The role of think-tanks in foreign policy strategy and public diplomacy
Here I am uploading my last "Public Diplomacy Course 2017" presentation. There are definitely other presentations and articles to come in near future!
One field within "smart international relations" portfolio that I find extremely interesting, but only modestly analyzed are think-tanks. I have a pleasure of working with experts, researchers and think-tanks from the very beginning of my career and I love it. There is so much knowledge, wisdom, brainstorming and expertise in the circle of experts that organising or taking part of in any seminar or conference gives just pure intellectual pleasure. What is more important, however, is the fact that think-tank gatherings provide very much of a background and rationale for decision-making processes. This is a huge and fascinating field to think of and analyze.
I hope this presentation to reach many experts and raise many questions on the side of the readers. Think-tanks surely deserve these questions to be asked - and answered.
Think tank
A think tank is an organization that conducts research and advocacy on public policy issues. Think tanks generate new information through research, evaluate policies and programs, provide advice to governments, and educate the public. They vary in their areas of research, funding sources, organizational structure, and influence. The United States has the largest number of think tanks in the world, which play an important role in developing and analyzing solutions to complex issues.
Think tanks, an instrument for development
This document discusses think tanks, including what they are, their functions, and operations. It defines think tanks as independent, non-profit research organizations that aim to influence policymaking. Think tanks conduct research, provide policy advice to governments, evaluate programs, and facilitate public policy debates. Their success depends on factors like available human and financial resources, and an enabling legal environment. Operations rely on professional expertise, reputation, and relationships with donors and governments. Think tanks disseminate their work through various publications and public outreach.
Refrigeration and air conditioning
The document summarizes key topics from a training presentation on refrigeration and air conditioning systems, including:
- Types of refrigeration systems like vapor compression and vapor absorption.
- How to assess the cooling capacity of refrigeration and AC units in tons of refrigeration.
- Metrics for measuring the energy efficiency of refrigeration systems like coefficient of performance and specific power consumption.
- Opportunities for improving energy efficiency such as optimizing heat exchange, multi-staging, capacity control, and chilled water storage.
Why I Eat Meat
I eat meat for three main reasons:
1) Meat is an important source of protein and nutrients for a balanced diet. It provides vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that are important for human health.
2) Humans are omnivores who have evolved to eat meat. Our bodies are well-adapted to digesting and absorbing nutrients from meat.
3) I enjoy the taste of meat. It adds flavor, texture and variety to meals that I find satisfying and enjoyable to eat.
Refrigeration and air conditioning (21 10-10)
This document discusses refrigeration and air conditioning. It describes the refrigeration cycle process and different refrigeration methods including non-cyclic, cyclic, vapor compression, and gas cycle refrigeration. It defines a unit of refrigeration and discusses characteristics of refrigerants such as odor, color, boiling point, dangers, and benefits. The document was prepared by mechanical engineering students at Quaid-e-Awam University of Engineering, Science & Technology in Pakistan.
Refrigeration and-air-conditioning-by-iit-kgp
Natural refrigeration methods have been used for centuries and include:
1) Transporting ice from colder regions or harvesting ice in winter and storing it for summer use in insulated ice houses.
2) Producing ice at night by exposing water to the cold night sky through radiation cooling.
3) Evaporative cooling methods like storing water in porous earthen pots or using wet straw mats.
4) Cooling water by dissolving salts in it, which causes an endothermic reaction that lowers the temperature.
Artificial refrigeration methods developed more recently include:
1) Vapour compression systems used initially for domestic refrigeration and later for air conditioning.
2) Vap

