Housing America in the 1980s
Author: John S. Adams
Publisher: Russell Sage Foundation
ISBN: 1610440005
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
Housing provides shelter, in a variety of forms, but it is also resonant with meaning on many other levels--as a financial asset, a status symbol, an expression of private aspirations and identities, a means of inclusion or exclusion, and finally as a battleground for social change. John Adams' impressive new study explores this complex topic in all its dimensions. Using census data and other housing surveys, Adams describes the recent history of housing in America; the nature of housing supply and demand; patterns of housing use; and selected housing policy questions. Adams supplements this national and regional analysis with a remarkable set of small-area analyses, revealing how neighborhood settings affect housing use and how market forces and other trends interact to shape a neighborhood. These analyses focus on a sample of over fifty urbanized areas, including the nation's three largest cities (New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago). Special two-color maps illustrate the dynamics of housing use in each of these communities. Clearly and insightfully, this volume paints a unique picture of the American "housing landscape," a landscape that reflects and regulates significant aspects of our national life. A Volume in the Russell Sage Foundation Census Series

Policy Implementation of Social Welfare in the 1980s
Author: Frederick A. Lazin
Publisher: Transaction Publishers
ISBN: 9781412830980
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
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.
