Laham analyzes perhaps the most politically controversial element of Reagan's conservative agenda, involving his attempt to curtail federal enforcement of civil rights laws. The book focuses on the major initiatives Reagan pursued in his attempt to curb enforcement of those laws: first, his efforts to reform affirmative action by prohibiting mandatory employer use of minority and white female hiring goals, and second, his veto of the Civil Rights Restoration Act. Reagan's academic critics argue that the president was politically motivated in his efforts to curtail federal enforcement of...

Ronald Reagan and the Politics of Immigration Reform
ISBN: 9780275967239 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Laham argues that Ronald Reagan demonstrated gross ineptitude in his conduct of immigration policy. He failed to press for much-needed reforms in legal immigration while he supported the establishment of a fraud-ridden employer sanctions regime, which had no discernible effect in achieving its goal of stemming the flow of illegal immigration. He failed to take the first step toward the establishment of a fraud-resistant worker verification system, which would enable the employer sanctions provisions of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) to be effectively enforced. Additionally,... Laham argues that Ronald Reagan demonstrated gross ineptitude in his conduct of immigration policy. He failed to press for much-needed reforms in l... |

The American Bombing of Libya: A Study of the Force of Miscalculation in Reagan Foreign Policy
ISBN: 9780786431854 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This book argues that the 1986 American bombing of Libya represented an act of desperation by then-president Ronald Reagan in order to salvage American credibility in the Arab world. The author asserts that such credibility had been severely undermined by Reagans earlier decision to enhance the strategic alliance between the U.S. and Israel, and that the 1986 bombing specifically targeted Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi as one of the foremost Middle Eastern threats to American security.

A Lost Cause: Bill Clinton's Campaign for National Health Insurance
ISBN: 9780275956110 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Bill Clinton's 1993-94 health care reform initiative was one of the most active and sustained presidential campaigns ever undertaken in support of a single social issue, and certainly the boldest attempt to establish national health insurance in the United States. An analysis of the Clinton campaign, therefore, reveals much about the politics of divided government in the late 20th century, the apparent end of the New Deal-Great Society approach to governance and the enduring democratic coalition which supported it, and, of course, the high stakes politics of health care reform. This study... Bill Clinton's 1993-94 health care reform initiative was one of the most active and sustained presidential campaigns ever undertaken in support of ... |

Crossing the Rubicon: Ronald Reagan and Us Policy in the Middle East
ISBN: 9781138619241 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This insightful work explores one of the under-examined eras of US foreign policy toward the Palestinian question: the Reagan years. The Reagan tenure is often perceived as one of disengagement from the region, especially in the aftermath of the bombing in Lebanon. Nicholas Laham contends that this is not so and that the Reagan administration set the tone for US policy for the next two decades. Specifically the work analyzes the nexus between domestic actors and US foreign policy toward the Arab-Israeli conflict. Employing significant archival materials, the book probes in detail the...

Selling Awacs to Saudi Arabia: The Reagan Administration and the Balancing of America's Competing Interests in the Middle East
ISBN: 9780275975630 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The AWACS debate represents one of the most critical and controversial events in the history of American diplomacy and legislative politics. It locked the Reagan administration and opponents of the AWACS sale in a fierce and pitched battle over American policy in the most economically and strategically vital region in the world: the Middle East. Accordingly, Laham finds there are at least five political lessons to be drawn from the debate. First, contrary to the arguments of its critics in Congress, the pro-Israel lobby does not control American policy in the Middle East. Second, the...
