The Public Policy Yearbook is now in its fourth itera;on and con;nues to serve a useful tool for examining recent changes in public policy scholarship over the past several years. The Yearbook itself has changed considerably over ;me: in addi;on to providing a detailed interna;onal lis;ng of policy scholars with contact informa;on, fields of specializa;on, research references 1, and individual scholars’ statements of current and future research interests, the September 2011 Yearbook made its debut online as a versa;le web-‐tool. The Yearbook’s content is now accessible, in searchable form, via the internet-‐providing links to scholars’ bios, ar;cles, abstracts and review ar;cles. Individuals can now search for a scholar’s profile according to name, geographic loca;on, ins;tu;on, or research interests. The online Yearbook also includes retrospec;ve research reviews for specific theore;cal and substan;ve policy subfields. These peer-‐reviewed ar;cles summarize the most recent developments (primarily over the past two years) in scholarship in specific policy subfields. The online Yearbook allows for in-‐text cita;ons to be ac;vated, taking readers directly to scholars’ bios and provides lis;ngs of addi;onal scholars with similar research interests. By providing a snapshot of scholarship in par;cular domains, the Yearbook provides a quick and accessible reference to the current state of scholarship on all aspects of public policy, as well as indica;ons of future research direc;ons. This allows public policy scholars to gain visibility and it facilitates networking within the policy research community. The contents of the latest edi;on are summarized below.
Methodology & Characterizing Yearbook Public Policy Scholars
Since the Yearbook’s incep;on in 2009, we have employed a convenience and referral sampling strategy. One of the difficul;es with iden;fying the field of “public policy scholars” lies in the mul;disciplinary nature of the field. Policy scholars work and operate within a wide rage of ins;tu;onal seUngs, making it difficult to iden;fy the ideal sampling frame that captures the full popula;on. Our sampling frame came from the listed members of the American Poli;cal Science Associa;on APSA Public Policy Sec;on and the Policy Studies Organiza;on. In 2012, we sent out 4758 invita;ons. In addi;on, we sent out invita;ons to 358 public policy and public administra;on departments across the United States, asking the head of each department to forward the invita;on to public policy faculty members, graduate students, or affiliates. Lastly, 1 Please note that while entries were reviewed for apparent errors, scholars’ publica;ons are listed as the par;cipa;ng scholars provided them. ii
our member upda;ng system allows for current and new members to offer contact informa;on for fellow colleagues and graduate students that should be included. Due to challenges with accurately accoun;ng for inoperable emails, duplicated contacts, and mass-‐department invita;ons, it is impossible to calculate a precise response rate. The 2012 Yearbook has 662 members, giving us a tenuous response rate of 14%. As will be shown, we expect this sample to represent a decent representa;on of public policy scholars, par;cularly those ac;ve in the United States. But we are less confident about the validity of the sample of scholars outside of the United States. Although this sampling strategy depicts an incomplete picture, the documenta;on of trends spanning four years makes significant headway in characterizing the policy field as a whole. Furthermore, many of the research trends in the 2012 Yearbook parallel research pacerns found within the publica;ons of the Policy Studies Journal between 2004-‐2009 (deLeon et al. 2010). Our recrui;ng effort took place in September 2011. Scholars received invita;ons to join the 2012 Yearbook by email. To become a member, individual scholars were asked to complete an online form that collected a broad range of informa;on including: their contact informa;on and ins;tu;onal and departmental affilia;on; three of their most recent publica;ons; a brief paragraph that summarized their current and future research agenda; to categorize their research interests according to 5 theore;cal and 11 substan;ve policy subfields; and provide a few descrip;ve sta;s;cs such as gender, years of experience as a scholar, and official job ;tle. The 662 public policy scholars from the 2012 Yearbook reside in 28 countries across the globe, including: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Chile, China, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico, Nepal, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, South Korea, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Netherlands, United Kingdom and the United States of America (see Figure 1). Since 2010, the number of interna;onal scholars has more than doubled, but approximately 80% of current members reside within the United States (see Figure 2). Twenty-‐eight percent of Yearbook members are female and the average reported years of experience in policy research was 20 years. Figure 3 shows self-‐reported job ;tles from Yearbook members. Most listed scholars iden;fied as full professors.

Policy Scholarship: New Developments, Snapshots and Trends
The Yearbook provides users with several different indicators for evalua;ng current trends in policy scholarship. This includes two-‐year retrospec;ve research reviews, as well as descrip;ve indicators reported by individual scholars that summarize and characterize their evolving research agendas. Scholars were asked both to provide a detailed summary of their research agenda and to self-‐iden;fy their research according to five theore;cal categories and eleven substan;ve focus areas. These indicators provide us with an interes;ng snapshot of recent research developments.
Beginning in 2011, the Yearbook editors sought advanced graduate students working with leading public policy scholars to write review essays that characterize the recent scholarship in selected theore;cal and substan;ve domains. Previous essays covered topics including: agenda-‐seUng (Pump 2011); policy analysis (Carlson 2011); policy history (deLeon & Gallagher 2011); policy process theories (Nowlin 2011); public opinion (Mullinix 2011); defense and security (Ripberger 2011); educa;on policy (Conner & Rabovsky 2011); and governance (Robichau 2011). These essays synthesize published work, interpret how the literature is developing over ;me, and postulate on future research trajectories. While public policy scholars are ac;vely producing a broad array of new and innova;ve research each year, this special issue contains key developments from four substan;ve domains, which include the following:
v
•
ComparaEve Public Policy: Kuhika Gupta (2012) discusses recent efforts among policy scholars to use the compara;ve method to analyze how and why policies differ across countries. Furthermore, scholars are u;lizing compara;ve strategies to evaluate and improve leading policy process theories. Perhaps most importantly, compara;ve public policy scholars are inves;ga;ng how the compe;ng process theories differ across ins;tu;onal configura;ons.
•
Economic Policy: Barry Pump (2012) reviews recent scholarship on American economic policymaking, summarizing the literature on income inequality, the impact of economic condi;ons on electoral outcomes and ins;tu;onal responses to economic developments. Pump also discusses pathways for economic policy research that may be of par;cular interest to policy process scholars.
•
Environmental Policy: Mark Lubell and Meredith Niles (2012) review current scholarship in environmental policy, focusing specifically on environmental policy tools. Flexible market-‐based instruments, voluntary agreements and informa;on provision tools are being u;lized for resolving current environmental issues. Lubell and Niles also discuss how scholars are adop;ng mul;disciplinary approaches to becer explain environmental outcomes.
•
Health Policy: A ;mely piece given the recent changes in health policy, Simon Haeder (2012) summarizes current developments in health policy scholarship. Health policy scholars have u;lized several frameworks, including pivotal poli;cs, path dependence and mul;ple streams, to explain the enactment of health reform. In his review, Haeder also discusses challenges for implementa;on regarding state-‐federal rela;ons and cost containment. Each of these ar;cles (published in the Policy Studies Journal as well as online in the Yearbook) will be updated (though with different authors) every three years to assure con;nuity in tracking the evolu;on of policy scholarship. Prior years’ review ar;cles are accessible directly from the online Yearbook.
A quite different way to illustrate current trends among policy scholars’ work is to scan the “current research and future direc;ons” summaries in the Yearbook entries. When upda;ng their profile informa;on, Yearbook scholars are asked to provide a short paragraph that details their current research agendas and future research projects. Scholars may be as brief or as specific as they choose. For example, sample entries included:
•
“Scoc W. Allard is Associate Professor in the School of Social Service Administra;on at the University of Chicago. His primary research interests are in vi
social welfare policy, poverty, and nonprofit organiza;ons. To becer understand the contours of social service provision in the U.S., a sector with about $200 billion in annual expenditures, he recently completed two surveys of more than 2,000 governmental and nonprofit social service providers in seven urban and rural communi;es. Complemen;ng this work, Professor Allard has several projects exploring the changing geography of poverty in America and the evolu;on of the contemporary safety net.service provision in the U.S., a sector with about $200 billion in annual expenditures, he recently completed two surveys of more than 2,000 governmental and nonprofit social service providers in seven urban and rural communi;es. Complemen;ng this work, Professor Allard has several projects exploring the changing geography of poverty in America and the evolu;on of the contemporary safety net.”
•
Ann Bowman’s entry included: “My substan;ve policy interests include environmental protec;on, economic development, and land use. Most of my work has focused on subna;onal levels of government. If viewed in terms of the policy stages framework, my research typically involves the adop;on and implementa;on stages.”
By using these summaries of public policy scholarship as data, we can track current and over-‐;me varia;ons in the substan;ve and theore;cal work, as well as methodological approaches to public policy scholarship. 2 Figure 4 captures the primary words employed in the summaries of current research for the 2012 Yearbook. 3 2 These data show trends in the research of public policy scholars who par;cipate in the Yearbook, rather than the universe of policy scholars. The geographic and demographic changes in Yearbook scholars were described above, in the methodology sec;on of this ar;cle.
3 This word cloud was constructed using the R-‐package “wordcloud.” (Accessed at: hcp://cran.r-‐project.org/web/
packages/wordcloud/index.html). We included the complete text from each of the “current research and future direc;ons” paragraphs from all 2012 Yearbook profiles. The rela;ve size of each term represents the frequency with which that term appeared. For the final analysis, we excluded non-‐substan;vely relevant words; for example, “Dr.”; “professor”; “significantly”; “currently”; etc..
vii
Figure 4. The relaEve size of each term denotes frequency with which key terms appear in the lisEng of “current and future research expectaEons” secEon of this volume.
The public policy word cloud highlights the popularity of research interests in the environment, governance, health, management and science, as well as in analysis and process-‐
oriented research. These trends are reflected more broadly in scholars’ self-‐iden;fica;ons across 16 subfields of public policy.4 The five theore;cal categories include: policy process theory; policy analysis and evalua;on; agenda-‐seUng, adop;on and implementa;on; public opinion; and policy history. In addi;on, scholars are also asked to self-‐iden;fy their research interests across eleven substan;ve categories, which include: compara;ve public policy; defense and security; economic policy; educa;on policy; environmental policy; governance; health policy; interna;onal rela;ons; law and policy; science and technology policy; and social policy. Figure 5 and Figure 6 show the number of scholars in each of these subfields over the past three years. Scholars can be represented in more than one category. The total number of scholars in the 2012 edi;on (662 individuals) has grown by 22% since 2011 (545 individuals). Although there was overall growth in frequencies across all five theore;cal areas, the largest growth was in scholars that study policy analysis and evalua;on. Furthermore, the largest growth over the past three years in substan;ve fields was in the areas of governance, compara;ve public policy and health policy.
4 When upda;ng their profiles, scholars are asked to check off as many categories as they choose to describe their research agenda.

Another revealing way to characterize pacerns in public policy scholarship is to analyze the combina;ons of substan;ve and theore;cal foci pursued by policy scholars. Figure 7 is a bubble plot that analyzes the propor;on of scholars that chose certain substan;ve areas in addi;on to each theore;cal area. Because scholars can choose more than one substan;ve area, the columns do not add to 100%. Furthermore, for clarity, the graph only specifies percentages greater than 20%. For example, of the 278 scholars who study policy process theory, 55.8% (or 155) also study governance, 44.6% (or 123) study science and technology policy, and 42.1% (or 117) said they study environmental policy. The highlighted light blue bubbles show the combina;on of theore;cal foci and substan;ve area with the highest frequency of responses.
Looking across all the theore;cal areas, the largest propor;on that also studied compara;ve public policy was within policy process theories. By contrast, scholars who study economic or educa;on policy most frequently cross-‐selected policy analysis as a theore;cal focus area. Perhaps of par;cular interest are the gaps evident in Figure 7; the smaller “bubbles” indicate rela;vely unpopulated areas of research in public policy.

Expanding the Scope of the Yearbook and Scholar Updates.
Our intent is to con;nue to broaden par;cipa;on in the Yearbook to ensure that it remains the most broadly representa;ve source for informa;on on current policy scholarship across the globe. As editors of the 2012 Public Policy Yearbook, we are grateful to all of the respondents who took the ;me to respond to several emails and persistent prodding to update their entries for the 2012Yearbook. To ease the process of upda;ng profiles, scholars will now be able to access their profiles directly and make changes by visi;ng the Yearbook website. These changes will be incorporated into the full content (aqer editorial review) on a quarterly basis. In September of 2012, we will mount a full campaign by sending invita;ons once again to current and new policy scholars to update their entries in the Yearbook. Furthermore, we hope Yearbook membership con;nues to grow as current members provide referrals for colleagues, prac;;oners and students who engage in public policy scholarship. We will con;nue our efforts to include faculty from public policy schools and departments across the globe, as well as reaching out to graduate students and post-‐docs in public policy that make up the next genera;on of leading public policy scholars. We ask that current members assist in this effort by forwarding our invita;ons to affiliate policy scholars and graduate students.
The design and produc;on of the Yearbook could not have been accomplished without the help of many hands. We would like to thank Machew Henderson for the design and implementa;on of the online survey that is essen;al for data collec;on, as well as the online website, web-‐tools, and data graphics. In addi;on, we thank Savannah Collins for her assistance with checking and edi;ng entries, and Tom Rabovsky and Joe Ripberger for their assistance on data analysis and the produc;on of graphics. Furthermore, we extend par;cular thanks to David Merchant and apprecia;on for the people at Wiley-‐Blackwell, especially Kivmars Bowling, Joshua Gannon, and Kris Bishop. Finally, we are especially grateful for the con;nuing financial support and encouragement by Dr. Paul Rich, President of the Policy Studies Organiza;on.
We hope that you will find the 2012 Yearbook to be a useful resource in your work on public policy, and that you will con;nue to update your entries for publica;on in future issues. We apologize for any errors that may have escaped our quality control processes. 5 Hank C. Jenkins-‐Smith,

Current Research Agenda and Future Expectations:
My scholarship focuses on the environmental governance challenge of informing policy with sophisticated social and ecological
science while simultaneously increasing transparency and participation in the development, implementation, and enforcement of
environmental laws and regulations. Because we often see environmental problems and solutions in only technical or democratic
prisms, environmental governance suffers. We do need better science and better democracy, but most importantly, we need a better
integration of both. The messy convergence and resolution of these rationalizing and democratizing impulses is a prominent feature of
my research programs on environmental justice, environmental information disclosure, and the conservation of biodiversity.

