ETI Publications

To assist the Milwaukee Area Workforce Investment Board, the Employment and Training Institute examined the demographics and employment history of 48,131 workers in Milwaukee County receiving federal unemployment insurance (UI) in 2nd Quarter of 2009. Five quarters of wages were examined for these workers. The workers included a number of difficult-to-serve populations (unduplicated counts): 7,232 were ex-offenders in the Department of Corrections system; 5,240 were or had been W-2 clients; 2,097 other single parents who had received Wisconsin Shares childcare subsidies; and 3,971 were other parents (with school-age children) on other public assistance (FoodShare, BadgerCare Plus).

Indicators Of Economic Need In The Milwaukee Metro Area: July 2010 Update, Lois M. Quinn, John Pawasarat

ETI Publications

The Employment and Training Institute prepared indicators of economic need for the Greater Milwaukee Foundation "Vital Signs" project to help track the impact of the recession on local counties and the metro area. Monthly changes and analyses were posted for BadgerCare Plus enrollments, families receiving W-2 (TANF) income support, FoodShare recipients, home foreclosure court filings, laid-off workers on unemployment insurance, and unemployment rates (2009-2011). These reports summarize the findings for the Milwaukee metropolitan area and for Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington, and Waukesha counties.

Haiti Needs Socialism, David E. Clark 2010 Clark & Towne, PC

Haiti Needs Socialism, David E. Clark

David E Clark

Bill Clinton said that the Tsunami survivors six years ago deserved the chance to decide their own future. Haiti deserves the same hands-off approach as they rebuild after the 2010 earthquake. Aristide should be allowed to return and work with Venezuela and Cuba. If he decides to implement the same socialist reforms that have worked elsewhere in the Americas, so be it.

Canada: Managing Diversity And Social Cohesion Under Bill C-50 And Beyond, Hristina Petrova

Hristina Petrova

The recent changes in the Canadian immigration system have led to the development of other programs designed to attract highly skilled immigrants. Bill C-50 was implemented in order to reduce the immigration backlog and match supply with demand on the labour market. Whatever the scheme, there’s one particular group of immigrants whose entry into the country has been encouraged via numerous parallel initiatives – the one of international students. Their retention is strategic because they could be just what Canada needs – young people proficient in the official languages, with Canadian credentials and work experience.


Agency-Specific Precedents, Robert L. Glicksman, Richard E. Levy 2010 George Washington University Law School

Agency-Specific Precedents, Robert L. Glicksman, Richard E. Levy

Robert L. Glicksman

As a field of legal study and practice, administrative law rests on the premise that legal principles concerning agency structure, administrative process, and judicial review cut across multiple agencies. In practice, however, judicial precedents addressing the application of administrative law doctrines to a given agency tend to rely most heavily on other cases involving the same agency, and use verbal formulations or doctrinal approaches reflected in those cases. Over time, the doctrine often begins to develop its own unique characteristics when applied to that particular agency. These “agency-specific precedents” deviate from the conventional understanding of the relevant principles as a …


Growing Ethnopolitical Conflict And The Challenge Of "One" Nigeria: Politics Of State Building In A Multiethnic Society, 1960-2010, Ali Simon Yusufu Bagaji 2010 Kogi State University, Anyigba, Kogi State, Nigeria

Growing Ethnopolitical Conflict And The Challenge Of "One" Nigeria: Politics Of State Building In A Multiethnic Society, 1960-2010, Ali Simon Yusufu Bagaji

Ali Simon Yusufu Bagaji

Since October 1, 1960 when Nigeria attained political independence, it has being witnessing a steady growth of ethnopolitical and religious crises in its body politics. The central concern of this paper is that, ethnopolitical conflicts are posing great challenge to Nigeria’s unity, sovereignty and legitimacy that may lead to its consequential collapse. The worry of this paper is that, rather than diminishing after over five decades of political independence, ethnopolitical conflict has since the 1990s not only become more ferocious and alarming, but are also shifting from ethnic accommodation to ethnic self-determination. This paper is part of an ongoing PhD …


