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

The George Bush Presidential Library Center at Texas A&M University
No full textThis was the first comprehensive doctoral dissertation on the George Bush
Presidential Library Center at Texas A&M University. The Bush Presidential Library
and Museum was the focal point. The purpose was to describe the global significance,
work and educational contributions of the Bush Presidential Library while exploring its
partnership with Texas A&M University. The primary data sources were: archival
records, museum exhibits, interviews and my field work experiences.
Beyond being a descriptive dissertation, this study offered unique hypotheses and
conclusions. It examined the higher educational aspects of the Bush Presidential Library
Center's operating context within Texas A&M University. These included the
educational value of George Bush's career, the Bush Presidential Library's contents, and
its benefits and technology use in educational programming. This study answered two
unique hypotheses: how President Bush's liberation of Kuwait increased the Middle
Eastern funding of presidential libraries and the Corps of Cadets' influence on President
Bush's selection of Texas A&M University.
George Bush's global presidency, distinguished international public service
career and his world-changing, historical presidential achievements gave the Bush
Presidential Library and Museum an extraordinary educational value. The data showed
the educational value of, benefits of and technology's role in educational programming
at the Bush Presidential Library and Museum. The global changes mirrored President
Bush's career and his effort to combat terrorism. China's emergence as a world power
was attributed to President Bush's career. The Bush Presidential Library and Museum is
the core asset of the center. The data showed President Bush's liberation of Kuwait directly influenced the funding of his presidential library and the subsequent ones. The
data showed the Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets' influence on President Bush's
selection of Texas A&M University as the site for his presidential library. Texas A&M
University is the best place for the George Bush Presidential Library Center. A
university environment is the best place to host a presidential library
Exotic states of bouncing and walking droplets
No full textWe present the results of an integrated experimental and theoretical investigation of droplets bouncing on a vibrating fluid bath. A comprehensive series of experiments provides the most detailed characterisation to date of the system's dependence on fluid properties, droplet size, and vibrational forcing. A number of new bouncing and walking states are reported, including complex periodic and aperiodic motions. Particular attention is given to the first characterisation of the different gaits arising within the walking regime. In addition to complex periodic walkers and limping droplets, we highlight a previously unreported mixed state, in which the droplet switches periodically between two distinct walking modes. Our experiments are complemented by a theoretical study based on our previous developments [J. Molacek and J. W. M. Bush, J. Fluid Mech.727, 582-611 (2013);10.1017/jfm.2013.279J. Molacek and J. W. M. Bush, J. Fluid Mech.727, 612-647 (2013)]10.1017/jfm.2013.280, which provide a basis for rationalising all observed bouncing and walking states
The Bush doctrine
No full textBook synopsis: The presidency of George W. Bush has been widely regarded as having occasioned one of the most dramatic shifts in the history of American foreign policy. The US interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq, the declaration of a ‘war on terrorism’ and the enunciation of a ‘Bush Doctrine’ of unrivalled military power, ‘regime change’ for ‘rogue states’, and preventive and pre-emptive war together generated unprecedented divisions in the international community.
In this edited volume, leading international experts analyze the nature and scale of the global transformation wrought by the Bush foreign policy in three clear parts:
part one examines the extent of the Bush administration’s break with prior American foreign policy.
in Part two, region and country-specific experts assess the responses to the Bush Doctrine and the interaction of domestic and international politics that shaped these. They explore how governments, political parties, the media and public opinion react to US foreign policy and assess the implications for domestic, regional and international politics.
part three examines the likely long-term implications of the Bush Doctrine in relation to a set of major thematic issues including: war and peace; the global economy; human rights and the UN.
Providing a balanced and dispassionate assessment of continuity and change in American foreign policy, national/regional responses to it, and the impact of US foreign policy on a set of ‘big picture’ discrete issues, this book is essential reading for scholars and researchers of international relations and contemporary history
