Download or read book Policy Implementation of Social Welfare in the 1980s written by Frederick A. Lazin and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its highly centralized politièal institutions, Israel is typical of the unitary, nonfederal politièal systems in the world. On the other hand, with its growing emè¨hasis on federalism, the United States reveals the functions and dysfunctions of the pluralist sysè² em. In this provocative book, Frederick Lazin compares the two types of political systems to show how municipalities in Isè¨ael, as in the United States, exèrt considerable influence on implementation of national doè¡«estic policies. He argues conèµ³incingly that unitary systems have many of the same diffièulties that their federal counè² erparts have in implementing social welfare policies. This study provides a theè§retical basis for understanding how administrative institutional system and socioeconomic staè² us variables affect the potential influence of municipalities and make implementation of policies so problematic. It develops a model for policy implementation in unitary systems which then serves as a framework of analyè²is for a series of case studies of social welfare, education, and health policy in Israel. Comè¨arisons are then made with the federal political system of the United States in which the naè² ional government needs the cooperation of local authorities to implement its policies. Referènce is made to federal housing policies and programs for low-inèome Americans. Similarities as well as differences are noted beè² ween the two systems in order to reach conclusions about polè¹cy implementation regardless of type of political system. The book contributes both to the general literature on policy implementation as well as to the politics of unitary versus federal systems. It provides a unique and important analysis of probè¡ems confronting both types of system in the area of policy imè¨lementation of social welfare programs, which remain imporè² ant concerns in political sysè² ems throughout the world.
Download or read book The Limits of Social Policy written by Nathan Glazer and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many social policies of the 1960s and 1970s, designed to overcome poverty and provide a decent minimum standard of living for all Americans, ran into trouble in the 1980s--with politicians, with social scientists, and with the American people. Nathan Glazer has been a leading analyst and critic of those measures. Here he looks back at what went wrong, arguing that our social policies, although targeted effectively on some problems, ignored others that are equally important and contributed to the weakening of the structures--family, ethnic and neighborhood ties, commitment to work--that form the foundations of a healthy society. What keeps society going, after all, is that most people feel they should work, however well they might do without working, and that they should take care of their families, however attractive it might appear on occasion to desert them. Glazer proposes new kinds of social policies that would strengthen social structures and traditional restraints. Thus, to reinforce the incentive to work, he would attach to low-income jobs the same kind of fringe benefits--health insurance, social security, vacations with pay--that now make higher-paying jobs attractive and that paradoxically are already available in some form to those on welfare. More generally, he would reorient social policy to fit more comfortably with deep and abiding tendencies in American political culture: toward volunteerism, privatization, and decentralization. After a long period of quiescence, social policy and welfare reform are once again becoming salient issues on the national political agenda. Nathan Glazer's deep knowledge and considered judgment, distilled in this book, will be a source of advice, ideas, and inspiration for citizens and policymakers alike.
