Download or read book Dam Politics written by William Robert Lowry and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The politics of building dams and levees and other structures are just part of the policies determining how American rivers are managed or mismanaged. America's well-being depends upon the health of those rivers and important decisions go beyond just dam-building or dam removal. American rivers are suffering from poor water quality, altered flows, and diminished natural habitat. Current efforts by policymakers to change the ways American rivers are managed range from the removal of dams to the simulation of seasonal flows to the restoration of habitat, all with varying degrees of success. Efforts to restore American rivers are clearly delineated by William Lowry in Dam Politics as he looks at how public policy and rivers interact, examines the physical differences in rivers that affect policies, and analyzes the political differences among the groups that use them. He argues that we are indeed moving into an era of restoration (defined in part as removing dams but also as restoring the water quality, seasonal flows, and natural habitat that existed before structural changes to the rivers), and seeks to understand the political circumstances that affect the degree of restoration. Lowry presents case studies of eight river restoration efforts, including dam removals on the Neuse and Kennebec rivers, simulation of seasonal flows on the Colorado river, and the failed attempt to restore salmon runs on the Snake river. He develops a typology of four different kinds of possible change--dependent on the parties involved and the physical complexity of the river--and then examines the cases using natural historical material along with dozens of interviews with key policymakers. Policy approaches such as conjunctive water management, adaptive management, alternative licensing processes, and water marketing are presented as possible ways of using our rivers more wisely. Dam Politics provides a useful and systematic account of how American waterways are managed and how current policies are changing. American rivers are literally the lifeblood of our nation. Lowry has written a lively and accessible book that makes it clear as a mountain stream that it matters deeply how those rivers are managed.

Download or read book Reform and Reaction in Twentieth Century American Politics written by John J. Broesamle and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1990-04-24 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work provides an overview and analysis of the rise, development, decline, and end of liberal reform movements and their alternation with periods of reaction in the United States from the 1890s through the mid-1980s. Broesamle's volume reassesses the course of U.S. political history over the last century and presents a new theory of American politics that reinterprets the way the system actually produces change. He relates the life cycles of reform movements to the key social, economic, and cultural developments of their eras, investigates commonalities among movements, and assesses the extent to which each movement is individual. No other history of liberalism has propounded the same thesis. The work is ambitious in its intellectual breadth and inclusiveness, and exceptionally comprehensive in both design and execution. Reform and Reaction answers the questions: What is the exact nature of the reform-reaction rhythm? What gives rise to it? Is it truly cyclical? Does each crest and trough resemble its prior and succeeding counterpart, or are they distinct? If there is a resemblance, can these political transformations be expected to repeat themselves in the future? The answers to these questions will alter previous perceptions of the relationship between the political realm and society at large and especially with respect to such phenomena as upheavals of youth, the rise and decline of campaigns on behalf of workers and farmers, feminist movements, and changing moral standards. The study is divided into three major sections: Reform, Resistance, and Reaction, each of which is preceded by a short introductory essay that establishes its fundamental direction. By employing historical examples and resurveying the chronological territory chapter by chapter, the study details the reform movements of the Progressive Era, the New Deal, and the Kennedy-Johnson period of the 60s as well as the reactionary periods of the 1920s, the 1950s, and the 1970s and 1980s. Broesamle establishes links between political trends on one hand, and social and intellectual trends on the other, that have not been delineated before. Reform and Reaction in Twentieth Century American Politics has a wide appeal to a very broad audience: professors and teachers in the fields of twentieth century U.S. history and political science, practicing political professionals, journalists covering the American political scene, and any informed generalist interested in learning more about historical and contemporary politics in the U.S. The book would be an addition to the reading lists for graduate and upper division classes on virtually any aspect of American political history from the 1890s to the mid-1980s as well as courses on current political affairs.

