Compounding Disasters and Ethical Leadership: Case Studies from Louisiana and Texas
Disasters are complex and dynamic events that test even the most ethical leaders at all levels of government. During 2020, communities throughout the United States experienced compounding disasters that challenged not only leaders, but response and recovery plans and policies. This study examines ethical leadership during compounding disasters in two cities—Lafayette, LA and Dallas, TX. The Lafayette case study involves the COVID-19 pandemic, hom…
Health-Related Assistance Programs, Leadership Support, and Organizational Performance: Evidence From the U.S. Federal Agencies
This study examines the impact of health-related assistance programs as a type of work–life balance policies on the organizational performance of U.S. federal agencies. Drawing on the Social Exchange Theory and using the Federal Employees Viewpoints Survey (FEVS) from 2011–2015, this study had anticipated that the two types of health-related assistance programs, namely, the Employees Assistance Program and wellness program, have a significant pos…
Voters, Neighbors, and City Performance in Environmental Sustainability Transitions
While most city governments in the United States acknowledge the importance of clean and healthy natural environment, their commitment to environmental sustainability varies widely. Scholarship on why some cities pursue the environmental agenda more than others is still evolving. This research adds to the model of municipal sustainability adoption by showing negative effects of residents’ political conservatism and positive effects of environment…
Public Pensions and Collective Bargaining Rights: Evidence from State and Local Governments
An aging workforce and increasing retirement benefits are ongoing problems for states and municipalities. Unions are often blamed for governments offering too generous pension benefits. This contributes to budgetary pressures in some state and municipal governments. This article analyzes the impact of collective bargaining on pension benefit generosity under different economic conditions. The study finds that the impact of collective bargaining o…
Public Sector Employment at Will: A Critical Analysis of Ethical Concerns and Recommendations for Public Administrators
Recent reforms have sought to increase accountability and flexibility in the public sector’s personnel systems. One radical reform has witnessed a dismantling of civil service systems and replacing of them with employment at will (EAW) systems. Reforms of this kind have been more pronounced at the state and local government levels. Amid the reforms, scholars and public employees are skeptical of moving public employees to EAW systems, fearing the…

Affective Organizational Commitment and Job Satisfaction: A Cross‐national Comparative Study
Public managers across countries are faced with challenges of attracting and retaining high‐quality employees in the context of widespread financial constraints and increasing inter‐sectoral competition. These changing circumstances have reinforced the need to enhance public employees' affective organizational commitment, which is related to important outcomes such as employees' performance and retention. However, we know little about the factors…
Does Turnover Intention Matter? Evaluating the Usefulness of Turnover Intention Rate as a Predictor of Actual Turnover Rate
Turnover research has traditionally examined intention to turnover rather than actual turnover. Such studies assume that leave intent serves equally well as both a proxy for and predictor of employees’ actual turnover behavior. The purpose of this study is to provide an agency-level evaluation of the usefulness of turnover intention as a reliable proxy and predictor of actual turnover across 180 U.S. federal agencies, using hierarchical (stepwise…
Determinants of Local Government Workforce Planning
This article evaluates the utilization of workforce planning by municipalities across the United States with data derived from a survey of local government human resource professionals. The research demonstrates that certain aspects of workforce planning such as assessments of employee retirement, long-term recruitment and retention, and training and development have been integrated into the human resource functions of several municipalities. The…

Alternative Food Networks: Knowledge, Practice, and Politics
Farmers’ markets, veggie boxes, local foods, organic products and Fair Trade goods – how have these once novel, "alternative" foods, and the people and networks supporting them, become increasingly familiar features of everyday consumption? Are the visions of "alternative worlds" built on ethics of sustainability, social justice, animal welfare and the aesthetic values of local food cultures and traditional crafts still credible now that these fo…
Local Government Human Resource Management Past, Present, and Future: Revisiting Hays and Kearney's Anticipated Changes a Decade Later
Over a decade ago, Hays and Kearney published results from a survey of human resource managers who were members of the International Personnel Management Association and the Section on Personnel and Labor Relations of the American Society for Public Administration. This survey solicited members' opinions regarding the present and anticipated status of public personnel systems at that time. Our survey solicits the opinions of human resource manage…

