  • Fifty Paths to Bureaucracy

    Open AccessJohn E BrooksARTICLEPublius The Journal of Federalism2025References: 25

    Today, a majority of state-government employees in the United States enjoy both pensions and civil-service protections. What relationship do these policies have to one another, and what accounts for their development across states? Although distinct, both are significant commitments governments make to recruit and retain workers. Their timing varied greatly within and across states due to a lack of national regulation. Slightly over half of state…

  • Joyride

    Open AccessJohn Brooks, John E Brooks et al.ARTICLEliquid blackness2025References: 11

    How might we think with joy? What might focusing on joy in an anti-black world teach us about collective action and relational feeling? What if relational, antiracist critiques were framed by mutual investments in joy's flourishing?

    Although elected officials have the final say over pensions, boards of trustees also influence plan governance. Not a great deal is known about boards or how they shape policies. Boards are composed of politically and nonpolitically appointed members, as well as active and retired employees. Plan active-employee size turns out to be the best predictor of membership, suggesting that employee voice expands as plans cover more workers. Using both fi…

  • Mediating the Electoral Connection

    John Henderson, John Brooks et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Politics2016Cited by: 11References: 28

    We develop and assess an information account of representation. Accordingly, politicians face uncertainty about voter opinion and use previous vote margins to gauge future electoral outcomes. Losses in vote support elicit ideological moderation given new information about electorates. To test this account, we use rain around Election Day as a natural experiment in voting in the US House races from 1956 to 2008. We find that each additional inch o…
