Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accompanying the National Civic League's 105th Conference on Governance entitled "New Politics for a New Century," this issue is an impassioned argument against the common assumptions of citizen apathy as a reason for decreasing public engagement in the democratic process. Instead, contributors reveal a sophisticated citizenry with just cause for anger over the obstacles to good government and social change and their growing, media-fed presumption of bad intent from our political leadership. In the face of these daunting factors, this issue examines positive trends in rising politics of volunteerism and philanthropy while demonstrating that these are not the sole solution to collectively effecting social change in our country. Instead, chapters demonstrate methods that the whole tradition of the good-government movement can be reengaged to make government more responsive, and explore the promise of merging traditional good-government movement goals with the active and successful empowerment and poverty movements emerging from communities of color. Other topics discussed include outreach to youth, media accountability, and linking political processes to specific outcomes. Even the concept of political reform, initially developed as a tool to place barriers against the types of fraud and abuses common in voter participation over a hundred years ago, is subject to reform itself. With this issue, the National Civic League offers a powerful resource for those up to facing the task.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Brookings Institution Press and Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation publication It started two decades ago with CompStat in the New York City Police Department, and quickly jumped to police agencies across the U.S. and other nations. It was adapted by Baltimore, which created CitiStat—the first application of this leadership strategy to an entire jurisdiction. Today, governments at all levels employ PerformanceStat: a focused effort by public executives to exploit the power of purpose and motivation, responsibility and discretion, data and meetings, analysis and learning, feedback and follow-up—all to improve government's performance. Here, Harvard leadership and management guru Robert Behn analyzes the leadership behaviors at the core of PerformanceStat to identify how they work to produce results. He examines how the leaders of a variety of public organizations employ the strategy—the way the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services uses its DPSSTATS to promote economic independence, how the City of New Orleans uses its BlightStat to eradicate blight in city neighborhoods, and what the Federal Emergency Management Agency does with its FEMAStat to ensure that the lessons from each crisis response, recovery, and mitigation are applied in the future. How best to harness the strategy's full capacity? The PerformanceStat Potential explains all.

Download or read book Citizenship and Service written by Etta Bick and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All citizens in a democracy are promised the same guaranteed rights, but should they have the same obligations? Should minorities with different attitudes toward the state be obliged to do national service in the name of equality? And what are the social and political consequences for minorities not given the opportunity to serve? This groundbreaking study examines civic (non-military) national service in Israel from independence until today, focusing on the controversies that ensued as the ethos of Israeli citizenship evolved from republican to liberal. Civic national service for religious girls was instituted in 1971 on a voluntary basis while remaining closed to others. After 2000, the program gradually extended to youth unsuitable for military service, Haredim (ultra-Orthodox), and Arabs. Etta Bick reveals the politics surrounding civic service policy using government documents and reports, newspaper accounts, and interviews. Civic national service remains a subject of contention both in the Arab community and among the Haredim, where some choose to serve despite the opposition of their leaders. Bick concludes that minority participation in civic national service is a positive and critical step toward their greater inclusion and integration into Israeli society. If Israeli policymakers adopt a more communitarian approach to citizenship and to civic national service, it will contribute to building stronger communities and empowering youth, benefitting all.

Book excerpt: Partisans on both the left and right wings of America's theory class and political spectrum believe we're in trouble, big trouble. The economy is limping along. Inequality has reached unprecedented levels. And we seem to be on the verge of being overwhelmed by immigrants who don't look and act anything like our grandparents did much less the men and women who founded our country. Angry, scared, disengaged and distrustful when we aren't openly antagonistic toward each other, Americans can't figure out who we are as a people and openly fret about our best days being behind us. To make matters worse, our political system, the one place we're supposed to be able to work on behalf of a broader public good with people who aren't like us, appears even more broken than these other parts of our culture. There's some unexpected good news, however, and it's coming from one of the last places in America you'd expect different people to be getting along: Boston. Bostonians -- well known for their unwelcoming and sometimes violent treatment of newcomers and unwillingness to find common ground with people deemed outsiders -- aren't acting broken or taking their resentments out on each other these days. They've turned instead to calmer ways of talking about each other and treating each other in public. Far from being disconnected and afraid, people in Boston are better connected and more respectful of each other, and their city is better organized and more orderly than at any time in its long and storied history. Bostonians have learned to get along with the strangers among them in ways their ancestors never knew or expected the rest of us would be willing to entertain much less master. They have their civic act together. Engaging Strangers explores how the people of Boston have learned to practice a more congenial and respectful set of civic virtues. In this book, the author provides a model for civic conduct for the rest of America to study and follow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This issue explores the legacy of Election 2000 and its inability to ensure that all duly registered voters can vote and that all their votes can be counted. The implications for our future as a democracy continue to drive election reform efforts with Democrats focusing on identifying and removing barriers to voting and Republicans raising concerns over voter fraud. Contributors to this issue argue that the outcome of Election 2000 should not be seen as an aberration, but as an expression of how our political system currently works and that voting reform is only one topic in the wider debate on political reform in general. Topics address include campaign finance reform in light of the McCain-Feingold bill as well as a number of developments at the state and local levels, ranging from Clean Money/Clean Election agreements to partial public financing systems. Other areas of the electoral process scrutinized include the role of the Electoral College, barriers to third-party candidates as personally encountered by Green Party candidate Ralph Nader, and equitable access to free airtime in media. Innovative political reform at state and local levels is also examined with models provided from New York City's campaign finance system as well as a variety of reform measures around the country. Articles include: Citizen Democracy Dorothy Ridings Federal Campaign Finance Reform: The Long and Winding Road Scott Harshbarger, Edwin Davis Localism and Reform: The Benefits of Political Diversity Carl Castillo, Mike McGrath New York City's Campaign Finance System: Why Is the Best Hope for Reform Being Ignored Mark Schmitt Free Airtime: Another Means for Cleaning Up Campaigns Matt Farey So You Want to Run for President?
