Social Security: History and Politics from the New Deal to the Privatization Debate
ISBN: 9780700615223 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Everyone agrees that Social Security's future is in jeopardy--or is it? Long viewed as the "third rail" of American politics, Social Security is a major political issue, and many experts and politicians would like to restructure this program. But too few of us, young and elderly alike, really understand the origins and workings of this popular program. Daniel Beland answers the call for objective information with a short history that provides context and clarity for the current debates. Covering six decades through the beginning of the current century, Beland chronicles how Social...

Ideas and Politics in Social Science
ISBN: 9780199736430 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Writing about ideas, John Maynard Keynes noted that they are "more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else." One would expect, therefore, that political science--a discipline that focuses specifically on the nature of power--would have a healthy respect for the role of ideas. However, for a variety of reasons--not least of which is the influence of rational choice theory, which presumes that individuals are self-maximizing rational actors--this is not the case, and the literature on the topic is fairly thin. As the stellar cast of contributors to this...

The Politics of Policy Change: Welfare, Medicare, and Social Security Reform in the United States
ISBN: 9781589018846 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For generations, debating the expansion or contraction of the American welfare state has produced some of the nation's most heated legislative battles. Attempting social policy reform is both risky and complicated, especially when it involves dealing with powerful vested interests, sharp ideological disagreements, and a nervous public. The Politics of Policy Change compares and contrasts recent developments in three major federal policy areas in the United States: welfare, Medicare, and Social Security. Daniel Beland and Alex Waddan argue that we should pay close attention to...

Nationalism and Social Policy: The Politics of Territorial Solidarity. Daniel Beland, Andre Lecours
ISBN: 9780199546848 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Despite the recent proliferation of literature on nationalism and on social policy, relatively little has been written to analyze the possible interaction between the two. Scholars interested in social citizenship have indirectly dealt with the interaction between national identity and social programs such as the British NHS, but they have seldom examined this connection in reference to nationalism. Specialists of nationalism rarely mention social policy, focusing instead on language, culture, ethnicity, and religion. The main objective of Nationalism and Social Policy is to explore the...

ISBN: 9781447306443 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Social policy scholars and practitioners have long employed concepts such as welfare state and social security but where do these concepts come from and how has their meaning changed over time?

Addressing such questions in a systematic manner, the contributors to this collection analyze the concepts and language used to describe contemporary social policy. Combining detailed chapters on particular countries with broader comparative chapters, the book offers a variety of...

Obamacare Wars: Federalism, State Politics, and the Affordable Care ACT
ISBN: 9780700621910 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Not five minutes after the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law, in March 2010, Virginia's attorney general was suing to stop it. And yet, the ACA rolled out, in infamously bumpy fashion, and rolled on, fought and defended at every turn--despite President Obama's claim, in 2014, that its proponents and opponents could finally "stop fighting old political battles that keep us gridlocked." But not only would the battles not stop, as Obamacare Wars makes acutely clear, they spread from Washington, DC, to a variety of new arenas. The first thorough account of the implementation of...

Ideas, Political Power, and Public Policy
ISBN: 9781138699007 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Through the last couple of decades, scholars on both sides of the Atlantic have increasingly emphasized the importance of political ideas in understanding processes of change and stability in politics and public policy. Yet, surprisingly, relatively little has been done to more clearly and stringently conceptualize the relationship between political power and the role of ideas in public policy and political development. This volume addresses this major lacuna in the policy and political studies literature by bringing some of best scholars in the field, who each write about the relationship...
