This course provides students with an array of analytical tools and concepts used in strategic analysis with applicability to various fields and disciplines where decision making with ?less than perfect? information is involved. The course begins by exploring the nature of human thought processes, why we think the way we do, and the many analytical, perceptual, and cognitive errors that plague our efforts to conduct sound, dispassionate analysis. The course then moves into a discussion of the various analytical tools that are available to the analyst, with practical exercises available for the student. Although the textbooks selected for this course are from the analytical fields, the tools presented are universal in their applicability. The major project within the course demonstrates the applicability of these techniques to analysis, which is accomplished through student performance of a major research paper on a contemporary scenario. |

The course begins with a historical analysis of the gendering of American politics and addresses the cultural changes in women?s lives, the forces behind those changes and their reflection in public policies in education, health care, reproductive rights, employment, the economy, family law, childcare, and criminal justice. The course will review the history of women's political participation and the challenges and opportunities for women as candidates and officeholders. The course concludes with an international perspective on gender considering the effects of global processes and international relations on the division of power between women and men. |
