Process and Politics of Defense Acquisition: A Reference

Process and Politics of Defense Acquisition: A Reference Handbook: The United States government invests billions each year on equipping armed forces with the most advanced military equipment. The root of the American defense acquisition system is driven by a combination of national interests and domestic political requirements. While fundamentally the defense acquisition system has produced results for the United States military, improvements are needed in order to continue to move forward in advancing military tactics and technology. Exploring both the systemic and political levels of the system, Sorenson argues that the United States will fall behind if the current defense acquisition system is not reformed. This book brings together elements of this complicated system, such as national security requirements, and the changes that are needed in both the structural and political pillars. A combination of political interests and the needs of the military, serviced by an ever-shrinking defense industry, make a genuine acquisition reform even more difficult, resulting in reform that is more symbolic than genuine.

IC-Process-PC: International Classification of Process in

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wonca, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, This is the second in a series of four works designed to classify the components of the primary medical care interaction. It has been developed and field tested by the World Organization of National Colleges, Academies, and Academic Associations of General Practitioners/Family Physicians (WONCA) Classification Committee in concert with an ad hoc committee of the North American Primary Care Research Group. The interactions under analysis begin with the initial contact with a health care provider and include each step in the process: diagnostic, therapeutic, administrative, and final disposition or follow-up plans. The first book in the series, ICHPPC-2, coded the diagnostic part of the encounter. The latest volume makes it possible to code, classify, and count such valued and cost-effective modalities as listening, counseling, instructing, and educating patients and their families. Until now these aspects of health care provision have been omitted or downplayed by process analysts, even though they provide among the most instrumental therapeutic interventions. Their classification extends the ability to code for the first time to the efforts of health care personnel on the primary care level.

Punk Rock and the Politics of Place

Punk Rock and the Politics of Place: This book is an ethnographic investigation of punk subculture as well as a treatise on the importance of place: a location with both physical form and cultural meaning. Rather than examining punk as a "e sound"e or a "e style"e as many previous works have done, it investigates the places that the subculture occupies and the cultural practices tied to those spaces. Since social groups need spaces of their own to practice their way of life, this work relates punk values and practices to the forms of their built environments. As not all social groups have an equal ability to secure their own spaces, the book also explores the strategies punks use to maintain space and what happens when they fail to do so.

Congress and the Politics of National Security

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Auerswald, David P. / Campbell, Colton C., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In an increasingly complex and unpredictable world, a growing number of observers and practitioners have called for a reexamination of our national security system. Central to any such reform effort is an evaluation of Congress. Is Congress adequately organized to deal with national security issues in an integrated and coordinated manner? How have developments in Congress over the past few decades, such as heightened partisanship, message politics, party committee relationships, and bicameral relations, affected topical security issues? This volume examines variation in the ways Congress has engaged federal agencies overseeing our nation's national security as well as various domestic political determinants of security policy.

Inventing Futurism: The Art and Politics of Artificial

In the poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti published the founding manifesto of Italian Futurism,an inflammatory celebration of "the love of danger" and "the beauty of speed" that provoked readers to take aggressive action and "glorify war--the world's only hygiene." Marinetti's words unleashed an influential artistic and political movement that has since been neglected owing to its exaltation of violence and nationalism,its overt manipulation of mass media channels,and it

Pistoleros and Popular Movements: The Politics of State

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Smith, Benjamin, PUBLISHER: University of Nebraska Press, The postrevolutionary reconstruction of the Mexican government did not easily or immediately reach all corners of the country. At every level, political intermediaries negotiated, resisted, appropriated, or ignored the dictates of the central government. National policy reverberated through Mexico's local and political networks in countless different ways and resulted in a myriad of regional arrangements. It is this process of diffusion, politicking, and conflict that Benjamin T. Smith examines in "Pistoleros and Popular Movements." Oaxaca's urban social movements and the tension between federal, state, and local governments illuminate the multivalent contradictions, fragmentations, and crises of the state-building effort at the regional level. A better understanding of these local transformations yields a more realistic overall view of the national project of state building. Smith places Oaxaca within this larger framework of postrevolutionary Mexico by comparing the region to other states and linking local politics to state and national developments. Drawing on an impressive range of regional case studies, this volume is a comprehensive and engaging study of postrevolutionary Oaxaca's role in the formation of modern Mexico.

Stratagems and Spoils: A Social Anthropology of Politics

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bailey, F. G., PUBLISHER: Westview Press, F.G. Bailey's classic political-anthropology text is reissued here with a Postscript that comments critically on the book's scope, its reception, and its uses. First published in , "Stratagems and Spoils" captured the imagination of scholars and students with a revealing examination of principles of political competition that operate alike in "exotic" and "developed" societies. In Bailey's analysis, Swat Pathan chiefs, "cosa nostra" gangsters, General de Gaulle, and the Untouchables in a rural Indian village (for example) are shown employing similar strategies, both effective and ineffective, to win and hold followers while eroding the support of their opponents. Provocative and insightful, "Stratagems and Spoils" provides a conceptual toolkit for analyzing, in any culture, the rules that regulate political contests and determine who will win and who will lose.
