  • Authentic Indigenization and Liberation in the Theology of Canaan Sodindo Banana (1936–2003) of Zimbabwe

    Norman Thomas, Norman E ThomasARTICLEMission Studies2005

    African theologies are most often classified as either theologies of inculturation, or of liberation. Canaan Banana was one of few African theologians who combine authentic indigenization and liberation in their thought. The author, who knew Rev. Banana personally, based his analysis on Banana's writings and on interpretations by other scholars. Banana's theology was influenced by his ecumenical leadership as a Methodist minister, studies in the …

  • The Precedence of Power: Determining Who Should Authorize Military Force

    Richard J Harknett, Norman C Thomas et al.ARTICLECongress & the Presidency1998References: 6

    The War Powers Resolution (WPR) has been incapable of resolving the constitutional question over whether the president or Congress should authorize the use of military force. The primary reason why this impasse has remained unresolved is that the debate has been framed in the context of exclusive constitutional prerogative. Wl'R offers no solution, nor the basis for a potential breakthrough. The fact that both branches have strong positions regar…

    Open AccessNorman C Thomas, Norman ThomasARTICLEJournal of Policy History1992References: 3

    By most assessments, Jimmy Carter's presidency was a failure. The popular image of Carter is that of a president who was politically naive, an inept manager, a well-meaning but nettlesome scold, and an unsuccessful leader. According to two recent scholarly evaluations, Carter was an ineffective leader who ranks in the bottom quintile of the thirty-nine presidents who have preceded George Bush

  • The Presidency Since Mid-Century

    Joseph A Pika, Norman C Thomas et al.ARTICLECongress & the Presidency1992References: 17

    Many scholars and observers claim that the presidential office and the political environment in which presidents operate have been transformed in the second half of the twentieth century. The starting point for examining these claims is Richard Neustadt's classic assessment of the presidency at mid-century. Of particular interest are discussions of the presidency's intensified relationship with the public, the so-called "postmodern" presidency, a…

  • Cycling through American Politics

    David Resnick, Norman C Thomas et al.ARTICLEPolity1990Cited by: 3

    The great problem in American politics," E. E. Schattschneider writes, "is: What makes things happen? ... What is the process of change? What does change look like?" Schattschneider offered a theory of political conflict in answer to his question, but the more common response is some variant on the idea of cycles-of regular rhythms or recurring patterns-whose dynamic is the key to unlocking the mysteries of change in American politics. This artic…

  • The President as Institution Builder: The Reagan Case

    Open AccessJoseph A Pika, Norman C Thomas et al.ARTICLEGovernance1990Cited by: 3References: 8

    Every president bestows upon his successors a “legacy” that will have an impact on both policy issues and institutional operations. Although attention is commonly focused on the president's role as a policymaker, he serves as an institution builder, as well, leaving a legacy that is manifested in long‐term developments, in technical details of managing the job, and in patterns of interaction with other actors in the political environment. Reagan'…

  • Reagan and Jackson: Parallels in Political Time

    Open AccessDavid Resnick, Norman C Thomas et al.ARTICLEJournal of Policy History1989References: 5

James MacGregor Burns, Richard Neustadt, Clinton Rossiter, and others who took their cues from them found in FDR the ideal heroic president. He combined extensive and sustained popularity, partisan support, skillful power-sensitive bargaining and persuasion, adept use of the …

The conversion process, the making of national policy, is the basic activity of the policy system. The educational policy system cons…
