Public Administration Assignment 3-4 pages, double-spaced, 12-point font. Make sure you have a paper title and that you attend to the basics of good composition, including attention to organization and grammar. (If you have any questions about this, let’s talk.) Your assignment is to evaluate a government agency. How well is it doing its job? There are a few things to do here: 1.?Describe your agency. Questions to consider: What is it? What does it do? What is the budget, size, mission and history of the agency? How has its mission changed over the years? 2.?Get the inside scoop on your agency. Who has power in your agency? What is the political and civil service leadership like? What outside groups and institutions matter to your agency? What are the tensions and problems that your agency confronts? Are its problems political (difficult relationships with constituents, interest groups and the elected-official leadership) administrative (an unclear mission, or a mission that is contradictory) or existential (namely, that the task it confronts is very difficult to manage). 3.?Evaluate your agency according to criteria you believe to be important. Is the agency effective and efficient? Is it responsive to the groups it is intended to serve? It is accountable to the public, elected officials, and its own executive leadership? Does the public view the work of the agency as legitimate? Are its employees professionally competent? What steps do you think need to be taken to improve agency performance? Picking your agency You can examine an agency at any level of government, federal state and local. I will even consider a not-for-profit agency if your heart is set on it. The key is finding the right size (or level of analysis) for your examination. You don’t want something so big that you can’t get a handle on it in a short paper or something so small that you can’t find the information you need to do a nice job. A rule of thumb is, a department is too big, an agency within a department is probably just right. Step #1: Browse the agencies and find something you like. Step #2: Start reading official reports and documents on the website. As a first step, find the agency’s mission statement (or equivalent) budget, and other key documents that we will talk about in class. Step #3: Check for newspaper accounts about the agency. Agencies usually pop up in the news when there is a crisis or problem. Step #4: Check the academic literature on the agency. It is very unlikely that you will find coverage of your specific agency there, but you very well might find information about the general category of agencies that may be useful (for example, “Departments of Motor Vehicles”) or some topic that may fit your case (for example, “public corruption at state agencies” or “leadership failure in the federal service.”) Step #5: Put theories or concepts we’ve developed in class in play. Step #6: Outline your report, write it up, go back and do some more research, re-outline, etc. Step #7: Prepare a short slide presentation of no more than 4 slides to assist you with your five minute presentations. SO I ALSO HAVE TO CREATE 4 slides for 5 minute presentation. Power point slides also needs to be done. Also the text what should i talk about in the slide. I need the speech as well!!!

Hi I need an essay about US foreign politics related to current events and ideally also factoring in the current election and how that’ll affect US foreign policy Write an essay of analysis and opinion concerning any topic we have covered in the course I encourage you to pick a topic that you are interested in. I think of this course as mainly a foreign policy course, but since this was such a historic year in U.S. domestic politics, we have had a fairly significant amount concerning the presidential election. So you can choose to write either about a foreign issue or about a domestic U.S. issue. I also encourage you to pick something that has some relationship to current events or to what may happen in the future, but it is also OK to do some kind of an historical analysis talking just about the past. For example, if you choose to write about Afghanistan, the most obvious thing to do would be to tie it in some way to current events and what may happen next year – in other words, the peace talks with the Taliban and the partial or perhaps almost complete withdrawal of U.S. troops. But it would also be completely OK to write the entire essay as an analysis of the Soviet war in Afghanistan, or to write the entire essay as an analysis of the events that led to the Taliban taking power in Afghanistan. Similarly, if you choose to write about Israel and Middle East issues, the most obvious thing to do might be to tie your essay to President Trump’s recent diplomatic successes in the region, with improving relations between some Arab states and Israel. But it would also be OK to write an entirely historical essay about Israel and the Palestinians, or about some aspect of their relationship and history. It would be OK to write about the collapse of the Soviet Union, or the collapse of the entire Soviet bloc, and it also would be OK to write about current and future U.S.-Russia relations. It would be OK to do kind of a profile and assessment of Mikhail Gorbachev. It would also be OK to write not about a particular event or relationship so much as about one of the general themes in the textbook. There are a great many other possibilities too.
