Washington, D.C. is the confluence of influence and policymaking. So how does it work? We will explore how things get done, and not done, in Washington. We will discuss all the players — political operatives, policymakers, influencers, powerbrokers, political parties, advocacy groups (and even the bit actors) that all play a part in the business of Washington, D.C.
AUDIENCE: These conversations are open to members of the Harvard community. Please RSVP with a valid Harvard email address.
OFF-THE-RECORD: In keeping with our long tradition at the IOP to ensure honest and candid discussions of politics, all IOP study groups are off-the-record.
