8. 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 money
Cannot be a judicial decision

9. 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

10. 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
Note:
Look at 9.2
-explain when to use individuals vs. groups
-National level-aggregate mostly, individuals on exec. Level, or head of depts.
-State level-same as above
-Local Level-There may be lots of individuals on a local level

11. 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

16. Step 3:Estimating Issue Position
Empirical - quotes
Deductive Principles
Special Interest Players (3-5)
Politicians, Legislative Bodies, Government Officials (0-2)
Budget cost predispose toward opposition
Note:
Look at 9.3
-Special interest groups could have negative position i.e. with teen pregnancy, Christian Coalition would have a negative position on distributing condoms in schools, whereas Planned Parenthood would be positive.

17. 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

18. 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

19. Step 6: Calculating
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
Calculation 2: Sum of all positive scores plus ½ of neutral scores
Calculation 3: Sum of all possible scores ignoring signs and parenthesis
Calculation 2/Calculation 3=Probability of Support

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