Engelse boeken: American Public Policy by Thomas R. Dye

Aangeboden: American Public Policy by Thomas R. Dye Prijs: T.e.a.b. AMERICAN PUBLIC POLICY by Thomas R. Dye The Florida State University Documents and Essays Charles E. Merrill Publishing Company A Bell & Howell Company Columbus, Ohio Boek met kaft met illustratie met zwarte letteropdruk in perfecte conditie; 588 pagina's; American Public Policy is a documentary reader of source materials which focus on the content of public policy. This volume provides students an opportunity to deal first-hand with documentary materials on public policy — legislative acts, court decisions, statements and reports from the executive branch of government, and clear statements of alternative policy positions by national figures. Students are encouraged to read for themselves from the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, the Report of the President's Commission on Civil Disorder, Engle v. Vitale, the Geneva Agreements of 1954, the Report of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, the Testimony of Secretary of State Dean Rusk before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Other primary sources and materials for public policy. In addition, students are provided with clear and forceful statements of alternative policies — for example, the Black Power alternative from Stokely Carmichael, the negative income tax proposal by Milton Friedman, a plan for federal-state revenue sharmg by Walter Heller, and the "Arrogance of Power" critique of U.S. foreign policy by Senator J. William Fulbright. This documentary reader is distinguished from the many books of readings currently on the market by: (1) its focus on public policy rather than the structure and organization of American government; and (2) its focus on documentary source materials rather than argumentative writing. Clear, succinct essays on the separate policy areas — segregation, civil rights, protest and public order, health, we l fare, poverty, housing and urban affairs, business and labor, foreign policy, military affairs, and government finance — provide a context for reading the source materials. These essays are straightforward narratives of policy developments in each area under study. American Public Policy provides the student with source materials, but it is the responsibility of the instructor to provide the student with an analytic framework for understanding public policy. This volume does not pretend to provide a comprehensive analysis or interpretation of the policy-making process, but it can be a very useful tool in achieving that objective. More importantly, this volume helps to insure that students will not come away from American Government courses with a surplus of analytical models and conceptual approaches, but with an embarrassing shortage of information about the content of public policy.
