Fragmented Democracy
Because of federalism, Medicaid takes very different forms in different places. This has dramatic and crucial consequences for democratic citizenship.
Methods of the Policy Process
The increasingly global study of policy processes faces challenges with scholars applying theories in radically different national and cultural contexts. Questions frequently arise about how to conduct policy process research comparatively and among this global community of scholars. Methods of the Policy Process is the first book to remedy this situation, not by establishing an orthodoxy or imposing upon the policy process community a rigid way of conducting research but, instead, by allowing the leading researchers in the different theoretical traditions a space to share the means by which they put their research into action. This edited volume serves as a companion volume and supplemental...
Stable Condition
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), the sweeping health care reform enacted by the Obama Administration in 2010, continues to be a contentious policy at the center of highly polarized political debates. Both before and after the law’s passage, political elites on both sides of the issue attempted to sway public opinion through two traditional approaches: messaging and policymaking itself. They operated under the assumption that the public’s personal experiences toward the law would make them more favorable. Yet these tried-and-true methods have had limited influence on public attitudes toward the ACA. Public opinion towards the ACA remained stable from 2010 to 2016, with more Americans opposi...

Ungoverned and Out of Sight
Ungoverned and Out of Sight explores conflicting policy solutions in the highly decentralized U.S. homeless policy space. Alongside detailed case studies, it provides recommendations for policy makers to improve existing systems and deliver policies that will successfully diminish chronic homelessness.
Racism, Health, and Politics
Contributors to this special issue study race, racism, and health inequities, as well as the politics and policy of racism and health. They argue that racism is a fundamentally political phenomenon with profound implications for health, yet substantive engagement with the health implications of racism is often divorced from larger questions about politics and policy. At the same time, scholarship centered on politics and policy is often disconnected from the realities of structural racism in the realm of health.
Uncivil Democracy
How the civil legal system undermines the political lives of marginalized communities Each year, as many as 250 million Americans face civil legal problems like eviction, debt collection, and substandard housing. These problems are disproportionately shouldered by racially and economically marginalized people, particularly women of color. Civil courts and legal aid organizations are supposed to protect their rights, yet more than 90 percent of low-income people receive inadequate or no legal assistance. Instead, access to justice is reserved for those who can afford its high price. For those who can’t, the repercussions can be devastating, from homelessness and loss of public benefits to b...
