The Limits To Openness: The Impact Of Glasnost' And Perestroika On The Baltic Republics, Susan Faye Davis
The Limits To Openness: The Impact Of Glasnost' And Perestroika On The Baltic Republics, Susan Faye Davis
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
The Baltic Republics occupy a unique position within the Soviet Union. They are the most Western, the most industrialized, the most efficient and the most productive of all Soviet republics. As such, they epitomize the goals of Gorbachev's reforms. If the leadership were to crack down on the current manifestations of nationalistic unrest and on the recently established quasi-political popular organizations in the Baltic, the result would be a chilling effect on the entire reform process. Therefore, the Baltic Republics, as long as their goal remains the support of perestroika, are being allowed to advance previously unacceptable demands including autonomy …

Community Health Decisions: An Analysis Of A Grassroots Venture Into Citizen Participation In Health Care Policy Prioritization Issues, Michele Bonnee-Nichols
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Health care policymaking has been largely a closed system in which policymaking experts, special interest groups, and politicians have joined forces to decide what was best for the health care of the American people.