The Political Economy Of Telecoms And Electricity Internationalization In The Single Market, Judith Clifton, Daniel Díaz-Fuentes, Revuelta Julio 2010 Universidad de Cantabria

The Political Economy Of Telecoms And Electricity Internationalization In The Single Market, Judith Clifton, Daniel Díaz-Fuentes, Revuelta Julio

Judith Clifton

As a consequence of liberalization policies in the European Union (EU), a number of formerly inward-looking incumbents in telecommunications and electricity transformed themselves into some of the world’s leading Multinationals. The relationship between liberalization and incumbent internationalization, however, is contested. Three political economy arguments on this relationship are tested. The first claims that incumbents most exposed to domestic liberalization would internationalise most. The second asserts that incumbents operating where liberalization was restricted could exploit monopolistic rents to finance internationalisation. The third argument claims that a diversity of paths will be adopted by countries and incumbents vis-à-vis liberalization and internationalization. Using …


Evaluating Eu Policies On Public Services: A Citizens' Approach, Judith Clifton, Daniel Díaz-Fuentes 2010 Universidad de Cantabria

Evaluating Eu Policies On Public Services: A Citizens' Approach, Judith Clifton, Daniel Díaz-Fuentes

Judith Clifton

This article evaluates EU policies on public services – particularly public network services - from the citizens´ point of view. It is first argued that citizens´ perceptions are important because the provision of fundamental services is at stake and because they constitute the infrastructure necessary for social and economic development. Citizens’ “voice” can, therefore, be known, analysed and used in the design of improved policy on public services along with other indicators. Changing EU policy on public services is synthesised and classified into two main phases in section two. Citizen satisfaction with public services as revealed through surveys from 1997 …

From ‘Knowledge Use’ Towards ‘Boundary Work’. Sketch Of An Emerging New Agenda For Inquiry Into Science-Policy Interaction., Robert Hoppe 2010 University of Twente

From ‘Knowledge Use’ Towards ‘Boundary Work’. Sketch Of An Emerging New Agenda For Inquiry Into Science-Policy Interaction., Robert Hoppe

Robert Hoppe

This chapter is about a new agenda for inquiry into the relationships between science and public policy. So far, most research has conceptualised this relationship in terms of knowledge utilisation and downstream impact on the policy process. However, this leads to over-instrumentalisation and serious attenuation of expert advice. Therefore, I propose a new perspective: interaction through boundary work, a concept expressing how expert advice simultaneously demarcates and coordinates science and public policy. Research shows that there are many different types of boundary work depending on various types of policy problems. This chapter concludes with a proposal for a multilevel model, …

Working For Policy, Chicago University Press And Amsterdam University Press, Robert Hoppe, Hal Colebatch, Mirko Noordegraaf

Robert Hoppe

Hal Colebatch, Rob Hoppe and Mirko Noordegraaf (eds.) Working for Policy by Amsterdam University Press and Chicago University Press There are now many people involved in ‘making policy’, but there is not a great deal written about how they do it. Most of the books on policy tend to refer obliquely, if at all, to the actual practice of policy work, and offer little guidance to policy workers or students of policy. ‘Policy work’ seems to be something that you learn on the job. This book addresses directly the nature of policy work. It blends academic and experiential knowledge of …


New Developments In Developmental Research On Social Information Processing And Antisocial Behavior, Reid G. Fontaine 2010 University of Arizona

New Developments In Developmental Research On Social Information Processing And Antisocial Behavior, Reid G. Fontaine

Reid G. Fontaine

The Special Section on developmental research on social information processing (SIP) and antisocial behavior is here introduced. Following a brief history of SIP theory, comments on several themes—measurement and assessment, attributional and interpretational style, response evaluation and decision, and the relation between emotion and SIP—that tie together four new empirical investigations are provided. Notable contributions of these studies are highlighted.
