First, choose a particular federal department and identify who/what the corresponding major organizational players who regularly exert the most significant amount of public policy/programmatic influence on the major programs of your chosen department. Next, critically analyze what you see as the inherent strengths and weaknesses of the most significant collaborative (or antagonistic) public policy-related endeavors between your federal department (as part of the federal government’s Executive Branch), the Legislative and Judicial Branches, the national-level media, and key interest groups over the past five years. Are there specific ‘good news stories’ that should be emphasized or major problem areas in present-day dynamics between your department and these other influential organizational players complicating your department’s ability to serve the common good?
