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 Clinton presidency and the analysis of political scandal
No full textThis study analyses the usefulness of recent offerings from scholars, such as John Thompson, that have aimed to bring a greater understanding of the subject of political scandal, by applying them to case studies of authentic political scandals during the Clinton Presidency. Academics have attempted to discover a more authoritative definition of a political scandal and have suggested tentative theories to explain the phases of high and low scandal activity that have been experienced throughout history, this is no more evident than in the United States. By applying these offerings to the highly detailed examinations of the Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky scandals, this study argues that the academic theories, thus far, are found to have limitations when faced with complex, modem political scandals in the United States. While this study does not offer a theory on political scandal of its own, it suggests that, although important contributions have been made, that more academic work is required to gain a greater understanding to potentially develop a new theory on political scandal
Exploring New Zealand
No full textThe 2016-2017 season of WKU Libraries’ “Far Away Places” talk series kicked off with Clinton Lewis, WKU’s University Photographer, who spoke about “Exploring New Zealand” at Barnes & Noble Booksellers in Bowling Green, KY on the evening of September 15, 2016.
In January of 2016, ten students set off for the Southern Hemisphere to study the recreation and tourism industry of New Zealand. The 17-day trip, led by faculty member Dr. Raymond Poff from the School of Kinesiology Recreation and Sport and assisted by WKU Staff Photographer Clinton Lewis, explored both islands of the small country that is home to 4 million people and 35 million sheep. Their travels included visiting Auckland, Raglan, Matamata, Waitomo, Bay of Islands, Wellington, Rotorua, Milford Sound and Queenstown. To fully gain an understanding of what makes the New Zealanders’ wanderlust so strong, the group took surfing lessons, a black water rafting trip, cruised the world-famous Milford Sound, swam with dolphins, explored the film sets from The Lord of the Rings and engaged with the native Maori culture. In depth interviews and meetings were also conducted with local, regional and national tourism offices and the business owners that make New Zealand one of the most sought after travel destinations in the world
Kanter Revisited: Gender, Power and (In)visibility
No full textThis paper revisits Kanter's (1977) seminal work Men and Women of the Corporation, rereading her account of numerical advantage and disadvantage through a poststructuralist lens which exposes hidden dimensions of gendered power. This lens is captured in the ‘(In)visibility Vortex’ (Lewis and Simpson, 2010) which highlights struggles and tensions around the norm through processes of preservation and concealment within the norm as well as dynamics of revealing, exposure and disappearance as features of the margins. The study draws on developments in feminist theorizing, specially around visibility, invisibility and power, to facilitate this rereading. In so doing, the author demonstrate that while Kanter retreated from explanations based on the gendering of organizations or from recognition of gendered power, these dynamics can be identified in her text. The authors suggest that rereading classic texts can surface dimensions of organizations that have contemporary significance and can inform future research

The Story About Clinton\u27s Impeachment
No full textPart of a special section on the Constitution under President Bill Clinton. The prosecution in the Clinton impeachment played their hand based on Clinton\u27s actions representing a threat to the rule of law, when it should have been over breach of trust. It is possible that they avoided the breach-of-trust issue, sensing that although it may have been easy to show Clinton\u27s untrustworthiness, it would have also highlighted their own. The irresponsible actions of the Republicans, who were in the majority on the House Judiciary Committee, gave no basis for trust; therefore, it is no surprise that they were unable to demonstrate that Clinton did not deserve trust. The Republicans\u27 mishandling of the issue is based on two factors: They focused on sex rather than on perjury and obstruction of justice; and when they tried to reverse that position, they applied the threat to the rule-of-law approach. In doing so, they sounded dogmatic, rigid, and abstract
