Presidential Power Theories and Dilemmas

Presidential Power Theories and Dilemmas

Presidential power is perhaps one of the most central issues in the study of the American presidency. Since Richard E. Neustadt's classic study first published in 1960 there has not been a book that thoroughly examines the issue of presidential power. Presidential Power: Theories and Dilemmas by noted scholar John P. Burke provides an updated and comprehensive look at the issues constraints and exercise of presidential power. This book considers the enduring question of how presidents can effectively exercise power within our system of shared powers by examining major tools and theories of presidential power including Neustadt's theory of persuasion and bargaining as power constitutional and inherent powers Samuel Kernell's theory of going public models of historical time and the notion of internal time. Using illustrative examples from historical and contemporary presidencies Burke helps students and scholars better understand how presidents can manage the public's expectations navigate presidential-congressional relations and exercise influence in order to achieve their policy goals. | Presidential Power Theories and Dilemmas

Femininity and the Physically Active Woman

Femininity and the Physically Active Woman

The fitness boom of the last two decades has led to many people incorporating exercise into their lifestyles through activities such as jogging and aerobics. However whilst many physical and psychological health benefits have been documented far too few people actually take part in enough exercise to glean significant improvements and this is much more a problem for women than men. Femininity and the Physically Active Woman explores one reason many women offer for their lack of involvement in sport and exercise - that they are not the 'sporty' type. Precilla Y. L. Choi argues that the 'sporty' type is masculine and to determine how this notion might affect women's self-perceptions she critically examines the experiences of women athletes bodybuilders recreational exercisers and girls' physical education. What emerges is the importance of visible differences between women and men in terms of muscularity strength and agility in order to maintain the gender order. Thus if a girl or woman wishes to play the masculine game of sport she must do so in conformity with a number of patriarchal rules which ensure she is first and foremost recognised as a heterosexual feminine being. Contributing to a psychology of the physically active woman by examining women's experiences from critical feminist and gendered perspectives Femininity and the Physically Active Woman will be of great interest to students researchers practitioners and teachers from a range of disciplines. Precilla Y. L. Choi is the British Association for the Advancement of Science's Joseph Lister Lecturer for 2000. She has co-edited with Paula Nicolson Female Sexuality (Prentice Hall).

Religious Pluralism and Political Stability Obligations in Agreement

Religious Pluralism and Political Stability Obligations in Agreement

This book argues that the principles and institutions of political liberalism are necessary conditions for achieving reliable stability amid conditions of pluralism. Only a political system of this sort can bring citizens’ moral religious and political loyalties into robust agreement. Through an analysis that encompasses normative political theory and American constitutional law David Golemboski illustrates the implications of this conclusion by examining contemporary legal debates in law and religion. By developing a fresh perspective on how legal frameworks for religious exercise and establishment can ameliorate conflict and enhance the stability of a liberal constitution this book demonstrates that political systems need not subordinate or sacrifice important liberal priorities in favor of stability. Rather those liberal priorities are themselves necessary components of a stable order. Religious Pluralism and Political Stability will be of interest to scholars across the fields of political philosophy legal theory and constitutional law who have an interest in religion. | Religious Pluralism and Political Stability Obligations in Agreement

Futures of the Human Subject Technical Mediation Foucault and Science Fiction

Futures of the Human Subject Technical Mediation Foucault and Science Fiction

Futures of the Human Subject focuses on the representation of the effects of technology use on human subjectivity in several recent near-future science fiction novels. Sharing the idea that human subjects are constructed in the world in which they exist this volume inscribes itself in the wider field of posthumanism which contests the liberal humanist notion of people as self-contained autonomous agents. At the same time it is the first substantial study of literary representations of the human subject carried out within the conceptual framework of Foucault-inflected philosophy of technical mediation which examines the nature of the relation between people and specific technologies as well as the way in which this relation affects human subjectivity. As such the book may help readers to exercise more effective control over the way in which they are constituted as subjects in this technologically saturated world. | Futures of the Human Subject Technical Mediation Foucault and Science Fiction

Place Policy and Politics Do Localities Matter?