Voter and Voter Turnout
Prepare: Prior to completing this discussion question, review Chapters 10, 11, and 12 in American Government and review Week Five Instructor Guidance. Also read the following articles: How Voter ID Laws Are Being Used to Disenfranchise Minorities and the Poor (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., Fraught with Fraud (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., and Proof at the Polls (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
Reflect: The U.S. has one of the lowest voter turnout rates among modern democratic political systems. One study ranks the U.S. 120th on a list of 169 nations compared on voter turnout (Pintor, Gratschew, & Sullivan, 2002). During the last decade, many initiatives have been undertaken to increase voter participation, yet concerns about the possibility of election fraud have also increased. Additionally, some political interests feel threatened by the increase in turnout among some traditionally low-turnout ethnic minorities. Several states have recently passed legislation imposing new registration and identification requirements. This has sparked debate about whether these are tactics intended to suppress turnout or to prevent fraud. Think about the media’s role in the election process and how both mass media and social media can impact the election process.
Write: In your initial post, summarize recent developments in several states enacting voter ID laws. Analyze and describe the pros and cons on both sides of the debate about these laws. Is voter fraud a major problem for our democracy or are some groups trying to make it harder for some segments of society to vote? What impact has the media (mass and social) had in influencing public opinion regarding voter ID laws? Draw your own conclusion about the debate over voter ID laws and justify your conclusions with facts and persuasive reasoning. Fully respond to all parts of the prompt and write your response in your own words. Your initial post must be at least 300 words. Support your position with at least two of the assigned resources required for this discussion, and/or peer reviewed scholarly sources obtained through the AU Library databases. Include APA in-text citations (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. in the body of your post and full citations on the references list (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. at the end. Support your position with APA citations from two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion. Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them properly.

Application Democratic Governance and Policy NetworksPolicy n.docx
Application: Democratic Governance and Policy Networks
Policy networks are a prevalent feature of democratic governance. The policy network approach requires collaboration among interested parties in order to make progress in forming public policy. The various actors in a policy network organize, form coalitions, communicate, coordinate, and compete around policy issues of interest to them. Policy networks are organic entities that may change over time. Depending on the policy issue, today’s allies in a policy network may be tomorrow’s enemies. For example, conservative and libertarian groups may work together to defeat a new tax proposal but may quickly part ways over the legalization of medical marijuana. The operation of policy networks is shaped by the political, social, and economic climate in which they operate.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review the articles “Analyzing and Managing Policy Processes in Complex Networks: A Theoretical Examination of the Concept Policy Network and Its Problems” in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the definitions of policy network presented and the evolving structures and processes associated with the term
policy network
.
Recall the issue you selected for this week’s Discussion and think about which actors and organizations might be part of the policy network related to the issue.
.
This is what I wrote about this week
How should policy makers balance competing interests?
Policy makers have tried to balance competing interest since the beginning of time and have been successful had it until now. Thanks to social media people all over the country are able to express their views on any and everything that is going right and wrong in this country. Policy makers are now forced to listen to the people and can no longer turn a blind eye to what’s going on in the United States. The Obama administration saw the impact of social media and used this platform to reach people who had never voted for and young people who never paid that much attention to politics. According to Harvey (2014), “Social media has become as much a part of American politics as county fairs, according to Harvey.”
Philips, A., (2014).
Social media has had an impact on politics.

Lobbying Stakeholder Analysis/ENGL 202 project 4
This document analyzes lobbying in the United States. It discusses how lobbying is defined differently by pro-business stakeholders who see it as a way to advance business versus citizen groups who see it as undue corporate influence. It also examines actions that have been taken to regulate lobbying, such as the McCain-Feingold Act, and potential future actions like the American Anti-Corruption Act that aims to restrict lobbyist influence and increase transparency. Public opinion on lobbying is mixed, with many seeing corporations as having too much influence but others valuing free speech rights. There remains little agreement on how to balance these perspectives.

1. Changing Hispanic Power in America (http://lcweb.loc.gov/rr/hispanic/congress)
In recent years, the great cultural diversity of America has been reflected by the increasing number of Hispanics in the American population. Demographers predict that Hispanics will eventually become the largest minority group in the nation, possibly surpassing African Americans in total numbers. In addition, Hispanic voting has been on the upswing in elections. Appropriately, Hispanic representation has also been increasing. In order to gain an additional perspective on this trend, go to the above listed URL, entitled “Hispanic Americans in Congress.” Select the link to the Table of Contents and then hit “Introduction.” Read the several pages of material and answer the following questions:
· Which three states first sent Hispanic representatives to Congress? What effect did the Spanish-American War have upon the history of Hispanic Americans in Congress?
· Who were Dennis Chavez and Joseph Manuel Montoya?
· Why did the first half of the 1990s witness an increase in the number of Hispanic members?
· What is the Hispanic Caucus, when was it established, and why is it significant?
Select the back button on your browser and return to the main page and Table of Contents. Find the link entitled “Hispanic Americans in Congress, 1822-1935, List by Geographic Locations” and focus on the most recent years available.
· Which states in the 1990s have provided most of the Hispanic congressional legislators?
Now click on the links for any five contemporary Hispanic representatives. Read their short biographies and answer the following:
· Are there political, social, and economic issues that seem common to the policy interests of the five Hispanic representatives?
· On which important committees and subcommittees do the Hispanic legislators serve?
· Is there any overlap among those respective committee/subcommittee assignments?
· What to the various assignments tell you about Hispanic interests/needs in America?

