Retrieved from 1 MPA 5850 Policy Analysis: Guidelines for Policy Brief You should write your policy brief in four parts (clearly labeled as Part 1, Part 2, etc.) and pay attention to the contents of each area. The four parts are worth 10 points each (total 40 points). You should write the brief in a systematic, step-by-step matter, and pay attention to what should be included in each section. Do not assume a solution until you evaluate each alternative. Your total brief should not exceed 10 pages double-spaced with one-inch margins, not including your executive summary, references, or appendices, such as additional graphics. You should label each part, so that I know when you are transitioning to the next part of the brief. Selecting a topic: If you are struggling to find a topic, then I suggest (but you are not required) that you select a topic from one of the “fact†sheets from the Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution. For example, here is a link to one sample, but there are many fact sheets on various topics You should use these fact sheets to craft a problem statement for your particular topic being sure not to phrase your problem statement in terms of a proposed solution. Even if you select a topic outside of the Hamilton Project, it is still a good idea to browse this website to see how issues are framed. Your brief is due the Wednesday after the conclusion of the course at 11:55PM. A full grade penalty will be assessed for late briefs received by Thursday at 11:55PM. No briefs will be accepted after that date. Part 1 Part 1 should include the following elements: ï‚· Problem statement ï‚· Current policy context ï‚· Stakeholders Problem statement. Your brief should contain a clear statement of the public problem you plan to address. Be careful not to phrase your problem statement in terms of a proposed solution. Current policy context. Defining the current policy context includes the policy agenda and current policy. Describe recent events that place the problem on the policy agenda. State the current policy in terms of existing laws, institutions, and budgets relevant to the problem. Stakeholder analysis. Describe the primary stakeholders whose perspectives should be considered in analysis of the problem. Explain how they are affected by the problem. Compare and contrast how different stakeholders have defined the problem, including their perspectives on the cause of the problem. Specify stakeholder groups with enough detail to be useful. For example, “small- business owners†or “the governor who is up for re-election,†not “everyone†or “politicians.†Sources Cite at least five sources to support your analysis. Three of these sources must be from books, peer-reviewed articles, or reputable think-tanks. Wikipedia is never an acceptable source. Make sure to use APA citation style. 2 Limitations.
