Download or read book The United States Subnational Relations with Divided China written by Czeslaw Tubilewicz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-23 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines US subnational engagement in foreign relations, or paradiplomacy, with China and Taiwan from 1949 to 2020. As an alternative diplomatic history of the United States’ relations with divided China, it offers an in-depth chronological and thematic discussion of state and local communities’ responses to the China-Taiwan sovereignty conflict and their impact on US diplomacy. The book explains why paradiplomacy matters not only in the ‘low politics’ of economic and cultural cooperation, but also in the ‘high politics’ of diplomatic recognition. Presenting case studies of US states and cities developing policies towards divided China that paralleled, clashed or aligned with those pursued by federal agencies, it also identifies Chinese and Taiwanese objectives and strategies deployed when competing for US subnational ties. Conceptually, the book builds upon Constructivism, redefining paradiplomacy as an institutional fact, reflective of subnational identities and interests, rather than as a subnational pursuit of foreign markets, driven by objective economic forces. Featuring new empirical evidence and a novel conceptual framework for paradiplomacy, The United States’ Subnational Relations with Divided China will be a useful resource for students and scholars of US foreign policy, the politics of China and Taiwan, paradiplomacy and international relations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the most invasive form of government in the United States? Which one can most directly mess with your life, your family every day, every moment, 24/7?The federal government? That massive, indifferent bureaucracy managing labyrinthine social programs, a huge military and formidable, security agencies monitoring your phone calls, email, and texts - all for your protection? Got to be the feds, right?Wrong.Who governs your water purity, the number and types of pets may keep? Who determines how many police and fire personnel are necessary to protect you, how many libraries you get and whether they provide free computers? Who operates those tiny digital cameras monitoring your intersections? Who?City hall. Astonishingly powerful. Touching your life, every moment, every day. Acceptable perhaps, but only if your local government provides you quality city services, remains attentive to your needs, and works to ensure that you remain the top priority of all city operation and planning.But, what if you city hall seems unconcerned about how that power affects you? What if the local government your tax money supports treats you as a nuisance when you demand city services? What if your local elected officials are more interested in accommodating big development and big business than you? What do you do?Revolt! That's what author Joe B. Vaughan, Jr. did in the early-1990s. He led a highly successful, democratic coup against his ineffective, corrupt local government, ultimately electing a 5-7 majority voting bloc on city council to run the city exactly as his neighbors and he wanted. You can too. The Suburban Manifesto describes how to effectively organize your movement, establish a communications network, create presentations to influence/intimidate city commissions/boards/councils, use the media to your benefit, select/elect good candidates. Read The Suburban Manifesto. Make city hall do exactly what you want! It's your right.

Download or read book America the Owner s Manual written by Bob Graham and published by CQ Press. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2016, Americans fed up with the political process vented that frustration with their votes. Republicans nominated for president a wealthy businessman and former reality show host best known on the campaign trail for his sharp rhetoric against immigration and foreign trade. Democrats nearly selected a self-described socialist who ran on a populist platform against the influence of big money in politics. While it is not surprising that Americans would channel their frustrations into votes for contenders who pledge to end business as usual, the truth is that we don’t have to pin our hopes for greater participation on any one candidate. All of us have a say—if we learn, master and practice the skills of effective citizenship. One of the biggest roadblocks to participation in democracy is the perception that privileged citizens and special interests command the levers of power and that everyday Americans can’t fight City Hall. That perception is undoubtedly why a 2015 Pew Charitable Trusts survey found that 74 percent of those Americans surveyed believed that most elected officials didn't care what people like them thought. Graham and Hand intend to change that conventional wisdom by showing citizens how to flex their citizenship muscles. They describe effective citizenship skills and provide tips from civic experts. Even more importantly, they offer numerous examples of everyday Americans who have used their skills to make democracy respond. The reader will see themselves in these examples of citizens who chose to be victorious participants rather than tranquil spectators in the arena of democracy. By the end of the book, you will have new confidence that citizen participation is the lifeblood of America -- and will be ready to make governments work for you, not the other way around.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities are reinventing themselves to adapt and respond to their evolving contexts. One instrument that local government is leveraging is innovation. To understand how cities approach public sector innovation, the OECD and Bloomberg Philanthropies carried out a survey on innovation capacity across 89 cities in OECD countries and non-OECD economies. The focus of the survey was to unpack the capacity to innovate in the local public sector and explore the resources – human, financial, and institutional – and how they can work to boost innovation in a city.
