About the course

Public policy is often formulated in the context of political negotiations and organized constituencies. Gaining buy-in, mobilizing support and navigating political and institutional systems are part of any policy-making process. Courses in politics, media, and advocacy equip students with the tools to not only identify effective and inclusive policy interventions but also get them supported and adopted.

　　Coursework focuses on electoral politics, including how political campaigns are organized and supported around an agenda, organizing methods and strategies for developing issue campaigns, public awareness, engagement, and support, strategies that reflect an understanding and take advantage of government and non-governmental formations, and public education and persuasion.