Final Paper Prompt Fall 2017 In the format of a typ.docx
Final Paper Prompt
Fall 2017
In the format of a typed, double-spaced, 5- page essay, please address the following:
“Democracy is a form of government in which all eligible citizens have an equal say in the decisions that
affect their lives. Democracy allows eligible citizens to participate equally - either directly or through
elected representatives - in the proposal, development, and creation of laws.”
The United States prides itself on being the first nation in modern history to adopt a democratic
constitution. Our government even tries to spread democracy to other countries. But, is the Unites States
really a democracy in the full sense of the word?
Write an essay that argues that the United States is not really a democracy. In doing so, emphasize non-
democratic practices, outcomes, and the inconsistencies of American politics.
Suggestions:
I encourage you to do some outside research. You are required to have at least one source which you find
through Jstor.org. However, it is entirely possible (though, much more difficult) to write an excellent
paper based primarily (not solely) on the readings you have already done for this class and on the lectures
(no need to cite lecture). The best papers would probably include sources/articles that provide evidence
for the counterargument (i.e. the US is a democracy).
A good starting point would be for you to look more closely at:
- Gerrymandering
- The Electoral College
- The Senate
- The intentions of the Founding Fathers
- Etc.

Now that you have been assigned an issue, it is time to focus on the.docx
Now that you have been assigned an issue, it is time to focus on the research for the project. Policy briefs, or memos as they are sometimes called, differ from typical academic research papers in some respects. Their main purpose is to provide analysis and recommendations to a limited audience of policymakers and their staffs so that they can make an informed decision. These people do not have lots of time to do their own research and read long documents. Therefore, the brief must give the policymaker access to a lot of information in a clear, concise and well-organized fashion.
Part I
. Describe and Define the Issue/Problem
. In defining an issue, you take a position on the scope and seriousness of the problem and identify one or more causes. How do we know that the problem really exists? How does the problem manifest itself? What is the severity of the problem and who is affected most? Who and how many people are affected (supply metrics if available)? What are the various costs of the problem to individuals, communities and the nation? What are the cause or causes of the problem? What is the evidence to link the cause to the problem? If multiple causes exist, identify root and proximate causes. Focus your more in depth analysis on only one or two of the causes. Use numbers and comparisons to help readers understand the problem.
(Should not exceed 4 pages)
.
Part II
. Describe and Discuss the Merits of the Policy Alternatives
. What alternative approaches exist for reducing or eliminating the problem or mitigating its effects? Discuss at least two. (The alternatives may exist only on paper or they may have already been adopted by some jurisdictions. They may be your own alternative or those that you have borrowed from others.) What steps can the federal/state/local government take to address the problem? Assess the different approaches in terms of their promise for reducing the problem and their costs and benefits to society. Which do you think would be most effective and what would be the cost? (some of the benefits and costs may be difficult to quantify and monetize, but should still be noted).
(Should not exceed 4 pages)
.
Part III
. Assess Political Feasibility and Make a Recommendation
. Choose one or two alternatives and discuss its/their political feasibility. Would there be enough political support to gain approval of your preferred alternative?

