The Alliance For Progress: Policy Continuation Or Actual Reform?, Mario Mion
The Alliance For Progress: Policy Continuation Or Actual Reform?, Mario Mion
Honors Theses
The Alliance for Progress appears to falter within its own objectives. As such this is not unique to this aid program; other programs have encountered difficulties in their operation. However, the extent of the Alliance's failure to meet its stated goals raises the question of the efficacy of the program itself and, what is more significant, of the intent of the Alliance as a program of aid and as a tool for reform. In fact, the operational or mechanical difficulties per se are not surprising considering the obstacles Involved. Traditionally divergent economic and political patterns and social attitudes, here in …

Game Theory And Power Politics, Michael Decker
Game Theory And Power Politics, Michael Decker
Masters Theses
Preface
The contemporary argument over method reaches into all the traditional diversions of social science, of which political science is no exception. Such names as structure-functionalism, decision theory, systems analysis, behavioralism, and game theory have become commonplace identifications of political methodologies in the twentieth century. And if one consideration has generated this plethora of seemingly novel approaches to the study of politics, it is an epistemological one. Indeed, the argument seems to center around determining that kind of intellectual behavior which will best enable the student to understand political events.

It is proposed in what follows that, in the …
The Politics Of Urban Renewal In Outstate Michigan, Lewis E. Soli
The Politics Of Urban Renewal In Outstate Michigan, Lewis E. Soli
Masters Theses
The Challenge of the 60's
The city of the 1960's us awakening to its present condition and is attempting to take positive steps towards the alleviation or the solution of a multitude of problems. Typical of the problems is the erosion of the local tax base, a loss of population, an increase in crime and delinquency, and persistent demands by fringe area residents for extensions of municipal services. A problem that affects cities of all sizes is that of blight, deterioration, and decay. One method of dealing with this problem is through local participation in the Federally-sponsored urban renewal program. …
Order And Organization As Problems Of Developing Political Systems: Ghana And Nigeria, Hugh Michael Stevenson
Order And Organization As Problems Of Developing Political Systems: Ghana And Nigeria, Hugh Michael Stevenson
Masters Theses
Introduction
The study of political development has come to dominate that branch of the discipline of political science concerned with comparative politics. There is, however, a terminological and methodological confusion in the literature that is in need of clarification.
An Examination Of The Concepts And Critics Of The Theories Of Mass Society, Jeffrey Stephen Margolis
An Examination Of The Concepts And Critics Of The Theories Of Mass Society, Jeffrey Stephen Margolis
Masters Theses
Introduction
The quotations above are representative of the three prominent problems entertained by the theories of mass society; that is, freedom in the polity, freedom in the community, and inner directiveness, or freedom with one's own self. This series of problems involves the totality of existence.
Traditional philosophic speculation, the realm of the totality, demands an examination of man's concept of what he is, and what he is not, of what he sees, and that which he does not see. For the prescription "Know thyself" is not only a panegyric for introspective soul seeking; rather, it is an encomium on …
U.S. Foreign Aid Policy: Its Impact On Public Opinion, Jane L. Olson
U.S. Foreign Aid Policy: Its Impact On Public Opinion, Jane L. Olson
Masters Theses
Introduction
An analysis of the relationships between public policy and public opinion is vital to gaining an understanding and appreciation of the political process in the United States. According to democratic theory, citizens are to be free to express their views on issues and policy decisions. In a representative democracy the elected officials are supposed to carry out the wishes of their constituents. This study is directed toward analyzing the relationships between foreign aid policy and public opinion toward ten selected policy changes which have taken place since World War II. It focuses on the formal foreign aid program; and, …
An Exploratory Investigation Of The Indifferent Pattern Of Accommodation To Work-Related Organizations, John E. Blissick
An Exploratory Investigation Of The Indifferent Pattern Of Accommodation To Work-Related Organizations, John E. Blissick
Masters Theses
Introduction
In recent years there has been growing interest in the nature of workers' attitudes, values, and behavior.1 One area of special concern has been a particular behavior pattern frequently observed among blue collar workers called indifference, and it generally refers to a lack of identification with one's work and work organization. Indifference is a phenomenon which occurs among almost all major groups of workers to some degree, but it has been observed most often and in its most intense forms among blue collar workers. In various forms it has been called apathy, noninvolvement, and un-affectedness. It has been …
Father Charles E. Coughlin And The Formation Of The Union Party 1936, Michael H. Parsons
Father Charles E. Coughlin And The Formation Of The Union Party 1936, Michael H. Parsons
Masters Theses
Preface
On October 17, 1926, a young Irish-Catholic priest stood before the altar of his church in Royal Oak, Michigan and delivered a radio sermon. Within a decade, his voice, transmitted by thousands of radios, would be familiar to millions of Americans. Father Charles E. Coughlin had begun a stormy career that would earn him the title "radio priest" and make him one of the most controversial figures to appear on the American political scene in the depression-ridden 1930's.
...
In this study, I trace the development of Coughlin's disillusionment with the Roosevelt administration, analyze his contribution to the formation …
The Private Session In Michigan Council-Manager City Government, Dale H. Poel
The Private Session In Michigan Council-Manager City Government, Dale H. Poel
Masters Theses
Introduction
Norton Long has stated that "...under the deceptive uniformity of an apparently similar legal structure, a wide range of actual variance appears in the 'constitutions' of our local government."1 The concern of this study is one part of that wide range of variance: the private and/or informal sessions held by councils in Michigan council-manager cities. These sessions are part of that variance which, if not understood, must lead to tentativeness and uncertainty in generalizations on the local government process. They would include any meetings of the council and manager other than the formal public meeting. Instances in which …
Planning And Democracy In France, Larry G. Massanari
Planning And Democracy In France, Larry G. Massanari
Honors Theses
In the beginning of 1962, France launched its Fourth Plan to cover the period 1962-1965, and entered its sixteenth year of economic planning, Parodoxically, France which has so frequently seemed determined to demonstrate to the world an absolute incapacity for self-government has at the same time carried out a complicated experiment in economic planning, the results of which have frequently been brilliant; this is not to suggest that through planning the French have found answers to all of the many difficulties which still face them. It was immediately after World War II that France embarked upon their experiment in planning. …
Kalamazoo, Michigan, And The Formation Of The Republican Party Of Michigan, James M. Rigterink
Kalamazoo, Michigan, And The Formation Of The Republican Party Of Michigan, James M. Rigterink
Masters Theses
Introduction
When Judge Levi Baxter rapped for order in the afternoon of July 6, 1854, at Jackson, Michigan, his gavel echoed the discontent gripping the Old Northwest. "Fellow citizens of Michigan...," he said, "let us bow our heads and pray for success in the great enterprise which has brought us here."1 In the oak grove the heads of 4,000 people of conviction bowed in agreement.2 By evening of that day the Republican party of Michigan was an accomplished fact.
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the background of the Jackson convention of July 6, 1854, with …