I continue to focus primarily on issues of allocation and management in the National Wilderness Preservation System. A revised
edition of my book The Politics of Wilderness Preservation was recently published by the University of Alaska Press, and I and
nearing completion of a new book that focuses on the politics and policy of wilderness management. It will explore the legal
framework for wilderness preservation in the United States, the implementation of that framework by four competing land
management agencies, and issues raised by the effort to preserve natural conditions on public lands. Among the issue areas explored
are questions of air quality and visibility; water resource allocation; fauna, flora and fire management; recreational regulation; and
Native-American cultural accommodation.

Much of my work focuses on the evolution of policy, legal, and social institutions towards integrated and multimodal approaches to
complex, nonlinear, dynamic, and multifaceted problems at the intersection of land, water, and the environment. Building on prior
works on "wet growth" policies (i.e., integration of land use, water use, and water quality), the public trust doctrine and water
stewardship, the concept of property as a web of interests, the land use regulatory system as a complex adaptive system, and adaptive
watershed planning, my current work involves an extensive set of case studies of watershed institutions. I seek to understand
diversity, complexity, outcomes, and evolution of watershed institutions. Other current projects include co-authoring one of the first
major Environmental Sustainability Law and Policy textbooks, and studying the varying conceptions of time and rationality in takings
law doctrines as they apply to delays in land-use and environmental permitting.

declining use of capital punishment. My most recent book appeared in 2009 concerns the efforts of lobbyists in Washington to

I have just commenced work on a post-doctoral project, Explaining Teacher Practices in Danish Schools and Their Impact on Student
Performance, which uses data from 2011 national surveys of school principals and ninth grade Mathematics and Danish teachers.
Drawing on the literature on leadership and implementation, it will examine the role of attitudinal and behavioral factors such as
school leadership and teachers’ coping strategies. Side by side I have another research project dealing with the implementation of
policy for vulnerable children and youth in Denmark. It aims to examine through a series of papers the influence of factors operating
at different levels of the municipality, such as elected representatives on the municipal council, municipal CEOs and caseworkers, on
how policy is implemented at the frontline.

I am developing my analysis of public sector reform, with emphasis on the interaction between governments and markets. I intend to
combine theoretical, empirical, and historical approaches. Also, I am working on the policy implications from the theoretical and
empirical analysis on privatization and regulation. An important part of my research efforts are devoted to the empirical analysis of
privatization, regulation and government reform. In the domain of local government I focus on competition, intermunicipal
cooperation and costs. In the domain of transport infrastructure, I am conducting research on the analysis of privatization and
regulation of airports and on public private partnerships on toll motorways Regarding the historical analysis of privatization, I am
building new analysis based on my research on privatization in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, and on the first democratic
privatization experience, Puerto Rico 1948-1950. Based on this ongoing research, I plan to develop a more comprehensive analysis on
the history of privatization. This will lead to a comparative analysis of privatization under dictatorships and under democracies. The
main hypothesis is that authoritarian privatization is more linked to political objectives, whereas democratic privatization is more
closely related to improving efficiency. Besides, transparency under democracy is connected to less corruption in privatization.
Furthermore, I plan to open a new line of research, oriented to analyze the factors that explain secessions and formation of new states.
This research needs to be of multidisciplinary characteristics, gathering background in economics, political science, sociology of
organizations, management of organizations, and psychology.

the University of Ottawa. I am currently working on the politics of fiscal federalism in Australian, Canada, India, South Africa, and
the United States. Additionally. I am currently writing about social policy reform in countries as different as Canada, China, Ghana,
and the United States, among others. Recently, I also began exploring the politics of taxation, especially as it relates to social policy
issues. Finally, with Christopher Howard (William & Mary) and Kimberly Morgan (George Washington University), I am editing the

implementation. I am also embarking on a long-term, large project that seeks to meld and improve up on the organizational learning
and policy learning literatures to develop new theories of policy change.

I am primarily interested in incorporating knowledge and methodologies in other disciplines, particularly Industrial Organization, to
Education research. One of my research projects involves using NYC student-level high school data. I want to focus primarily on
estimating, as reliably as possible, the demand curve for high schools in NYC. Another research project will revolve around
understanding how post-secondary institutions,particularly private 2 and 4 year institutions, make important and strategic positioning
decisions in a competitive landscape similarly to firms. Understanding a college entry and exit decisions is relevant in this respect. If
colleges made entry decisions in isolation, it would be a relatively simple matter to adapt existing discrete-choice models of consumer
choice to college entry choices. In concentrated markets, however, college entry decisions are interdependent – both within and
sometimes across product markets. These interdependencies considerably complicate the formulation and estimation of market
structure models. Finally, using data on a labor survey from Mexico which includes a module for individuals aged 18-34 asking them,
not only about their current and previous jobs and wages but also their educational trajectory ( how many years of education, what
high school and college they attended, if and why they dropped out of school, etc), I am interested in understanding how school
quality affects future labor outcomes.

My research analyzes the role of interest groups in the public policy process, looking specifically at the way that these actors impact
agenda setting. In my current book project, I explore the use of framing techniques by environmental advocacy organizations to link
policy solutions to different public issues over time as a way to sustain interest in policy proposals. I examine the strategic
considerations that govern these framing decisions, as well as the way in which groups engage in framing contests to control the
public image of a problem. I am also interested in how advocacy groups address unique and/or especially difficult policy challenges,
such as promoting policy solutions that involve inherent trade-offs, the effect of crisis (as both an opportunity and constraint) on
policy advocacy, and the risks and rewards of direct confrontation of one's policy competitors.

The primary focus of my policy research has been woven around four subtexts: urban land use and economic development,
globalization and transportation, public agency management, and policy consequences (agency performance, socioeconomic equity
and environmental quality). To date, this work has been reported in five books, over two dozen referred journal articles, and numerous
professional conference presentations. In the early period (1970-1985), my principal work was on corporate-inspired development of
rural resort/recreation communities, and is best found in the book,Land Use Conflicts (University of Illinois Press, 1982) which
examined alternative approaches to government policymaking in dealing with the consequences of rural transformations. In the mid
1980s, my research shifted to globalization and maritime trade. Its principal focus was on public entrepreneurial behavior during the
"container revolution" at American seaports. The research is comprehensively reported in the book, Strategic Design and
Organizational Change (University of Alabama Press, 1988). In the 1990s, my research interests shifted to urban infrastructure policy
with a focus on regional public transit agencies. The research is found in the book, Social Class, Politics and Urban Markets (Stanford
University Press, 2002), which examines agency policy outcomes and their consequences for different regional constituencies. It
received the 2003 best book in public policy from the Academy of Management. My work since 2003 is on globalization and its value
in differentiating American cities. The research is multi-faceted. First, given the inadequacy of "global city" definitions, the research
has constructed a theory-driven profile of 7 dimensions to empirically discern global from less-global cities. Work on this has been
reported internationally at conferences and is published in the January, 2008 issue of Urban Studies. Second, in work underway, the
composite is being used both as a dependent variable dealing with socioeconomic and governmental antecedents of the global city
and as an independent variable looking at global-city consequences (i.e., socioeconomic polarization, traffic congestion,
environmental sustainability, culture and lifestyle).

Current work is on the policy and societal impacts of science and technology, with a particular focus on the regulatory challenges
posed by nanotechnology. I am Principal Investigator on a four year National Science Foundation funded project, "Nanotechnology in
the Public Interest," (SES #0609078) that evaluates federal and state government capacity--e.g., sufficiency in scientific expertise,
legal authority, organizational design, and relevant regulatory frameworks--to address societal and policy challenges posed by
emerging nanoscale innovations and products, and, where appropriate, make recommendations for building requisite capacity to
address these challenges. More information on this and related projects is found at <http://nsrg.neu.edu>.

My current research is on various aspects of state politics and policy. I continue work considering the institutional and contextual
forces influencing judicial outcomes in state supreme courts. To this end, I am exploring how litigant behavior is shaped by court
appellate structure and how this, in turn, influences judicial decision-making. I am also examining the comparative productivity of
state supreme courts using production function analysis to assay why courts in similar environments with comparable resources
nonetheless produce widely varying numbers of cases. Lastly, following up on my past studies of state economic development, I have
written an essay considering commonalities in the process of state development efforts since the American revolution, highlighting
the competitive pressures created by federalism that produces a limited search for innovation followed by routine emulation.
Development policies commonly exaggerate collective benefits while socializing costs. Initial success in innovation in some states
stimulates pressures for emulation in other. Emulated policies yield diminished returns as more states adopt them. Across our history,
the political process of mobilizing for economic development has irregularly and rarely been tied to conditions that promote broadbased economic gains.

I have also worked in comparative higher education policy vis a vis the optimal structure for public systems including technical
colleges, community colleges, baccalaureate/liberal arts institutions, master's-level teaching institutions, and doctoral-level research
institutions. I have taught at all levels of public higher education and I have worked in institutional research, assessment, strategic

My research focuses on energy technology innovation policy, and generally fits into three sub-categories: the evaluation of state
energy policy instruments; energy-based economic development; public perceptions about new energy technologies. (1) State energy
policy instruments: Over the past two decades state governments have taken the lead in energy and climate policy. States have
individually adopted a variety of policy instruments that target energy technology innovation, with objectives to diversify state energy
resources or mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, or both. This body of research contains articles that consider the effects and test the
effectiveness of different energy policy instruments, including demand-side management policies, the renewable portfolio standard,
net metering standards, as well as a variety of other policy instruments. (2) Public perceptions: Countless energy analysts have noted
that there is no silver modern technology bullet to our current energy and climate situation. Instead, a variety of innovative
technologies have emerged as potential contributors to future developments in the energy sector. One of the main potential barriers to
market maturity of these technologies, however, is public acceptance. If consumers are not willing to adopt these new technologies,
then market development prospects appear questionable. This body of research seeks to identify what factors contribute to the public
and consumers’ perceptions about new technologies. (3) Energy-based economic development: Energy-based economic development
(EBED) is an emerging discipline at the intersection of economic development and energy policy and planning. This research agenda
explores both domestic and international EBED, with articles that define the field, identify approaches and best practices, evaluate
funding limitations, and provide advice to EBED practitioners.

My research spans a number of broad areas, which include: public budgeting/finance, public policy, and public management. More
specifically my research tends to look at issues at the intersection of policy and science, with particular attention paid to the
environment, public health, and science & technology policy. My recent work is leading in the following directions: crowdsourcing in
government (particularly 311 systems), fiscal stress in urban areas, and finance/budgeting for the environment.

enhance the investment performance of these institutions. Related research centres on individual financial decision-making in defined
contribution plans emphasizing the intersection between cognition and context. We have been especially interested in the savings
process, who plans for the future, and the extent to which recognised biases in human reasoning are more or less significant in the
planning process according to people's age, income, and experience in financial markets.

My work on the role that academic researchers play in the policy-making process has led me to look at the role which population and
public health researchers, advocates and practitioners have begun to play in policy-debates surrounding climate change, as well as the
way in which the climate change issue is framed. Gradually my work on public-private partnerships has also begun to evolve towards
the issue of climate change. Publicly-owned utilities appear to be increasingly engaging in partnerships with the private sector to
deliver green (or greener) energy, rather than allowing these initiatives to develop totally in the public sector. Is this a political
decision (an opportunistic form of privatization), or is this a managerial decision (based on competencies and the experimental nature
of these forms of power), or a bit of both? My older work on health care policy is continuing with two publications underway on
Canadian health politics and policy-making. One looks at the impact of the courts on health policy, the other at the ability of
provincial governments to use state financial crises to facilitate policy change in the health care sector. Finally I continue to be
interested in questions of governmental failure, especially when such failure results from following "the best" policy advice. An
example is my recent co-authored article on Canadian program reviews.

