Ideology, Status, And The Differential Success Of Direct Parties Before The Supreme Court, Reginald S. Sheehan, William Mishler, Donald R. Songer

Faculty Publications

A substantial literature on lower federal courts and state courts suggests that the "haves" usually come out ahead in litigation because they possess superior resources for it and they reap advantages from their repeat player status. We investigate the success of 10 categories of litigants before the Warren, Burger, and Rehnquist Courts to determine whether the resources or experience of litigants has effects on Supreme Court outcomes paralleling those found in the courts below. While different categories of litigants are found to have very different rates of success, those differences do not consistently favor litigants with greater resources. A time …

A Comparative Review Of The Pluralist, Rational Choice And Neo-Institutional Theories In Ontario's Occupational Health And Safety Policy., Chris. Mcintyre

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Three prominent policy theories will be compared and ordered in their ability to explain the cause of policy change in Ontario's occupational health and safety policy between 1974 and 1979. The number of potential theories is rather extensive but they have been grouped together according to their unique perspective of how policy is advanced, formed, implemented and evaluated. Causal policy phenomena are described as arising from three primary sources. The pluralist theory is associated with the society orientation, the rational choice theory represents the economic orientation and the recent neo-institutional theory derives from the state orientation. In the case of …

Economic Factors And The Soviet Non-Intervention During The Central East European Revolutions: 1988-1990 (Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia)., Adam Edward. Fallenbuchl

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In 1988-89 Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia erupted with popular political movements that challenged Communist rule and Soviet hegemony in the region. Generally the USSR dealt with the most serious challenges to Soviet control with the use of force. In 1988-89, the Soviet Union did not follow the percent that it had set, and pursued a non-interventionary policy in Eastern Europe. The study explores the major role that the state of the economy played in the formulation of Soviet foreign policy during the Central East European revolution. It does this by comparing the official growth rates of key Soviet economic indicators …

Community In Liberalism: Language Rights In Quebec, Pierre A. Coulombe

Digitized Theses

To what extent can liberal theory account for community without compromising its core value, that of autonomy? And, by extension, can a liberal framework of rights properly integrate claims to the promotion of community, say a linguistic community? Part of the answer rests on an interpretation of liberalism which would accommodate community and valid claims to communal goods such as language. Various attempts to offer such an interpretation, however, are constrained by normative claims about the primacy of autonomy, or yet are founded on shaky propositions about the moral status of community. These difficulties are apparent in rights-discourse, namely in …
