Choose one:
- In chapter 11, Schuck lists a number of policy successes. Having read Stone, you know that one person's success story is another person's horror story. Explain an alternative frame for one of Schuck's policy successes, showing how a critic would take a dimmer view. Which side would you agree with?
- Pick an example of policy feedback since the 2016 election. Explain how an existing policy has created the political conditions for its own survival, growth, decay, or evolution. Examples could include the Affordable Care Act, renewable energy, Head Start, SNAP, SSI, and farm subsidies -- among many others.
- Pick any chapter of Responsive States and write an update. That is, how have the patterns that Karch and Rose describe persisted or changed in recent years? Do shifts in the partisan composition of state governments require revision of the analysis?
- Write an essay on any relevant policy topic, subject to my approval.
Instructions
- Document your claims. Do not write from the top of your head.
- Essays should be double-spaced and no more than six pages long. I will not read past the sixth page.
- Cite your sources with endnotes in Chicago/Turabian style. Endnote pages do not count against the page limit.
- Watch your spelling, grammar, diction, and punctuation. Errors will count against you.
- Turn in essays to the class Sakai dropbox by 11:59 PM, Friday, November 12. I reserve the right to dock late essays one gradepoint for one day’s lateness, a full letter grade after that.
