PA 569 Fish and Wildlife Policy and Administration

Reviews the history, politics, and institutions related to fish and wildlife policy and administration. Focuses on how policy affecting fish and wildlife is made and implemented. Case studies, largely from the northwestern United States, are used to examine these processes. Policy history is studied at the state and federal level with particular attention to the federalization of authority in this arena and the role of interest groups in policymaking and implementation. Current issues like endangered species, the role of tribes, bio-diversity conservation, and inter-jurisdictional management of fish and wildlife are the focus of study.