My interest is the architecture of public authority - that is, the forms and practices through which areas of collective concern are
governed. I draw on analytical approaches from political science, public administration and organizational analysis to focus on the
way that policy is used to shape thinking and practice in the managing of public concerns. I have taken a particular interest in the
changing nature of policy work, the connection between policy discourse and participation, and with the relationship between
academic modeling fand policy practice. It is becoming clear that models of the policy process developed in the US may be far
removed from the realities of the policy process in other countries (and, perhaps, in the US also). I have co-edited (with Robrt Hoppe
and Mirko Noordegraaf) Working for Policy, an academic-practitioner collaboration (Amsterdam, Amsterdam University Press, 2010
(and two other collections on the work which makes policy: Policy Work: an International Perspective (Lanham, MD, Lexington,
2006) and Beyond the Policy Cycle: the policy process in Australia (Sydney, Allen and Unwin, 2006). I am also interested in
‘governance’ as a heuristic, and have been exploring the way in which the term is used to identify and explain apparent changes in the
practices of governing; I am co-editing a special issue of the journal Policy and Society on this subject, to appear in 2011. I have
taken a particular interest in policy as a construct in use in the field of health care, which is a particularly complex example of the
structuring of public authority, and in the place of non-government or quasi-governmental players in the process. My current research
is concerned with policy as an area of specialist practice, the way that people learn to do ‘policy work,’ and with the relationship
between ‘policy professionals’ and other professionals (such as health professionals).

Fay Lomax Cook is director of the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University and professor of human development and
social policy in the School of Education and Social Policy with a courtesy appointment in the department of political science. Her
research focuses on the interrelationships between public opinion and social policy, the politics of public policy, public deliberation,
and the dynamics of public support for programs for older Americans, particularly Social Security. She is working on several projects
related to these general themes. In one, she and colleagues are studying how views of Social Security have changed over the last 30
years, focusing in particular on four major periods when debate about the future of the program was especially heated: the 1981-83
period which resulted in the 1983 Social Security Amendments; the 1995-98 period when President Clinton issued a call to "Save
Social Security first" and launched national series of town hall meetings to forestall the Republicans' attempt to cut taxes in light of
the then emerging budget surplus; the 2005-06 period when President Bush attempted to partially privatize Social Security; and the
current period when substantial reforms to Social Security have been proposed and the program has been labeled as a "Ponzi
scheme," In a second project, she and colleagues are using original data they collected to compare and contrast the views of citizens,
scientists, and policy makers about energy policy – i.e., similarities and differences in knowledge, attitudes, problem definition, and
policy solutions. In addition, they examine how beliefs concerning the salience and extent of energy problems, including attributions
of responsibility for addressing the problem, affect attitudes toward energy policy.

I have two major areas of interest. The first concerns local policymaking and policy outcomes on social welfare issues. My main
argument here is that there is considerable variation across communities in how they address poverty owing to differences in both
urban fragmentation and local politics. My second research area concerns urban neighborhood development. I focus on explaining
why many urban neighborhoods in jurisdictions that are losing population and wealth nevertheless remain stable or experience
significant economic development. I argue that differences in institutions for neighborhood self governance explain these differences
in neighborhood economic development.

My research agenda, broadly defined, focuses on examining factors that influence environmental and public health decision making in
a variety of settings, as well as evaluating the impact of environmental and public health decision making. Much of my work can be
described as exploring bureaucratic behavior at the federal, state and local levels. I am particularly interested in understanding how
public officials address complex, interdisciplinary policy problems; my research tends to explore how decision makers balance
competing and often conflicting needs.

strategy. More recently, she has begun to explore consumers' demand for corporate green strategy and how public policies may
influence this interest.

project for the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) on 'Maximiizng the Impacts of the Social Sciences'. This
tracks the impacts of the social sciences on public policy-making, economic growth and civil society, and will run to end 2012. 2. We
are publishing the results from a three year investigation of long-run productivity in UK government in the areas of taxation, customs
regulations checking and the delivery of social security payments. 3. We are completing a book on Citizen Redress from a project for
the Nuffield Foundation investigating 'citizen redress' processes across the public sector in the UK, that is complaints, appeals,
individual use of regulators, ombudsmen and use of legal redress. 4. We are working on a project assessing the influence of
management and ICTs factors on the comparative productivity of 166 hospital trusts in England. 5. We are working with the Institute
for Government (London) on machinery of government changes (that is, changes of departments) in Whitehall. Publication 1 above is
the first outcome of this project and we are next looking at core executive operations in the UK. 6. We have a paper on the 'second
wave' of digital-era governance which will be given at the APSA 2010 Conference in Washington. 7. We have developed a 'British
Politics and Public POlicy' blog for LSE as a whole, which is at: http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpolicy/. We have also recently
completed workj with the Department of Health (UK) on assessing the contemporary role of ministerial and permanent secretary's

Specialized knowledge, including social scientific theory and research results, of course plays an important role in the formulation
and evaluation of public policy. Yet skeptics advance weighty arguments as to how difficult it is to plan and engineer social change. It
is often argued that attempts to do so will only make things worse. How, for example, can policy scientists deal with such problems as
flawed theory, incomplete information, unintended consequence, and the openness of political systems? Are policy scientists merely
servants of the people, or do they sometimes know better than the people what is in the public interest? Does the expertise of policy
scientists give them any special authority as to the ethical aspects of policy formulation and evaluation? What about the bluntness,
low responsiveness, and inefficiency of many of the instruments available to policy makers? What can be done about the problem
there is not one single public interest, but many, often conflicting, public interests? My approach to such problems might be called
"hopeful realism." I approach the study of public policy critically and realistically. I take seriously the arguments of the skeptics,
while retaining hope that policy science can learn systematically from experience, and can contribute to bringing about a better
society. Looking at concrete policies, policy making processes, and attempts at various kinds of planning, I am interested in typical
sources of policy failure, and typical conditions that appear to promote success. To be sure, there is no shortage of examples of bad
policies. Yet in spite of all difficulties involved, it cannot be denied that there countless examples of successful and partiallysuccessful public policies. Difficulties are often formidable, risks often sobering, and success often only partial. Yet the historical
record provides substantial grounds for hope of more successful public policy, and that policy science may learn to do better.

governmental agendas and party competition over time. (2) Biotechnology regulatory regimes across OECD countries. Political
attention towards science-related issues has dramatically increased over the last decades. Major biotechnological breakthroughs, such
as stem cell research and synthetic biology, have challenged government with a complex regulatory puzzles. This comparative project
investigates the regulation on red and green biotechnologies across OECD countries as well as the forms and features of the

Promoting Diversity in Public Administration: Promoting diversity representation within public administration has attracted increased

studies (Belgium, Canada, France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States), this comparative project investigates how
the different patterns in promoting women minority groups and women conflict and/or interact to foster the promotion of diversity
within public administration.

My latest publication, "Fight for the Bay: Why a Dark Green Environmental Awakening is Needed to Save the Chesapeake Bay", was
published by Rowman and Littlefield in the fall of 2009. This work addresses the trend among environmental and natural resource
policy makers to pursue environmental goals through voluntary programs, cooperative partnerships, and market-based solutions. The
research project asks the central question, can voluntary environmental programs be counted on to address the pressing environmental
problems of our day. The study argues that "new environmental politics," which puts a premium on market-based solutions and
voluntary programs, is well suited for resolving environmental conflict, but rarely produces the environmental benefits it seeks, and in
many cases actually produces environmental harm. The work gives special attention to the Chesapeake Bay restoration effort and has
chapters covering environmental ethics/philosophy, environmental management, environmental interest group politics, environmental
science, and environmental journalism. The work builds on my previous research about the Chesapeake Bay restoration effort
"Chesapeake Bay Blues: Science, Politics, and the Struggle to Save the Bay", published by Rowman and Littlefield, 2003).
Chesapeake Bay Blues was been highlighted in numerous media outlets, including the Washington Post and National Public Radio's
Diane Rehm Show and resulted in invitations to testify before Congress and to guest lecture at numerous policy centers.

The focus of my research is the intersection between environmental ethics and decision-making processes that determine how
societies manage resources and protect the environment. My research addresses: (a) water resources policy, (b) global environmental
change/energy, (c) environmental risk, and (d) civil society and environmental ethics. A principal component is the conviction that
disputes over water allocation, quality, and use are driven by divergent values held by governments, non-governmental groups, and
citizens toward how, and whether, nature should be protected. I anchor this work on an adaptive management paradigm; an approach
that promotes organizational designs to correct mistakes before they become irreversible, monitor change brought about by previous
decisions, and instills the capacity to revise decisions in light of new information. My 2007 and 1995 books, Water Policy for
Sustainable Development and Water Resources Management: in Search of an Environmental Ethics examine the challenge of
providing adequate freshwater to satisfy the needs of people and nature in different contexts. The first examined controversies over
preservation of scenic rivers and regional development initiatives based on constructing large dams. Its major contribution was fusing
classical political philosophy concerns over justice with efforts to resolve resource conflicts caused by excluding public participation
and gratuitously viewing water projects as merely regional development projects. I have begun to examine the intersection between
civil society and environmental reform. My focus is democratic reform in post-1991 Russia. While political scientists agree that civil
society provides an outlet for freely articulating public policy demands; a forum for representing divergent points of view; and an
autonomous platform for holding government accountable for its actions in Russia, a democratic civil society has never really existed.
Bringing about reform requires a state that is accountable to NGO and citizen input, decision-makers popularly elected under the
banners of competitive political parties, and respect for consultation between agencies and NGOs. We are undertaking a survey of
over 100 environmental NGO leaders to examine the roles of trust and confidence, political efficacy, and experiences with officials to
examine these issues.

Nearly all of this research output has derived from the core concept of deliberative democracy. Many competing models of democracy
exist, and the deliberative model is both the oldest and newest. The Greeks conceived a political process in Athens that celebrated
public deliberation among citizens. But in the past two centuries, the more common quasi-democratic systems have relied more on
bargaining among organized interests and elites than on broad public participation. The concept of public deliberation reappeared in
the United States earlier in the twentieth century, but it disappeared again, not to resurface until the 1990s. It is now common to hear
not only scholars but also civic reformers and policymakers stress the importance of involving average citizens in public policy
discussions. With increasing frequency, critics discuss television and newspapers as responsible for promoting a kind of “mediated
deliberation," and cultural critics take note of whether a society has a "deliberative" political culture. A deliberative democracy
includes all of these elements: face-to-face deliberation among citizens in public institutions, a deliberative mass media and electoral
process, and a larger set of cultural norms promoting deliberation as an essential mode of discourse. Some of my research addresses
the basic idea of deliberation or the design of a deliberative democracy, but I have also pursued lines of research that extend from that
core concept to address five other conventional research topics, including group decision making, civic engagement, elections, public
opinion, and governance. The easiest way to organize my research is to view each book, chapter, or article as bridging two of these
five topic areas, as shown in Figure 1. For instance, my work on the jury and democracy (top right) connects group decision making
with civic engagement, whereas my work on cultural cognition (bottom right) connects public opinion with elections.

Currently, I am working on a project entitled Philosophical Method, Philosophical-Policy & International Law from which I intend to
produce three books. The first of these book is now in manuscript form as "The Genesis of International Law in Social Convention:
An Application of David Hume's Philosophical-Policy". My basic thesis for the overall effort is that one can better understand the
origin, persistence, and future course of international law by utilizing what I call the "Philosophical-Policy" of pre-positivist
philosophers, specifically, in this case, Hume, Hegel, and Kant. By applying these whole, integrated philosophical systems
constructed before the dialectic relationship of 'positive' and 'normative' was reduced, by positivism, to a dichotomy of independent,
isolated concepts, I contend that we can better comprehend the true nature of international law as a response to the full complexity of
humanity and our interaction with both the social and natural environments. Overall, the ultimate argument in this project is for an
'Ecological Contract' that acknowledges an increasingly complex system of global presuppositions created from the moral integrity of
individuals, the functional integrity of nature, the collective action of societies, and the role of contextual governance structures.

I am currently working on two book projects. The first is tentatively titled From Anti-Racism to Antidiscrimination: Immigration and
Race in the EU. For this book I examine the catalysts for actions taken in the European Parliament, looking at the role of negative
political responses to immigration, like the success of radical right parties. Using a policy analysis framework similar to that of Daniel
Tichenor in his book on the history of U.S. immigration policy, I seek to explain the timing of policy developments, the factors that
led policy makers to emphasize first anti-racism and then antidiscrimination, and why the European Parliament and the Commission
took on the issues before they had competence in these areas. I have conducted in-depth interviews with former members of the
European Parliament and others who were involved with these issues from the 1980s through the passage of the EU Racial Equality
Directive in 2000. The second book project, tentatively titled Legislating Equality: Antidiscrimination Policy in Western Europe will
focus on developments related to the implementation of the EUÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s racial equality directive since the directive was passed in
2000 and then transposed by EU members between 2003 and 2006. Many countries were reluctant to move forward with national
legislation, particularly Germany which did not transpose the directive until 2006, 3 years later than required by the directive. Recent
developments indicate that implementation has been uneven, and using an institutionalist approach, I examine the political and
institutional barriers which have impacted policy developments at the national level. I am also working on two edited volumes,
Bridging Racial Divides: Ethnic Minority and Immigrant Political Participation in Europe and Britain, Immigration, and the Rise of
Radicalism in a Global World with several authors from the U.S. and Europe.

