Here is the example personal statement for MPP

I grew up in Monrovia. People here are resourceful and hardworking, but many live in crushing poverty with little opportunity for upward mobility. Like many rural towns in Liberia, the overwhelming needs of the public are neglected by paradigmatically dysfunctional bureaucracies. So when I was in high school, I thought getting a degree wouldd lift me beyond my humble background. But a strange thing happened while I was doing my undergrad. I found that many people around me, including my professors, were using their education to improve the lives of people living in places like Monrovia.

As a result, education became about empowerment – giving me the language to diagnose social issues. It gave me the understanding to recognize fulcrum points in political hierarchies and the skills to research, propose, and implement strategies for improving social policies. Finally, it gave me the heart and the will to take on the difficult task of making a better life for Liberians in need.

My goal is to become a policy analyst for the government. This position would allow me to promote and implement innovative educational, health, and social welfare policies. I have looked at many schools, but I have found very few that seem as aptly suited to my educational goals as Brown. The course offerings support specialization while allowing room for meaningful electives. Institutions and Policy Making is exactly that kind.

I need to expand my theoretical and practical concepts of social policy and welfare in developing countries. Most impressive to me is the number of faculty who are not just teachers but policy practitioners. For example, Professor John Tyler’s work on returns to education is impressive and shares themes with my thesis research: Economics of Education. In addition, I believe the diverse university culture at Brown will promote my concepts of global culture, practices, and ethics.

A graduate degree is essential to my goal of affecting multiple dimensions of policy in Liberia. I have worked on this goal from the beginning of my undergraduate degree. During my first few semesters, I realized how a shortage of skilled professionals inside public offices had undermined Liberia’s development for a long time. I saw that policy framework serve as ‘paradigms,’ dictating a country’s growth and development rules. I looked for courses that could build on this understanding and help me formulate realistic ideas for improving the status quo.

Courses on policy issues explained how unequal growth patterns in a country could destroy class mobility and quality of life. Economics provided an area of study that brought all these social and political factors together in one implementable philosophy. The more I learned, the more I saw how a small innovation could go a long way in places like Monrovia. I also began to understand that properly implementing this support is key to its success.

I found many others who shared my interests in the Economics department during my undergrad, including Dr. Mishu Pati and Dr. Cmeha Konaya. Both Professors are extremely active in their field, contributing cutting-edge research in trade and education policy, healthcare, and governance. I was immediately impressed with the scope and focus of their ideas. However, only after a few semesters of academic exposure and experience with internships, I realized the most impressive aspect of their work: it was theoretically impressive and implementable.

Working with Dr. Mishu Pati, I discovered my passion and appreciation for research. As a result, I completed three major research projects during my undergraduate degree. Each addressed a unique and important aspect of economic policy across various social influences. First, I studied inefficient pricing mechanisms in the wheat industry that translate into inflated prices. Furthermore, as part of my thesis, I studied economic returns to secondary education, especially regarding the acquired human capital and associated externalities that have a bearing on social well-being. Finally, the most influential and accomplished study allowed me to work with the Trade Development Authority of Liberia (TDAL) to improve export statistics for sanitary and phyto-sanitary handling of citrus fruit. Upon the conclusion of this project, my findings were presented to the officials at TDAL.

After graduation, I started working with Dr. Nakhai Abramozid, an esteemed Public Policy professor in Liberia. As a Research Assistant, I am currently studying livestock micro-insurance, a concept still developing in Liberia that requires the attention of academics and practitioners. Micro-insurance provides low-income families with risk-averse methods to increase their financial independence and fosters growth in their enterprises. Therefore, I was especially excited when I discovered that there are currently only two pilot projects in Liberia.

My RAship analyzes these pilots and advises potential micro-insurance providers and other stakeholders. This experience has allowed me to stay connected with policy practitioners and academics by ensuring continued interaction in the field of Public Policy. It has also put me at the forefront of a developing policy that is beginning to show a lot of promise.

Since I have kept a clear direction and set of goals throughout most of my undergraduate degree, I have been able to do a lot to develop and grow my understanding of public policy, research, and ethics. I have undertaken extra responsibility whenever possible and focused my education on my goals. And yet, imagining all the experiences, classes, and projects I will be able to undertake at Brown University makes me feel like I still have so far to go.

Nevertheless, the holistic skill set developed in the Public Policy program will allow me to pursue my goals. I want to be equipped with a deep understanding of policy analysis, project management, financial management, and technology integration. I wish I had more opportunities to talk with you about the difference Brown would make in my education and the difference my education can make to the underserved people in Liberia.

This is a comprehensive introduction to origins of policy, policy practice and policy analysis. It is written in a manner that is very accessible so that anyone, even without prior policy knowledge, gets sufficient background to understand the history of policy, how it's implemented and how to examine it.

Content Accuracy rating: 5

This is written in a neutral manner and while the Affordable Care Act is the policy that is followed, it is done some in a practical, non-partisan manner. It was a fitting choice for policy because it went through many iterations that could then be analyzed as parts of the policy analysis process.

