Brulle Drexel University Overview: This undergraduate course provides an introduction to the development and implementation of environmental policy in the United States. The aim of this course is to provide an understanding of how environmental policies are created, evaluated, and implemented. The course starts by examining the politics of the policy process, including the historical development of U.S. environmental policies, the key decision making arenas, and the participants in the development of environmental policy in the U.S. The second part of the course examines the theoretical approaches and practice of environmental policy analysis, including economic, social, and environmental impact assessment. The course concludes with an examination of how environmental policies are developed, implemented, and enforced through the development of environmental laws, regulations, and the federal budget process. Course Objectives: 1. Understand the basic approaches to the politics of the policy process, including the following concepts: Policy Arena Discourse Analysis Advocacy Coalition Approach 2. Identify the basic components of the policy analysis process, including prospective analysis and program evaluation. 3.
