PSC 383 - Domestic Policy (3 cr.)

The course is an examination of the major strategic areas of U.S. Domestic Policy. These include: the economic and budgetary issues, public health, education, social welfare, and environment and criminal justice policies, and the cultural wars in social regulations. The course looks at the history of these areas from their emergence as policy concerns, through the growing role of the federal government, to their current status. There is also a comparison between the ways these issues are handled politically in the U.S. compared with other modern democracies.
