Politics of Policymaking: Comparative Perspectives: The Gaza Strip Conflict

1. Define your client: You will be writing as a top policy adviser to a key decision-maker: (i) Primer Minister Netanyahu, (ii) President Abbas, or (iii) United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon.

2. Spell out what the “problem” is (for your client) in Gaza three weeks into the ceasefire. You should consider issues that arise from the context, history, contents or future threats to the ceasefire. Think strategically. Please try to use one or more of the tools presented in Week 3 Lecture (i) problem trees, (ii) boundaries analysis, (iii) gaps analysis, (iv) feasibility analysis and/or (v) Allison’s Models I, II & III. If needed, feel free to annex a graph/table/map.

3. Your options, recommendations and next steps should flow easily from your problem definition. Remember, for this assignment problem definition is critical. Don’t get theoretical. It’s fine to cite studies, reports and statistics, but don’t confuse this with an academic paper.
