Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is an old story: the courts are behind in their work. What is wrong? A problem of management? This book opens with a passage from an address by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger of the United States Supreme Court delivered a few years ago at the annual meeting of the American Bar Association: "[T]oday, in the final third of this century, we are still trying to operate the courts with fundamentally the same basic methods, the same procedures and the same machinery that Roscoe Pound said were not good enough in 1906. In the supermarket age we are with few exceptions operating the courts with cracker-barrel, corner-grocer methods and equipment, vintage 1900. ... More money and more judges alone is not the primary solution to the problem of the courts. Some of what is wrong is due to the failure to apply the techniques of modern business to the purely mechanical operation of the court--of modern record keeping and systems planning for handling the movement of the cases. Some is also due to antiquated and rigid procedures Which not only permit delay but encourage it".

This book was released on 2018 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The following dissertation advances methodological aspects of American bureaucratic and judicial politics. Each of the following three papers focus on developing methodological approaches to those subject areas specifically with respect to Natural Language Processing (NLP) and text-as-data. The main contributions of each paper are methodological in nature. First, I create a new text-based preference scaling algorithm for estimating United States Supreme Court preferences using text and network analysis. Despite widespread acceptance of text-based methods for scaling the ideological preferences of political actors, only two text-based models find widespread use: Wordfish and Wordscores. Using network-derived features to identify multiple Supreme Court issue areas and the text of Supreme Court opinions, I develop a new model for estimating the latent ideological preferences, of Supreme Court justices improving and extending Wordfish. This new model integrates new advances in network analysis and community detection algorithms to introduce multi-dimensional preferences into one comprehensive model for Supreme Court decisions. For Freedom of Speech, Search and Seizure, and Commerce Clause cases, I compare the predictive efficacy of estimates derived by the commonly used Wordfish algorithm and my own for Supreme Court cases between 1969-2003. This methods presents a way to estimate preferences from opinions even from cases on which votes are unanimous. Second, I identify key structural and ideological motivations on the U.S. National Labor Relations Board. Bureaucrat and agency preferences, and the policy choices that bureaus make, are crucial for myriad theoretical models and empirical analyses. While measuring such preferences has proven problematic, recently a number of scholars have provided alternatives for estimating these features. However, efforts have generally not included advances in text-based analysis, despite the potential for employing written records to develop rich, dynamic, estimates. To remedy this omission, we utilize and build upon text-based scaling methods to estimate the ideological and partisan preferences of key decision-makers and case decisions for a canonical agency long-studied by policy scholars: the National Labor Relations Board. Specifically, we create a comprehensive, text-based, database of Board decisions from 1947-2015. Using text analysis, we find that member preferences must be separated by case type, i.e., assuming that there we can combine such decisions in generating preference scores is not warranted. We also show that our preferences measures do well compared to alternatives, such as those solely using Item Response Theory, when we estimate models with preferences and forces internal and external to the agency to explain outputs. Finally, we find structural effects on the agency's decision content over time using change-point analysis. Finally, I leverage tools from Natural Language Processing to create an ideological common space between the U.S. Congress, Supreme Court, and Appeals Courts. Comparable ideological preferences across United States Federal institutions are fundamental to understanding the interplay of political preferences and power across those institutions. Two decades of work has encouraged the creation of ideological scores in the bureaucracy, Congress, and the Supreme Court. These scores have largely either been focused narrowly on easily observable and quantifiable institutional behavior such as roll-call votes or focusing on observable behavior that relates to the private political preferences of judges, Supreme Court justices, and members of Congress. To facilitate the creation of a legal common space, I employ textbased information retrieval and sentimental analysis techniques to create a new set of bridge observations between members of Congress, the Supreme Court, and Federal Court of Appeals and District Court judges. Utilizing this new set of bridge observations, I develop a new legal common space using sentiment of legal and judicial citations as votes to estimate the political ideal points of the entire U.S. Federal Judiciary and members of Congress from 1980 to 2012. These scores are then validated by examining the spatial arrangement of these scores relative to political party and comparing to more recent attempts at creating common space scores."--Pages viii-x.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judicial Politics in the United States examines the role of courts as policymaking institutions and their interactions with the other branches of government and other political actors in the U.S. political system.