Jeremy L. Hall, Ph.D. is a specialist in public policy and public management, with particular emphasis on economic development. His
research has broken new ground in economic development measurement, recently developing a new index of state innovation
capacity that accurately predicts patenting and economic growth at the state level. The capacity to innovate predisposes states to
perform well in the knowledge-based economy, so measuring state capacity investments provides an improved method of assessing
economic development planning and performance. Dr. Hall's research extends to measuring public sector capacity and the linkage
between capacity and performance. His work in the government capacity area considers the effects of local and regional
administrative, financial and political capacity on federal grant receipts. This work highlights the importance of often overlooked
regional institutions in governance outcomes--in this case economic development outcomes associated with federal funding. The use
of best and evidence-based practice by public institutions is on the rise; Dr. Hall is following this trend closely and has responded
with new research examining the use of evidence in public decision making practice. Recent research in this field has led Dr. Hall and
his colleagues to develop a new rubric to guide public officials in their use of best and evidence-based practice information in policy
decisions, specifically highlighting the role of risk and its association with necessary evidence levels. This work continues with the
development of a national survey of state agencies' to be launched in February 2008. The new survey will consider sources of
evidence, how evidence is incorporated into the decision making process, and then will examine differences by agency type and by
state in an attempt to understand the forces driving the search for evidence, leaders and laggards.

My research primarily focuses on public policies that influence access to education for marginalized student groups. Currently, little is
known about the effects of policy on the lived experiences of underserved students. I use a sociological approach to understand how
social structures influence students’ ability to navigate educational institutions. I believe that universities play a vital role in building
partnerships with high schools in order to increase access to college. At the present time, I explore policies intended to increase
educational opportunities for specific student groups — undocumented and homeless youth. My current projects include research
related to the application process for undocumented students, the role of family in the transition to college, and how actionable
research can be used to improve college access.

My current research focuses on evaluating the outcomes and impacts resulting from policy actions--the differential results of such
actions on groups of individuals and on the future actions of policymakers and the external environment. In particular, I am interested
in how such effects manifest themselves over time within organizations and indviduals, and how concurrently, changes in
organizations and individuals may modify subsequent actions.

Dr. Heflin's work is informed by the study of process that create systems and patterns of social stratification. However, since she is
interested in how social policies affect the well-being of vulnerable populations, her work falls at the boundaries of sociology,
economics, public health, public administration, and women's studies. Her interdisciplinary research program focuses on
understanding the survival strategies employed by low-income households to make ends meet, the implications of using these
strategies for individual and household well-being, and how public policies influence well-being. A central focus of her work has been
understanding the causes and consequences of material hardship. Current projects examine how the population using food stamps and
unemployment insurance have changed with the recent recession, how household wealth may be impacted when siblings experience
economic shocks, and the extent to which veteran status moderates the association between disability status and poverty/material
hardship. characteristics changed after Florida implemented a multi-program on-line application system in 2005. . While on-line
application systems may increase access for some populations, such as employed individuals, if they are accompanied by a decrease
in services at state-run service centers, as they have been in Florida, they may decrease access for other populations including the
elderly, those with language difficulties, and Black and Hispanic populations, groups with lower levels of internet use. Specifically,
we explore the effect of moving to an on-line application system on the size of the Food Stamp caseload and how flows onto and off
of the program been influenced.

Heikkila's research interests focus on water resource governance, institutional theory and design, and the management public sector
organizations. One of Heikkila's most recent projects is an NSF-funded study examining 14 western river basins that are governed
under interstate compacts. The project examines linkages across different scales of governance (local, state, regional) and how these
institutional linkages relate to conflicts and cooperation over shared resources. Dr. Heikkila has also researched other forms of
specialized public sector governance through a study of large-scale ecosystem management programs in four regions of the United
States. This research has focused on assessing the factors that facilitated the emergence of these coordinated institutional
arrangements, as well as the institutional design elements that promote learning and adaptation. Dr. Heikkila's previous work has also
compared how institutions support the development and implementation of the coordinated use of ground and surface waters in arid
western states, looking at the organizational relationships among water users and agencies that administer and provide coordinated
water management projects. This project led to a co-authored book, Common Waters Diverging Streams: Linking Institutions and
Water Management in Arizona, California, and Colorado (with W. Blomquist and E. Schlager). Outside of the water management
field, Heikkila has also applied institutional theories to studies of decision-making and performance in public sector organizations in a
study funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation (with K. Isett). Heikkila holds an M.P.A. and PhD from the University of Arizona,
School of Public Administration and Policy (1998, 2001). In 2001 she was the recipient of Resources for the Future's Joseph L. Fisher

inability of traditional pluralist theory to frame the current role of organized interests in the policy process in terms of the creation and

There are two major strands to my ongoing research. The first is examining water policy change in irrigation economies as they
struggle to cope with increasing water scarcity. This has involved research in western Canada, southeastern Australia, and the western
United States. The second strand of my research concerns climate change and GHG abatement policies. It is primarily concerned with
explaining the different approaches to GHG abatement that have been taken throughout the developed world, and why some
jurisdictions have placed a price on carbon emissions while others have not. In terms of theory, most of my research is done using
rational choice institutionalism, historical institutionalism, and, more recently, the ACF.

AEI's Education Policy Program offers both policy recommendations and critiques to influence and enrich the national education
debate. It tackles many of the most controversial questions of education policy, addressing issues of accountability, school choice,
teacher quality, school financing and college financial aid, entrepreneurship, and civic values. As director of AEI's education policy
program, Frederick M. Hess outlines “common sense" policy remedies that use accountability, competition, leadership, and
technological innovation to improve the prospects of the nation's students. In addition, he reexamines common assumptions about the
current system, questions existing practices, and suggests new approaches to deal with the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
In short, Hess seeks ways to "emancipate" education by considering means of harnessing the potential of venture capital and
American entrepreneurialism to develop truly innovative solutions that will drive education reform in the twenty-first century.

Courts and bureaucracies are often attacked as unresponsive and undemocratic. My work, through an examination of court influence
on policy, bureaucratic responsiveness, non-electoral selection processes, and judicial decision-making, seeks to demonstrate that they
are in fact, responsive and crucial to democratic government.

I am interested in the intersection of governance, planning and public policy. In particular I believe that collaborative approaches to
governance are essential to our dynamic, complex and changing world but I also note that formal government makes such approaches
difficult if not impossible. Networks and other informal processes however are filling in the gap. My goal is to develop new ways to
think about and approach governance, planning an public policy that accommodate collaborative, innovative and boundary spanning
activities that will be essential in the 21st Century.

In the long term, I am interested in the linkages between the public, government, and public policy--particularly what government
expects from citizens, what citizens expect from government, and the implications of those relationships for the public policy process.
My dissertation explores how conceptions of the public (i.e., the traditionalist and revisionist schools of thought) are a result of
underlying systematic variation among individuals, and how theoretical approaches can lead to a better understanding of the nature of
the public on both the individual and aggregate levels. I have also done some research on survey methodologies and experimental
survey design that I will continue in the future. My working papers include projects on survey methodology, ideology as a construct
(with a survey experiment), and how different types of primary elections affect the public.

Alan Jacobs specializes in the comparative politics of advanced industrialized democracies and in the politics of public policy, with
particular emphasis on the welfare state. Jacobs' research, supported by grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research
Council, has sought to explain how democratic governments and citizens make intertemporal policy tradeoffs. Specifically, he has
examined the conditions under which elected governments adopt policies that have short-term costs but long-term social benefits -- a
type of policy choice he terms a "policy investment." To date he has examined the politics of policy investment within the field of
public pension financing in Europe and North America (focusing on Germany, Britain, the United States, and Canada). In related
work with J. Scott Matthews (Queens University), Jacobs is engaged in experimental work designed to illuminate the structure of
citizens' attitudes toward policy investments in a range of policy fields. Alongside his interest in the politics of the long term, much of
his work explores how boundedly rational political actors make choices in the face of massive uncertainty and causal complexity,
with a focus on how ideas and cognitive structures shape decision-making. Jacobs' prior work has focused on the comparative politics
of health-care reform and on decision-making in the European Union.

Program) with a direct nutritional supplement program (the Public Distribution System). 2. I am working on the impact of
decentralization (of administrative and financial powers to local level governments) on the supply of local public goods in Indian
villages. 3. A third component of my current research agenda is the examination of the links between inflation and economic growth
when inflation is not accelerating.

Currently, my research agenda is focused on how to better specify the influence of narrative in the policy process. My dissertation,
titled "Heroes and Villains: Cultural Narratives, Mass Opinions, and Climate Change", empirically examines the role of narratively
structured information in shaping public perceptions about solutions to climate change. Following the line of research began by my
dissertation, I have recently co-authored an article titled "A Narrative Policy Framework: Clear Enough to be Wrong?" in the Policy
Studies Journal with Mark K. McBeth. This theoretical piece details how policy narratives can be empirically studied at different
levels of analysis. My research focuses primarily at the micro-level of analysis, or how narratives influence and shape mass opinion.
In addition to the work began in my dissertation, several other interesting projects are taking shape. Working in conjunction with the
Cultural Cognition Project at Yale, the narrative techniques specified in NPF are currently being applied to the study of public opinion
about gay and lesbian parenting and in conjunction with the Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics to examine the role of
cultural orientation and narrative in opinion about campaign finance reform. Other interests include environmental policy (particularly
climate change), campaign advertisements and elections, trans-subsystem dynamics, and making the world a better place one

My research agenda is best described as an exploration of American constitutional culture. The investigation of "constitutional
culture" has a considerably broader scope than legal analysis; it focuses upon the ongoing dialectic between legal norms and the
broader culture within which those norms are situated and must be understood. I am concerned with the operation of constitutional
values in a heterodox culture, and in tracing the effects of that interaction on policy choice and contestation. Choices made by those
who designed our constitutional architecture have shaped our contemporary definitions of public and private, our notions of
governmental and personal responsibility, and our conceptions of human rights. They dictate the manner in which we frame civic
responsibility, and allocate collective social duties among governmental, nonprofit and private actors. In short, those initial
constitutional choices have become constitutive of a distinctive American culture. My research involves the exploration and
explication of those connections, from the more obvious relationship between constitutionalism and public administration, to the
ongoing tension between majoritarianism and individual rights, to the intersection of religion and government, to the mutual
dependence of governmental and nonprofit agencies, to more subtle effects of the constitutional culture on policy areas like health and
human services. I am currently examining the consequences of widespread constitutional illiteracy on our ability to function
politically.

Dr. Brianna L. Kennedy-Lewis is an Assistant Professor in the School of Teaching and Learning. Her research centers on underserved
public school students who do not demonstrate traditionally defined academic and social success. Her broader research interests
include alternative education; assessment and evaluation; policy implementation; early adolescence and middle grades education;
alienation and resilience; philosophy of education; and qualitative research methods. She has taught both online and on-campus
courses on the social context of urban education, human differences and teaching special populations, and teacher leadership for
school change. Dr. Kennedy-Lewis comes to the University of Florida as a former middle school teacher who worked primarily in the
Los Angeles Unified School District. During her teaching career, she gravitated toward the most marginalized students in her classes
and chose to teach for several years in a community day school with expelled students. Her current research investigates the personal,
social, and institutional factors that lead to students being pushed out of school. She takes a special interest in examining the
ideological assumptions, policy implementations, and daily classroom practices that result in inequitable educational experiences.

My research is inspired by contemporary problems of governance, institutional development, regulatory innovation, and comparative
public policy. Working in the tradition of historical institutionalism makes visible and understandable the overarching contexts and
interacting processes that shape politics and public policymaking. I explore how policies are formed and how policy actors generate
new modes of interaction, which is inextricably linked to explaining the institutional configurations and policy outcomes. My current
research agenda is focused on the problem of bureaucratic reorganization and environmental policy capacity in Russia. Another
project seeks to explore the relationship between governmental performance in environmental policy and institutionalization and
formalization of environmental groups. My next project will examine the legal, institutional, and regulatory factors affecting water
quality trading in the U.S. It will analyze how program design, institutional settings, and problems related to inadequate supply and
demand have significant effects on the behavior and performance of trading programs. Still another project develops a conceptual
framework for analyzing the roles different countries play in the process of globalization, which brings to light the complexity of
policy conditions globalization gives rise to.

