Please upload your city papers here. based on the learning objective of Applying models and themes from the course to a specific case study of an American city, as well as the syllabus parameters, which are listed below as a final refresher:
You will select a U.S. city for a case study. Find a public policy/political problem related to themes from this class.
Explain the problem.
Cite the origins of the problem, why it is a problem, why the problem is contested, and if there seems to be a solution to the problem.
Situate the problem in themes we covered in the course: the organization of politics in cities, federalism, race and ethnic tensions, economic concerns, forces from outside the city.
What is distinctive about your city? Why might your city be better able to handle the problem or less able to handle the problem than other city governments?
Can you draw broader conclusions the city under study? If the case runs contrary to other themes that you find out about your city (an exception to a rule) then that can serve as the basis of a thesis as well.
Final papers are expected to be 6-10 pages (double-spaced, regular sized font). Title page and references do not count toward page count.
If the syllabus description starts dragging down your momentum, just write in a clear, lucid style and reasonably support your ideas and statements, like good old term paper wisdom 🙂
