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

The Review Response Genre Structures Language and Functions

Expanding the scope of the metadiscourse construct Ho offers a comprehensive analysis of the online review response genre using hotel managers' responses to negative reviews posted by dissatisfied customers on TripAdvisor. He adopts a robust research methodology that involves both quantitative and qualitative analyses of three different types of data: managerial responses to negative comments questionnaire responses from dissatisfied customers who wrote the reviews and interview responses from hotel managers who wrote the responses. By drawing upon the genre theory and the construct of rapport and metadiscourse the analysis shows that hotel management’s attempts at service recovery can be materialized through the move structures of the managerial responses and the strategies used in managing rapport with dissatisfied customers and in persuading both existing and potential customers to purchase accommodation services from the hotels. An essential reading for students and researchers of pragmatics and professional communication along with anyone interested in the role of language in persuading customers neutralizing criticisms and managing interpersonal relationships particularly in the context of open forums online. | The Review Response Genre Structures Language and Functions

Reviewing before the Edinburgh 1788-1802

Reviewing before the Edinburgh 1788-1802

First published in 1978 Reviewing before the Edinburgh is a study of English literary reviewing during the fifteen years before the founding in 1802 of the Edinburgh Review and an assessment of the reviewers’ achievement. The long introductory chapter describes the aims methods staffing readership influence and development of the five important Reviews of the 1790s: the Monthly Review Critical Review English Review Analytical Review and British Critic. The author argues that this type of Review declined during the 19th century not because of poor performance but because the ambitious aim of comprehensive reviewing had become impossible to achieve. The remaining chapters discuss and evaluate the work of these Reviews chiefly in the fields of poetry fiction and political and religious controversy. The book fills a gap in the literary and political history of the period; provides a compact summary of its review criticism; and gives a better perspective on both reviewers and reviewed in years that were unusually fertile in political controversy and literary experiment. It will be of interest to students of literature and history. | Reviewing before the Edinburgh 1788-1802