Place Policy and Politics Do Localities Matter?

The past ten years have seen local government in the UK facing two major challenges: to survive in the face of Thatcher government hostility and to adapt to enormously powerful forces of economic restructuring which have also been encouraged by government policies. The key aspects of these changing fortunes of British towns explored in this important new book is the ability of individual localities to exercise any control over their own growth and decline. Place Policy and Politics examines local political initiatives seeking to influence economic and social development in seven sharply contrasting localities ranging from the outer council estates of Merseyside to the boom towns of Cheltenham and Swindon. Throughout their analysis the contributors drawn from a wide range of social science disciplines address the vital questions in the debate over local policy initiatives including: To what extent are localities able to harness trends in the national and international economy to provide jobs and a better standard of living for their inhabitants? Why do local authorities vary in their capacity to initiate economic policy? To what extent do national urban and other policies inhibit or encourage their efforts? How might central government modify its policies to facilitate the prospering of localities? | Place Policy and Politics Do Localities Matter?

Neighborhood Futures Citizen Rights and Local Control

Neighborhood Futures Citizen Rights and Local Control

Two conflicting developments have recently characterized civic life in the United States. The first the centralization of formal agencies of government too often leads to diminishing political liberties and tyranny. The second which is characterized by a greater amount of civic participation and individual self-actualization is the formation of a whole new layer of sublocal institutions both public and private. These include residential community and condominium associations; property owner-based business improvement districts in nearly all major cities; neighborhood improvement districts in large cities; and even self-governing public schools. Neighborhood Futures is a realistic exploration of how for a society to move forward and improve its citizens must exercise the power to act creatively and feel they are both competent and responsible individuals. Supporting his ideas with the Dutch innovation of the woonerf or neighborhood street government Liebmann follows through by discussing other foreign models of civic life forms and illustrating how they have resulted in resident satisfaction. George W. Liebmann is a partner of Liebmann & Shively P. A. a Baltimore law firm that specializes in local government and education law. In addition to having served as a top aide to one of Maryland's governors he is a former faculty associate of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and is the author of Little Platoons and The Gallows in the Grove. | Neighborhood Futures Citizen Rights and Local Control

Cost-benefit Analysis With Reference to Environment and Ecology

Cost-benefit Analysis With Reference to Environment and Ecology

The world is increasingly concerned with bridging the developmental gap between the developed and developing countries. With the establishment of a number of institutions for funding the projects including the World Bank Asian Development Bank and many other agencies the need to develop mechanisms to assess economically viable projects is more important than ever. The Social-Cost Benefit Analysis (SCBA) is an important technique used in formulating appraising and evaluating projects. It is a facet of applied welfare economics which is increasingly being used to identify and assess public projects in both developing and developed countries. This volume presents a comprehensive view of cost-benefit analysis in its theoretical and applied dimensions. Both theory and case studies are presented. The theoretical setting for Cost-Benefit Analysis is established by the first five chapters-Spatial General Equilibrium and Cost-Benefit Analysis by David M. Newbery; Optimum Growth Theory and Social Time Preference: A Computerized Mathematical Modeling Exercise to Choose a Social Discount Rate by Sardar M. N. Islam; A Theoretical Inquiry of the Axiomatic Consistency of Distributional Weights used in Cost-Benefit Analysis by Giuseppe Munda; The Output Gap: Measurement Related Concepts and Policy Implications by Parameswar Nandakumar; and A Methodological Comparison of Theoretical Approaches in Dichotomous Choice Contingent Valuation by John C. Whitehead. This book will be useful as a reference text by professors and students in project appraisal classes and will be of equal value to analysts planners and interested general readers. | Cost-benefit Analysis With Reference to Environment and Ecology
