Using the  Stakeholder Analysis Assignment Template [DOCX] , write a 4–5 page paper in which you: 

1. Select a local, state, or national public policy that is relevant today in the local, regional, or national news

. Examples:

. Local: community or urban growth (examples: results of rezoning, reuse of public structures, closed down school/public buildings that will convert to private business enterprise).

. State: Private land converted to public spaces (examples: airports, road, or highway usage).

. Federal: Gun policy, drug policy, immigration (examples: effects on jobs, background checks, cultural changes in communities).

· Identify how the policy was formulated from a historical standpoint and identify which stakeholders were involved in the process.

· Appraise the position whether the policy creates a benefit for one group (or stakeholder) while other groups experience disadvantages or negative challenges because of public policy implementation.

· Appropriately incorporate at least three quality sources. A quality source can be either grey literature, such as a news article, or scholarly, such as peer-reviewed works. In the case of public administration, government websites are appropriate quality resources.
