  • ABSTRACT POLITICAL (IN)DISCRETION: HILLARY CLINTON's RESPONSE to the LEWINSKY SCANDAL by Kelsey Snyder Through an Examination
    ABSTRACT POLITICAL (IN)DISCRETION: HILLARY CLINTON’S RESPONSE TO THE LEWINSKY SCANDAL by Kelsey Snyder Through an examination of gender, politics, and media during the time of the Lewinsky scandal, this project shows that conversations about the first lady shifted throughout 1998. Just after the allegations were made public, the press and American people fought against the forthright position that Hillary took; the expectations of traditional first ladies they had known before were not met. After facing backlash via the press, the first lady receded to more acceptably defined notions of her actions, based largely in late 20th century conservative definitions of appropriate gender roles. By the end of 1998, consideration of a run for the Senate and increased public support for her more traditional image provided a compromise for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s public image. Having finally met the expectations of the nation, the press spoke less of the first lady in comparison to family values and almost exclusively by means of her political abilities.

  • Forging a New Democratic Party: the Politics of the Third Way from Clinton to Obama Curtis Atkins a Dissertation Submitted to T
    FORGING A NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY: THE POLITICS OF THE THIRD WAY FROM CLINTON TO OBAMA CURTIS ATKINS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN POLITICAL SCIENCE YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO May 2015 © Curtis Atkins 2015 ABSTRACT This dissertation analyzes the evolution of the American Democratic Party’s ideological orientation from 1985 to 2014. The central problem is to develop an understanding of how shifts in political-economic context and factional agency combine to produce alterations in the predominant ideology of a U.S. political party. The primary question posed is how the centrist perspective known as the ‘third way’ replaced the left-liberalism of the New Deal and Great Society eras as the guiding public philosophy of the Democratic Party. Whereas many scholars propose that the modern third way revisionism of center-left parties is explained primarily as electoral opportunism or as an adoption of the political logic of the New Right, this study focuses on how changes in political economy (particularly the transition from Keynesianism to neoliberalism) prompted the elaboration of an alternative ideological framework that sought to adapt to new times. In the U.S. case, the primary agent of this process of ideological reorientation was the New Democrat faction, most well-known for its connection to President Bill Clinton. Combining qualitative document analysis and focused interviews with personnel from the think-tanks and policy institutes of the New Democrat faction and its competitors, the dissertation finds that the initiation and maintenance of reorientation is dependent on a faction’s success in elaborating and continually ‘decontesting’ an alternative framework that de-legitimatizes a party’s pre-existing ideological commitments.

  • “New Democratic Party:” Bill Clinton and the Democratic Leadership Council’S Road to the Center by Leslie Schuster
    The “New Democratic Party:” Bill Clinton and the Democratic Leadership Council’s Road to the Center By Leslie Schuster This paper was written for History 364: History of American Suburbia. The class was taught by Professor Matthew Lassiter in Fall 2009. Between the late 1980s and early 1990s, through a language of personal responsibility, centrist members of the Democratic National Party (DNC) overhauled the party in order to break the streak of Republican control in the White House. Beginning with the Nixon presidential campaign of 1968, the crucial support of the Middle American “Silent Majority” was pushed rightward to Republicans. Playing largely on fear and resentment, Republicans successfully conveyed liberal ideology as a threat to Middle American values to which the white, affluent suburban lifestyle was inextricably linked. Thus, the term “liberalism” was transformed into a “dirty” word in American politics while the party who stood for it became similarly viewed as an emblematic enemy of the suburban-based, hardworking, high-striving, and most of all, self- characterized average American family. The dismal showings of George McGovern in 1972 and Walter Mondale in 1984 spurned a schism in the Democratic Party with many seeking to reform both its image and platform in order to make it more appealing to that untapped middle majority. Although faring better at the polls, in 1988, Democrats continued to appear weak. Plagued by Republican attacks and a series of strategic missteps, Vice President George W. Bush soundly defeated then-Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis for the third consecutive Republican bid for the White House. Following this defeat, a group of prominent Democrats sought to shift the focus and national reputation of their party.

  • 1 Introduction 2 Redefining the Democrats
    Notes 1 Introduction 1. Clinton became chair of the DLC in March 1990 at a time when he was already thinking about his chances of making a presidential bid in 1992. As Shafer notes, ‘The DLC chairmanship would provide him not only with a pre-packaged program but with organizational connections around the country’ (2000, p.13). 2. Al From, president of the Democratic Leadership Council, made the following reflections after a policy seminar in November 1997 which brought together government officials and policy analysts representing the New Democrats and New Labour. ‘The similarities between our movements are striking. Both were born out of frustration with repeated losses in national elections due to our parties’ far-left policies. Both aimed to build a majority coalition composed of those who are in the middle class and struggling to stay there, and those who aspire to get there. Both led our parties out of the political wilderness by offer- ing voters new, progressive ideas that rejected our parties’ recent excesses but remained true to our parties’ first principles’ (1997a, p.35). 3. See Kuttner and Dionne, 2000 for a discussion of the merits of the Clinton presidency. 2 Redefining the Democrats 1. It is important to be aware of potential terminological confusion here. The terms neo-conservative and also neo-liberal were commonly used in US political debate in the late 1970s and early 1980s to describe a breed of politician and political commentator who, for want of a better description, were ‘nearly’ conservative or ‘nearly’ liberal. For a fuller explanation of ‘neo-’ in this sense see Steinfels, 1979; Kondracke, 1982; Rothenberg, 1984; Dolbeare and Medcalf, 1988.