State Government Human Resource Professionals’ Commitment to Employment at Will
This article examines the attitudes of a key set of state government officials—state human resource (HR) professionals—toward employment at will (EAW) in state government. It presents original survey data obtained from HR professionals in four southern states: Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi. Drawing on these data, the article creates an index measuring respondents’ commitment to EAW, as measured by their attitudes toward arguments used …
Executive budget analysts and legislative budget analysts: State budgetary gatekeepers
Many studies of the budgetary process focus on the national government while ignoring the state budgetary process and state budgetary actors. Executive budget analysts and legislative budget analysts are important gatekeepers in the budgetary process. These actors were surveyed to ascertain what influences their decisions and to determine what responsibilities are included in their job duties. The results show that many similarities exist between…
Books
This book makes me wonder why Australian \nhistorians have so readily agreed to \na history that starts at 1788. Perhaps the \nFirst Fleet's entertaining publishing enterprises \nhave been too seductive. Whereas \nhistorians may doubt that it is possible \nto write history without archival word \nmiddens, archaeologists doubt that one \ncan write without material discoveries. \nSources and methodological expertise \nhave created a major chasm bet…
Determinants of Perceived Gubernatorial Budgetary Influence among State Executive Budget Analysts and Legislative Fiscal Analysts
Recent scholarship points to governors losing budgetary influence to legislatures. A survey of executive and legislative budget analysts from thirteen western states is used to test hypotheses derived from Abney and Lauth's theoretical propositions regarding the end of executive dominance over the budgetary process. This article finds that the legislature's ability to independently access budgetary information, a separate legislative budget agend…
Symbolic Opposition: A Retrospective Analysis of House Votes to Reject BRAC Recommendations in 1989, 1991, and 1995
In 1988 Congress authorized a bipartisan commission to close and realign military bases. The commission process provided members of Congress with bases closing in their districts an opportunity to oppose the closures symbolically. This article analyzes this symbolic opposition, namely, the three House votes to reject the BRACs' recommendations for closure and realignment. Logistic regression models are used to determine that ideology and parochia…
Should we go "home" to eat: Toward a Reflexive Politics of Localism
Local Governments, Tribal Governments, and Service Delivery: A Unique Approach to Negotiated Problem Solving
There is a long history of conflict between states and Indian tribes. In recent years, considerable progress has been made in reducing this conflict in some areas, but service delivery remains an issue of growing tension. Since the 1990s the federal government has reduced funding for some Indian programs; funding has increased in a few programs but has not kept up with increases in demand. As a result, tribes are forced to rely ever more on state…
Rural Europe Redux? Reflections on Alternative Agro‐Food Networks and Paradigm Change
This paper examines some recent analyses of alternative agro‐food networks (AAFNs) and claims that these innovative modes of food provisioning are emblematic of a new rural development paradigm in Western Europe. A political‐economic critique of the territorialised, farm‐centric value added strategies underlying these claims suggests that this characterisation is overdrawn and premature. The neglect of the consumption side of the rural developmen…

Reconfiguring the rural or fording the divide: Capitalist restructuring and the global agro-food system
Recent analyses of the restructuring of the agro-food system draw uncritically on the industrial restructuring literature, notably regulation theory and Fordism/post-Fordism debates on capitalist transition. We question the extension of this periodisation and conceptual framework to the political economy of agrarian restructuring. We also interrogate the theoretical foundations of several related literatures concerned with international food regi…
Knowing food and growing food: Beyond the production-consumption debate in the sociology of agriculture
What does the rise of organic food as a social phenomenon mean politically? What political impact does this form of consumption have on society? Is it a small and unimportant "blip" in the overall march of globalized, industrialized food and rationalized consumption systems. Is it even, perhaps, complicit in this process? Or is it a radical break ? The array of answers to these questions forms the "production-consumption debate" currently taking …
Agro-Food Studies in the 'Age of Ecology: Nature, Corporeality, Bio-Politics
The theoretical purview and contemporary political relevance of agro-food studies are restricted by their unexamined methodological foundations in modernist ontology. The nature-society dualism at the core of this ontology places agro-food studies, and their 'parent' disciplines in the orthodox social sciences, outside the broad intellectual project that is advancing the greening of social theory, and militates against effective engagement with t…
Ontology Matters: The Relational Materiality of Nature and Agro-Food Studies
This paper examines the question of ontological choice in agro-food studies, and emphasizes that such choices are consequential, determining analytical points of entry, arenas of theory and praxis, and normative positioning. These questions are explored by examining the privileged place of the labour process in the development of agro-food studies and, as a more specific illustration, in analyses of agro-biotechnology. It is suggested that the mo…
Capitalism, Petty Commodity Production and the Farm Enterprise
Although Marx and Engels wrote relatively little about agriculture the subsequent discussion has been in inverse proportion to the amount they wrote. This paper analyses recent contributions to this body of theory, notably the problems presented by simple commodity production in agriculture, arguing that many of these problems originate in specific historical situations. It is suggested that other distinctions in Marx's work are more rewarding to…

World-scale processes and agro-food systems: Critique and research needs
This article argues that concepts and empirical characterizations of globalization and corporate organization drawn from the international political economy literature must be interrogated critically before being extended to agro-food studies. A brief survey of this literature reveals divergent conceptualizations of globalization and conflicting views of the state. For greater clarity, an ideal-typical taxonomy of world-scale processes and corpor…

New Japanese Theatre
When European theatre was introduced to Japan, Kabuki (including its bastard offspring Shimpa—Kabuki-style modern theatre) was practically the only theatre there was, and it consequently became the referent for all theatrical endeavor. Kabuki actors and Kabuki language, Kabuki gestures and Kabuki notions—there was nothing else. When in the early 1920s Aoyama Sugisaku directed a play using the vernacular, he was met with praise from some quarters,…

Japanese Political Theatre in Context
The political character of Theatre Center 68/71, a Japanese troupe based in Tokyo, is best understood as part of the historical space within which it operates. This space may be delineated in terms of three coordinates: the murderous disunity of the Japanese New Left, the popular evasion of historical accountability facilitated by the “split-level” nature of Japanese historical consciousness, and the need to enunciate revolution as a redemption o…
