This book was released on 2021-11-19 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, state legislatures in the United States have been transformed based on the social identities of their membership. At its most fundamental level, the debate over LGBTQ rights always has been a debate over the right of LGBTQ people to exist. While the role faith plays in legislative decision making is rooted within government functions, careful examination and change must be conducted to protect the humanity of those at risk through these influences. Faith-Based Influences on Legislative Decision Making: Emerging Research and Opportunities explores the balance between religious freedoms of legislators and the human rights of members of the LGBTQ community. Examining the politics and institutional forces brought to bear on LGBTQ claims for visibility, recognition, and dignity, this book is organized into three sections, each of which uses a distinct institutional lens—historical, legal, and religious. The author attempts to demonstrate that while the clash of cultures between these groups is real, it is not simple. The faith worldviews of each share common structural features but often reach extremely different conclusions. Covering topics such as marriage equality, religious liberty, and court cases, this book is an essential resource for students and educators in political science, policymakers, legislators, historians, sociologists, researchers, universities, administrations, community leaders, and academicians.

This book was released on 2022-03-11 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite several idealistic efforts towards a united Africa, the term remains a hypothetical concept symbolizing a desired federal state on the continent. While globalization and interconnectedness have brought prosperity in some parts of the world, Africa has not generally benefited from global decisions. These decisions, policies, and practices have tended to be wholly influenced by the rich and powerful countries and their transnational agencies and corporations in pursuit of their national interests. Faced with such enormous external economic and political forces, the divided and powerless African states have been unable to bargain for lucrative economic deals or pursue national interests for the benefit of their people, hence the need to examine what exists in varied fields and the emerging trends for the future. Interdisciplinary Approaches to the Future of Africa and Policy Development addresses critical issues and challenges in Africa and seeks to examine and understand the future trends in Africa through a deconstructive interrogation of present trends. Covering a wide range of topics such as sustainability, equality, and democracy, it is ideal for researchers, academicians, students, economists, policymakers, political parties, trade unions, and NGOs.

Book excerpt: State and Federal Legislators determine policies that impact both our constitutional rights and government obligation towards citizens of the United States. Legislators deliberate on hundreds of bills requiring an equal number of ultimate decisions in any given term. This mixed method exploratory sequential research includes three independent, but closely related, studies focused on the legislator's decision-making process. This dissertation will examine the influencing factors of legislative deliberations including whether mindfulness, originating from the practice of spirituality, influences legislative policy-making and effectiveness. Gender differences informed all areas of inquiry. The goal of this research is to gain an improved understanding of the best ways to unite legislators with policy advocates and other engaged citizens. To do this, I seek to understand what influences legislative policy decision-making? Are there gender differences in decision-making style and approach? Do religious practices, family values, and in turn, mindful decision-making influence male and female legislators differently? Through this research, I discovered male and female legislators in my sample approach policy decision-making differently. Men employ an agentic decision-making style, and women employ a communal decision-making style. The most significant driver of decision-making, and in turn legislative priorities, for both male and female legislators that I interviewed is their personal values or faith. Legislative mindful decision-making has a noteworthy impact on the outcomes of legislative deliberation. Mindful legislative leadership increases effectiveness, confidence, and decreases the legislative stress that comes from diverging policy decisions. Practicing mindfulness and the legislators who commit to it are more effective in developing common ground and are emotionally resilient. Overall, the implications of this dissertation extend to advocates, citizens, and legislators. As advocates are developing their strategic approaches for support of issues, understanding the core values of legislators, their decision-making process, and gender differences will help guide stakeholders, including voters, to understand the philosophy of policy makers on complex and divisive issues ultimately leading to better legislative outcomes for all involved. The practice of mindfulness in legislative decision-making is central to the success of the community, the constituents and the longevity of the legislator's career.

Book excerpt: There is significant debate regarding the quality of the national health system of the United States relative to those of other countries. The U.S. healthcare system has been heavily criticized as a highly inefficient, disorganized, fragmented, and under-resourced primary care system that contributes to high healthcare costs, high rates of uninsured individuals, and a number of health problems in comparison to the situation in other Western nations. Further, the United States is currently the only wealthy industrialized country that has not achieved universal health coverage. Together, these reasons help explain why important health indicators have been deteriorating recently. Assessing the Need for a Comprehensive National Health System in the United States seeks to thoroughly examine several key aspects related to the U.S. health system and presents different perspectives, provides facts and data-based assessment, and offers alternative strategies, policies, and realistic options towards a better and healthier U.S. society. Covering key topics such as telehealth, social justice, and healthcare workers, this reference work is ideal for health professionals, nurses, government officials, policymakers, researchers, scholars, practitioners, instructors, and students.

Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Politics - Miscellaneous, grade: 2:1 68%, University of Lincoln, course: Religion and Politics, language: English, abstract: This research paper aimed to find out the extent to which faith plays a part in the political decision making of Christian MPs. The MPs who were used in this study were from Christians in Parliament All-Party Group. The desire to investigate this topic derives from a deep personal interest in politics, combined with a sense of intrigue towards the influence of faith. Interviews took place with seven MPs, in order to question them about the role of their Christian faith as they work within the political arena. These interviews took place in London and consisted of nine questions, dealing with three concise topics; the Christians in Parliament group, personal influences of faith and the future of religion and politics. Amongst a great deal of interesting data, there were a number of key themes that can be drawn from this research. Christian MPs have a unique pressure upon them which derives from their faith and having to balance this in their job as a politician. In response to this pressure, this paper has found that MPs are determined in their endeavours to keep the Christian faith embedded in British society. Also, this paper has highlighted the great extent to which faith impacts individual MPs decision making. Overall, this research has furthered understanding of the impact of faith on Christian MPs and the extent to which this affects their decision making processes. It has enabled us to recognise the constant conflict faced by Christian MPs. This research has also raised awareness of the challenges for Christian members, whilst highlighting the debate regarding the extent to which religion continues to play a part in politician's decision making. As well providing a compelling insight, this work is a platform for deeper research into this area of study.
