This required course forms the core of the Cornell in Washington program for students in the public policy option. The central course objective is to provide students with the instruction and guidance necessary to analyze and evaluate their own chosen issue in public policy. Toward that end, the course has three components: (1) weekly lectures providing background on the structures and processes of national politics and policy as well as training in research methodology; (2) student externships; and (3) individual research papers or projects. All three components interrelate so as to provide students with a strategy and framework for integrating classroom based learning, field experience and individual research.

In the mid-20th century United States, egalitarianism seemed to be on the rise: the ranks of the middle class swelled and policy makers eradicated laws that had long sanctioned racial and gender hierarchies. Then, beginning in 1973 and to the present, economic inequality escalated, stratifying Americans by income and wealth and reinforcing old cleavages that the civil rights and feminist movements had sought to overcome. This course investigates how American politics has influenced and been shaped by these developments. We will examine trends across the political system, investigating aspects of political voice, including political participation and public opinion; political institutions, including Congress, political parties, and interest groups; and public policy, considering the extent to which it ameliorates or fosters inequality. The course offers a broad survey of important literature in the field of American politics.

This graduate course will explore the relationship between popular belief, political action, and the institutional deployment of social power. The class will be roughly divided in three parts, opening with a discussion of the material foundations of cultural ideation in socioeconomic “practice.” The middle section will connect ideation to political ideology, including symbolism and group identity. The last portion of the course will consider the impact of both cultural ideation and political ideology on institutional structure and legitimation. This section will also trace how political regimes can influence, coming full circle, to the material foundations of cultural ideation.

The relationship between democracy and the media is conflict-laden. Modern democracy would be on the one hand impossible without media. Media are considered on the other as a potential threat to modern democracy. The increasing pervasiveness of mediated political communication emphasizes the tension between democracy and the media to increasing degrees. This class aims at an in-depth survey on the concepts that we use to analyze the relationship between democracy and the media and on the findings emerging from empirical research guided by these concepts. The class adopts a comparative perspective to understand the impact of contextual factors on the relationship between democracy and the media.