I am currently working on a manuscript on global governance. It contends that there has arisen a global society for the first time in the
social evolution of the human species. This society, like all preceding societies, have had to confront three imperatives of all human
societies: order, welfare, and legitimacy (OWL). The volume argues that the dominant solutions advanced by the world's populations
for OWL imperatives are fundamentally flawed and require fundamental reform if the global society is to survive and thrive. These
include the nation-state and nation-system for order, global markets for welfare, and popularly based national systems for legitimacy.

environmental performance measures for about 8,500 American industries along with results from a national survey of 1,000
businesses that focused on their experience with the TRI program and the effect it had on their manufacturing operations as well as on
relations with community groups. The book was released by MIT Press in early 2011 and it anchors the TRI study within the larger
context of how best to appraise the potential for new environmental policy approaches, such as information disclosure. Written with
Troy Abel and Mark Stephen, the book explores the broad trends in industry performance and TRI measures, seeks to explain the
substantial difference among leaders and laggards, and offers some recommendations both TRI policy and environmental policy in
general. In the last few years I also prepared new editions of Environmental Policy (CQ Press), co-edited with Norman Vig; Public

co-editing an Oxford Handbook of U.S. Environmental Policy with Sheldon Kamieniecki, which includes some 35 chapters that

My research probes questions of public policy agenda-setting in democratic political institutions (especially Congress). It is highly
varied in terms of institutional topics, but there is an intellectual core; I explore the inter-play between political institutional structure
and public policy. My various projects relate to two sets of research questions. The first is "How do democratic political institutions
process policy issues?" More specifically, why are some issues seriously considered while others fall by the wayside? Projects on
issue processing: a series of articles on "winnowing" in the U.S. House and Senate. A series of articles on the effect of institutional
structure on environmental policy discussions in congressional committees and the federal bureaucracy But that (issue processing)
represents only half of theoretical picture. Institutions are not static. They are not ex ante bargains struck before the game begins.
They evolve, and this evolution may affect the processing of policy issues. Therefore, a second question I study is "how and why do
institutions change the way in which they process issues?"

Lachapelle’s research interests are rooted in the study of comparative environmental and energy policy at the federal and sub-federal
levels, with a focus on North American jurisdictions in a comparative international context. His work is primarily geared toward
explaining why certain jurisdictions adopt the energy and environmental policies they do, with a view to garnering a better
understanding of how interests and preferences interact with the institutional context in which they are embedded. These questions
lead to analysis of such factors as political party ideologies, voter preferences and the geographic distribution of energy resources – in
interaction with electoral rules, boundaries, and federalism – in the formulation and implementation of public policy. At present,
Lachapelle has an active research agenda comprised of 5 main projects – 1) The Comparative Politics of Carbon Pricing; 2) Climate
Federalism in Canada and the U.S.; 3) Public Opinion on Climate Change and Climate Policy; 4) Scientific Expertise in
Environmental Policy;, and 5) Political Geography and the Consequences of Electoral Regimes. Much of this research is funded by

My research focuses broadly on American institutional policy agendas and more specifically on presidential policy attention, the
forces that determine that attention, as well as the effects that presidential policy agendas have on other institutions and political
players. My three journal publications and my working papers reflect my substantive interests in presidency research and in the
linkages between public policy processes and decision-making theory, as well as my broader interest in quantitative methods and
democratic processes. I recently completed a manuscript that investigates how presidential policy attention is allocated across policy
tools and whether there is a channeling of tool use by policy area. I also examine whether there is evidence of disproportionate
information processing within presidential policy attention allocation and whether it is common across presidential policy tools. I find
that there is a canalization of presidential policy attention by instrument, and that the opportunity structure of policy tools shapes
attention allocation. Another current project, with Paul Rutledge, investigates leaders and followers in U.S. institutional agenda
setting. Past research on the presidency indicates that agenda setting is a powerful presidential tool, while other scholars have
documented the president’s difficulty in setting the congressional and public agendas. Very few scholars have investigated this
question of leaders and followers in the American institutions, and we have the unique opportunity to do so with a stellar,
comprehensive data set. Another project, with bureaucracy scholar Samuel Workman, examines presidential influence over the
bureaucracy at the macro level. We are interested in the president’s ability to both shape the bureaucratic agenda and induce
bureaucratic activity.

I research the politics of health policy, specifically the factors shaping domestic health policy adoption, especially the role of
physician groups in Medicare payment policy. I received a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Investigator Award for the project "The
Politics of Relative Values" to research physician payment policy within Medicare. Other projects explore state variation in health
insurance regulation and vaccine policies. I also study health care reform and financing comparatively, including cross-border health
care. Much of my work involves multidisciplinary collaborations with scholars from other fields.

My principal field is Public Policy/Political Economy, particularly in the area of labor markets and labor market policy. Much of my
research has been focused on issues of wage regulation and inequality. I have written a book on the politics of the minimum wage and
more recently about the political economy of the living wage. Recently, I have been exploring labor market characteristics that might
predispose cities to pass such ordinances. And I have also been taking an historic view of those cities that passed ordinances, arguing
that the nature of labor market transformations over the last 40 years have perhaps made them somewhat path dependent. I am
continuing my work on the minimum wage with a look at the whole issue of wage contours, especially those around the minimum
wage (both the statutory and effective), in terms of composition, and how those contours might vary across geographic regions. I am
interested in exploring how such contours might be affected by increases in the minimum wage or other labor market policies
designed to bolster wages. My just published book focuses on the importance of wage policies to the maintenance of equality in
accordance with democratic theory. I am now looking at the impact of income inequality on civic engagement.

chiefs and county sheriffs, along with a set of comparative case studies, to examine how and why local law enforcement becomes
involved in enforcing federal immigration law, or chooses not to engage in such activity. Second, I am continuing my longstanding
research on the politics of urban growth, which focuses on the relationship between community characteristics and local policy
choices regarding development -- following the causal arrow in both directions.

University William Budd (Environmental Science and Regional Planning) and Steven Stehr (Political Science) in connection with an
NSF IGERT grant -- NSPIRE (Nitrogen Systems: Integrated Policy-oriented Research and Education. This is a give-year program and
will entail training 30 doctoral students in science and engineering disciplines who will have a public policy component of their PhD
prelim exams, a chapter on the policy dimensions of their science, and spend a semester in a policy-oriented internship. We hope to
train "boundary-spanning" capacity in this program.

I study collective-action problems in theory, lab, and field settings using quantitative and qualitative empirical methods. Collectiveaction problems are the heart of many environmental conflicts, and therefore environmental policy is an excellent research setting to
study central theoretical issues. My research topics to date include collaborative policy, environmental activism, local government
policy, and agricultural best management practices. Each of these situations represents a different type of collective action problem.
These situations also feature many phenomena of central interest to political science, such as the role of institutions, political
behavior, and policy implementation.

I am editor of the forthcoming (2010) volume from Cambridge Scholars Publishing, Migrants and Minorities: The European
Response. Europe stands on the brink of a new era of diversity and immigration. Although many Europeans would prefer to ignore
this fact, the signs are everywhere. Societies and politics are being irrevocably changed by their encounters with migrants, both recent
and settled. This book pinpoints the specific trends and emerging patterns that allow us to understand what these changes mean for the
future of Europe. On the ground level, institutions like schools and local governments have charted unique courses for dealing with
diversity. And from above, the institutions of Brussels become ever more important for regulating the big picture. The passage of the
Lisbon Treaty means that common EU rules on immigration will now be easier to achieve (and more likely). But what exact role is
played by the institutions of the EU in Brussels, and how does this vary across policy areas? How are Europeans on all levels dealing
with the sensitive questions raised by Islam, and how are migrants and minorities dealing with the hostility and xenophobia they
routinely encounter? And finally, how have the experiences of different European countries in integrating their immigrants and
minorities changed our comparative understanding of race, ethnicity and citizenship? These three sets of issues - EU-level
regulations, Islam and Xenophobia, and comparative integration policy - are the topics that motivate and structure this book. Noted
experts on each topic offer the latest research findings, which collectively advance our understanding of how Europe will deal with
diversity in the 21st Century.

The Trouble with Voters' and Those Who Try to Fix Them: Abstract Many commentators claim that citizens know too little about
politics. The evidence used to support such claims is that when survey researchers ask citizens fact-oriented questions about politics,
relatively few answer the questions correctly. It is widely believed that such ignorance is a problem. Citizens who cannot give correct
answers to political questions are thought to make inferior decisions at key moments, such as elections. A consequence of such beliefs
is that there are many calls to "fix" such citizens. The idea is to improve the quality of citizen decisions by improving their
knowledge. Many people and organizations see the types of ignorance revealed in surveys as detrimental to democracy. They seek to
improve democracy by answering calls to "fix" citizens. But there is a problem with most of these people and organizations. They too
lack important information. What these potential "fixers" do not know leads them to misinterpret evidence that appears to document
citizen ignorance, to misdiagnose the causes and consequences of extant ignorance, and to waste thousands of hours and millions of
dollars on civic education campaigns that have little chance of improving the quality of political decisions. This presentation is about
how to improve citizen competence. Instead of focusing on citizens, however, it focuses primarily on people who want to improve
citizens' knowledge and competence. It is about how to fix the fixers. Throughout the presentation, I integrate and make accessible
important insights from the social sciences, cognitive sciences, marketing literatures, and current practices. Collectively, these lessons
clarify when and how people who wish to improve democracy by improving citizen competence can do so more effectively and
efficiently.

Topic: Why the European Union is having difficulty getting its heavy volumes of commercial traffic off the highways and onto
intermodal rail. Doing so has been a priority of the European Commission for ten years, and the prospect of reduced energy
consumption, pollution and congestion is compelling. Implementation has been delayed by the accompanying restructuring of the
member states' railways, which has involved separating rail infrastructure ownership from train operations. The intention was to
encourage new international intermodal operators to offer attractively fast and price-competitive services. The difficulty has been in
implementing deregulation and coordinating disparate national rail systems. Some have not welcomed newcomers using their tracks,
and SNCF, the French national railway, has actually purchased new operators. Technical cooperation poses formidable tasks.

creating and sustaining boundary-spanning policy regimes to address such problems.

In general, I focus my research on the degree to which the contemporary western state has taken on demands for women's rights and
status. I take a comparative and empirical theory-building approach and use both qualitative and quantitative methods. I have three
streams of research. In the first, I focus on the impact of women's policy agencies in terms of whether and to what degree they
descriptively and substantively represent women's interests in the state. Here my work has been with the Research Network on
Gender Politics and the State- a 40 person research group I co convene which has produced 7 books and a data set --http://
libarts.wsu.edu/polisci/rngs/. The most recent book in this research project, is listed in my profile, The Politics of State Feminism:
Innovation in Comparative Research, co authored with Dorothy McBride ( Temple University Press 2010). In the second research
stream, I assess if, how and why the contemporary state has developed purposefully feminist policy. My 2002 book, with OUP,
Theorizing Feminist Policy and the co edited special issue of Comparative European Politics ( with Mark Pollock in 2009) represent
the comparative work I do in this area. And I also develop theory from the French case. The final stream of my work is more
methodological with a focus on conceptualization and multi methods works. The book I co edited with Gary Goertz with CUP is in
this part of my research agenda, Politics, Gender and Concepts as well as a recent article I wrote with Dorothy McBride -“Integrating Two Cultures in Mixed Methods Research: A Tale of the State Feminism Project. "Qualitative and Multi-Method

Current Major Research Project: Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) "...narrative remains a mysterious and elusive concept in policy
theory, too associated with literary theory, too superfluous to underpin theory building, and too nebulous to facilitate the empirical
investigation of policy processes and outcomes" (Jones and McBeth, 2010:331). The quote above represents a problem that is
addressed in a decade long effort by McBeth, Elizabeth Shanahan (Montana State University) and Michael Jones (Harvard
University) to move the study of policy narratives into an empirical, hypothesis driven framework aimed at finding causal
relationships. A series of studies (described below) by these authors and others have explored policy narratives from this approach
gaining much national and international attention among policy scholars and indeed there is now significant movement to include
narratives as part of mainstream public policy theory.

My interests focus on environmental law and policy, with an emphasis on marine issues. Recent scholarship interests have focused on
implementing ecosystem-based management principles in fisheries management. I am also a student of human behavior and social
learning dynamics. I try to understand, like those in social economics, how frameworks influence individual and group behavior
patterns. A research goal is to find ways to better understand the link between legal and regulatory frameworks, and their
corresponding impacts on decision-making via learning dynamics.

My research focuses on shaping policy for people and places including urban, rural, working, and wild landscapes. I believe that the
most effective way to do this is through public processes that are well informed and provide meaningful opportunities for all
interested citizens, stakeholders, and decision-makers to participate. To this end, I specialize in both process and substance. In
addition to focusing on the fields of collaboration, and conflict resolution, I work on issues related to water policy and management,
public land policy and management, land use planning, and transboundary resources. My research is designed to inform and
invigorate policy discussions by providing timely, decision-relevant research and analysis. My research often builds on my practice of
facilitating and mediating complex, multi-party dialogues on land and water issues. I am also committed to building and sharing
knowledge to push the horizons of natural resources and environmental policy and governance.

