US Politics and Climate Change: Science Confronts Policy
Why is climate change the subject of such vehement political rhetoric in the United States? What explains the policy deadlock that has existed for nearly two decades—and that has resulted in the failure of US leadership in the international arena? Addressing these questions, Glen Sussman and Byron Daynes trace the evolution of US climate change policy, assess how key players—the scientific community, Congress, the president, the judiciary, intere…
The “Greenless” Response to Global Warming
Rather than working with other leaders to modify the Kyoto Protocol, President Bush has devised his own haphazard alternative, the “Clear Skies Initiative.” ... [which] calls for voluntary compliance in reducing emissions
The USA and Global Environmental Policy: Domestic Constraints on Effective Leadership
During the past three decades, global environmental policy has increased in salience in international politics. What role has the USA, a principal actor in global affairs, played in multilateral efforts to promote environmental protection? What factors might account for US actions regarding progress or problems related to global environmental policy? In order to answer these questions, I examine the role of three principal actors in the US politi…
Support for television coverage of the legislative process among state legislators: A comparison of Iowa, Utah, and Florida
The amount of media coverage of state legislatures varies across the 50 states, as do levels of public interest and citizen information about state legislative affairs. In order to assess the attitudes of those elected officials who would be most directly affected by opening up the political process to greater media coverage, survey data were collected from state legislators in Iowa, Utah, and Florida. Representatives and senators from these thre…

This paper analyzes the impact of political ideology on the voting behavior of members of Congress. Several recent studies of congressional voting have argued that ideology provides the basis for understanding legislative attitudes on domestic and foreign issues. In order to determine whether and to what extent ideology is the best predictor of roll call behavior, we examine legislators' voting on the fast track–a congressional procedural mechani…

Support for Protest Methods and Political Strategies Among Peace Movement Activists: Comparing the United States, Great Britain and the Federal Republic of Germany
Recent studies of public involvement in postindustrial democracies have suggested that a new style of politics has emerged over the last two decades (Dalton 1988). This new style of politics is characterized in major part by an expansion of the parameters of appropriate political action beyond reliance upon conventional political channels. Some commentators argue that support for new modes of participation arise out of sociopolitical changes occu…
