Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy and Administration from 1961 to 2021. The focus is on the school’s accomplishments over its first sixty years, how they were achieved, and why they are significant. The analysis describes the challenges and opportunities that shaped the school’s development and its emergence as one of the nation’s leading public affairs schools. What began in 1961 as an experimental program supported by a single external grant emerged six decades later as one of the nation’s leading comprehensive schools of public affairs. That transformation unfolded during one of the most dynamic periods in the history of higher education when the public purpose of universities was expanded. The history of the Biden School is a story of institutional innovation, perseverance, adaptation, and resilience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments                                        000\u003cbr\u003e Biden School Timeline                                    000\u003cbr\u003e Introduction                                          000\u003cbr\u003e PART I    CREATING THE DELAWARE MODEL (1961-1996)            \u003cbr\u003e Chapter One        The Division of Urban Affairs                    000\u003cbr\u003e     Chapter Two        The College of Urban Affairs and Public Policy        000\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Three        Policy Partnerships and The Delaware Model            000\u003cbr\u003e PART II    BECOMING A COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL (1997-2014)                \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Four        The School of Urban Affairs and Public Policy            000\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Five        The School of Public Policy and Administration            000\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Six        Shaping Public Policy                        000\u003cbr\u003e PART III    PURSUING A NEW VISION (2015-2021)                    \u003cbr\u003e Chapter Seven        Rising Expectations                        000\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Eight        The Biden School                        000\u003cbr\u003e Chapter Nine        Legacies and Possibilities                    000\u003cbr\u003e Selected Bibliography                                    000\u003cbr\u003e Index                                            000\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"University of Delaware Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49411062563159,"sku":"9781644532966","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781644532966.jpg?v=1730512279","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-biden-school-and-the-engaged-university-of-delaware-1961-2021-9781644532966","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
