The Party Politics of Presidential Rhetoric
ISBN: 9781107150034 / Angielski / Twarda / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Second, the book adds to the scholarly interest in how political...

When Bad Policy Makes Good Politics: Running the Numbers on Health Reform
ISBN: 9780190255435 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the 1960s, America's policymaking system has transitioned from one in which leaders like Lyndon Johnson could simply disparage the concept of budget projections to one in which policymakers consciously manipulate cost estimates. Paradoxically, the very safeguards put in place to thwart economically unsound legislation now cause chaos by incentivizing the development of flawed, even blatantly unworkable, policies. As Robert Saldin shows in When Bad Policy Makes Good Politics, the pathologies of the new system are illustrated by the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports Act...

Revolving Door Lobbying: Public Service, Private Influence, and the Unequal Representation of Interests
ISBN: 9780700624508 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent decades Washington has seen an alarming rise in the number of "revolving door lobbyists"--politicians and officials cashing in on their government experience to become influence peddlers on K Street. These lobbyists, popular wisdom suggests, sell access to the highest bidder. Revolving Door Lobbying tells a different, more nuanced story. As an insider interviewed in the book observes, where the general public has the "impression that lobbyists actually get things done, I would say 90 percent of what lobbyists do is prevent harm to their client from the government."...