Download or read book American Politics in the 20th Century written by Alex Chase and published by Sourcebooks Explore. This book was released on 2001-07 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Politics in the 20th Century is a wonderful addition to Bluewood Books' 20th Century Series. Abraham Lincoln described democracy as government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Government in America has evolved from the system of pure democracy of the early Greeks to what is now commonly called a democratic republic, or government through freely elected representatives. American Politics in the 20th Century is jam-packed with fascinating facts and information, chronicling the history of national, state, and local politics as well as significant international events. The book details the evolution of major political entities, people, ideals and trends including political parties, national conventions and elections, backroom bosses and candidates, special interest and lobbying groups, campaign strategies, tactics and reform, platforms and issues, fund-raising corruption and scandals, the role of the media, and much more! Read about the domination by the Republican Party (it won 14 of 18 presidential elections from 1860 to 1932) and the new use of primary elections at the turn of the century; the election of Woodrow Wilson using the New Freedom platform and the formation of the Progressive, or Bull Moose Party in 1912 and the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913; a succession of Republican administrations in the '20s; FDRs New Deal of the '30s; the prematurely proclaimed Dewey victory over incumbent president Truman and the beginning of the Cold War in the '40s; the Eisenhower era, Nixon's Checkers speech, and McCarthyism in the '50s; the assassinations of JFK, RFK and Martin Luther King, Jr., and the anti-war protests and race riots of the'60s; the Watergate scandal and Nixon's resignation in the '70s; the Reagan era and the Iran-Contra scandal of the '80s; and the turbulent '90s, including President Clinton's latest political troubles. American Politics in the 20th Century is written in a clear and concise manner and presents the reader with a well organized and easy to follow format, including a detailed chronology section and decade-by-decade chapters along with numerous photos and sidebars full of interesting facts and information. -Thorough Chronology of Milestone Events -Ten Chapters - One for Each Decade -Filled with Fascinating Facts, Events and People -Packed with Interesting Sidebars -Over 100 Photographs and Illustrations -Complete Index
Download or read book Theology and World Politics written by Vassilios Paipais and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-02 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated within the wider post-secular turn in politics and international relations, this volume focuses not on religion per se, but rather explicitly on theology. Contributions to this collection highlight the political theological foundations of international theory and world politics, recasting theology and politics as symbiotic discourses with all the risks, promises and open questions this relation may involve. The overarching claim the book makes is that all politics has theology embedded in it, both in the genealogical sense of carrying ineradicable traces of rival theological traditions, and also in the more ontological sense of being enacted by alternative configurations of the theologico-political. The book is unique in bringing together a diverse group of scholars, spanning knowledge areas as varied as IR, political theory, philosophy, theology, and history to investigate the complex interconnections between theology and world politics. It will be of interest to students and scholars of political theory, international relations, intellectual history, and political theology.
Download or read book The United States in the Long Twentieth Century written by Michael Heale and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States in the Long Twentieth Century explores the nature of American politics and society in the period from 1900 to the present day, illuminating both the changes and the continuities. This was a period largely characterized by exceptional growth and international power, though one also assailed by the crises and divisions that Michael Heale carefully examines. A strength of the book is its integration of political with social history, and it thus explores a range of social, demographic and economic phenomena that have been central to American history in the long twentieth century, such as immigration and ethnicity, the labour, civil rights and environmental movements, and the role and achievements of women. This new and fully revised edition of the seminal student textbook Twentieth-Century America has been updated throughout to take recent scholarship in the field into account and also includes a number of important new features, including: - a brand new chapter on the years from 2000 onwards, covering 9/11, the financial crisis, and the rise of Barack Obama; - substantial revisions to Part III, covering 1969 to the present day, and in particular to the material on Reagan, Clinton, African Americans, immigrants, the growth of the financial sector and (de)regulation and global warming; one theme is the limits of conservatism and the resilience of liberalism; - greater emphasis on the United States in a transnational world and within the context of the rise of globalization. The United States in the Long Twentieth Century is a detailed guide to American political and social history since 1900 and an essential text for all students interested in the modern history of the United States of America.

Download or read book Twentieth Century America written by Michael Heale and published by Bloomsbury Academic. This book was released on 2004-01-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coined in 1941 by Time magazine publisher Henry Luce, the twentieth century has been called "America's Century" in anticipation that American values would continue to dominate and spread throughout the world stage as it had in the first part of the century. This title is a comprehensive analysis of the U.S. political system from 1900 to 2000, a period of unprecedented growth and power and one punctuated by crises and division. Part One focuses on the "Progressive Order" which emerged with the progressive movement at the beginning of the century and lasted until the stock market crash that lead to the Great Depression. Part Two begins in 1933 when President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal ushered in a era of big government liberalism which lasted until the late 1960s when it was undermined by dissension over Vietnam and racial and political turmoil. Part Three is called "Divided Order" and captures the last third of the century when the U.S. political system was characterized by hyper-partisanship, particularly when the White House and Congress were controlled by opposing parties. The issues of class, gender and race are explored as important formative influences in the course of American history, as was the role of American workers, immigrants, women, and African-Americans.

Download or read book The American Political Tradition written by Richard Hofstadter and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-12-21 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Political Tradition is one of the most influential and widely read historical volumes of our time. First published in 1948, its elegance, passion, and iconoclastic erudition laid the groundwork for a totally new understanding of the American past. By writing a "kind of intellectual history of the assumptions behind American politics," Richard Hofstadter changed the way Americans understand the relationship between power and ideas in their national experience. Like only a handful of American historians before him—Frederick Jackson Turner and Charles A. Beard are examples—Hofstadter was able to articulate, in a single work, a historical vision that inspired and shaped an entire generation.
