Trump and the “deep state”
Donald Trump and his loyalists invoked the concept of the deep state when confronted with resistance to the president’s agenda. The hazy concept of the deep state was tied to the long-standing conservative critique of the administrative state and the growth of the federal bureaucracy. Together, they conveyed reproach that Trump was subverted by a shadowy network of unelected bureaucrats that illegitimately holds the levers of real power in the Un…
Politics as Victimhood, Victimhood as Politics
The victim has become among the most important identity positions in American politics. Victimhood is now a pivotal means by which individuals and groups see themselves and constitute themselves as political actors. Indeed, victimhood seems to have become a status that must be established before political claims can be advanced. Victimhood embodies the assertion that an individual or group has suffered wrongs that must be requited. What seems new…
The Revival of Reinhold Niebuhr
Reinhold Niebuhr, the liberal Protestant theologian, occupied a prominent position in American public life during the middle decades of the twentieth century. A pillar of the post - World War II establishment, Niebuhr lent religious legitimation to American foreign policy during the Cold War. With international terrorism replacing the Soviet menace, his star has recently been revived. This essay explores the reasons for Niebuhr's revival
Neoconservative Politics and the Supreme Court
In this concise and clearly written book, Stephen M. Feldman argues that the conservative ascendance in the United States since the presidency of Ronald Reagan can be understood as an effort to reestablish the legal and political order that existed prior to the New Deal. He labels this pre-New Deal order “republican democracy,” distinct from the “pluralist democracy” that characterizes our politics since 1937. The heart of the book is the analysi…
Communication and Democratic Reform in South Africa
A New Alliance between Religion and Labor? The 2002 Graphic Communications International Union–San Diego Union-TribuneNewspaper Contract Negotiation
Despite a largely successful, fifteen-year effort to get rid of its labor unions, in July 2002 the San Diego (California) Union-Tribune newspaper signed a contract with its pressroom workers that maintained the integrity of the Graphic Communications International Union as the legal bargaining agent. What was unusual was not simply that the company signed a contract after years of negotiations essentially designed to break the union, but that the…
On Media Concentration and the Diversity Question
Corporate mergers and the consolidation of ownership in the American communications arena have long been sources of concern. U.S. regulatory and antitrust policy traditionally attempted to secure a “diversity of voices” structurally, largely through rules regarding ownership. Although the meaning of diversity was always problematic and undertheorized, the Federal Communications Commission long set ceilings on the numbers of broadcast outlets any …
Communication and Democratic Reform in South Africa
Communication and Democratic Reform in South Africa
The book examines the reform of the communication sector in South Africa as a detailed and extended case study in political transformation - the transition from apartheid to democracy. The reform of broadcasting, telecommunications, the state information agency and the print press from apartheid-aligned apparatuses to accountable democratic institutions took place via a complex political process in which civil society activism, embodying a post-s…
Telecommunications policy in the new South Africa
This article examines the process of telecommunications reform in the `new' South Africa. In many, if not most countries, telecommunications reform has been pushed by political and economic elites, whose ability to bring about policy transformations derives largely from the insulation of `reform' from normal political decision-making channels and distributive claims. In marked contrast, telecommunications reform in South Africa was conducted with…
Selling the Air
In this study of the laws and policies associated with commercial radio and television, the author reverses the usual take on broadcasting and markets by showing that government regulation creates rather than intervenes in the market. Analyzing the processes by which commercial media are organized, Streeter asks how it is possible to take the practice of broadcasting - the reproduction of disembodied sounds and pictures for dissemination to vast …
Judicial Review of Regulatory Decisions
In 1981, in a case called FCC v. WNCN Listeners Guild, the Supreme Court put to rest a decade-long battle between the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).1 On the surface, this struggle between the nation's second most important judicial tribunal and a federal regulatory agency entailed simply a conflict over radio station format changes. Could a broadcast licensee's decision to change a r…
