Staff Of The People? Assessing Progress In Descriptive Representation Under The Obama Administration, José D. Villalobos
Staff Of The People? Assessing Progress In Descriptive Representation Under The Obama Administration, José D. Villalobos
José D. Villalobos
Over the past few decades, presidents have made some increasingly noticeable efforts to fill their administrations with a higher number of minorities. Though not yet fully representative of the general public, such advances in descriptive representation are a sign of progressive change occurring within the executive branch, with positive potential implications for the state of representative democracy and public policy. In this article, I survey the current state of descriptive representation under the Obama presidency and the extent to which the president’s policy agenda has substantively addressed the needs of historically underrepresented groups. Descriptively, I find that President Barack Obama …
El Paso Economic Development System Review & Recommendations, Edward Feser
El Paso Economic Development System Review & Recommendations, Edward Feser
Edward J Feser
This report, commissioned by the City of El Paso, recommends that El Paso city government undertake a substantial reform of its economic development effort and that public and private sector stakeholders in the broader El Paso region mobilize to create an organizational vehicle for the kind of public‐private collaboration that is driving innovative economic development in many other major city‐regions in the United States. The analysis also calls for a stronger integration of physical, land use, and economic development planning activities in the city and region, consistent with a trend in international best practice in local and regional economic development.

Diseño Y Desarrollo Sustentable En Los Sistemas Productivos Regionales A Partir Del Parque Científico Y Tecnológico Medioambiental (Pcyt-M), Federico Del Giorgio Solfa, Ana Inés Lasala
Federico Del Giorgio Solfa
Las acciones gubernamentales tendientes a satisfacer las distintas demandas científico-técnicas de las pequeñas y medianas industrias (PyMIs), han encontrado en la instalación de los parques científicos y tecnológicos (PCyT), su mejor forma de institucionalización.
Los procesos experimentados, probados y desarrollados, aún siguen persiguiendo como ideal el modelo de Sillicon Valley, que tuvo su clímax en un lugar y tiempo determinado.
En los últimos años, diferentes PCyT en distintas partes del mundo, vienen desarrollándose (o al menos intentándolo), en los más diversos entramados industriales.
Si bien, en la actualidad existen diferentes tipologías de parques: científicos, tecnológicos, de investigación, tecnópolis, tecnopolos, etcétera; …

Comparative Analysis Of Municipal Public Services In Romania And The United States: The Case Of Water And Wastewater Services, Andrew Ewoh, Lucica Matei
Comparative Analysis Of Municipal Public Services In Romania And The United States: The Case Of Water And Wastewater Services, Andrew Ewoh, Lucica Matei
Andrew I.E. Ewoh
Some of the most important basic services provided by any level of government are the primary responsibility of municipalities, and urban managers devote more time and attention in making sure that these services are delivered. The availability of public services in any local jurisdiction usually depends on location, history, laws and regulations. Some local governments use alternative service delivery such as public-private partnerships, intergovernmental agreements, and contracting out or privatization. Using an exploratory case study approach, this paper provides a comparative analysis of water and wastewater services in Romania and the United States. Six cities were selected from both countries …

Housing And Human Services: Intergenerational Policy Considerations, Tony Carrizales, Andrew I.E. Ewoh
Housing And Human Services: Intergenerational Policy Considerations, Tony Carrizales, Andrew I.E. Ewoh
Andrew I.E. Ewoh
The Journal of Public Management and Social Policy begins its seventeenth volume by examining various issues that not only impact people today, but have policy implications for future generations. Intergenerational social policy is a critical discussion for academic and practitioners to continually have and we hope this particular issue of JPMSP furthers those discussions. Some underscoring themes found in this issue's articles include housing and human services. Overall, the issue brings together five general articles in the first issue of this seventeenth volume of JPMSP.
The Administrative System Of The European Union-From Concept To Reality, Lucica Matei, Ani Matei
The Administrative System Of The European Union-From Concept To Reality, Lucica Matei, Ani Matei
Ani Matei
At the beginning of the 21st century,
the European Union (EU) governance and
administration are undergoing some significant
transformations, not without obstacles, from concept
to reality, revealing characteristics that aim both the
European and national elements in a permanent
interpenetration, whose complexity is superior
to other processes and phenomena specific for
the construction of a United Europe. The major
objective of the current paper is to substantiate and
describe systemically the process of affirmation and
transformation of the EU administration as a core
pillar of European governance. A doctrinal overview
on the debated topic reveals an atypical concept in
terms …