Application Influence on Public PolicyNewspapers frequently featu.docx
Application: Influence on Public Policy
Newspapers frequently feature stories on how various democratic principles and processes contribute to democratic governance and impact a wide variety of issues, ranging from the distribution of flu vaccines to the appropriate legal venue for terrorist trials. Public policies that are formulated to address such issues come about as the result of the influence and application of various democratic principles and processes. In addition, competing interests and factions engage in the democratic process using tools such as lobbying or elections in an effort to leverage public policy. As you think about democratic principles and processes for this Assignment, take note of where you see their influence in recent public policy issues.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review the article “War v. Justice: Terrorism Cases, Enemy Combatants, and Political Justice in U.S. Courts” in this week’s Learning Resources. Take note of key democratic principles explained. Consider how the democratic principles in the article might influence public policy.
Review the articles “Strategic Lobbying: Demonstrating How Legislative Context Affects Interest Groups’ Lobbying Tactics” and “The Study of Party Factions as Competitive Political Organizations” in this week’s Learning Resources.
Think about the democratic processes used by lobbying groups and political factions to influence public policy.
Select a public policy issue related to your specialization or to an area with which you are familiar.
Select three democratic principles and/or processes that you think might influence the formulation of public policy related to your issue.
Reflect on how these principles and processes of democracy influence the formulation of the public policy you selected.
The Assignment (2–3 pages):
Briefly describe the public policy issue you selected for this Assignment.
Using three democratic principles and/or processes of your choice, explain how you think these democratic principles and/or processes influence the formulation of public policy.
Based on your analysis, share at least one insight you gained about the influence of democratic principles and processes on the formulation of public policy. Or, if you live outside the United States, explain how these democratic principles might affect governance in your country.

For this Unit 4 assignment, you will prepare an APA-formatted essay of at least 500 words reflecting the opposing view of the topic that you selected in Unit 3.
When preparing an informative or expository essay, it is important to identify multiple perspectives. Investigating all sides of a topic enables you to interpret a larger picture and prepare logical content. In Unit 3, you selected a topic question, determined a viewpoint, and created your assignment based on that viewpoint. For Unit 4, you will write an APA-formatted essay on the opposite viewpoint of your selected topic.
Specifically, your submission must include the following:
· A title page with the correct APA formatting
· An abstract page with correct APA formatting
· An introduction paragraph based on the opposing viewpoint of your Unit 3 topic question
· This requires the creation of a new thesis statement.
· It requires 3 supporting subtopics.
· It requires the new thesis statement to be the last sentence of the introduction paragraph.
· Develop at least 3 transitional paragraphs. Transitional paragraphs are the expanded paragraph information based on your thesis subtopics.
· Develop a concluding paragraph. Remember to restate your thesis statement in the conclusion.
Readings and Notes “Levels of Evaluation”
Policy Evaluation
The notion of “systematic” policy and program evaluation only dates back to the 1970s when questions were raised about the outcomes of the Johnson era's War on Poverty programs. Simply, the poor did not seem too much better off, despite some programmatic attention--and dollars--spent on improving their situation. This story ends as it began. Recall that the first week discussed the emergence of hyperfederalism in which all parties (jurisdictions and agencies) try to get as much of the others' share without too much common (national) public good associated with their efforts.
One of the better-known War on Poverty programs was called the Model Cities Program. The original (White House) idea for this program was experimental. It called for funding a small number of large cities, such as New York, Philadelphia and Chicago with especially acute slum problems. When the bill went to Congress, it was clear that unless the base of (support for) the program grew, it would not pass. (Recall GCT on expanding the base to insure a bill's passage often waters down its original intentions, or, dissipates them.) A then leading senator, Senator Edward Muskie (D-Maine) said he would only vote for the bill if cities such as Augusta, Bangor and Portland were made eligible for aid. The bill passed in 1966 and even small cities like Poughkeepsie were not only eligible, but received money as well for public housing projects. By most people's sights, the program utterly failed to reduce the existence of slums anywhere. No one now knows whether the original intentions might have led to a greater chance for program success. Instead of massive funding for a few projects, t ...

Voter and Voter Turnout
Prepare: Prior to completing this discussion question, review Chapters 10, 11, and 12 in American Government and review Week Five Instructor Guidance. Also read the following articles: How Voter ID Laws Are Being Used to Disenfranchise Minorities and the Poor (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., Fraught with Fraud (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., and Proof at the Polls (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
Reflect: The U.S. has one of the lowest voter turnout rates among modern democratic political systems. One study ranks the U.S. 120th on a list of 169 nations compared on voter turnout (Pintor, Gratschew, & Sullivan, 2002). During the last decade, many initiatives have been undertaken to increase voter participation, yet concerns about the possibility of election fraud have also increased. Additionally, some political interests feel threatened by the increase in turnout among some traditionally low-turnout ethnic minorities. Several states have recently passed legislation imposing new registration and identification requirements. This has sparked debate about whether these are tactics intended to suppress turnout or to prevent fraud. Think about the media’s role in the election process and how both mass media and social media can impact the election process.
Write: In your initial post, summarize recent developments in several states enacting voter ID laws. Analyze and describe the pros and cons on both sides of the debate about these laws. Is voter fraud a major problem for our democracy or are some groups trying to make it harder for some segments of society to vote? What impact has the media (mass and social) had in influencing public opinion regarding voter ID laws? Draw your own conclusion about the debate over voter ID laws and justify your conclusions with facts and persuasive reasoning. Fully respond to all parts of the prompt and write your response in your own words. Your initial post must be at least 300 words. Support your position with at least two of the assigned resources required for this discussion, and/or peer reviewed scholarly sources obtained through the AU Library databases. Include APA in-text citations (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. in the body of your post and full citations on the references list (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. at the end. Support your position with APA citations from two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion. Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them properly.

