I actually think about water a lot. =) This might be weird, but every time I go to the public bathrooms and see the tab water running (not closed properly), I get the urge to go after the person who left it running and tell the person that we don't have infinite amounts of water!! And then I think about those in developing countries with no water... We should ALL be thankful that we have access to clean water! I wish I knew more about this; maybe I should change my final research paper topic to water policy...Hmm...) This is an awesome post, although it was posted a while ago…

Before, I used to only complain about our health policy, transit, etc., without knowing what really lies behind policy making, BUT now I understand that it is not as simple as I thought it would be... (So, even though I still complain, I complain with reason)! You really have to TAKE this course to know what you can gain from this course; I can't describe it all in words. I recommend it to ALL students, even those not in Poli Sci! Also, the time and energy Professor Pacheco-Vega takes out of his busy schedule to answer all our emails, twits, and to bring guest lecturers is VERY MUCH appreciated!! =) I learned SOOOO much from Poli 350A!

As I read this, it boils down to the study of relationships in a way that no one else, or very few people, have the capacity to do. It's not work that everyone gets because it's so inter-disciplinary, but those that get it appreciate it. Awesome, Raul.

The thing about cooperation between agents connects what otherwise might look like a very diverse research agenda into something much more coherent. You have particular empirical interests right now (water, especially) but you have successfully identified the core that would remain even if that particular focus qhanged.
