Retrenchment in the American Welfare State
The consolidation of public finance has become the most prevalent topic in recent policy discourse in the US. However, the political debate about fiscal "belt-tightening" stretches back to the last decades of the past millennium, induced by deteriorating economic conditions which followed the first oil price shock in the early 1970s. Retrenchment in the American Welfare State investigates to what extent different welfare state programs in the US were affected by cutbacks during the Republican Reagan era, on the one hand, and during the Democratic Clinton era on the other, and to what extent these cutbacks reveal certain "patterns" of retrenchment, and how the measured discrepancies can best be explained.

Presidential Healthcare Reform Rhetoric
This book analyzes the rhetorical strategies employed by the four Democratic presidents, Truman, Johnson, Clinton and Obama, who tried to expand access to and affordability of healthcare in the United States. It considers how they made such arguments, the ethics they advanced, and the vision of America they espoused. The author combines rhetoric analysis, policy analysis, and policy history to illuminate the dynamic nature of the way American presidents have imagined the moral and social bonds of the American people and their exhortations for governance and policy to reflect and honor these bonds and obligations. Schimmel illustrates how Democratic presidents invoke positive liberty and communitarian values in direct challenge to opposing conservative ideologies of limited government and prioritization of negative liberty and their increasing prominence in the post-Reagan era. He also draws attention to the ethical and policy compromises entailed by the usage of specific rhetorical strategies and their resulting discursive effects.

Single Molecule Sensing Beyond Fluorescence
This book provides an interesting snapshot of recent advances in the field of single molecule nanosensing. The ability to sense single molecules, and to precisely monitor and control their motion is crucial to build a microscopic understanding of key processes in nature, from protein folding to chemical reactions. Recently a range of new techniques have been developed that allow single molecule sensing and control without the use of fluorescent labels. This volume provides an overview of recent advances that take advantage of micro- and nanoscale sensing technologies and provide the prospect for rapid future progress. The book endeavors to provide basic introductions to key techniques, recent research highlights, and an outlook on big challenges in the field and where it will go in future. It is a valuable contribution to the field of single molecule nanosensing and it will be of great interest to graduates and researchers working in this topic.
Party Polarization in America
This book shows that party polarization in America is the norm, not the exception, and is rooted in class-based conflict characterizing all of American history.
"Government is the problem". Theoretische Grundlagen, Grundideen und Umsetzung der Wohlfahrtspolitik unter Ronald Reagan
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Amerika, Note: 1,3, Katholische Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die zentrale Fragestellung der Arbeit lautet: Inwiefern entsprach der Wohlfahrtsstaat unter Ronald Reagan neoliberalen Vorstellungen? Um diese Frage beantworten zu können, müssen jene neoliberalen Vorstellungen diesbezüglich jedoch erst einmal definiert werden. Hierfür werden zwei wegweisende Werke der wirtschaftsliberalen Theorie betrachtet: The Constitution of Liberty von Friedrich August von Hayek und Capitalism and Freedom von Milton Friedman. Sie zählen zu den bekanntesten und einflussreichsten Denkern des Neoliberalismus. Haye...
