PSC 358 - Political Movements (3 cr.)

This course looks at political movements, broadly defined, and largely in the United States. A movement is a spontaneous “grassroots,” issue-based political activity that takes place outside the traditional framework for political participation. The course focuses on the relationship between political movements and public policy - particularly sudden, non-incremental shifts in policy. Several important movements are examined as is their impact on politics and policy.