My research is focused on economic efficiency and competition in the transportation sector of the economy. Overall, an efficient
transportation system can play an important role in assuring a country's international competitiveness. Recent work here has focused
on U.S. air carriers and pricing policies, transit systems, and road pricing. Examination of freight performance measures and multimodal investment decision-making have also been the topics of recent research projects that were designed to assist policymakers.
Assessment of the feasibility of private/public partnerships is an area that is receiving increased consideration in an era of shrinking
public resources. Finally,research in progress involves assessment of the socio-economic impacts of policies aimed at providing a
sustainable transportation network, including various congestion pricing scenarios and the proper pricing of greenhouse gas
emissions.

practices that influence crime and punishment. In particular, I focus on political structures and institutions--including federalism, law,
interest groups, political mobilization and participation--and their impact on the development of criminal laws and criminal justice
policy. I am especially interested in the political mobilization of racial minorities and the poor and most of my work emphasizes the
relationship between these groups and punishment politics. My research crosses intra- as well as inter-disciplinary boundaries,
drawing upon work in public law, public policy, American political development, criminology, and political and sociological theory.
My current research involves a cross-national analysis of the relationship between democracy, inequality, and punishment.

institutional structures that support engagement with the global knowledge economy. Michael has recently been exploring this crossnationally with respect to university research partnerships. He intends to extend this analysis in the coming years to consider

to promote regional economic development. Approaches to undertaking policy analysis have also been treated as a sub-theme in

My research tends to focus on the ways in which individuals and organizations fail to act in the interests of others, and the means by
which such agency relationships are structured in order to overcome or tolerate agency problems. About the same time (1973) that
Stephen Ross developed the economic theory of agency, I independently originated the institutional theory of agency, including many
of the standard arguments and terms of use common now in social science in uses of agency theory. My work has continued to
develop theory and applications of this approach. A recent series of papers has focused on the theory of testaments, which examines
some central aspects of the social processes that bind people together in organizations. In general, successful joint action or
incorporation in organizational action requires that credible testaments, i.e., statements that produce belief that organizational
performance will occur as it is claimed to occur, must accompany the credible commitments that provide rational support for such
action. Another recent series of papers, coauthored with John F. Mahon, examines both the behavioral and the normative
underpinnings of the management of reputation by firms, including the normative concept of reputational "bliss," i.e., reputational
optimality. I also continue to have substantial research interests in the theory and behaviors of regulatory organizations, governance
generally, including corporate governance, and business ethics.

My research agenda revolves around three major themes, each of which intertwines with the others. First, I have a passion for
exploring the implications of private sector activity in traditional public functions. This line of inquiry is multifaceted, in that it
includes elements of public policy, public administration, environmental policy, political science, federalism, organization theory, and
economics. Second, much of my research examines issues found in public works departments. Third, I have a long-standing curiosity
about the reasons behind the policy choices states make. States are truly "policy laboratories," yet much remains to be discovered
about the reasons why states make the choices they do. My work in this field addresses policy issues such as wastewater funding,
welfare policy choices, reproductive rights, and environmental policy. A sub-element of this theme focuses specifically on a regional
comparison of southern states to the rest of the nation. I have also participated in work to help more clearly define political culture,
one of the core explanators in the state comparative policy literature.

of presidential advising systems and the growing influence of counterinsurgency proponents in that process. Secondly, I am
constructing an evaluation and critique of the civic capacity approach to understanding urban educational reform. The critique argues
that civic capacity interpretations under-emphasize the importance of power and conflict within the urban school policy process. This
is particularly true with regard to racial issues. In addition, I am looking at the impact of the conservative shift in American politics
(increasing role of corporate actors, rising rhetoric of the market, privatization of government programs, etc.) on education policy at
the national and state levels. Lastly, I am looking at modern U.S. immigration reform attempts in 1986, 1996, and 2006 from the
perspective of Smith and King's racial order framework.

policy learning (such as self-interest or the sense of compromise), as well as the institutional and organizational conditions which
affect them. The conceptual and analytical apparatus of the research is based on the advocacy coalition framework. The research
concerns individuals involved in policy decisions related to the European liberalization of network industries, in Belgium (such as the
railways, the gas, the electricity, the telecoms, etc.). They are submitted in a websurvey. Stephane Moyson also participates in
research projects and publications related to the institutional resource regime of network industries (such as the railway sector and the
civil aviation). This framework allows for the analysis of the formal rules - the "regimes" - which organize the property and uses of a
resource (natural or artifical, such as railway or airway networks) and to evaluate, among other things, the sustainability of these
regimes.

While varied across issue areas, my substantive research interests are in the role of competing interests in the policymaking process. I
have explored this theme spatially at the United Nations, Canada and the United States and in the issue areas of outer space, climate
change and national parks. I am interested in how the tensions between competing interests inform and stabilize/destabilize the
policymaking process. One of the key elements of democratic policymaking is the participation of organized interests. Policymakers
do not operate in isolation; rather they formulate and implement policy in conjunction with organized interests. In my research I
combine an institutional framework with a pluralist orientation to better study the policymaking process. Policy decision-making
occurs in an arena filled with non-state actors (also called organized interests) including non-governmental organizations (NGOs),
inter-governmental organizations, market-oriented actors such as corporations, and knowledge-based communities. Non-state actors
play instrumental roles in policy functions such as knowledge building, policy promotion, assessment, implementation, enforcement
and evaluation. The need for organized interests to work together coupled with mounting sources of tension and divergence, results
simultaneously in an environment of unity and conflict. The underlying assumption of my research is that interests matter, and that the
effects of interest group behavior have social and political significance. My secondary research interest is in the use of web surveys
and how web surveys can be used to create quasi-experimental research designs, and to reach new populations.

My current research agenda concerns the politics of childbirth in Canada, with a specific focus on alternative birth and midwifery in
Ontario and Quebec. Focusing on the discursive politics of midwifery, my work examines shifting relations between women,
midwives, and the state, tracing the issue as it emerged in civil society and shifted to the state, illuminating "transformative moments"
in midwifery dialogue that opened (or closed) space for change. Within this body of research, I explore the diverse meanings of
midwifery through the Alternative Birth Movement to regulated midwifery and unassisted childbirth. Of particular interest are
shifting conceptualizations of reproductive empowerment and how the state is implicated in its achievement. I also examine the
implications of regulated midwifery for how midwifery (and childbirth more generally) is experienced by both midwives and
pregnant and parturient women and the degree to which it disrupts the discursive hegemony of bio-medical science and fosters
reproductive empowerment of birthing women.

My topic will center on the effect of counterterrorism funding on policing strategies. I want to take an organizational approach to
answering my question and look at how the relationship between the federal and state government affects organizational behavior. It
seems to me organizations want to behave in a certain way and the question is do they change their thinking or just their approach
based on their environment or outside influences. I would like to look at this question in the context of terrorists’ attacks on New York
and London both in the 1990's and the 9/11 attack on New York and the 2005 London attacks.

My current research project investigates state-based environmental litigation. Specifically, I am examining how state attorneys general
are attempting to shape national environmental policy through the courts. Recent lawsuits filed by state attorneys general on issues
such as federal fuel economy standards, mercury pollution levels, and carbon dioxide emissions suggest that state litigation is
becoming an increasingly popular tool for pressuring the federal government and private industries to change their policies and
practices. However, scholars have not empirically examined the nature and history of state-based environmental litigation nor
assessed the policy consequences of it. My project examines all state-initiated environmental litigation against the federal government
and private parties in federal courts from 1970 to the present. I pay particular attention to multi-state lawsuits aimed at changing
national policy. My goals are to discover litigation patterns and trends and to consider the consequences of state environmental
litigation on federal regulatory policy. I am also researching the framing of climate change, with the goal of understanding whether
moral and ethical frames are more effective than other means of discussion the issue.

studies. My research interests also include the Middle East and the Far East. In the Spring 2011 issue of the Digest of Middle Eastern

I am an applied microeconomist with a focus on labor markets, education and migration in developing countries. My work focuses on
individual and household decision making in developing countries, particularly in dynamic and uncertain settings. My current work
focuses on youth unemployment in South Africa, and the effect of Mexican immigration on labor markets in the U.S. My paper,
“Bumpy Rides: School to Work Transitions in South Africa,” quantifies the importance of the option to re-enroll in the school-to-work
transition of South African youth. To do so, I develop and estimate a dynamic structural model of school enrollment and job search
applied to South Africa’s environment of high unemployment, high grade repetition, and persistent racial inequality. A companion
paper, "Prospective Analysis of a Wage Subsidy for Cape Town Youth" (with James Levinsohn), quantifies the effects of the proposed
subsidy on the search behavior, employment and wages of Cape Town youth. My paper, "The Impact of Mexican Immigration on
U.S. Natives: Evidence from Migrant Flows Driven by Rainfall Shocks" (with Dean Yang), examines the effect of immigration driven
by exploiting a novel source of exogenous variation in migrant inflows: rainfall shocks in migration source areas.

One project considers the national patterns of state removal of peace officers' licenses for such officers that engage in misconduct as
part of state patterns to control local police departments and the behavior of individual officers. A second project involves a dynamic
analysis of internal U.S. Supreme Court decision-making and seeks to develop new concepts to understand that behavior. The period
under investigation involves the Warren through Rehnquist Courts.

Although I work in several subfields of American politics, my overriding concern for a number of years has been with the ability of
democratic government to make intelligent policy decisions. Stated crudely, the issue is not, who wins and who loses?--the main
preoccupation of behavioral political science for generations--but does government do smart things or dumb things? Of course, we
can't often make such categorical distinctions; but decisions do vary with respect to their reliance on relevant evidence, thorough
analysis, careful design, and so on. I might add that this kind of concern has been easier to explain in conversation since the first year
of the Iraq War, which many see as a calamitous mistake. I have addressed this general problem of intelligence in policymaking--in
varying degrees of depth--in relation to processes of debate and deliberation in Congress, the competence of public opinion, advisory
processes in presidential decision making, campaign debate in elections, and the influence of public opinion on policymaking. My
main current project is about how American Government deliberates over one the most challenging policy dilemmas it has ever faced:
the conflict between enhancing security against terrorism, on the one hand, and preserving privacy, defendants' rights, and ultimately
political freedom, on the other. In collaboration with William Bendix, a Ph.D. candidate in U.S. politics at the University of British
Columbia, I am working on a book that will analyze the development of policies about wiretapping, surveillance, detention of
suspects, and related issues. I have also agreed to write a chapter on "Deliberation in Congress" for the Oxford Handbook of
Congress. Finally, I am co-editing a book that compares the U.S. and Canadian political systems and their performance in
policymaking. The two countries have generally quite similar societies and cultures, at least by world standards. But they have
radically different formal political institutions. Two UBC colleagues and I have assembled a distinguished group of both American
and Canadian authors and expect to produce a book that will attract wide interest on both sides of the border.

My research focuses on several topics. One involves the development of the policy analysis field. The second deals with questions of
accountability. And the third highlights a range of federal management activities that have an impact on policy implementation. These
activities include performance measurement efforts and reorganization decisions. Both of these provide insight into effort to increase
accountability.

My research focuses on institutional and policy choices in democracies and how these choices affect democratic performance and
sustainability. This interest extends across two subfields, comparative politics and public policy, and considers fundamental problems
that all democracies must confront. The first strand of my research centers on the stability of democratic regimes. I explore why, in
the face of challenges from anti-system political actors, some democracies are robust while others are more fragile. My research in
this area considers this problem from two perspectives. First, it considers the role of both formal and informal institutions in
democratic breakdown. Second, it considers the commitment dilemma that democracies confront with their citizens over both the
social contract and juridical contracts. The second strand of my research is located at the intersection of the literatures on bureaucratic
responsiveness, regulatory politics and legislative studies. I am interested in the policy implications of elected officials' manipulation
of the structure and procedures of administrative agencies as a response to the delegation problem. Specifically, my research focuses
on the following three questions. First, through precisely what design mechanisms do elected officials (legislators and chief
executives) attempt to influence bureaucratic activity? Second, how do individual legislators attempt to intervene in agency affairs?
Third, what are the consequences of manipulating institutional design features for the delivery of public policy? I explore these
questions primarily in the context of environmental policy.

environmental and science and technology policy. The goal is to better understand and represent the multiple ways in which our
society attempts to exert control over chemical products and processes through the dynamic interactions between regulatory agencies,
industries, community activists, and scientists and engineers. Current projects include: an examination of the writing and
implementation of the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 in an effort to better articulate current needs in efforts too reform this
statute; the evolution of the concept of pollution prevention as a guiding philosophy in environmental governance and its reduction to
a technocratic approach to environmental management; the history of nanotechnology at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency;
and ongoing legacies of exposure to asbestos in a manufacturing town near Philadelphia. In each of these projects, we employ a
mixed methodology rooted in practices and theories emerging from the field of Science and Technology Studies. We utilize oral

Brussels, the focus of my work is now centered on the merger of globalization and geopolitics within the foreign and defense policies
in what concerns the Arctic. Also, the regional integration process policies around the world are being considered in my research as
intermediate stages for global integration and, therefore, to global government/governance, in the way which is proposed by what I
call the "global relations ultimate complexity and interdependence law". The great strategic game of public policy is now being
played in multilevel dimensions and the virtual one is not to be forgotten, also.

