Agendas and Instability in American Politics, Second Edition

Agendas and Instability in American Politics, Second Edition

Frank R. Baumgartner; Bryan D. Jones

University of Chicago Press
2009
sidottu
When "Agendas and Instability in American Politics" appeared fifteen years ago, offering a profoundly original account of how policy issues rise and fall on the national agenda, the "Journal of Politics" predicted that it would 'become a landmark study of public policy making and American politics'. That prediction proved true, and in this long-awaited second edition, Frank R. Baumgartner and Bryan D. Jones refine their influential argument and expand it to illuminate the workings of democracies beyond the United States. The authors retain all the substance of their contention that short-term, single-issue analysis cast public policy too narrowly as the result of cozy and dependable arrangements among politicians, interest groups, and the media. Baumgartner and Jones provide a different interpretation by taking the long view of several issues - including nuclear energy, urban affairs, smoking, and auto safety - to demonstrate that bursts of rapid, unpredictable policy change punctuate the patterns of stability more frequently associated with government. Featuring a new introduction and two additional chapters, this updated edition ensures that their findings will remain a touchstone of policy studies for many years to come.

The Politics of Information

The Politics of Information

Frank R. Baumgartner; Bryan D. Jones

University of Chicago Press
2015
sidottu
How does the government decide what's a problem and what isn't? Like individuals, Congress is subject to the "paradox of search." If policy makers don't look for problems, they won't find those that need to be addressed. But if they carry out a thorough search, they will almost certainly find new problems-and with the definition of each new problem comes the possibility of creating a program to address it. With The Politics of Attention, leading policy scholars Frank R. Baumgartner and Bryan D. Jones demonstrated the central role attention plays in how governments prioritize problems. Now, with The Politics of Information, they turn the focus to the problem-detection process itself, showing how the growth or contraction of government is closely related to how it searches for information and how, as an organization, it analyzes its findings. Better search processes that incorporate more diverse viewpoints lead to more intensive policy-making activity. Similarly, limiting search processes leads to declines in policy-making. At the same time, the authors find little evidence that the factors usually thought to be responsible for government expansion - partisan control, changes in presidential leadership, and shifts in public opinion - can be systematically related to the patterns they observe.

Dreaming of What Might Be

Dreaming of What Might Be

Gregory S. Kealey; Bryan D. Palmer

Cambridge University Press
2004
pokkari
As Canada's most industrialised province, Ontario served as the regional centre of the Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor, an organisation which embodied a late nineteenth-century working-class vision of an alternative to the developing industrial-capitalist society. The Order opposed the exploitation of labor, and cultivated working-class unity by providing an institutional and cultural rallying point for North American workers. By 1886 thousands of industrial workers had enrolled within the ranks of Ontario's local and district assemblies. This book examines the rise and fall of the Order, providing case studies of its experience in Toronto and Hamilton and chronicling its impact across the province.

The authors of this work contend that it is essential for all important actors in an urban community to join together in a shared vision of what is wrong in their schools and how to fix it, and to pursue that vision strongly and systematically over a long time.

The Boone-Bryan History

The Boone-Bryan History

J D Bryan

Pantianos Classics
1913
pokkari
This historical account concerns the deeds of the most notable members of the Boone and Bryan families, who trace their lineage back to the Medieval-era, later becoming distinguished colonists of New England.The most notable person in this history is Daniel Boone, an explorer who led expeditions westward into Kentucky, founding the first colonial settlement there. He would later serve in the military in the American War of Independence. Rather than focus on Daniel's deeds and achievements, this account seeks to establish the family tree of both the Boone and Bryan families. The lives of various relations, their place of living, and the trades which they practiced, are listed.We learn that the two families' history is shared even going back to the Middle Ages, both clans being Irish with lineages stretching back into the Medieval era of the kings. A history of the Bryans who lived in these far-gone times is also told, showing us how the name was passed down until the time of the migrations to North America commenced in the 17th century.

The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, finds itself on many Top Ten lists. It's a great place to live, work, and play. A small city, it contains a major seaport and cruise terminal, a bustling international airport, a fabulous beach, a world-class yacht center, an inviting riverfront, a dynamic business community, plus an array of cultural and entertainment options. In Tom Bryan and Other Movers and Shapers of Early Fort Lauderdale, author Keith D. Mitzner details the origins, history, and qualities of Fort Lauderdale beginning with the key player Tom Bryan. Tom Bryan touched nearly every aspect of Ft. Lauderdale development, sometimes acting alone, but more often in a group. Ed King was also a trailblazer who built key structures and boats and was active in dredging local waterways. T
