PSC 245 - Organized Advocacy in American Politics (3-4 Cr.)


Advocacy is fundamental to our notions of democracy and plays a strong role in our political system. Organized advocates have had a persistent presence in our system
but yet are some of the most understood actors. We treat lobbyists, special interests and PACs with skepticism yet look favorably upon advocates. This course will give
you an understanding of organized advocacy in its many manifestations, exploring theoretical and normative considerations alongside the strategies and practices
employed.  Prerequisite:  . Variable semesters. Kasniunas.
