The Wartime President: Executive Influence and the Nationalizing Politics of Threat
ISBN: 9780226048390 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. It is the nature of war to increase the executive at the expense of the legislative authority, wrote Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist Papers. The balance of power between Congress and the president has been a powerful thread throughout American political thought since the time of the Founding Fathers. And yet, for all that has been written on the topic, we still lack a solid empirical or theoretical justification for Hamilton s proposition.
For the first time, William G. Howell, Saul P. Jackman, and Jon C. Rogowski systematically analyze the question. Congress, they show, is more... It is the nature of war to increase the executive at the expense of the legislative authority, wrote Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist Papers. The ...

While Dangers Gather: Congressional Checks on Presidential War Powers
ISBN: 9780691134628 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Nearly five hundred times in the past century, American presidents have deployed the nation's military abroad, on missions ranging from embassy evacuations to full-scale wars. The question of whether Congress has effectively limited the president's power to do so has generally met with a resounding "no." In While Dangers Gather, William Howell and Jon Pevehouse reach a very different conclusion. The authors--one an American politics scholar, the other an international relations scholar--provide the most comprehensive and compelling evidence to date on Congress's...

Thinking about the Presidency: The Primacy of Power
ISBN: 9780691165684 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. All American presidents, past and present, have cared deeply about power--acquiring, protecting, and expanding it. While individual presidents obviously have other concerns, such as shaping policy or building a legacy, the primacy of power considerations--exacerbated by expectations of the presidency and the inadequacy of explicit powers in the Constitution--sets presidents apart from other political actors. Thinking about the Presidency explores presidents' preoccupation with power. Distinguished presidential scholar William Howell looks at the key aspects of executive...

The Education Gap: Vouchers and Urban Schools
ISBN: 9780815736851 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The voucher debate has been both intense and ideologically polarizing, in good part because so little is known about how voucher programs operate in practice. In The Education Gap, William Howell and Paul Peterson report new findings drawn from the most comprehensive study on vouchers conducted to date. Added to the paperback edition of this groundbreaking volume are the authors' insights into the latest school choice developments in American education, including new voucher initiatives, charter school expansion, and public-school choice under No Child Left Behind. The authors review the... The voucher debate has been both intense and ideologically polarizing, in good part because so little is known about how voucher programs operate i... |

Power Without Persuasion: The Politics of Direct Presidential Action
ISBN: 9780691102702 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 239 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Since the early 1960s, scholarly thinking on the power of U.S. presidents has rested on these words: "Presidential power is the power to persuade." Power, in this formulation, is strictly about bargaining and convincing other political actors to do things the president cannot accomplish alone. Power without Persuasion argues otherwise. Focusing on presidents' ability to act unilaterally, William Howell provides the most theoretically substantial and far-reaching reevaluation of presidential power in many years. He argues that presidents regularly set public policies over vocal...

Besieged: School Boards and the Future of Education Politics
ISBN: 9780815736837 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. School boards are fighting for their survival. Almost everything that they do is subject to regulations handed down from city councils, state boards of education, legislatures, and courts. As recent mayoral and state takeovers in such cities as Baltimore, Chicago, and New York make abundantly clear, school boards that do not fulfill the expectations of other political players may be stripped of what few independent powers they still retain. Teachers unions exert growing influence over board decision-making processes. And with the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act, the federal... School boards are fighting for their survival.

Against Self-Reliance: The Arts of Dependence in the Early United States
ISBN: 9780812247039 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Individualism is arguably the most vital tenet of American national identity: American cultural heroes tend to be mavericks and nonconformists, and independence is the fulcrum of the American origin story. But in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, a number of American artists, writers, and educational philosophers cast imitation and emulation as central to the linked projects of imagining the self and consolidating the nation. Tracing continuities between literature, material culture, and pedagogical theory, William Huntting Howell uncovers an America that celebrated the...

Presidents, Populism, and the Crisis of Democracy
ISBN: 9780226763170 / Angielski / Miękka / 2020 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Has American democracy's long, ambitious run come to an end? Possibly yes. As William G. Howell and Terry M. Moe argue in this trenchant new analysis of modern politics, the United States faces a historic crisis that threatens our system of self-government--and if democracy is to be saved, the causes of the crisis must be understood and defused. The most visible cause is Donald Trump, who has used his presidency to attack the nation's institutions and violate its democratic norms. Yet Trump is but a symptom of causes that run much deeper: social forces like globalization, automation, and...
