Товч агуулга:Social Regulatory Policy addresses some of the most controversial moral and institutional policy disputes of our time abortion, school prayer, affirmative action, pornography, gun control and crime. These issues exert a destabilizing influence on US politics because they excite partisan differences and resist normal consensus building processes. The six case studies in this book focus on the roles of the Congress and the president, on single issue interest groups and public opinion , and on the national bureaucracy and federalism.
