PS 4260 - Women and Public Policy

3 credit hours

Explores the relationships between women and contemporary public policy in in the Global North and Global South. Topics include how public policy is made and women’s political roles in the making of public policy, as well as women’s administrative roles in the implementation of public policy. Focuses on theories of representation, whether women have identifiable policy interests, the diversity of women’s policy interests, how those interests expressed, and whether women’s policy interests differ from men’s (e.g., the gender gap in voting and public opinion).