Application Democratic Governance and Policy NetworksPolicy n.docx
Application: Democratic Governance and Policy Networks
Policy networks are a prevalent feature of democratic governance. The policy network approach requires collaboration among interested parties in order to make progress in forming public policy. The various actors in a policy network organize, form coalitions, communicate, coordinate, and compete around policy issues of interest to them. Policy networks are organic entities that may change over time. Depending on the policy issue, today’s allies in a policy network may be tomorrow’s enemies. For example, conservative and libertarian groups may work together to defeat a new tax proposal but may quickly part ways over the legalization of medical marijuana. The operation of policy networks is shaped by the political, social, and economic climate in which they operate.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review the articles “Analyzing and Managing Policy Processes in Complex Networks: A Theoretical Examination of the Concept Policy Network and Its Problems” in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the definitions of policy network presented and the evolving structures and processes associated with the term
policy network
.
Recall the issue you selected for this week’s Discussion and think about which actors and organizations might be part of the policy network related to the issue.

This is what I wrote about this week
How should policy makers balance competing interests?
Policy makers have tried to balance competing interest since the beginning of time and have been successful had it until now. Thanks to social media people all over the country are able to express their views on any and everything that is going right and wrong in this country. Policy makers are now forced to listen to the people and can no longer turn a blind eye to what’s going on in the United States. The Obama administration saw the impact of social media and used this platform to reach people who had never voted for and young people who never paid that much attention to politics. According to Harvey (2014), “Social media has become as much a part of American politics as county fairs, according to Harvey.”

Lobbying Stakeholder Analysis/ENGL 202 project 4
This document analyzes lobbying in the United States. It discusses how lobbying is defined differently by pro-business stakeholders who see it as a way to advance business versus citizen groups who see it as undue corporate influence. It also examines actions that have been taken to regulate lobbying, such as the McCain-Feingold Act, and potential future actions like the American Anti-Corruption Act that aims to restrict lobbyist influence and increase transparency. Public opinion on lobbying is mixed, with many seeing corporations as having too much influence but others valuing free speech rights. There remains little agreement on how to balance these perspectives.

1. Changing Hispanic Power in America (http://lcweb.loc.gov/rr/hispanic/congress)
In recent years, the great cultural diversity of America has been reflected by the increasing number of Hispanics in the American population. Demographers predict that Hispanics will eventually become the largest minority group in the nation, possibly surpassing African Americans in total numbers. In addition, Hispanic voting has been on the upswing in elections. Appropriately, Hispanic representation has also been increasing. In order to gain an additional perspective on this trend, go to the above listed URL, entitled “Hispanic Americans in Congress.” Select the link to the Table of Contents and then hit “Introduction.” Read the several pages of material and answer the following questions:
· Which three states first sent Hispanic representatives to Congress? What effect did the Spanish-American War have upon the history of Hispanic Americans in Congress?
· Who were Dennis Chavez and Joseph Manuel Montoya?
· Why did the first half of the 1990s witness an increase in the number of Hispanic members?
· What is the Hispanic Caucus, when was it established, and why is it significant?
Select the back button on your browser and return to the main page and Table of Contents. Find the link entitled “Hispanic Americans in Congress, 1822-1935, List by Geographic Locations” and focus on the most recent years available.
· Which states in the 1990s have provided most of the Hispanic congressional legislators?
Now click on the links for any five contemporary Hispanic representatives. Read their short biographies and answer the following:
· Are there political, social, and economic issues that seem common to the policy interests of the five Hispanic representatives?
· On which important committees and subcommittees do the Hispanic legislators serve?
· Is there any overlap among those respective committee/subcommittee assignments?
· What to the various assignments tell you about Hispanic interests/needs in America?