During the 1970s and early 1980s, I did a lot of implementation research with Dan Mazmanian. In the mid-80s deficiencies in the
implementation literature led me to develop the advocacy coalition framework (ACF) as a general theory of the policy process. The
ACF has been critically applied to over 100 cases. During this period I have also been encouraging other researchers to develop and
test alternative frameworks of the policy process.

of 2011. This project is motivated by both the salience of this policy issue in western Europe as well as its potential contribution to
further the third generation research paradigm in policy implementation research.

discovered that interests in murder and violence are really public health issues. I am also currently engaged as the assessor of the
Circle of Courage Mentoring Program which working with the Recovery School District has developed a mentoring approach which
appears to have a strong impact upon violence among the highest risk youth and builds upon research I did with Lawrence Kohlberg
in the 1970's "Just Community Approach to Corrections." I am also involved with the Superintendent of the NOPD on the problem of
how to alter the integrity culture within the NOPD. This is, as is obvious, a critical problem for our city. I am also assessing a large

Research on post-conflict reconstruction using traditional research methods regularly fails to produce useful results. This is because
they have mischaracterized the situation that reconstruction missions face. These missions and the situations in which they occur are
properly characterized as complex adaptive systems (CAS). This requires a different theoretical approach and a different set of
methods. Building from the work of Ostrom (IAD, 2005) and Axelrod and Cohen (2000), these methods focus on studying how
systems adapt to their own changes. To do this, they build models of the system's rules and actors and apply network analysis to study
the shape of the system, the patterns of information flow, and the roles of the actors. By applying these methods to a new field, new
understandings, as well as new conclusions and policy approaches should emerge.

1. Analyzing the emergence, the formulation and the implementation of public policies related to risks, more specifically on
genetically modified organisms, biomedicine and mobile phones, especially in Belgium. These policies vary considerably with respect
to the goals they try to attain, the instruments they apply, the social groups towards which they are directly targeted, and the actors
charged with implementing the respective policies (policy design). Scientific research, patenting (property rights), commercialization
of biotechnologies trigger vivid debates and have numerous impacts on our way of living. Comparing public policies helps to
investigate the connections that biopolitics create between sciences, market, ethics and society. 2. Studying democracy as a political
regime. Two main focuses are developed: how democracy handles (political) crises and how representative and participatory logics
interact in contemporary political systems. Political theory owns a long tradition in building typologies of political regimes
(democracy, authoritarianism and totalitarianism) and on investigating democracy principles and functioning. Connections can be
established between political theory and public policy analysis. Nowadays, risk policies partly rely on participatory devices
(consensus conferences, deliberative pollings, and so on). This intrigues representation’s legitimacy and efficacy.

Three to examine the performance of regional organizations that are largely governed by unanimity rules. In the future I will continue
to examine cross-scale organizational and institutional linkages around natural resource governance in order to explain how governing
systems emerge and evolve over time.

My work focuses on policy design: how and why we get the kinds of policy designs that we currently observe, and what the
consequences of these kinds of policies are for democracy, citizenship, and the quality of life that we experience. By policy design, I
am referring to the substantive content of policy: the problem definitions, goals, benefits/burdens, target populations, rationales, social
constructions, tools, rules, and the other empirical elements of policy. My colleague, Helen Ingram, and I continue to develop and use
a theory of policy design that emphasizes the central role played by social constructions in understanding both the causes and
consequences of policy. One central thesis is that policy making sometimes occurs (perhaps often) in conditions that are best
described as "degenerative democracy" in which "winning" against ones "enemies" and inflicting a death blow to them and to their
ideas is more important than solving collective problems and serving a collective and public interest. Whether this condition exists in
the legislative halls of the nation's capital or in a university department, the result is public policy that serves only political ends.

a multi-method study of welfare reform in the state of Florida--Disciplining the Poor: Neoliberal Paternalism and the Persistent
Power of Race (Chicago 2011). The book focuses on devolution, privatization, performance measurement and the increased use of
punitive policy tools as reflective of a neoliberal approach to incorporating welfare recipients into the low-wage labor markets
associated with a globalizing economy. A key dimension of this research highlights the role of race in identifying subordinate
populations that can be singled out for more punitive treatment. The second book is co-authored with Corey Shdaimah and Roland
Stahl and is entitled Change Research: A Case Study of Collaborative Methods for Social Workers and Advocates (Columbia 2011).

My primary focus is the research, development, commercialization and broad deployment of a naturally occurring cyanobacteria
based soil amendment with global environmental, economic and policy implications. This development called AgriDerm (for the
agricultural version), and TerraDerm (for the arid lands version), will be able to be spread on millions of hectares of damaged soils
using agricultural aircraft. There are profound positive implications for combating desertification, soil erosion, biological nitrogen
fixation and atmospheric CO2 draw down on a landscape to regional scale. My secondary focus is the promotion of the nascent algal
biomass industry by providing a common language and technical guidance through chairmanship of the Algal Biomass Organization
Technical Standards Committee.

research connects to issues in international relations, political science, and public policy theory of how institutions are built and
maintained, and the effectiveness of cooperative arrangements across governance scales. I am primarily conducting empirical
research in three topical areas: i) global politics of sustainable development; ii) global and regional management of hazardous
substances and wastes; and iii) global and regional climate change action. To date, my primary regional focus has been Europe and
North America. In the near-term, I will focus more on multilevel governance issues.

During the past several years, I have invested a significant amount of time and effort in crafting and implementing a public policy
curriculum at the undergraduate level through the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth College. We have developed a program
that engages students "in and out of the classroom, on and off campus," by integrating the curricular and co-curricular elements of the
Center. From our First-Year Fellows Program that places Dartmouth freshmen who have completed the gateway Introduction to
Public Policy course with Dartmouth alumni in Washington, D.C. in public policy internships during the summer following their
freshman year to our Policy Research Shop that builds off of two of our policy methods courses and links students with state
legislators in New Hampshire and Vermont through the students' analysis of policy topics presented to them by lawmakers and their
subsequent testimony before legislative committees to present their findings, Public Policy at the Rockefeller Center fully engages
students in theoretical underpinnings of public policymaking as well as in the direct application of their analytical skills in the
policymaking process.

in Policy Change Theory." Policy Sciences 41 (2): 115-138.
The central theme of my research is the development Narrative Policy Framework, a macro-level theory which explains how policy
narratives influence policy outcomes. Policy narratives are strategically constructed stories disseminated to the public by stakeholders
(e.g., interest groups, the media, elected officials) for the purpose of obtaining the stakeholder's policy outcome preference. Our
research team has developed a critical new dimension in the policy change scholarship by turning an empirical eye toward the role of
policy narratives in policy change or status quo. Given the hegemony of quantitative work in political science in general and policy
sciences in particular, studies using narratives (words) as data were traditionally seen as unsystematic, unreliable, and hence not able
to contribute to scientific building of policy knowledge. Our work on policy narratives has addressed these criticisms of narrative
studies through the quantification of the theoretical narrative perspective. We incrementally developed an empirical (and hence
replicable) methodology to uncover policy narrative elements and strategies and to measure the strength and influence of policy
narratives. The import of our research findings is two-fold. First, policy outcomes are explained by the power and influence of well
constructed narratives which are grounded in core values (i.e., anthropocentric vs biocentric view of the human-nature relationship)
not scientific evidence. Rational models purport that policy decisions result from evidence-based analyses; our research reveals the
power of values embedded in policy narratives greatly shapes policy debates. Second, the impact of these policy narratives lay at the
feet of how we understand ourselves as a democracy. Traditional political systems theories identify citizens/interest groups providing
input to decision makers through linkage mechanisms; our theory indicates that there may be a backward feedback loop, whereby
linkage mechanisms act as policy marketers who work to influence public opinion through strategically constructed narratives.

My research concentrates on the way in which ideas about democracy and governance interact with the institutions and behaviors
through which public policy is developed, agreed, and performed. The main focus is on third party government operating at armslength to elected political authority, including citizen-centered governance, networks and partnerships, quangos, and public-private
partnerships. I am particularly interested in extending the methodological repertoire that can be employed in interpretive studies of
these issues, including the use of Q methodology, quality of democracy analysis, and comparative cross-national analysis. My recent
work has involved U.S.-U.K. comparisons (of business improvement districts) as well as intra-European comparisons of the
governance of immigration and neighborhood revitalization in large cities. My research addresses a number of questions: What ideas
drive contemporary models of governance? How can we explain the emergence of and transitions in the institutional hardware and
software of third party governance? How can the democratic performance of these institutions be conceptualized and assessed? What
is the role of intermediaries between state and civil society, and especially public managers and community leaders as situated agents?
How do ideas about governance relate to the construction of performance? I have also been approaching questions of governance and
performance thru the lens of management studies, focusing on institutional explanations of poor performance by local governments
and other public organizations.

My general research interests lie in the systemic explanation of the variations in individuals’ perceptions of policy problems, their
policy preferences and their behaviors under certain policy arrangements within highly contentious and controversial domains. More
specifically, I have been intrigued by the ontological and epistemological nature of the inherent risks posed by the implementation of
science and technology (particularly those related with scientific and sociopolitical controversies caused by high levels of embedded
uncertainty and complexity), the different ways individual members of society interpret and perceive benefits and risks, and the
related impact on society in general and certain individuals and groups in particular. Recognizing the childhood vaccine risk
controversy and the reemerging threat of preventable deadly diseases in certain U.S. communities, my dissertation research directly
addresses the aforementioned issues based upon the analyses of original data acquired from focus group interviews and a subsequent
nationwide Internet survey of 1,213 American adults conducted in 2010.

My recent research is in terrorism and public policy. I am currently revising an article which contends that the use of the "poor man's
bomb" is as much a policy statement as pre-emptive strikes against nations who may or may not be a threat to another nation at some
point in time (this is not looking at the legitimacy or illegitimacy of either). I am using a form of innovation diffusion theory to
suggest that terrorism across the world looks at the effectiveness of an action in another part of the world to evaluate the effectiveness
of a particular action. This then could be used as a policy tool on other areas as well. I am also looking at several areas of
environmental policy in regards to climate change and the rational of allowing non-industrialized nations a "pass" when it comes to
the evaluation of legitimate claims of disregarding the need for a global change of view when it comes to global environmental
challenges.

Many countries are at a crossroads in terms of maintaining their energy supply. The use of fossil fuels has reached a point when the
existing resources appear to be dwindling, while combustion is contributing to rapidly accelerating climate change and global
warming. Several national governments and energy companies regard nuclear power as one piece in the design of future
sustainability, energy security, and economic prosperity. There are, however, grave downsides to a nuclear power renaissance. Besides
the inevitable problems of nuclear weapons proliferation, the fact that no country has established a final waste repository for spent
nuclear fuel and HLW throws fundamental doubt on nuclear energy expansion. Such an expansion would increase the total amount of
waste, spread it over a growing number of countries, and postpone the final date for generating additional waste into the remote
future. To that must be added that the processes of globalization have transformed the nuclear industry in the direction of increased
privatization, concentration, and internationalization. This leads to uncertainties regarding to who will assume responsibility and meet
the challenges for developing safe and secure nuclear waste management. In these circumstances is it of greatest importance that
researchers from different disciplines and countries meet to share experiences. From this background my current research agenda is to
initiate and carry through research which could contribute to a responsible foresight and a critical global discussion regarding HLWmanagement.

My research is directed toward developing theory, concepts, methods, and evidence that advance the study of American politics,
public law, and policy. Like many others, I have found the political cultural theory developed by Mary Douglas, Aaron Wildavsky,
and colleagues a particularly fruitful point of departure for doing so. These scholars theorize that politics, law, and policy are the
result of conflict and coalition among four basic political cultural types, which are defined by distinct values, organizational forms,
and beliefs about human and physical nature. Consequently, cultural theory allows policy analysts to anticipate the kinds of values,
and the kinds of beliefs about human nature, the environment, and the economy that are likely to be associated with different kinds of
social organization. Additionally, cultural theory allows analysts to infer which policy problems are likely to arise, which policy
solutions are most feasible, and which policy advocacy coalitions most probable in different cultural contexts. Unlike many other
political cultural theories, this cultural approach is highly complementary to rational choice and institutional theories of politics and
policymaking and in fact will allow them to make significant advances. Cultural theory simultaneously pluralizes and bounds
rationality, specifying multiple equilibria but not allowing an infinite number. A good introduction to this approach can be found in a
symposium I edited on "A Cultural Theory of Politics" in the October 2011 issue of PS: Political Science & Politics, which includes a
number of pieces that will be of interest to policy scholars. To test and develop this political cultural theory requires research on the
ideological structure of political attitudes and values, the organization and policymaking activities of legal institutions, and the role
scientists play in constructing our understandings of nature. Accordingly, I am doing research in all of these areas.

My research follows two separate but related paths. One path examines the roles of agency executives in the initiation and adoption of
public policies, with special attention to the governance questions that arise when professional administrators serve a democratic
state. My other research is on the design and evaluation of local government water resource policies. These two lines of research
come together in a significant new project on executive leadership in water utilities, funded by the Water Research Foundation, to be
conducted in 2011-2012. Other current efforts include studies on bureaucratic agency accreditation by professional organizations
(with Adam Hughes) and the roles of technocratic agencies on the politics of economic liberalization in Africa (with M. Anne
Pitcher).

My research interests are twofold. The first is the systematic, analytical-empirical study of the policy process. A large, funded
research project ('policy implementation under adversity') studies the effects of political polarization on agency behavior. My second
research interest is public management in inter-organizational networks and agency performance. A large, funded research project
('the implementation of policy innovations in organizations') studies the effects of networks on a.o. agency performance, red tape, and
the occupational health and performance of street-level employees in service delivery organizations. In addition, I am involved in a
large, funded research project on the contagion of industrial conflict through the networks of negotiators and identification by
employees.