Book Synopsis American Government 3e by : Glen Krutz
Download or read book American Government 3e written by Glen Krutz and published by . This book was released on 2023-05-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black & white print. American Government 3e aligns with the topics and objectives of many government courses. Faculty involved in the project have endeavored to make government workings, issues, debates, and impacts meaningful and memorable to students while maintaining the conceptual coverage and rigor inherent in the subject. With this objective in mind, the content of this textbook has been developed and arranged to provide a logical progression from the fundamental principles of institutional design at the founding, to avenues of political participation, to thorough coverage of the political structures that constitute American government. The book builds upon what students have already learned and emphasizes connections between topics as well as between theory and applications. The goal of each section is to enable students not just to recognize concepts, but to work with them in ways that will be useful in later courses, future careers, and as engaged citizens. In order to help students understand the ways that government, society, and individuals interconnect, the revision includes more examples and details regarding the lived experiences of diverse groups and communities within the United States. The authors and reviewers sought to strike a balance between confronting the negative and harmful elements of American government, history, and current events, while demonstrating progress in overcoming them. In doing so, the approach seeks to provide instructors with ample opportunities to open discussions, extend and update concepts, and drive deeper engagement.
Book Synopsis The Administrative State by : Dwight Waldo
Download or read book The Administrative State written by Dwight Waldo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic text, originally published in 1948, is a study of the public administration movement from the viewpoint of political theory and the history of ideas. It seeks to review and analyze the theoretical element in administrative writings and to present the development of the public administration movement as a chapter in the history of American political thought.The objectives of The Administrative State are to assist students of administration to view their subject in historical perspective and to appraise the theoretical content of their literature. It is also hoped that this book may assist students of American culture by illuminating an important development of the first half of the twentieth century. It thus should serve political scientists whose interests lie in the field of public administration or in the study of bureaucracy as a political issue; the public administrator interested in the philosophic background of his service; and the historian who seeks an understanding of major governmental developments.This study, now with a new introduction by public policy and administration scholar Hugh Miller, is based upon the various books, articles, pamphlets, reports, and records that make up the literature of public administration, and documents the political response to the modern world that Graham Wallas named the Great Society. It will be of lasting interest to students of political science, government, and American history.
Book Synopsis Making Rights Real by : Charles R. Epp
Download or read book Making Rights Real written by Charles R. Epp and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-02-15 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s a common complaint: the United States is overrun by rules and procedures that shackle professional judgment, have no valid purpose, and serve only to appease courts and lawyers. Charles R. Epp argues, however, that few Americans would want to return to an era without these legalistic policies, which in the 1970s helped bring recalcitrant bureaucracies into line with a growing national commitment to civil rights and individual dignity. Focusing on three disparate policy areas—workplace sexual harassment, playground safety, and police brutality in both the United States and the United Kingdom—Epp explains how activists and professionals used legal liability, lawsuit-generated publicity, and innovative managerial ideas to pursue the implementation of new rights. Together, these strategies resulted in frameworks designed to make institutions accountable through intricate rules, employee training, and managerial oversight. Explaining how these practices became ubiquitous across bureaucratic organizations, Epp casts today’s legalistic state in an entirely new light.

Book Synopsis Bureaucracy in America by : Joseph Postell
Download or read book Bureaucracy in America written by Joseph Postell and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2017-07-30 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of the administrative state is the most significant political development in American politics over the past century. While our Constitution separates powers into three branches, and requires that the laws are made by elected representatives in the Congress, today most policies are made by unelected officials in agencies where legislative, executive, and judicial powers are combined. This threatens constitutionalism and the rule of law. This book examines the history of administrative power in America and argues that modern administrative law has failed to protect the principles of American constitutionalism as effectively as earlier approaches to regulation and administration.
Book Synopsis The Oxford Handbook of American Bureaucracy by : Robert F. Durant
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of American Bureaucracy written by Robert F. Durant and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-08-02 with total page 888 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the major dilemmas facing the administrative state in the United States today is discerning how best to harness for public purposes the dynamism of markets, the passion and commitment of nonprofit and volunteer organizations, and the public-interest-oriented expertise of the career civil service. Researchers across a variety of disciplines, fields, and subfields have independently investigated aspects of the formidable challenges, choices, and opportunities this dilemma poses for governance, democratic constitutionalism, and theory building. This literature is vast, affords multiple and conflicting perspectives, is methodologically diverse, and is fragmented. The Oxford Handbook of American Bureaucracy affords readers an uncommon overview and integration of this eclectic body of knowledge as adduced by many of its most respected researchers. Each of the chapters identifies major issues and trends, critically takes stock of the state of knowledge, and ponders where future research is most promising. Unprecedented in scope, methodological diversity, scholarly viewpoint, and substantive integration, this volume is invaluable for assessing where the study of American bureaucracy stands at the end of the first decade of the 21st century, and where leading scholars think it should go in the future. The Oxford Handbooks of American Politics are a set of reference books offering authoritative and engaging critical overviews of the state of scholarship on American politics. Each volume focuses on a particular aspect of the field. The project is under the General Editorship of George C. Edwards III, and distinguished specialists in their respective fields edit each volume. The Handbooks aim not just to report on the discipline, but also to shape it as scholars critically assess the scholarship on a topic and propose directions in which it needs to move. The series is an indispensable reference for anyone working in American politics. General Editor for The Oxford Handbooks of American Politics: George C. Edwards III
Book Synopsis Patchwork Leviathan by : Erin Metz McDonnell
Download or read book Patchwork Leviathan written by Erin Metz McDonnell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corruption and ineffectiveness are often expected of public servants in developing countries. However, some groups within these states are distinctly more effective and public oriented than the rest. Why? Patchwork Leviathan explains how a few spectacularly effective state organizations manage to thrive amid general institutional weakness and succeed against impressive odds. Drawing on the Hobbesian image of the state as Leviathan, Erin Metz McDonnell argues that many seemingly weak states actually have a wide range of administrative capacities. Such states are in fact patchworks sewn loosely together from scarce resources into the semblance of unity. McDonnell demonstrates that when the human, cognitive, and material resources of bureaucracy are rare, it is critically important how they are distributed. Too often, scarce bureaucratic resources are scattered throughout the state, yielding little effect. McDonnell reveals how a sufficient concentration of resources clustered within particular pockets of a state can be transformative, enabling distinctively effective organizations to emerge from a sea of ineffectiveness. Patchwork Leviathan offers a comprehensive analysis of successful statecraft in institutionally challenging environments, drawing on cases from contemporary Ghana and Nigeria, mid-twentieth-century Kenya and Brazil, and China in the early twentieth century. Based on nearly two years of pioneering fieldwork in West Africa, this incisive book explains how these highly effective pockets differ from the Western bureaucracies on which so much state and organizational theory is based, providing a fresh answer to why well-funded global capacity-building reforms fail—and how they can do better.