Progress Delayed: State Of Tobacco Control Policymaking In Oklahoma From 2005-2011, Michael S. Givel, Ami E. Stearns, Andrew L. Spivak
Michael S. Givel
• Oklahoma’s 1987 Smoking In Public Places Act required the inclusion of smoking sections in restaurants and pre-empted more stringent local anti-tobacco laws with state regulations. • With the 2001 arrival of an aggressive new Commissioner of Health, Dr. Leslie Beitsch, the tide turned with new legislation (Senate Joint Resolution 21 in 2003) that prohibited smoking inside public places and required restaurants to build separately-ventilated “smoking rooms.” • In 2004, State Question 713 increased the cigarette tax by 55 cents per package. • Dr. Beitsch resigned in 2003 and since that time, efforts toward clean air have stalled. Although restaurants …
Where Does The Buck Stop? Applying Attribution Theory To Examine Public Appraisals Of The President, Cigdem V. Sirin, José D. Villalobos
Where Does The Buck Stop? Applying Attribution Theory To Examine Public Appraisals Of The President, Cigdem V. Sirin, José D. Villalobos
José D. Villalobos
This study applies attribution theory to examine public appraisals of the president. To date, most political science research on attribution theory has focused on domestic policy and no work has considered both domestic and foreign policy domains in tandem. To fill this gap, we formulate and experimentally test a series of hypotheses regarding the level of responsibility and credit/blame that individuals attribute to the president in both policy domains across varying policy conditions. We also consider how party compatibility affects people’s attribution judgments. Our findings provide a new contribution to the literature on political attributions, executive accountability, and public perceptions …

Promises And Human Rights: The Obama Administration On Immigrant Detention Policy Reform, José D. Villalobos
Promises And Human Rights: The Obama Administration On Immigrant Detention Policy Reform, José D. Villalobos
José D. Villalobos
This article evaluates the Obama administration’s efforts towards reforming U.S. immigration detention policies. Over the past decade, immigrant rights advocates have increasingly criticized certain policies of the U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) system of immigration detention, including the widespread use of private contractors, lack of proper oversight, grouping of violent criminals and non-violent undocumented immigrants (particularly minority women and children) in holding cells, and neglect of detained immigrants in need of medical attention. In reviewing these developments, I contend that the Obama administration must take substantive steps towards reforming the existing system, particularly by instituting legally enforceable standards with …
Information Workers In The Academy: The Case Of Librarians And Archivists At The University Of Western Ontario, Melanie Mills
Information Workers In The Academy: The Case Of Librarians And Archivists At The University Of Western Ontario, Melanie Mills
Melanie Mills
For much of its history, the organizational culture for academic librarians and archivists at The University of Western Ontario was primarily a culture of the practitioner. While librarians and archivists supported teaching, research and service at Western, they did not directly engage in it. As a result of grassroots efforts undertaken by members of Western’s academic community in the mid-2000s however, the potential contributions of information workers to the teaching, research and service mandate of University began to garner recognition. Born out of this collective awakening, a successful union drive and shortly thereafter an inaugural Collective Agreement for The University …

The Role Of Public-Nonprofit Partnerships In The Delivery Of Public Goods And Services, Andrew Ewoh
The Role Of Public-Nonprofit Partnerships In The Delivery Of Public Goods And Services, Andrew Ewoh
Andrew I.E. Ewoh
While collaboration between public and nonprofit sector has a long history in the United States, such partnerships around the world have proliferated with the emergence of new public management that dates back to the early 1990s about a few years after the Romanian citizens gained the right to form nongovernmental organizations. Most scholars see the evolution of the nonprofit sector as a response to the failure of government to provide public goods and services. The purpose of this discourse as it relates to the 9th International Congress theme is to explore the role of public-nonprofit partnerships (PNPs) in accomplishing public …

Do Immigration Networks Of Connectivity Facilitate Illegal Immigration?, Kattalina Berriochoa, Gregory Hill
Do Immigration Networks Of Connectivity Facilitate Illegal Immigration?, Kattalina Berriochoa, Gregory Hill
Gregory C. Hill
Illegal immigration is one of the most contentious policy issues facing the United States. This analysis seeks to address the factors that influence the persistence of immigration through illegal means and the effects of these immigrants in a receiving country. We posit the hypothesis that illegal immigration persists due to the increasingly connected networks between receiving and sending countries. We utilized a comprehensive overview of recent literature and interviews with undocumented immigrants to present an analysis of the individual incentives, social networks, and structural factors that amalgamate to generate the practice of illegal immigration. This paper will present illegal immigration …

Much Ado About Nothing?: Undocumented Students And Student Performance, Greg Hill, Daniel Hawes
Gregory C. Hill
In 2009 alone, over 1500 bills relating to immigration were considered by all 50 states, resulting in over 350 new laws and resolutions. Indeed, immigration policy, and particularly illegal immigration, is a salient topic for state and local policy makers and those who are responsible for implementing public policy. Arguably, this increased salience in immigration policy is driven by at least two factor; 1) a failure to comprehensively address immigration policy at a national level and 2) political and media attention on anecdotal claims regarding the deleterious costs illegal immigrants have society. With respect to education policy, since 2005, 74 …

Project VETS Intervention Program (PVIP) – Hamilton County, Ohio In early 2010 Hamilton County, Ohio was chosen as the pilot site for a federally funded jail diversion intervention program – the project was named Project VETS Intervention Program (PVIP). The SAMHSA National Gains Center awarded the State of Ohio grant money as part of its second round of funding, which was aimed at helping the existing and increasing veteran criminally justice involved population, and their families, with a priority given to Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans who have suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)/Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
