1. Identify and define the theoretical
framework which best applies to the initial policy discussed in each of
the articles. Include an example or case
discussed in class.
2. Explain how the framework applied to
the initial policies. Then explain how
the policy change in each article represented a change in the applicable
theoretical framework. (You do not have
to discuss the second theoretical framework extensively in this section.)
3. Discuss the pros and cons of how the
different theoretical frameworks impacted the situations in each article and
which approach you prefer and why.

which would describe the law to increase the representation of women on
corporate boards. Include an example or
case discussed in class.
