Political Participation in the United States

Cq Pr

CQ Press

Political Participation in the United States analyzes patterns of political participation by citizens and offers five different explanations for those patterns based on recent research findings. Symbolic and instrumental forms of participation are analyzed - from the simple act of discussing politics to the more complex one of running for office. The book examines who participates, what forms of participation they choose, and what they hope to accomplish. M. Margaret Conway also considers the reasons for, and the consequences of, non-participation. She concludes with a discussion of the impact of participation on individuals and on the policies and processes of government in the United States. This new third edition is updated throughout both in its discussion of research about participation, and its examination of participation patterns (through the 1998 elections). Expanded discussions cover: the role of political mobilization in recruiting people to participate; the impact of relative education levels on the types of participation people engage in; and the importance of social connectedness in stimulating participation and acting as a channel for political recruitment.

Now updated to include the latest research, court decisions, and policy directions, as well as references to the most fruitful web sites for further research, this fascinating volume explores the rich ongoing interaction of cultural change and public policy as it affects the lives of women in the United States.
With engaging vignettes of women's personal stories and lively, readable explanations, the book covers a broad range of policy areas, from education to family law, and the authors provide historical context and outline the formation and implementation of current policy. An index, suggestions for further reading, and chronologies of major events add to the reference value of this work.

Women & Public Policy: A Revolution in Progress

Ahern, David W.

Steuernagel, Gertrude A.

Sociology

Congressional Quarterly, Incorporated

Women’s participation in the United States is shaped by the changing landscape of the country’s cultural history. Through an exploration of the political socialization of women, the authors give students a powerful way to understand the gender gap in political attitudes, patterns of women’s political participation, and women as members of the political elite.
For this new second edition the authors have updated every chapter with new content and data. Greater coverage of the interaction of gender, race, class, ethnicity, and age is integrated throughout and alongside additional material on feminism, Title IX, origins of the gender gap, and more on agents of socialization.

Women and Political Participation: Cultural Change in the Political Arena

Social Sciences

In a much-anticipated revision, the third edition of this widely used volume continues to track the impact of cultural change on women‘s roles and the public policies that affect their lives. Women and Public Policy places a broad range of policy issues―from education and health care to economic equity and the criminal justice system―in historical context, discusses the formation and implementation of current policy, and explores public policy silences. In addition to featuring and analyzing new data, this third edition:
<ul>
<li>highlights issues of race, class, age, and ethnicity, showing how they intersect with gender in crucial ways.</li>
 <li>includes greatly expanded coverage of reproductive issues with a new chapter devoted to the topic, looking comprehensively at contraception and abortion, the international gag rule, RU-486, the morning after pill, later-term abortion developments, and reproductive technologies.</li>
 <li>showcases recent developments in all policy areas, from the impact of welfare reform on educational opportunities and child support enforcement to a discussion of Medicare and prescription drug coverage.</li>
</ul>