Relevance/Longevity rating: 5

While the Affordable Care Act is already slightly past its prime, it's a relevant example and will continue to impact many citizens' lives. The historical background and clarity of explaining the policy process will not become outdated. It's all accessible to any level of policy knowledge, making it a useful tool for high school to undergraduate students.

Clarity rating: 5

I can't emphasize enough here that this written in simple, accessible language for learners who may not have any policy background. I'm impressed by the way it builds through the policy background in a meaningful way, taking the reader to a point they can feel comfortable doing analysis. The summary tables are excellent for learning and I will most certainly be incorporating the text as well as these visuals into my coursework.

Consistency rating: 5

The accessible, accurate language that quickly gets the reader the basic information they need to understand the policy process maintains its integrity throughout this resource. The resource sections are also extremely helpful for anyone accessing this information and wanting to build on it further.

Modularity rating: 5

Again, it's structured in a way that's easy to access and that summarizes the learning in addition to providing more resources. It would be quite simple to take each section and turn it into a learning system module.

Organization/Structure/Flow rating: 5

This text takes the reader through the historical background of policy to the ability to conduct present day political awareness and analysis.

Interface rating: 5

Easy to navigate with sections and pages clearly denoted.

Grammatical Errors rating: 5

I did not find any grammatical errors and the language was at a level that new college learners could easily absorb the information.

Cultural Relevance rating: 5

This text is written in a very factual manner and while individual readers may have personal political leanings on its main analysis the Affordable Care Act - it's written in a manner that it neither promotes nor criticizes the policy but follows it progress.

This is a very accessible, accurate and engaging read especially for students new to policy and policy analysis. It may not fit the critical thinking level of upper level courses, but it will be in my toolbox for students who haven't worked in the policy area and those who want a reference text on the history, implementation and examination of policy.

The book is sufficiently comprehensive, and I appreciate that it is more succinct than some other popular texts. Any gaps in information can easily be addressed with secondary readings.

The book covers content neutrally and with minimal detectable bias.

Relevance/Longevity rating: 4

It is up to date for now, but I worry about whether the ACA as a unifying theme of all chapters will retain saliency? Updates will be necessary, which is true of all texts, but the ACA is already waning in terms of popular focus.

The book is very straight forward. At times, the text feels a bit simplistic, but when I think about using it for an introductory undergraduate class, I think its simplicity will appeal to students who are not as familiar with some fundamental concepts. Students better versed in policy studies who take the introductory course could be given supplementary materials to increase depth.

Yes the formatting, terminology, and framework are consistent.

Modularity rating: 4

The organization of the text is not consistent with how I teach the policy cycle, but that is not good or bad, just different. I would have preferred modules that separate problem definition, prioritization, implementation, outcomes, and evaluation into distinct modules. But I will be able to pull subsets of content from throughout the book for each of those.

The book works well as a pdf. I did not see any interactive spaces that might need to link to other materials.

Grammar is solid.

I did not detect anything concerning.

Within the broader content of the political system, public policy comprising several elements aiming at achieving certain interests, goals and objectives is a skilful, comprehensive, enforceable, binding, legitimate, authoritative, deliberate and purposeful framework of and for interaction within which a multiplicity of policy decisions by political office – bearers can be made and various courses of action can be put into operation by public officials in order to realize the predetermined governmental aims and objectives as economically, efficiently and effectively. However, policy is not static as it should be reformulated and adapted continually on the basis of experience, research in the relative field of operation, and changing circumstances and needs; and these are always factors which serve to change the nature and the extent of the activities of public institution. All these aspects constitute the subject – matter of this article.

This paper has as its main objective the critical analysis of certain influential definitions of public policies that exist in the scientific literature of the field. This analysis intends to trace the change in the way public policies are seen, studied and evaluated. The paper in question also investigates the historical context and the process of the birth of public policies, identifying the key factors of a structural, economic, cultural and political nature. The originality of our approach consists in grouping these factors within explanatory paradigms of the emergence of public policies: the structural paradigm, the social control paradigm, the utilitarian paradigm (which includes both economic and social-political pragmatism), the political mobilization paradigm, the humanistic and antioppressive paradigm. We first analyze the metamorphoses of the two concepts: public and policies. Later, we bring together the analysis of the historical evolution of the two respective concepts within the framework of the same approach. The conclusion underlines the fact that public policies are socially constructed. The methods used were from the category of those based on secondary qualitative analysis: bibliographic analysis, conceptual analysis, discourse analysis, processual analysis and hermeneutic analysis.

Public Policy Process

Ruby Tennyson

States function with guidelines, rules, objectives and monitoring. These objectives are usually the intentions of the government and are captured in what is known as public policy. It is an enabler for governance and without governance, order is extinct. Though a lot of people see public policy as solely controlled by politicians, many citizens and groups try to influence public policy through the political process by supporting candidates and political parties. This paper will be addressing three major points, the first being the description of the concept of public policy. This is because a good understanding is required in order to dive into the process of actually developing public policy. Finally, the paper would provide clarity on the classification of public policy.
