American State Politics, POSC 171
This course introduces students to the study of State Politics and Policy. We will investigate variation and similarity between the 50 states in areas such as the legislative process, legislative design, the usage of ballot initiatives and direct legislation, estimating state-level public opinion, mass media, party organization, executive functions, the courts, and public policy processes and outcomes. All the while we will remain cognizant of the role federalism plays in producing unique outcomes in the states and how states are often laboratories of democracy and public policy.
