Politics of Empowerment
Author: David Pettinicchio
Publisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 1503609774
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
“A really, really good book . . . both a specific history of [U.S.] disability policy as well as a broad story of the politics of social change.” —Jeremy R. Levine, American Journal of Sociology Despite the progress of decades-old disability rights policy, including the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act, threats continue to undermine the wellbeing of this population. The United States is, thus, a policy innovator and laggard in this regard. In Politics of Empowerment, David Pettinicchio offers a historically grounded analysis of the singular case of U.S. disability policy, countering long-held views of progress that privilege public demand as its primary driver. By the 1970s, a group of legislators and bureaucrats came to act as “political entrepreneurs.” Motivated by personal and professional commitments, they were seen as experts leading a movement within the government. But as they faced obstacles to their legislative intentions, nascent disability advocacy and protest groups took the cause to the American people, forming the basis of the contemporary disability rights movement. Drawing on extensive archival material, Pettinicchio redefines the relationship between grassroots advocacy and institutional politics, revealing a cycle of progress and backlash embedded in the American political system. “A broad and ambitious study of the evolution of American disability policy and disability rights, incorporating changing policy approaches, governmental institutions, and social movement activities.” —Richard K. Scotch, Professor of Sociology, Public Policy, and Political Economy, University of Texas at Dallas “Excellent. . . . A must-read for those interested in social movements and citizen participation.” —Andrea Louise Campbell, Arthur and Ruth Sloan Professor of Political Science, MIT “Compelling.” —David S. Meyer, University of California, Irvine

Between the Lines
Author: R. Shep Melnick
Publisher: Brookings Institution Press
ISBN: 9780815705543
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
Judicial interpretation of federal statutes has often been at the center of political controversy in recent years. In fact, it would be difficult to find a major domestic policy area in which statutory interpretation by the federal courts has not played a significant role in shaping the activities of government. In most important cases, judges base their interpretation not on the letter of the law, but on their reading of its history, purpose, and spirit. What judges discover between the lines of statutes often has major policy consequences. This book examines how statutory interpretation has affected the development of three programs: Aid to Families with Dependent Children, education for the handicapped, and food stamps. It explores how these decisions have changed state and national policies and how other institutions—especially Congress—have reacted to them. Although these three programs differ in several important ways, in each instance court action has expanded program benefits and increased federal control over state and local governments. R. Shep Melnick ties trends in statutory interpretation to broader policy developments, including the expansion of the agenda of national government, the persistence of divided government, and the resurgence and decentralization of Congress. He demonstrates that Congress frequently modifies or overturns court rulings, and he explains why statutory interpretation became so controversial in the 1980s. Between the Lines also explores the understanding of welfare rights that has guided the development of welfare policy over the past fifty years. What basic beliefs about the welfare state underlie court decisions interpreting these statutes? To what extent do members of Congress share these views? How have the assumptions of judges and members of Congress changed over time? These are some of the questions addressed in this detailed study of American welfare policy.

Children With Special Needs
Author: Katharine T. Bartlett
Publisher: Transaction Publishers
ISBN: 9781412819572
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 528
Book Description
The presence of children with special needs in public schools has created diverse and shifting tensions. During the 1970s, parents and advocates sought to remove existing barriers and secure greater educational opportunity for handicapped children in public education, insisting that all children can learn and that all children suffer adverse effects from the exclusion of the handicapped from public schools. The legislation that was the product of their efforts, The Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 (EAHCA), has become central to the continuing debate over the role of public schools in educating children with special needs. The authors of the essays included in this volume contribute to this debate in two ways. First, they evaluate the success of EAHCA and other legal mechanisms designed to ensure that the requirements of children with special needs are adequately met from a variety of historical, empirical, analytical and comparative perspectives. Second, they suggest steps that might be taken to help such legal strategems attain their goals. These suggestions respond to tensions that have shaped, and will continue to shape, the reaction of educators, parents, and the legal system to children with special needs during the years to come.
