Dr. Carol Anderson Lecture and Q and A Session, October 18, 2018
No full textEducator, civil rights activist, and author, Dr. Carol Anderson, talks about her book, "White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide". Dr. Anderson discusses her motivation to write this book in response to the characterization of Black rage for the African American led protests and uprisings against numerous nationwide police shootings of black men. She noted "with so much attention on the flames, everyone had ignored the kindling". In her book and lecture, Dr. Anderson provides a historical overview and analysis of legislation and court cases that reveal how white rage is manifested through systemic public policy to undercut African American advancements in social progress in America. Dr. Anderson is the Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor and Chair of the African-American Studies department at Emory University. She is also author of two other award-winning books - Eyes Off the Prize: The United Nations and the African-American Struggle for Human Rights, 1944-1955 and Bourgeois Radicals: The NAACP and the Struggle for Colonial Liberation, 1941-1960.

The impact of independent and third party politics on attaining the US presidency: an analysis of the George Wallace, John Anderson and Ross Perot campaigns and implications for voter dealignment, 1996
No full textThis dissertation analyzes the impact of independent and third party politics on the American presidency, emphasizing the 1968 George C. Wallace, the 1980 John B. Anderson, and the 1992 Ross Perot presidential candidacies and implications for voter dealignment. This study examines the history of third parties, the many obstacles that independent and third party candidates encounter in their pursuit of the presidency, the presidential candidacies of Wallace, Anderson, Perot, contemporary voter dealignment, and the call for and the creation of a new political party. Both primary and secondary sources were used in this research. The study's variables were quantitatively tested with existing data from the American National Election Studies ( ANES ) and from primary data obtained from surveys both of registered voters in six counties throughout the state of Georgia, and United We Stand America ( UWSA ) of Georgia members. The findings in the study reveal that not only did the presidential endeavors of Wallace, Anderson, and Perot have a major impact on the presidency, but that their candidacies came about because of extreme voter discontent with the two-party system; i.e. voter dealignment. The study also suggests that this voter dealignment trend is still prevalent today with the rise of independent identification, split-ticket voting, interest groups, and support for third party candidates. This research further shows that, despite voter discontent with the two-party system, the American electorate is nonetheless undecided about the creation and long-term support of a "new" political party to compete with the Republicans and Democrats

Voucher funds in transitional economies : the Czech and Slovak experience
No full textVoucher funds have arisen in the transitional economies of Eastern and Central Europe that have used voucher privatization. These funds collect vouchers from citizens and use them to buy shares in enterprises. In the Czech and Slovak Republics, voucher funds are typically organized as corporations owned by the citizens who contributed their vouchers. Recently, they have also been organized as unit trusts (either open-ended or closed). A management company manages the funds under a contract that specifies the management fee. The management company is typically owned by the initial sponsor of the fund - for example, a bank. Voucher funds can give owners a diversified and professionally managed portfolio. More important, the funds select who sits on an enterprise's governance boards (which oversee management and profitability). Although experience is limited, the funds in these two countries have probably stopped most fraud and self-serving by enterprise mangers and are beginning to encourage the restructuring needed for profitability. A few funds have replaced poorly performing or dishonest managers; more often, because qualified replacements are few, they encourage managers to improve performance. There have been complaints about funds'performance. Some have made unrealistic promises to voucher holders and have appointed poorly qualified members to management boards. There is concern about conflicts of interest in the bank-sponsored funds and excessive control of enterprises. Funds typically lack capital or expertise to undertake restructuring - but few other potential owners are likely to be better qualified. The author examines 27 regulations that have been proposed for funds. Regulations in transitional economies, unlike regulations in most western countries, should encourage funds to play a strong role in corporate governance, he contends, as few potential owners have this ability. Most important, regulations should require that funds disclose information about their operations so their owners can monitor and control fund managers. The regulatory regime, the author says, should discourage monopolies and anticompetitive behavior; create incentives for fund managers to improve fund performance; discourage self-serving or fraudulent behavior by fund managers, and conflicts of interest; and eliminate high-risk investments unacceptable to fund owners. Because there is so little experience with these funds, the regulatory regime should not be unduly restrictive. As problems arise, regulations to deal with them can be added.International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Economic Adjustment and Lending,Economic Theory&Research,Agricultural Knowledge&Information Systems,Payment Systems&Infrastructure
