Assessing the George W. Bush Presidency: A Tale of Two Terms
No full textIn one of the first volumes assessing the full two terms of the George W. Bush presidency, Wroe and Herbert have gathered the work of leading American and European scholars. In fifteen succinct and incisive chapters, authorities such as Jim Pfiffner, John Maltese, Graham Wilson and Alan Gitelson offer assessments of the Bush administration's successes and failures. Extensive attention is paid to Bush's foreign policy, including 'The War on Terror' but the focus is broadened to absorb not only the Bush Doctrine and its repercussions, but also his trade and homeland security policies. The president's domestic leadership in economics and social policy is investigated, as are his dealings as president with the other institutions of the U.S. political system. The result is a comprehensive guide to the Bush presidency and its legacy
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
Bush vs.Clinton: una pelea disnástica
No full textLas próximas elecciones presidenciales en Estados Unidos, que se celebran en 2016, están despertando un interés inusitado: la presentación de la candidatura de Hillary Clinton y la de Jeb Bush posiblemente convertirá la campaña en una dura pero atractiva lucha entre estirpes. En principio, Clinton parece tenerlo más fácil para lograr la nominación demócrata, mientras que Bush tendrá que lidiar con más candidaturas en las primarias de su partido. Pero alcanzar el Despacho Oval se presenta difícil para ambos y dependerá de la capacidad de uno y otro por atraerse el voto de diversos sectores de la ciudadanía

La doctrina de la administración Bush (2001-2006)
No full textThis article deals with the debate risen after the attacks which took place on September 11th, 2001, in the United States and the questions emerged from them regarding the faults in the security and intelligence systems of that country.

Bush wives o esposas del monte: relaciones forzadas y dinámicas de poder generizadas en conflictos armados no convencionales
No full textWhat are the conceptual particularities that distinguish the bush wives category from other forced marital union experiences, which include girls, adolescents, and young adults? We start from the understanding that this type of union implies forcing one of these identities to marry (in formal and informal terms, depending on the laws of each country) and to exercise all the functions and roles that are culturally supposed to be incorporated with it: from sexual relations, domestic care and care, among others. In the case of bush wives, the tasks associated with combat and defense are also added to the above. The search for possible answers to this initial question is structured around the search for possible answers to this initial question.
To carry out this approach, it was necessary, in the first place, to contextualize and characterize the unconventional armed conflicts where the phenomenon of bush wives or esposas del monte (by its translation into Spanish) occurs. Secondly, it was necessary to point out the circumstances that lead girls, adolescents and young adults to be part of these situated scenarios; to then be able to understand and specify what the similarities and differences are with other similar figures such as child wives and comfort women.
In addition, it was important for us to inquire about what the consequences are for most bush wives in the event of a post-conflict process of reintegration into civil society. Finally, some statistical data on the scourge of “child marriages” in the Latin American and Caribbean region are presented, and some final reflections are outlined.¿Cuáles son las particularidades conceptuales que distinguen a la categoría de bush wives de otras experiencias de unión conyugal forzada, que incluyen a niñas, adolescentes y jóvenes adultas? Partimos de comprender que este tipo de uniones implican obligar a alguna de estas identidades al casamiento (en términos formales e informales, dependiendo de las leyes de cada país) y a ejercer todas las funciones y los roles que culturalmente se suponen incorporados a él: desde relaciones sexuales, atención y cuidados domésticos, entre otros. En el caso de las bush wives, asimismo, a lo anterior se le suman las tareas asociadas al combate y la defensa. En torno a la búsqueda de posibles respuestas a esa pregunta inicial, se estructura el presente trabajo de carácter exploratorio.
Para realizar dicho abordaje fue menester, en primer lugar, contextualizar y caracterizar los conflictos armados no convencionales donde se da el fenómeno de las bush wives o esposas del monte. En segundo lugar, fue preciso señalar las circunstancias que llevan a niñas, adolescentes y jóvenes adultas a ser parte de esos escenarios situados, para comprender y precisar cuáles son las similitudes y diferencias con otras figuras similares, como las niñas esposas y las mujeres de consuelo.
Además, se indagó sobre las consecuencias para la mayoría de las bush wives en caso de sucederse un proceso de reintegración a la sociedad civil posconflicto. Por último, se exponen algunos datos estadísticos sobre el flagelo de los “matrimonios infantiles” en la región de América Latina y el Caribe, y se esbozan algunas reflexiones finales
