Prince Analysis Steps 1. Identify Necessary Actions 2. Identify Key Players 3. Estimate Position (-5 to +5) 4. Estimate Power (1 to 5) 5. Estimate Priority (1 to 5) 6. Calculate Probabilities 7. Formulate Prince Strategies Ex. 9.1 Ex. 9.2 Ex. 9.3 Ex. 9.4 Chapter 10

Step 1: Describing the Policy to be Implemented Be sure it is a policy and not a goal Is it a federal, state or local policy? Determine if it is a legislative, administrative or financial policy Cannot be a judicial decision

Step 2: Identify Players Government Units in the United States: 3,000 Counties 19,000 municipalities +43,000 special districts 65,000 total government units

How To Select Players Ask players, experts, and stakeholders. Legislatures: They affect how a bill becomes a law at your geographic area Aggregation problems with legislative bodies If not legislative, must be administrative Interest groups can be important especially for new policies Watch out for dogs

New York State Divided into three branches: Executive, Legislative, Judicial Governor Cuomo is the head of the Executive Branch. State Agencies, like the Department of Education and Board of Regents are under the Executive Branch

Onondaga County County government is responsible for implementing and funding legislation enacted by the state and federal government Different departments help to administrate the different duties of the county Examples: Medicaid, Van Duyn Home and Hospital

Step 3:Estimating Issue Position Empirical - quotes Deductive Principles Special Interest Players (4 or 5) Politicians, Legislative Bodies, Government Officials and Some Big Interest Groups are not firm (0-2) Budget cost predispose toward opposition

Step 4: Estimating Power Specific to Issues Players with Veto Power: 4 or 5 Legislatures President, Governors, Mayors, etc. Non-veto-players: 3, 2, or 1 Sources of Power Official Position Money Numbers (voters) Expertise

Step 5: Estimating Priority Single issue player: high on relevant issue Multiple issue player: low to moderate on most issues Changes quickly in either direction Frequency of statements are key

Step 6: Calculating 1. Calculation 1: Issue position X Power X Priority=Prince Score When Issue Position is 0, Power X Priority=(Prince Score) Prince Scores in parenthesis are neutral scores 2. Calculation 2: Sum of all positive scores plus ½ of neutral scores 3. Calculation 3: Sum of all possible scores ignoring signs and parenthesis 4. Calculation 2/Calculation 3=Probability of Support

Don’t Be Hopelessly Naïve No matter how much you love your policy proposal, your forecast from the Prince System should be under 50% WHY?
