The Politics of Social Policy Reform in the United States: The Clinton and the W. Bush Presidencies Reconsidered
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to examine what key reform attempts during the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush presidencies reveal about the wider possibilities for social policy change in the United States. Most particularly, why were Presidents Clinton and Bush able to achieve their goals in some policy realms but so badly defeated in others? As argued, institutional variation from one policy area to another helps answer this question. On the one hand, strong institutional obstacles in the fields of Social Security and health insurance largely explain the defeat of the most ambitious social policy proposal put forward by each president. On the other hand, successful reforms occurred in a comparatively favourable institutional context. Yet, the analysis also suggests that paying close attention to the strategic ideas of political actors as they interact with existing institutions and policy legacies is necessary to fully understand the politics of social policy reform.social policy, Medicare, Social Security, welfare, institutions, United States

Wild Nature Play: Researching OOSH in the Bush
No full textOOSH in the Bush is a wild free play project that is seeking to address a pressing issue for Australian children in contemporary society: What will be the impact on children if there is a continued decrease in their opportunity to engage in free or ‘wild’ nature play? The research conducted and reported on in this report sought to evaluate the potential of OOSH in the Bush in making a contribution to addressing this issue. The research was conducted by a research team from the Centre for Educational Research (CER) at the University of Western Sydney (UWS). The key role of the UWS researchers was to document the first intake of the OOSH in the Bush program in order to understand its impact and effectiveness. The OOSH in the Bush program has been designed and implemented by Centennial Parkland educators in order to support children and staff from Out of School Hours (OOSH) care centres to participate in wild nature play activities. This pilot program was implemented at two sites: Centennial Parklands in the inner city of Sydney and Mt Annan Botanical Gardens in the outer suburban region of NSW. The pilot involved 10 OOSH services over a six month period in late 2014 and early 2015 and provided 10 hours of nature play activity to approximately 260 children (20 from each service). Additionally, OOSH in the Bush provided training in nature play to OOSH staff by using webinars, workshops, guided learning, on site participation and supplying access to a variety of rich resources
