Studies what it means to be a policy scientist, emphasizing a conceptual understanding of what policy is, how policies are designed, how they change over time, and the populations and institutions that the policies serve (or fail to serve). Examines how these and related questions have been explored both in classical theories and more recent extensions, focusing on how students can pursue a policy science rooted in theory.
