Councilmanic Perceptions Of Water Policy For The Lake Gaston Water Supply Project In Virginia And North Carolina, Beverly Mcafee Hedberg
Theses and Dissertations in Urban Services - Urban Management
The purpose of this case study is to analyze the perceptions of city council members in formulating and implementing policy on the Lake Gaston Water Supply Project in Virginia and North Carolina. A comparison of the perceptions of twenty-three members of three city councils: Henderson, North Carolina; Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina; and Virginia Beach, Virginia serves as the basis for analysis. Their perceptions of the issues and how they view other actors in the intergovernmental arena, within the context of the Lake Gaston Water Supply Project.
Specifically, the research examines how city council members view (1) water-policy issues, (2) the …
Science--The Endless Frontier: A Half Century Later, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Science--The Endless Frontier: A Half Century Later, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
In July 1945, Vannevar Bush wrote the treatise that outlined federal science policy for the next 50 years: Science - The Endless Frontier. Given that the government had not financed in any significant way any non-agricultural research prior to WWII, Bush's report fundamentally altered the federal government's approach to scientific research. The report also strongly influenced the congressional decision to establish the National Science Foundation. Nevertheless, federal government did not implement Bush's policy recommendations, and today there is a shortness of vision to science policy planners. Just as private industry faces an enlarged need for the fruits of R&D, the …
The Quiet Reversal Of U.S. Climate Change Policy, Murray L. Weidenbaum, Christopher Douglass
The Quiet Reversal Of U.S. Climate Change Policy, Murray L. Weidenbaum, Christopher Douglass
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
This paper calls for an immediate and extensive Congressional and national debate about the scope of climate change and the role of the U.S. in addressing this issue before passing any international laws.

Fairness As Compassion: Towards A Less Unfair Facility Siting Policy, Benjamin Davy
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
Dr. Davy argues that siting efforts fail because of perceived injustices and urges authorities to search more aggressively for ways to avoid injustice and to cope with the anguish of those who may be unavoidably shortchanged.

American Isolationism Versus The Global Marketplace, Murray L. Weidenbaum
American Isolationism Versus The Global Marketplace, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
A growing paradox faces the United States. There is simultaneously a rise in support for isolationism alongside an increasing globalization of business and economic activity. Examined separately, both trends possess a certain logical appeal. After all, given the end of the Cold War, many Americans expect an increased focus on domestic issues, of which there are plenty. At the same time, a global marketplace based on international trade has arrived. This paper examines the tensions these two trends present when placed alongside one another.
A New Look At Heath-Care Reform, Murray L. Weidenbaum
A New Look At Heath-Care Reform, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
The time is ripe for taking a new look at health-care reform. Between a free market and a governmental approach, the operation of market forces often proceeds more rapidly and more effectively in responding to serious problems than do the more ponderous decision-making mechanisms of the public sector. Indeed, often the reduction of governmental impediments to competition represents the most efficient and least costly solution. Medical care is no exception.
Elitism Vs. Checks And Balances In Communicating Scientific Information To The Public, Arthur Kantrowitz
Elitism Vs. Checks And Balances In Communicating Scientific Information To The Public, Arthur Kantrowitz
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
The "father of the Science Court" describes his objective in proposing the institution as it has come to be known, his efforts to get a major public test of the concept, and insights gained since the initial proposal was made in 1967.
Science Courts, Evidentiary Procedures And Mixed Science-Policy Decisions, Carl F. Cranor
Science Courts, Evidentiary Procedures And Mixed Science-Policy Decisions, Carl F. Cranor
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
This paper analyzes the potential for science courts to address the social need to regulate human carcinogens and concludes that, on balance, it is not high. From this vantage point, Professor Cranor suggests desiderata for application in other areas where science courts might be used.
The Rising Presence Of Government In The Workplace, Murray L. Weidenbaum
The Rising Presence Of Government In The Workplace, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
Debates over government regulation are often erroneously framed as a battle between business and the public interest. For government officials, however, regulation is an easy way to advance policy agendas without spending much federal money. But every time the government imposes new standards on the workplace or increases employee benefits, it imposes a more expensive method of production on businesses. Politicians are able to simultaneously vote for the better treatment of employees and criticize "greedy" companies. Consumers, meanwhile, suffer by paying for these hidden taxes.
The New Wave Of Environmental Regulation: The Impacts On Business And Consumers, Murray L. Weidenbaum
The New Wave Of Environmental Regulation: The Impacts On Business And Consumers, Murray L. Weidenbaum
Murray Weidenbaum Publications
Following the regulatory excesses of the 1970s and the reforms of the 1980s, the policy pendulum is swinging back again. On the surface, the government imposing socially desirable requirements on business seems to be a cheap way of achieving national objectives. But every time a government agency attempts to safeguard the environment or foster occupational health or promote product safety, it imposes a more expensive method of production on businesses. Consumers, meanwhile, suffer by paying for these hidden regulations.

Human Service: A Framework For Education And Practice, Hyung Shik Kim, Roderic Underwood
Research outputs pre 2011
This paper sets out to deal with two main themes. The first theme considers the historical, political and social forces in human service delivery which were instrumental in the gradual recognition of human service as a field of academic study and practice. The paper firmly locates human services in organisational and administrative settings, in contrast to therapeutic or clinical orientations of the established helping professions.
The second theme deals with the domain of human services by incorporating the value commitment to meeting human needs. The normative position identifies human service as a field of study and practice which cuts across …
Public Participation In Risk Management Decisions: The Right To Define, The Right To Know And The Right To Act, Frances M. Lynn
Public Participation In Risk Management Decisions: The Right To Define, The Right To Know And The Right To Act, Frances M. Lynn
RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)
It is important to solicit public opinions before making decisions about Risk, but this is seen as only a first step. The author observes that it is also important that the public be involved in defining the problem, identifying needed information, interpreting information, and choosing among the options for action.
Small Groups And Political Influence: A Case Study, Rhonda Q. Hayes
Small Groups And Political Influence: A Case Study, Rhonda Q. Hayes
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
In early civics lessons Americans are taught that theirs is a system of participatory government, that one person's vote does have meaning, and that by making views known to representatives they will be acted upon. They are taught about the governmental process, the steps involved in legislation, the function of the judicial and executive branches, and the means of political participation. Seemingly, they are given a working knowledge of government in action. What they are not made aware of during these lessons is that there are systems within the system and certain unwritten rules which must be followed in order …

Student Rights: U.S. Supreme Court Cases-- Their Implications For And Implementation In Washington Schools, Angela Dawn Ramsey
Student Rights: U.S. Supreme Court Cases-- Their Implications For And Implementation In Washington Schools, Angela Dawn Ramsey
All Master's Theses
The relationship between national litigation and state legislation was studied. Seven areas of student rights were used in categorizing Washington State's educational laws and policies, and twenty-three precedent-setting United States Supreme Court cases. The results showed support for the hypothesis that national litigation impacts state legislation in educational policy-making. Implications for and impact that this has upon the future are discussed.
