The Politics of Education
Drawing from his experiences as a long-term congressman, John Brademas focuses on policy formation to examine the politics of federal support for education. Brademas provides both analytic histories of representative education legislation and philosophical meditations on the relationship between education and democracy.
Civility in America
In every sector of American society, civility has declined-from vicious political rhetoric to attacks in the blogosphere and lack of personal decency. In 2011, The Dilenschneider Group, a strategic communications firm, sponsored a series of lectures on civility in conjunction with the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs. Collected in this volume are the thoughts of some of the nation's most insightful minds as they explore this crisis and offer their opinions as to how we can restore civility in society. Featuring: HENRY KAUFMAN on Civility in the Financial Sector CHARLES OSGOOD on Civility in the Media JOHN BRADEMAS on Civility in Public Life STEVE FORBES on Civility in Corporate America PHILIP K. HOWARD on Civility in Society MICKEY EDWARDS on Civility in Politics With an introduction by Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, CSC
Early Start
In the United States, preschool education is characterized by the dominance of a variegated private sector and patchy, uncoordinated oversight of the public sector. Tracing the history of the American debate over preschool education, Andrew Karch argues that the current state of decentralization and fragmentation is the consequence of a chain of reactions and counterreactions to policy decisions dating from the late 1960s and early 1970s, when preschool advocates did not achieve their vision for a comprehensive national program but did manage to foster initiatives at both the state and national levels. Over time, beneficiaries of these initiatives and officials with jurisdiction over preschool education have become ardent defenders of the status quo. Today, advocates of greater government involvement must take on a diverse and entrenched set of constituencies resistant to policy change. In his close analysis of the politics of preschool education, Karch demonstrates how to apply the concepts of policy feedback, critical junctures, and venue shopping to the study of social policy.
