POLI 551 - Managing Economic and Community Development(3 credits)
Prerequisite: POLI 501; or consent of instructor and MPA program coordinator
This course introduces students to the many dimensions of economic development at the local and state level, focusing on aspects of how local governments are engaging themselves in this competitive arena. The course explores the following fundamental questions: Who is involved in local economic development? What policies and programs are being pursued and how are they being implemented? What is the impact of local economic development programs? How does local politics influence economic development actions? In addition, the course covers how the external environments (federal policy and national/regional economic cycles, for example) shape the scope and method of economic development at the local level.
