Introduction: Romney’s Dilemma Mitt Romney woke up on the morning of September 11, 2012, with big hopes for this day – that he’d stop the slow slide of his campaign for the presidency. The political conventions were in his rear-view mirror, and the Republican nominee for the White House was trailing President Obama in most major polls. In an ABC News/Washington Post poll released at the start of the week, the former Massachusetts governor’s previous 1-point lead had flipped to a 6-point deficit.1 “Mr. Obama almost certainly had the more successful convention than Mr. Romney,” wrote Nate Silver, the polling guru and then-New York Times blogger.2 While the incumbent’s gathering in Charlotte was marked by party unity and rousing testimonials from Obama’s wife, Michelle, and former President Bill Clinton, Romney’s confab in Tampa had fallen flat.

Students are required to reflect on their engagements with these activities and to submit these to the School. Consult the academic catalog for procedures. MPP 642.01 Environmental Regulation, Business, and Society (See catalog for full description.) Wade Graham American Politics or State and Local Policy This course surveys the political, economic, and social implications of American resource management structures and statutes governing land, water, minerals, wildlife and fisheries, energy, flood, fire, air quality, and climate change. It begins with the historical development of the environmental movement and environmental policy in the United States. It will cover questions of environmental ethics, economics, law, politics, and regulation, using case studies of different economic sectors to explore the interactions of businesses, interest groups, agencies, politicians, scientists, and other forces in shaping American environmental policy. The intent of the course is to enable students to understand the dynamic structure of contemporary environmental policy questions, and provide them with the analytical tools to assess strengths and weaknesses in U.S. environmental policy regimes and to propose ways to reform and improve them. Students will look at questions of culture: tradition, ethics, conflicting values, and social change; at the machinery of environmental policy: politics, statutes, agencies, and courts; at economics: paradigms, subsidies, externalities, and cost- and benefit analyses; and at alternative regulatory designs, including market mechanisms, stakeholder processes, and state and local regulation.

  • U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress
    U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress Updated August 26, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44891 U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The U.S. role in the world refers to the overall character, purpose, or direction of U.S. participation in international affairs and the country’s overall relationship to the rest of the world. The U.S. role in the world can be viewed as establishing the overall context or framework for U.S. policymakers for developing, implementing, and measuring the success of U.S. policies and actions on specific international issues, and for foreign countries or other observers for interpreting and understanding U.S. actions on the world stage. While descriptions of the traditional U.S. role in the world since the end of World War II vary in their specifics, it can be described in general terms as consisting of four key elements: global leadership; defense and promotion of the liberal international order; defense and promotion of freedom, democracy, and human rights; and prevention of the emergence of regional hegemons in Eurasia. The issue for Congress is whether the U.S. role in the world has changed, and if so, what implications this might have for the United States and the world. A change in the U.S. role could have significant and even profound effects on U.S. security, freedom, and prosperity. It could significantly affect U.S. policy in areas such as relations with allies and other countries, defense plans and programs, trade and international finance, foreign assistance, and human rights.
