Write a 3-paragraph discussion post in which you discuss the following:
Define political influence.
Explain how important intergovernmental relations are.
Express your opinions on whether political influence and intergovernmental relations are fundamental for public administration.
** Note that , while no specific (right) answer expected, students should provide a logical and well-supported discourse for any of the subpoints listed in point 4.
** Ask the instructor when in doubt.

In your writing, cite the resources you used. This means using in-text citations and a list of references to the best of your abilities.
** Ask the instructor when in doubt.

Within the timeframe of the assignment, post a question, or offer a comment, or provide more information to TWO of your class colleagues.
** You will need to come back to this area more than once to see if anyone in class has also posted something in response to your initial writing.
** Note that just expressing agreement with the posts of class colleagues or indicating that the fellow students did a good job does not meet the assignment’s requirement. Also, a brief comment or only asking questions to a member of the class does not meet the assignment’s requirement.
** Ask the instructor when in doubt.
