Case Study on Governance
This week we are looking for—and analyzing—governance via the case study method again.
Important reminder I have shared previously but sometimes there is still some confusion. A case study is not a political article or opinion paper of someone else, an advocacy group, or even your opinions. Nor is a case study an analysis of one of the current or previous assigned references (e.g., Jefferson article).
Look for case studies that are real life examples and situations that examine and discuss the policy formation, development, and implementation processes. What was the problem faced by the organization? Who were the stakeholders? What strategy, process, or methodology was used to engage the issue? What was the result? How did the process of governance actually work? What was the impact on citizenry?
Apply: Submit your discussion post with the following critical components.
• Apply concepts related to governance in a specific, researched public administration case study. The actual case study must focus on a real-world public administration situation that is being discussed and analyzed in the chosen article.
• The article research methods can be qualitative or quantitative in nature, but it must specifically focus on the public administration context.
• Remember to synthesize your research and findings with the required readings and presentations for this week and a Biblical/covenantal model of statesmanship, leadership and organizational behavior
Here are my recommendations for this assignment:
Asks/Assignment: Seek out a (preferably peer-reviewed academic journal) article that analyzes a real-world public administration governance situation being discussed and assessed in the chosen article. Introduce the topic to the professor and student colleagues and share what you learned from that case example in a robust discussion board post briefing the professor and the class on the governance challenges inherent within your selected case study topic.
Post—and please use these section headings to help readers track with your thinking:
• Definition: What is “governance”? Please share your definition of governance.
• Section 1: Present the citation and summarize what happened in your selected case study—i.e., what the rest of us need to know so we will understand the case study and your analysis—who did what, how, when, what results…
• Section 2: Present and assess the governance challenge inherent in the case study. Did the person act in accordance with your definition of governance? Ethically? Evidencing statesmanship?
• Section 3: What could have been done differently to maximize results? What would you have done to improve the outcomes of the case study?

React to the videos (saved as Scripts) and readings (Reading 1 can be found at: https://beyondintractability.org/essay/framing . Reading 2 will be attached as “Source2”) with any questions or key insights about framing. If you are working on a particular issue (DEI is my issue but it it’s okay if you ignore this part), you can talk about how you might frame that issue or even develop some basic drafts using one or more of the different types. Then look over at least three different examples of frames from the Examples folder Links to an external site (Three examples will be posted as PDFs) Try to look at some different styles; at least one CPD (Center for Public Deliberation) and one non-CPD. Write about what you liked, didn’t like, or had questions about in the examples. (This is broad likes, dislikes, and questions but must pertain to the topic of framing. Please rely on sources) ***Please open all attached files as it will be noticable if they were not read*** Thank you!

RESEARCH PAPER: JOURNAL ARTICLE REVIEW ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
The most important channel for academic research is the peer-reviewed journal article. In a peer-reviewed journal article, a scholar will: 1) propose a research question; 2) demonstrate the importance of this research question through analysis of relevant literature; 3) introduce a study that will explore the research question; 4) detail and analyze the results of that study; 5) draw conclusions from that study.
INSTRUCTIONS
In this assignment you will submit a review and evaluation of a single article, relevant to the topic of Immigration, that has been published in the past five years in a peer-reviewed journal. In this Journal Article Review you will:
• Identify the research question or central thesis of the article;
• Explain the method used to support the claims of the article
o State whether the method is quantitative or qualitative and give a brief
explanation of the methodological approach.
o State what data is collected. (For example: Is it a public opinion poll? An analysis
of historical budget data? A forecast of future COVID infections? An explanation
of congressional voting patterns by ideology?)
• Explain and evaluate the conclusions drawn from the study
o Assess whether the conclusions drawn by the article’s authors seem sound based
on the data they present.
o Identify any weaknesses or oversights of the article.