Final Paper Prompt Fall 2017 In the format of a typ.docx
Final Paper Prompt
Fall 2017
In the format of a typed, double-spaced, 5- page essay, please address the following:
“Democracy is a form of government in which all eligible citizens have an equal say in the decisions that
affect their lives. Democracy allows eligible citizens to participate equally - either directly or through
elected representatives - in the proposal, development, and creation of laws.”
The United States prides itself on being the first nation in modern history to adopt a democratic
constitution. Our government even tries to spread democracy to other countries. But, is the Unites States
really a democracy in the full sense of the word?
Write an essay that argues that the United States is not really a democracy. In doing so, emphasize non-
democratic practices, outcomes, and the inconsistencies of American politics.
Suggestions:
I encourage you to do some outside research. You are required to have at least one source which you find

paper based primarily (not solely) on the readings you have already done for this class and on the lectures
(no need to cite lecture). The best papers would probably include sources/articles that provide evidence
for the counterargument (i.e. the US is a democracy).
A good starting point would be for you to look more closely at:
- Gerrymandering
- The Electoral College
- The Senate
- The intentions of the Founding Fathers
- Etc.

Now that you have been assigned an issue, it is time to focus on the.docx
Now that you have been assigned an issue, it is time to focus on the research for the project. Policy briefs, or memos as they are sometimes called, differ from typical academic research papers in some respects. Their main purpose is to provide analysis and recommendations to a limited audience of policymakers and their staffs so that they can make an informed decision. These people do not have lots of time to do their own research and read long documents. Therefore, the brief must give the policymaker access to a lot of information in a clear, concise and well-organized fashion.
Part I
. Describe and Define the Issue/Problem
. In defining an issue, you take a position on the scope and seriousness of the problem and identify one or more causes. How do we know that the problem really exists? How does the problem manifest itself? What is the severity of the problem and who is affected most? Who and how many people are affected (supply metrics if available)? What are the various costs of the problem to individuals, communities and the nation? What are the cause or causes of the problem? What is the evidence to link the cause to the problem? If multiple causes exist, identify root and proximate causes. Focus your more in depth analysis on only one or two of the causes. Use numbers and comparisons to help readers understand the problem.
(Should not exceed 4 pages)
.
Part II
. Describe and Discuss the Merits of the Policy Alternatives
. What alternative approaches exist for reducing or eliminating the problem or mitigating its effects? Discuss at least two. (The alternatives may exist only on paper or they may have already been adopted by some jurisdictions. They may be your own alternative or those that you have borrowed from others.) What steps can the federal/state/local government take to address the problem? Assess the different approaches in terms of their promise for reducing the problem and their costs and benefits to society. Which do you think would be most effective and what would be the cost? (some of the benefits and costs may be difficult to quantify and monetize, but should still be noted).
(Should not exceed 4 pages)
.
Part III
. Assess Political Feasibility and Make a Recommendation
. Choose one or two alternatives and discuss its/their political feasibility. Would there be enough political support to gain approval of your preferred alternative? What might be done to gain the support of or circumvent potential opponents? (For this part of the project you may consider political feasibility at the national, state or local levels.)
(Should not exceed 3 pages)
Page limits do not include list of references at the end of document and any charts, tables or appendixes.
PAGE LIMIT SHOULD BE 8-10 PAGES ONLY.
Format and Sources.
Your drafts should be type-written,
double-spaced
with one-inch margins and 12-point font. Think about how to organize the brief to highlight the important points;.