Nuclear waste disposal in the U.S. has been thrown into disarray by the Obama Administration's decision that the Yucca Mountain
geological repository in Nevada is "not workable.” The Department of Energy has requested that its license application to the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission be withdrawn. The Department has appointed the members of the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's
Nuclear Future to advise on alternatives for disposing of nuclear reactor waste. I am following the Commission proceedings and am
analyzing their draft report. I have made a brief presentation at one of the Commission meetings, including suggestions for revising
the political process for approval of a proposed site and establishing interim storage sites. In addition, I am following and analyzing
the litigation and congressional reactions to the withdrawal of the Yucca Mountain license. I am also following policies emerging
from the Fukushima reactor site accident in Japan. This accident has led some countries to question their commitment to nuclear
power. It remains to be seen whether this will be the case in the United States. At the present time the sequence of events at
Fukushima is not well understood and it presently is uncertain what changes in nuclear waste management policies will emerge from
analysis of the Fukushima events.

advanced aspects of organizational politics, especially in the public sector, and potential explanatory models for its emergence and
consequences. I also focus on the meaning of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), especially its dark side of Compulsory
OCB, innovation and change in public organizations, as well as behavior in this environment. My goal is to explore the effect of these
behaviors on performance and affectivity, both at the individual and organizational levels. Another track is to advance knowledge on
the comparative prospects for the private and the public sectors. (2) Public administration and politics: here I intend to focus on trust
and satisfaction of citizens and their impact on public policy and on political behavior and involvement. I try to explore citizens' role
in governance, citizens' participation in politics and in public administration activity, collaboration among the three sectors (private,
public, and third sector), citizens' attitudes towards governments and their relationship with democratic mechanisms both in the
federal, state, and the local level. In this area I examine the behaviors of both citizens and public personnel under dynamics of change
and reforms in modern nations.

My research is driven by my interests, which vary from time to time. The project on the courts derived when I discovered a measure
in the bureaucratic politics literature which could be transposed to the court setting to test the impact of congressionally and state
legislatively passed laws on the decision making patterns of federal and state judges. We are considering moving the unit of analysis
to judges in other nations. My work on the American presidency has involved an analysis of the effects of the public expectations gap
on presidential performance and has been published widely with Hank Jenkins-Smith and Carol Silva. I also have developed this
theme in a book called The Changing American Presidency, soon to enter its fourth edition. In recent years I also have taken the
discussion and analysis of politics to the world of fiction with my first novel The Oracle: The Succession War. The idea is to make
government and politics relevant to undergraduate students and to provide an entertaining books. The reviews have been astonishing
and of great comfort as I work on the two sequel novels. I have received NSF funding, I have testified before a Senate Committee

research at Oxford and other universities, as well as a forum on sustainable environment in Japan.

My work focuses primarily on policy design and local capacity building for emergency management and Homeland Security. The
sociopolitical, as well as legal, environment is one in which authority is fragmented, resources are dispersed, and capacities are
uneven. It is an environment that requires intergovernmental, inter-sector, and inter-organizational collaboration. Disasters, including
terrorism-related disasters, also require considerable flexibility and improvisation. Identifying mechanisms that encourage effective
collaboration at the organizational level and the skill-set that supports collaboration at the individual level is the goal.

My work has focused on federal budgeting policy and politics, health policy and politics both in the U.S. and across the advanced
industrial democracies, and entitlement or social insurance policy and politics in the United States. One theme of my work is to be
careful about the scale of effects: for example, the econometric evidence about the relationship between budget balances and
economic growth does not support strong policy prescriptions. Another is to define problems carefully: thus the health care costs
associated with population aging in the U.S. are exaggerated if you focus on our federal budget rather than on society, which is an
artifact of having Medicare and Medicaid but not having national health insurance. A third is to recognize limitations on knowledge
and institutional capacity. Much of my recent work has addressed issues of health care cost control; in 2009 I had articles with
colleagues in Health Affairs, Annals of Internal Medicine, and New England Journal of Medicine. After passage of the 2010 reform
legislation, I have done a series of pieces on both the politics and the policy choices. I also am doing some work on federal budgeting,
particularly on how the president's budget fits into the system. This includes a book chapter on President Obama and the budget, a
forthcoming article in Public Administration Review on the demise of the PART process for the president's budget, and work on
whether the Social Security trust funds are "real."

I have just finished editing a book with Peter Enns, entitled Who Gets Represented? (Russell Sage Foundation, 2011), that addresses
representational inequality in the United States. The volume focuses on: (a) the degree to which preferences for policy actually differ
across groups in the US, and (b) how the evident differences in preferences matter for policy itself, i.e., whether some opinions are
better represented than others. The chapters reveal that there is substantial similarity in preferences across groups and that, even
where differences exist, the preferences of those in the middling and upper socioeconomic status are strikingly similar. Most of the
chapters also show that policymakers are more responsive to the preferences of the middle and upper strata than those at the bottom.
The finding is not surprising given the patterned similarities in public preferences and the electoral importance of the median voter. I
also am undertaking comparative research with Stuart Soroka that builds on our recent book (Degrees of Democracy, Cambridge
University Press, 2010). Some of the new research examines how federalism structures public responsiveness to policy. Other work
considers the influence of electoral and government institutions on the representation of public opinion in policy. For more, see http://

I continue to be concerned with the communication of policy meanings, both through the methods or tools of communication and in
the substantive meanings, the latter in certain policy issue areas. Current research extends the earlier analysis of U.S. race-ethnic
categories in public policy and administrative practices to The Netherlands, in the context of 'migration' and 'integration' policies. This
is a comparative policy project that focuses on language use in various aspects of the policy setting. Other work looks at policy
frames/framing and frame analysis; state research regulation policies and practices (e.g., U.S. IRBs); science museums and the idea of
'science'; insider/outsider research relationships; and practice studies, including reflective practice.

I am working right now on a research paper entitled "Political Division and Democratization in the Middle East." A small description
on the project: When we look to the legislative elections in Lebanon, the Palestinian Authority, and Iraq, these elections, rather than
creating conditions of stability and political harmony, accelerated their societies' entrance into conflict and political rivalry, setting the
stage for intense fighting and outbidding. Although the touted paradigm of democratic transition claims to guarantee peace and
stability, it appears difficult, if not impossible for political entities in the Middle East, even the ones which have seemingly adhered to
the standards of democratization, to attain peace and stability. The strange paradoxes presented in the three latter cases is that the need
for democracy is supposed to rise higher than degrees of division and unity. It is believed to be able to moderate the positions of the
involved parties, spurring them to re-draft both evaluations and calculations, ultimately leading them to consensus, and even perhaps
compromise. The exact opposite, however, happened in these cases.

The PSO symbol is the 47th problem of the famous scholar Euclid. Called the
Pythagorean Theorem as it was Pythagoras, an Aeonian Greek, who established an
academy where the proposition was debated, and central to ancient scholarship, it
represents applying knowledge to practical needs. An avocational mathematician and
President of the United States, James Garfield, discovered an alternative proof. His son,
Harry Garfield, longtime President of Williams College and President of the American
Political Science Association, once owned the house in Washington now housing the
APSA and the PSO.

Challenges Facing Chinese Political Development
Series Editor: Professor Sujian Guo ([email protected])
San Francisco State University, USA
In an attempt to reflect the rapidly changing political environment of the People's
Republic of China, Professor Sujian Guo has assembled a book series to present
specialized areas of research in current Chinese political studies. Incorporating
theoretical, empirical, and policy research on contemporary Chinese politics both
domestically and internationally, this series contemplates the Chinese past, present, and
future by utilizing interdisciplinary perspectives to approach issues related to Chinese
politics, economy, culture, social development, reform, the military, legal system, and
foreign relations.

Book Series

Middle East Classics
Series Editor: Professor Paul Rich ([email protected])
President, Policy Studies Organization
This series will provide a forum for understanding the current American occupation of
Iraq through the lens of the British occupation of Iraq following the break up of the
Ottoman Empire.
That overused saying about how those who are ignorant of the past are doomed to repeat
it, is redeemed by events in the modern Middle East. Going back in time is mandatory in
understanding the region's current problems. Part of the present problem is a failure to
understand what happened before American incursions. Lawrence of Arabia was not the
only romantic whose prejudices and passions produced boundaries and dilemmas that
today defy policy makers, as the remarkable books in this series demonstrate.
Selected, edited and introduced by Professor Paul Rich, they illustrate how the results of
a now forgotten era is still felt -- knots tied on the tapestry by the collision of the British
and Ottoman Empires, the aspirations of the Viceroys of India, the confusions at the
Versailles peace conference, and even the ritualisms of Masonic lodges and English
public schools. Seldom has the long arm of a very peculiar history reached out so far. The
lasting effects are little understood in the complex confrontations today in Iraq, Iran, and
the Gulf.

Government in the new millennium demands creative new approaches to managing
change. Faced with the impact of globalization, technological revolution, and political
reform, what can be done to encourage economic growth, develop more effective public
administration at home, and forge strong and lasting relationships abroad?
Lexington Books and the Policy Studies Organization's Studies in Public Policy series
bring together the best in new and original scholarship, spanning the range of global
policy questions. Its multidisciplinary texts combine penetrating analysis of policy
formulation at the macro level with innovative and practical solutions for policy
implementation. It provides the political and social scientist with the latest academic
research and the policymaker with effective tools to tackle the most pressing issues faced
by government today.

Franklin Roosevelt wrote in 1932, “The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country
demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails,
admit it frankly and try another.” The Policy Studies Organization is very proud to play at least a
small part in the growth of the Roosevelt Institution, a student led think tank with chapters now on
many campuses and an extraordinary roster of senior faculty, government, and business advisers.
Taking both the Hyde Park and Oyster Bay Roosevelts as historical mentors, the Roosevelt Institution
is doing first class scholarly work. In the three Policy Studies Organization journals, we occasionally
present the ideas they have put forward for discussion. They are sometimes ingenious, sometimes
startling, and always interesting. These troubled days we need that kind of thinking. Theodore
Roosevelt remarked, “Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell ‘em, ‘Certainly I can!’ Then
get busy and find out how to do it.”
The Policy Studies Organization Headquarters
By Paul Rich
Sometimes, to paraphrase Winston Churchill, people make buildings and then buildings
make people. The Policy Studies Organization international headquarters is just off
Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C. at 1527 New Hampshire Avenue. It is no ordinary
address.
The building itself was designed by Thomas Franklin Schneider and constructed in 1889.
Schneider was much in favor as a society architect and his is the most famous apartment
building of the time, The Cairo, which still stands at 1615 Q Street. Nicknamed the
Young Napoleon for his sense of style, Schneider was influenced by architects Louis
Sullivan and Henry Hobson Richardson, and 1527 New Hampshire has hints of their
work.
In
the
1890s
the
neighborhood
included
congressmen and cabinet
members, as well as
socialites.
The
first
occupant of 1527 was
Colonel
Benjamin
Blanchard, who moved n
with no less than five
servants,
including
a
coachman.
Blanchard
almost immediately, in
1892, built an addition on
the
back,
again
by
Schneider.
When Blanchard died in 1900, the house was sold to Admiral George Remey. Remey
commanded a gunboat in the Civil War, spent part of the war in a prison camp in South
Carolina, and during the Spanish-American War commanded the naval base at Key West,
Florida. He then led a flotilla in the Pacific, and saw duty in China during the Boxer
Rebellion. The 1910 census shows that Remey and his wife lived in the house with his
son Charles, who was a young architect, and four other children. Charles subsequently
became world leader in the Bahai faith; he wrote extensively on religious matters while
livjng with his parents.
In 1926 the house passed to the family of labor leader Samuel Gompers, and Gompers
sold the property to the American War Mothers, known popularly as the Gold Star
Mothers because of their display in their homes of a flag with a blue star for a son on
active service and a gold star for a son killed in action. In 1941 the house again had new
owners Rubie Youngblood and her daughter, who maintained a boarding house for
congressmen and other professionals.
The Youngbloods also bought 1529 New Hampshire, the adjoining property, and
integrated the two buildings into one property. The first occupant of 1529 New
Hampshire had been the Reverend Richard Lewis Howell, a socially prominent
Episcopalian clergyman and rector of St. Margaret’s Church at the corner of Connecticut
Avenue and Bancroft Place. Howell caused a stir in 1905 when he married the sister of
the French Princess de Bearn in Palm Beach.
The next longterm occupant was Dr. Harry Garfield, who had been summoned to
Washington by his friend President Woodrow Wilson to be part of the Wilson kitchen
cabinet and serve as federal fuel administrator. The side of the present house where the
Phi Beta Delta and Policy Studies Organization offices are was part of Garfield’s home.
He was the son of James A. Garfield, the twentieth President of the United States, and
appears in many illustrations of his father’s assassination at Union Station in July 1881.
He was accompanying his father that day and comforted him after the attack. He was
President of Williams College from 1908 to 1934 and the Policy Studies offices display
material related to him on loan from the Trustees of Williams College and frequently host
Williams College alumni committee meetings.
