Framing morality policy issues: State legislative debates on abortion restrictions
Are Debates about “Morality Policy” Really about Morality? Framing Opposition to Gay and Lesbian Rights
A growing number of studies identify “morality policy” as a distinct category of public policy and have tested several related hypotheses. This article reexamines morality policy as a conceptual category and an empirical phenomenon. As others have pointed out, we should distinguish morality policy from other policies by how political actors frame issues rather than by its substantive content. In the first part of the article, I argue that we shou…
The Study of LGBT Politics and Its Contributions to Political Science
Although the study of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) politics appears to be widely accepted within political science, a recent survey of political scientists reported some skepticism about its legitimacy and scholarly worth (Novkov and Barclay 2010). This article examines potential concerns about LGBT studies and draws attention to the field's scholarly importance. The first part briefly addresses three objections to the study of LGBT…
Rhetoric and Reality: Going beyond Discourse Ethics in Assessing Legislative Deliberation
Political science has recently devoted some attention to the study of legislative deliberation. But it has reached no consensus about the basic concepts and approaches for investigating such deliberation. We identify four distinct normative perspectives in the legislative deliberation literature, and give particular attention to two of them—one that focuses on a debate's compliance with expectations of discourse ethics, and one that focuses on th…

How Policies Make Citizens: Senior Political Activism and the American Welfare State
Immutability, Science and Legislative Debate over Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Rights
Many gay rights advocates argued in the 1990s that scientific research claiming that sexual orientation is immutable should contribute to gaining civil rights for gays, lesbians and bisexuals. This paper analyzes ten legislative debates that took place at the local, state and federal levels over whether to adopt antidiscrimination laws, before and after the research was published. We hypothesize that if the research has had the impacts hoped for …

The Garbage Can Model & the Study of Policy Making: A Critique
John Kingdon adapted the "garbage can model" of organizational choice to explain the agenda-setting process in the making of public policy. While this use of the model has many virtues, this article argues that it is ultimately too indeterminate to provide fully satisfactory explanations for why some problems receive serious consideration by government while others do not. Using tax reform and deregulation as illustrative cases, the author points…

The American States and the Shifting Locus of Positive Economic Intervention
While there has been a turn away from positive government intervention in the economy at the national level, we have witnessed an embrace of this strategy in may of the American states. What impact, if any, have these efforts by state governments had on their economies? The paper focuses on variations in party control, competition, and ideology, the institutional capacities of governors and legislatures, and policy measures, while controlling for…
Political Learning and Economic Policy Innovation: The United States and Sweden in the Post–World War II Era
The Great Depression, World War II, and Keynesian Revolution all contributed to a transformation in the role of the state in the economy. By the postwar period, it had become politically imperative, as well as intellectually sanctioned, for the state to assume responsibility for addressing unemployment. Certain Western governments were willing and able to go to great lengths to ameliorate joblessness, and in some cases prevent it, while others se…
