The Return of Ordinary Capitalism: Neoliberalism, Precarity, Occupy
ISBN: 9780190253028 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As Frances Fox Piven and Richard Cloward argued in the early seventies, in a capitalist economy, social welfare policies alternatingly serve political and economic ends as circumstances dictate. In moments of political stability, governments emphasize a capitalistic work ethic (even if it means working a job that will leave one impoverished); when times are less politically stable, states liberalize welfare policies to recreate the conditions for political acquiescence. Sanford Schram argues in this new book that each shift produces its own path dependency even as it represents yet another...

Tales of the State: Narrative in Contemporary U.S. Politics and Public Policy
ISBN: 9780847685035 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The relationship between politics and storytelling is one with a well-established lineage, but public policy analysis has only recently begun to develop its own appreciation of the power of narrative to explain everything from political traditions to cyberspace. This unique collection of original essays helps further that project by surveying stories of and about all kinds of American politics-from welfare, race, and immigration; to workfare, jobs, and education; to gay rights, national security, and the American Dream in an age of economic globalization.

ISBN: 9780814797549 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Do contemporary welfare policies reflect the realities of the economy and the needs of those in need of public assistance, or are they based on outdated and idealized notions of work and family life? Are we are moving from a -war on poverty- to a -war against the poor?- In this critique of American social welfare policy, Sanford F. Schram explores the cultural anxieties over the putatively deteriorating -American work ethic, - and the class, race, sexual and gender biases at the root of current policy and debates.

Making Political Science Matter brings together a number of prominent scholars to discuss the state of the field of Political Science.

Welfare Discipline: Discourse, Governance, and Globalization
ISBN: 9781592133017 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For the past decade political scientist Sanford Schram has led the academic effort to understand the ways Americans and their political officials talk about welfare. In this important new work, Schram argues that it is time to take stock of the new forms of welfare and to develop new methods to better understand them. While still asserting the importance of understanding discourse, he is now pushing for a more contextual approach to understanding everything from the use of the idea of globalization to justify cutbacks in welfare and the increasing movement of U.S. policy discourse overseas to...

Rethinking Neoliberalism: Resisting the Disciplinary Regime
ISBN: 9781138735965 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Neoliberalism remains a flashpoint for political contestation around the world. For decades now, neoliberalism has been in the process of becoming a globally ascendant default logic that prioritizes using economic rationality for all major decisions, in all sectors of society, at the collective level of state policymaking as well as the personal level of individual choice-making. Donald Trump's recent presidential victory has been interpreted both as a repudiation and as a validation of neoliberalism's hegemony. Rethinking Neoliberalism brings together theorists,...

Race and the Politics of Welfare Reform
ISBN: 9780472068319 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. It's hard to imagine discussing welfare policy without discussing race, yet all too often this uncomfortable factor is avoided or simply ignored. Sometimes the relationship between welfare and race is treated as so self-evident as to need no further attention; equally often, race in the context of welfare is glossed over, lest it raise hard questions about racism in American society as a whole. Either way, ducking the issue misrepresents the facts and misleads the public and policy-makers alike.
Many scholars have addressed specific aspects of this subject, but until now there has been no... It's hard to imagine discussing welfare policy without discussing race, yet all too often this uncomfortable factor is avoided or simply ignored. Some...
