Global Issue Policy Analysis

Policy analysis is a formal process in which the analyst assesses policy options aimed at solving an existing problem.

You will rely heavily on a recognized model of policy analysis described in Chapter 9, “Policy Analysis,” from Teaching Research Methods in Public Administration. Before you start, review this chapter and the instructions below, so you can choose a global challenge that fits the requirements of the assignment.