Application Influence on Public PolicyNewspapers frequently featu.docx
Application: Influence on Public Policy
Newspapers frequently feature stories on how various democratic principles and processes contribute to democratic governance and impact a wide variety of issues, ranging from the distribution of flu vaccines to the appropriate legal venue for terrorist trials. Public policies that are formulated to address such issues come about as the result of the influence and application of various democratic principles and processes. In addition, competing interests and factions engage in the democratic process using tools such as lobbying or elections in an effort to leverage public policy. As you think about democratic principles and processes for this Assignment, take note of where you see their influence in recent public policy issues.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review the article “War v. Justice: Terrorism Cases, Enemy Combatants, and Political Justice in U.S. Courts” in this week’s Learning Resources. Take note of key democratic principles explained. Consider how the democratic principles in the article might influence public policy.
Review the articles “Strategic Lobbying: Demonstrating How Legislative Context Affects Interest Groups’ Lobbying Tactics” and “The Study of Party Factions as Competitive Political Organizations” in this week’s Learning Resources.
Think about the democratic processes used by lobbying groups and political factions to influence public policy.
Select a public policy issue related to your specialization or to an area with which you are familiar.
Select three democratic principles and/or processes that you think might influence the formulation of public policy related to your issue.
Reflect on how these principles and processes of democracy influence the formulation of the public policy you selected.
The Assignment (2–3 pages):
Briefly describe the public policy issue you selected for this Assignment.
Using three democratic principles and/or processes of your choice, explain how you think these democratic principles and/or processes influence the formulation of public policy.
Based on your analysis, share at least one insight you gained about the influence of democratic principles and processes on the formulation of public policy. Or, if you live outside the United States, explain how these democratic principles might affect governance in your country.
Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list only for those resources

For this Unit 4 assignment, you will prepare an APA-formatted essa.docx
For this Unit 4 assignment, you will prepare an APA-formatted essay of at least 500 words reflecting the opposing view of the topic that you selected in Unit 3.
When preparing an informative or expository essay, it is important to identify multiple perspectives. Investigating all sides of a topic enables you to interpret a larger picture and prepare logical content. In Unit 3, you selected a topic question, determined a viewpoint, and created your assignment based on that viewpoint. For Unit 4, you will write an APA-formatted essay on the opposite viewpoint of your selected topic.
Specifically, your submission must include the following:
· A title page with the correct APA formatting
· An abstract page with correct APA formatting
· An introduction paragraph based on the opposing viewpoint of your Unit 3 topic question
· This requires the creation of a new thesis statement.
· It requires 3 supporting subtopics.
· It requires the new thesis statement to be the last sentence of the introduction paragraph.
· Develop at least 3 transitional paragraphs. Transitional paragraphs are the expanded paragraph information based on your thesis subtopics.
· Develop a concluding paragraph. Remember to restate your thesis statement in the conclusion.
Readings and Notes “Levels of Evaluation”
Policy Evaluation
The notion of “systematic” policy and program evaluation only dates back to the 1970s when questions were raised about the outcomes of the Johnson era's War on Poverty programs. Simply, the poor did not seem too much better off, despite some programmatic attention--and dollars--spent on improving their situation. This story ends as it began. Recall that the first week discussed the emergence of hyperfederalism in which all parties (jurisdictions and agencies) try to get as much of the others' share without too much common (national) public good associated with their efforts.
One of the better-known War on Poverty programs was called the Model Cities Program. The original (White House) idea for this program was experimental. It called for funding a small number of large cities, such as New York, Philadelphia and Chicago with especially acute slum problems. When the bill went to Congress, it was clear that unless the base of (support for) the program grew, it would not pass. (Recall GCT on expanding the base to insure a bill's passage often waters down its original intentions, or, dissipates them.) A then leading senator, Senator Edward Muskie (D-Maine) said he would only vote for the bill if cities such as Augusta, Bangor and Portland were made eligible for aid. The bill passed in 1966 and even small cities like Poughkeepsie were not only eligible, but received money as well for public housing projects. By most people's sights, the program utterly failed to reduce the existence of slums anywhere. No one now knows whether the original intentions might have led to a greater chance for program success. Instead of massive funding for a few projects, t ...

