal of the three-pronged approach is to prepare students for understanding and exercising leadership-executive ability in government, non-governmental organizations, and business. Leadership is the ability to influence people towards achieving a goal. An important part of the SIPA mission is to prepare students for leadership and innovative policy making. In this course we will examine leadership and policy making "out of the box" as well as "inside the box" by having students tackle several key themes and some specific questions. The themes include issues such as, are leaders born or made? What kind of leaders design and implement "good" versus "bad" policies? Can "nudging" and "innovative policy making" substitute for forceful policy intervention? To what extent are economic and political outcomes products of leadership as opposed to external environment?

ROLE-GOV-ADV CORP SUSTAIN DEV

Corporations embrace sustainable development to optimize environmental and social performance and corporate governance, improving competitive advantage and asset value while contributing to human wellbeing and environmental integrity. Brand value, product differentiation, cost and risk reduction and the enhancement of environmental and social conditions through a company's value chain, operations and the goods and services it sells are all hallmarks of corporate sustainability. This course profiles the history, underpinnings and elements of this rapidly evolving field, with a focus on environmental management. We take a systems approach, exploring how corporate strategy is becoming evermore grounded in an understanding of a corporation's interdependencies with the natural world and the broad array of its internal and external stakeholders. Sustainability is explored from the perspectives of multinational corporations, midsize firms and small businesses contributing to sustainable local economies. We also address the role of government in forwarding this agenda, including: incentives and technical assistance to advance best practice and product development; public/private partnerships for research and demonstration; facilitating environmental markets; and green procurement. We will also address the challenges faced by government, including: resource constraints; mandates that direct the bulk of public funding for the environment to command and control regulation; and the wavering of political will to advance sustainability in the face of 'conservative' opposition to environmental and social action.

ECONOMICS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVPT

The objective of this course is to equip students with the skills necessary to critically analyze policy alternatives which further Sustainable Development. Throughout the course, students will compare competing objectives and policies through the prism of economic reasoning. Although some mathematical economic models will be discussed, the emphasis of the course will be on using economic intuition rather than mathematics. By the end of the course, students should have a firm understanding of competing views regarding what constitutes sustainability and development, and appropriate policies to get us there. In addition, they should be able to express their own views in a manner that demonstrates an understanding of general economic theory.

ENERGY POLICY

The course provides a survey and analysis of the various dimensions, domestic and international, of policy formulation that, taken together, constitute energy policy. These dimensions include contributing to access to and production of natural energy resources; insuring the security and reliability of energy sources; promoting the diversity of fuels and development of new  technologies in light of energy security and climate change mitigation objectives; promoting energy conservation and energy efficiency; environmental regulation at the domestic (air and water quality) and global (climate) levels. The objectives inspiring these policies are pursued through a combination of reliance on energy markets; subsidies and tax policy; development of energy infrastructure and a broad array of international policies influencing relations among and between net exporting and net importing countries. The origin of each policy issue, and lessons from significant "market failures," are examined and the consequences of policy alternatives are evaluated.  The major legal and regulatory themes of U.S. energy policy are examined (Part 1) and so are the essential dimensions of international policies affecting the international energy scene.

HOUSING POLICY & THE CITY

This class is designed to introduce students to housing policy and how it shapes cities and neighborhoods - and in turn how housing policy is shaped by a place's culture, values, economy, and its politics. It will examine the tools, strategies, laws, codes and programs employed to influence the housing marketplace in urban environments. Students will learn how housing policies can create problems and distortions in cities, as well as how they can work to resolve them. In particular, the class will focus on housing policy as a driver of solutions following economic problems (market failures and excesses), conflict (including war), and natural disasters (Katrina and Superstorm Sandy). Students will be introduced to methods to identify housing issues, determine which housing policy tools are most effective, what constraints must be considered, and how to minimize the impact of unintended consequences. The class will also explore the nexus of housing policy, community identity, and the private marketplace. The overall objective of the course is to illustrate to students the vital link between policy and practice, the need for ongoing evaluation of goals and outcomes, and the importance of sound research and observation when working within the field of housing in cities.
