Course Introduction
This course examines the impact of advocacy on political leaders, staff,
and other
stakeholders responsible for shaping and managing international policy,
global
crisis, and conflict. The course uses case study examples of advocacy in
four real
world situations. Each case will consist of two parts:
1. Discussion of an issue, policy, or event based on assigned reading(s);
2. An interactive group session with a policymaker, staff member, or other
principal stakeholder who played a significant role or who has specific
expertise or who played in the subject of the case study


CLASS #3 – January 28 – Strange Bedfellows: The Coalition That
Secured the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)
Themes:
o Coalition building, leadership, and management;
o Consensus building and pragmatism;
o Negotiation, compromise and policy consequences
We will focus on the unlikely alliance of policymakers, NGOs, and other
stakeholders that came together to design and pass PEPFAR. We will examine
the advocacy that led to this alliance and the policies that were shaped by
alliance
leaders and policymakers who worked to accommodate diverse perspectives.