An Analysis Of The Rapacki Plan To Denuclearize Central Europe, James R. Ozinga
Masters Theses
Introduction
In 1957, Adam Rapacki, Foreign Minister of Poland, proposed that a zone be created in Central Europe in which nuclear weapons of all kinds would be prohibited. The zone was to include the countries of West Germany, East Germany, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. This paper seeks to study that proposal in the light of its background and consequences. The purpose of such a study, beyond the hopeful accretion of knowledge, is to form conclusions based on the analysis of the proposal as the beginning of a solution to the political and military impasse in Central Europe.
The proposal will be …
A Study Of The Government Of Parchment, Michigan, Shirley Forbes Swenson
A Study Of The Government Of Parchment, Michigan, Shirley Forbes Swenson
Masters Theses
Introduction
Suburban-living has become a major part of our culture and the term has been widely accepted and interpreted to mean a distinctive way of life highly advantaged over life in strictly urban or rural settings. The first major move to the suburbs was by the wealthier segments of our society, and the gracious, leisurely pattern of living they sought still colors the popular image of the term "suburban."

Federal – Local Relations: A Case Study Of The City Of Kalamazoo In 1962, Glen L. Bachelder
Masters Theses
Purpose and Scope
It is the purpose of this paper to study the impact of federal government aid on Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1962. As a setting for the case study information, the development of federal aid programs as they affect municipal governments in the United States will be explored. The case study approach was selected since the bulk of material now available on the subject deals with the programs as viewed from the National Government level or as applied to the fifty states. Thus the idea of a detailed look at just one city as a recipient of federal aid …
The Radical Right And Its Influence Upon American Foreign Policy, David Stringer Roberts
The Radical Right And Its Influence Upon American Foreign Policy, David Stringer Roberts
Masters Theses
Introduction
This thesis is an exposition into the American radical right. It is the author's contention that expository writing has a role to play in thesis-writing, especially dealing with broad political problems such as the radical right movement.
The major "thesis" of this paper is that the radical right has an inordinate influence on the formulation of American foreign policy, out of all proportion to its actual numbers. All efforts will be made to prove this proposition.
The Congressional Phase Of The Military Budget, 1961: A Study In Civil Military Relations, Leland E. Hall
The Congressional Phase Of The Military Budget, 1961: A Study In Civil Military Relations, Leland E. Hall
Masters Theses
Introduction
Civilian control of the military in the United States is widely conceived to be Congressional control. The ultimate goal of Congressional procedures is believed to be the "effective Congressional--and civilian--control of the military establishment."1 It is questionable, however, if the United States Constitution intends Congress to be the instrument that exercises civilian control of the military.
