Social Security and the Politics of Deservingness
This book seeks to understand the politics of deservingness for future Social Security reforms through an interpretive policy analysis of the 2005 Social Security privatization debates. What does it mean for politics and policymaking that Social Security recipients are widely viewed as deserving of the benefits they receive? In the 2005 privatization debates, Congress framed Social Security in exclusively positive terms, often in opposition to welfare, and imagined their own beloved family members as recipients. Advocates for private accounts sought to navigate the politics of deservingness by dividing the “we” of social insurance to a “me” of private investment and a “them” of individual rate of return in order to justify the introduction of private accounts into Social Security. Fiscal stress on the program will likely bring Social Security to the policy agenda soon. Understanding the politics of deservingness will be central to navigating those debates.
Von Volkstümlern und Falschspielern
Bereits seit über 40 Jahren ist der Vorwurf des Populismus ein beliebtes Mittel im demokratischen Schlagabtausch politischer Gegner. Anhand der empirischen Auswertung seines Einsatzes im Deutschen Bundestag geht Jan-Holm Sussieck der Frage nach, wer ihn wem gegenüber formuliert und analysiert seinen Inhalt und Zusammenhang. Die Annahme, vor allem Außenseiterparteien wie die AfD würden in dieser Form stigmatisiert, hält nicht stand. Zugleich deckt das in der aktuellen Politikwissenschaft vertretene Verständnis von Populismus, so die Erkenntnis, nur einen kleinen Teil dessen ab, was darunter verhandelt wird. Um seiner Verwendung in der politischen Praxis analytisch gerecht zu werden, schlägt der Autor vor, gerade auch die vielen alltäglichen Populismusvorwürfe innerhalb des politischen Mainstreams soziologisch ernstzunehmen.

North American Exploration
The third volume of North American Exploration, covering 1784 to 1914, charts a dramatic shift in the purpose, priorities, and results of the exploration of North America. As the nineteenth century opened, exploration was still fostered by the growth of empire, but by the 1830s commercial interests came to drive most exploratory ventures, particularly through the fur trade. By midcentury, however, as imperial rivalries lessened and the fur trade declined, exploration was driven by the growing scientific spirit of the age?although the science was often conducted in the service of a search for railroad routes or natural resources linked to military concerns. A clear transition took place as the spirit of the Enlightenment gave way to economic imperatives and to the science of the post-Darwinian age and exploration passed beyond discovery and geographical definition. This volume explores the resultant beginnings of an understanding of the continent and its native peoples.
