Overview
The final paper should be between 10-12 pages excluding the reference section. Please use 12-point font with the appropriate margins. A good way to make sure you do not miss any of the requirements listed below is to use sub-titles to guide you through the paper.
Students are being asked to research, write, and present your findings about a specific policy of your choosing, which has later re-entered the agenda and the policy formation process. This would be the Clean Air Act of 1963, which underwent the process of revisions and re-formation in 1970.
Each student will need to describe what their original policy entailed and what and why changes were considered and actually made years later.

- You are able to conceptualize and specifically identify public policy issues discussed in class and in the readings
- You have identified the actors/players and their interests both within and outside government leading up to the initial policy adoption.

- What does each view as potential policy solution(s) based on their beliefs and values?
- What kind of indicators, persuasion or evidence did the players use to push their positions and frame the problem and/or solution?
