Campaigns and Elections Players and Processes

Campaigns and Elections Players and Processes

Stephen K. Medvic’s Campaigns and Elections is a comprehensive yet compact core text that addresses two distinct but related aspects of American electoral democracy: the processes that constitute campaigns and elections and the players who are involved. In addition to balanced coverage of process and actors it gives equal billing to both campaigns and elections and covers contests for legislative and executive positions at the national state and local levels including issue-oriented campaigns of note. The book opens by providing students with the conceptual distinctions between what happens in an election and the campaigning that precedes it. Significant attention is devoted to setting up the context for these campaigns and elections by covering the rules of the game in the American electoral system as well as aspects of election administration and the funding of elections. Then the book systematically covers the actors at every level—candidates and their organizations parties interest groups the media and voters—and the macro-level aspects of campaigns such as campaign strategy and determinants of election outcomes. The book concludes with a big-picture assessment of campaign ethics and implications of the permanent campaign. New to the Fourth Edition: • Fully updated through the 2020 elections looking ahead to the 2022 midterms • Covers the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the 2020 election as well as the January 6 2021 insurrection at the US Capitol • Adds new sections in Chapter 3 on election integrity and the assessment of election administration • Reviews recent Supreme Court cases on gerrymandering and faithless electors • Expands coverage of social media as a source of news of the increasingly partisan nature of the media and of the role of media fact-checking in campaigns and elections • Reorganizes the chapters on the various actors so that the chapter on candidates leads directly to the chapter on campaigns • Fully updates the resources listed at the end of each chapter | Campaigns and Elections Players and Processes

Service Provision and Rural Sustainability Infrastructure and Innovation

Service Provision and Rural Sustainability Infrastructure and Innovation

Access to quality services and community infrastructure are vital parts of supporting sustainable and resilient rural and small town places. Renewing outdated infrastructure and supporting the delivery of services in rural communities present significant challenges from the constrained fiscal and policy realities of the 21st century. Drawing upon contributors from five Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries this book describes innovative service delivery and community infrastructure models that are appropriate to the contemporary rural and resource-dependent regions of developed economies. The examples show that an entrepreneurial approach to service delivery and infrastructure provision by local organizations and governments is needed. Critical economic and community development supports are crucial to assist creative and innovative sets of solutions that work for small communities. Chapters in this book argue that community development foundations for resilient rural and small town communities and regions must be co-constructed and co-delivered in partnership by both local and senior government actors in terms of both policy and committed resources. This volume will be extremely valuable for students scholars and community development practitioners exploring policy-making government initiatives and community service provision in rural and small town places. | Service Provision and Rural Sustainability Infrastructure and Innovation

Law and Economics Philosophical Issues and Fundamental Questions

Law and Economics Philosophical Issues and Fundamental Questions

The Law and Economics approach to law dominates the intellectual discussion of nearly every doctrinal area of law in the United States and its influence is growing steadily throughout Europe Asia and South America. Numerous academics and practitioners are working in the field with a flow of uninterrupted scholarship that is unprecedented as is its influence on the law. Academically every major law school in the United States has a Law and Economics program and the emergence of similar programs on other continents continues to accelerate. Despite its phenomenal growth the area is also the target of an ongoing critique by lawyers philosophers psychologists social scientists even economists since the late 1970s. While the critique did not seem to impede the development of the field it certainly has helped it to become more sophisticated inclusive and mature. In this volume some of the leading scholars working in the field as well as a number of those critical of Law and Economics discuss the foundational issues from various perspectives: philosophical moral epistemological methodological psychological political legal and social. The philosophical and methodological assumptions of the economic analysis of law are criticized and defended alternatives are proposed old and new applications are discussed. The book is ideal for a main or supplementary textbook in courses and seminars on legal theory philosophy of law jurisprudence and (of course) Law and Economics. | Law and Economics Philosophical Issues and Fundamental Questions
