National Finance Center Government - HOME National Finance Center Government The New Public Finance: Responding to Global Challenges The world's agenda of international cooperation has changed. The conventional concerns of foreign affairs, international trade, and development assistance, are increasingly sharing the political center stage with a new set of issues.

Radio Nation: Communication, Popular Culture, and Nationalism in Mexico, 1920-1950 by Joy Elizabeth Hayes, The role of mass communication in nation building has often been underestimated, particularly in the case of Mexico.

Oregon State Government - HOME Oregon State Government Bringing Society Back in: Grassroots Ecosystem Management, Accountability, and Sustainable Communities by Edward P. Weber, In the last two decades, people in a growing number of localities in the United States have developed grassroots ecosystem management (GREM) as a means to resolve policy problems affecting their environment, economy, and communities. Ad hoc and voluntary groups of environmentalists, developers, businesspeople, federal and state resource managers, farmers, loggers, local citizens, and those representing recreation interests use deliberation and consensus to enhance public policy performance. Instead of focusing on specific issues such as air pollution, GREM emphasizes the integrated management of entire watersheds and ecosystems. But what happens to democratic accountability in these collaborative efforts? Despite concerns that they might result in special interest government, the acceleration of environmental degradation, and an end-run around national environmental protection laws, this book suggests otherwise."Bringing Society Back In establishes a theoretical framework for exploring issues of policy performance and democratic accountability raised by GREM. Through three case studies--the Applegate Partnership ...

Wic Government Program - HOME Wic Government Program Medicaid and the Costs of Federalism, 1984-1992 by Jean Gilman, While assistance programs for the poor have never been as popular as those for the elderly, one such program, Medicaid, became a favorite target for expansion by state and national policymakers during the fiscally conservative 1980s and early 1990s. As a result, Medicaid's expenditures began to grow at rates double that of Medicare which serves the elderly. The author explores the complex political and institutional factors, as well as the contribution of one exceptionally motivated individual, Henry Waxman ... situation. Why was Medicaid singled out as virtually the only health care program expanded by Congress during these years? The answer is in the nature of the policy itself -- Medicaid's shared financing mechanism -- in which program costs are paid for jointly by the federal and state governments. Such an arrangement diffuses responsibility, increasing opportunities for shifting costs, blame, and/or credit between levels of government. This study presents numerous examples in which the federal government and states expanded the Medicaid program to serve their own interests, while shifting part or all of ...