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Lobbying tutorial
- 1. This slide tutorial is a mobile-compatible version of lesson available at: http://my-ecoach.com/project.php?id=17421
- 2. Introduction In this module you will learn how to use authoritative open-access resources to find information about lobbying and campaign finance. By the end of the module, you will be able to address the following essential questions: How does lobbying impact the development of public policy in the United States? Should the current model be changed? Scenario: You are an analyst for the Congressional Research Service (CRS). Your team has been asked by the House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform to investigate the effects of lobbying on the development of public policy in the United States and make recommendations about potential changes to the current model. Contents & Tasks: Lobbying Basics Campaign Finance Literature Review Analysis
- 3. OpenSecrets.org Select "Issues & Lobbying" tab Select "Lobbying" and then "Issues" in left navigation bar Select an Issue from the list Scroll down to see a list of Clients who have lobbied on that issue; select a Client Find the Client’s "Total Lobbying Expenditures" and note that figure Select the "Bills" tab to find the bills lobbied on that Client’s behalf OpenSecrets is a project of the Center for Responsive Politics. Most of the data in OpenSecrets has been obtained from an official government source such as the Federal Election Commission or the Senate Office of Public Records. We will be using OpenSecrets to find information about lobbying, so go ahead and open up their site in a new tab or window.
- 4. OpenSecrets Exercise Choose an issue that interests you (ex: environment, education, etc.) then answer the following questions: Who are some of the top clients that lobby bills on that issue? Choose one of the clients; how much were their lobbying expenditures last year? Review some of the recent bills on which the client has lobbied; is there a trend? Record your findings as a voicethread (http://voicethread.com/) Invite your team members to view and comment on your voicethread report
- 5. Campaign Finance What does lobbying have to do with campaign financing? Most campaign donations are not contributed directly by lobbyists; the majority of donations are contributed by individual "large" donors and Political Action Committees (PACs). Although this money is not coming from lobbyists, lobbyists do represent the interests of their clients, who are generally composed of large individual donors and PACs. The following video provides a background on current campaign finance law in the United States and a brief history on how it was developed.
- 6. MapLight.org Select the "Interest Groups" tab Select an Industry from the list Select the "Bills Supported & Opposed" tab Select a Bill from the list Review the "Contributions by Vote" data Select the "$ Near Votes" tab; this displays a breakdown of contributions made to individual legislators within 30 days of voting on the bill Select the "Timeline by Contribution" tab to see how contribution amounts vary during the months leading up to the vote on the bill We know that lobbyist’s clients donate largely to political campaigns. But, do campaign donations influence the decisions of policymakers? MapLight.org is a non-profit, non-partisan research organization that compiles data on campaign financing from sources such as OpenSecrets and couples that data with voting records from sources such as GovTrack.us and independent research. We will be using MapLight.org to investigate campaign finance, so go ahead and open up their site in a new window or tab.
- 7. MapLight Exercise Review the "Contributions by Vote" data for several bills across industries then answer the following questions: Do contributions seem to be predictive of how a legislator will vote? Do contribution levels change during the period of time leading to a vote? Record your findings as a voicethread (http://voicethread.com/) Invite your team members to view and comment on your voicethread report
- 8. Literature Review Now that you have compiled some data by consulting primary sources, you will need to consult secondary sources (ie. books, journal articles, etc.) to explore the findings and analysis of other scholars and researchers. Find Books: To find books about lobbying, search the UCSC library’s online catalog Cruzcat: http://cruzcat.ucsc.edu/ Keywords: lobbying, power, influence, politics Subject: Lobbying--United States Find Journal Articles: To find journal articles about lobbying, try searching in the following article databases: Academic Search Complete Political Science: Sage Full-Text Collection Lexis NexisCongressional Tips for searching: Before accessing any database, log in to Off-Campus Access Use the term "lobb*" to capture lobbyist, lobbies, lobbying, etc. Other keywords: policy, reform, power, influence
- 9. Share Your Resources Once you have found several quality resources, share them with you team using diigo. One team member will need to create a diigo group for your team Each team member will add their list of resources to the group's knowledge repository (be sure to include a full citation and URL for each resource) Read at least 4 of the resources from the knowledge repository
- 10. Write Your Analysis Now that you’ve had time to look over the data and think about lobbying, you and your team should assemble your ideas and then write a letter to your representative expressing your views. Remember to address the questions: How does lobbying impact the development of public policy in the United States? Should the current model be changed? These sites might be helpful for group collaboration: http://typewith.me/ http://docs.google.com/ http://pbworks.com/
- 11. Post Your Analysis The site Congress.org allows users to discuss all things legislative. Users can also share letters that they have written to their representatives so that other users can send the letter to their respective representatives. Upload your analysis in the form of a letter at Congress.org (and while you’re there, send it to your representative if you like). Congress.org "Soapbox" tutorial: Register for a free account at Congress.org Select "Get on Your Soapbox" Select "Create a Soapbox Message Here" Fill out the webform and insert your letter into the Soapbox content box
- 12. Additional Resources Guides for researching legislative histories: Federal Legislative Histories using UCSC Library resources California Legislative Histories using UCSC Library resources Find articles related to politics, policy, etc.: UCSC Library Politics Subject Guide Find government information resources: UCSC Government Publications & Law
