Breaking Down the Wall between Church and State
During the past twenty years, there has been a proliferation of significant, yet often overlooked, state-level legislative developments that challenge the notion of a limited role for government in the promotion or facilitation of religion and that seek to allow and protect greater religious expression in public institutions. For example, several states have passed laws that allow for religious displays or mottoes in public spaces, while other st…
Special Interest Capture of Regulatory Agencies
This article tests capture theory by analyzing voting behavior on U.S. Regional Fishery Management Councils. Some seats on the councils are reserved for state and federal agency representatives; others, for political appointees. The political appointees primarily represent special interests (specifically, commercial and recreational fishing interests); a smaller number of appointees represent public interests. We use logistic regression to model …
Cross-Cutting Influences of Environmental Protest and Legislation
This research examines the influence of types of protest activities, Congressional hearings and political characteristics on environmental legislation enacted from 1961–1990. We find that rates of environmental protest rise with increases in the amount of previous institutional activities, but extra-institutional activities do not raise the overall rate of protest. Protest has no direct effect on the passage of legislation, but institutional prot…
Protest and Policymaking
Although past research has failed to establish a link between protest and policy change, we reexamine the relationship at the agenda-setting stage of policymaking. We assert that protestors compete for attention among lawmakers at the agendasetting stage. An issue receives more attention when the frequency of protest activity around a particular issue is sufficiently high for that issue to stand out within the field of competing issues. We examin…
Process and Protest
Using American Citizen Participation Survey data (Verba et al 1995a), we perform logistic regression analyses to adjudicate between three core explanations for individual protest: biographical availability, political engagement and structural availability. We calculate estimated probabilities to weigh the relative effects of these factors on the likelihood of protest participation, and we find that being asked to protest is the strongest predicto…
