The Good-Enough Life
How an acceptance of our limitations can lead to a more fulfilling life and a more harmonious society We live in a world oriented toward greatness, one in which we feel compelled to be among the wealthiest, most powerful, and most famous. This book explains why no one truly benefits from this competitive social order, and reveals how another way of life is possible—a good-enough life for all. Avram Alpert shows how our obsession with greatness results in stress and anxiety, damage to our relationships, widespread political and economic inequality, and destruction of the natural world. He describes how to move beyond greatness to create a society in which everyone flourishes. By competing l...
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...
Democratic Resilience
This book examines how polarization threatens democracy and the sources of political and institutional resilience that can help sustain it.
Fragmented Democracy
Because of federalism, Medicaid takes very different forms in different places. This has dramatic and crucial consequences for democratic citizenship.
Fragmented Democracy
Medicaid is the single largest public health insurer in the United States, covering upwards of 70 million Americans. Crucially, Medicaid is also an intergovernmental program that yokes poverty to federalism: the federal government determines its broad contours, while states have tremendous discretion over how Medicaid is designed and implemented. Where some locales are generous and open handed, others are tight-fisted and punitive. In Fragmented Democracy, Jamila Michener demonstrates the consequences of such disparities for democratic citizenship. Unpacking how federalism transforms Medicaid beneficiaries' interpretations of government and structures their participation in politics, the book examines American democracy from the vantage point(s) of those who are living in or near poverty, (disproportionately) Black or Latino, and reliant on a federated government for vital resources.
De la santé en Amérique
La politique de santé aux États-Unis a été l’objet d’intenses débats ces dernières années. Deux questions ont particulièrement retenu l’attention: « comment réduire les coûts ? » et « faut-il assurer toute la population ? ». Ce numéro de Politique américaine propose une autre lecture. Quatre contributions y éclairent la politique de santé sous un jour souvent délaissé par la littérature francophone: celui de la dynamique des groupes d’intérêt et du rôle des catégories socio-professionnelles. Qu’il s’agisse des lobbies religieux investissant l’arène de la Cour suprême, d’une profession médicale tiraillée entre préjugés raciaux et discours scienti...

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...
