Stories of Experts and Influence: A Discourse Analytic Approach to Bureaucratic Autonomy in the Cold War Era Jessica Snow Wirgau Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Public Administration and Public Affairs Brian J. Cook, Chair Karen M. Hult Laura S. Jensen Patrick S. Roberts May 14, 2014 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: bureaucratic autonomy, discourse analysis, narrative, storyline, Cold War Copyright, 2014 Stories of Experts and Influence: A Discourse Analytic Approach to Bureaucratic Autonomy in the Cold War Era Jessica Snow Wirgau Abstract Government agencies exercise bureaucratic autonomy when they are able to pursue their goals independent, and sometimes in defiance, of political superiors. Over the last three decades, research in the area of bureaucratic autonomy has provided numerous examples of relatively autonomous agencies and has generally recognized the desire of administrators to carve out greater autonomy for their organizations, but the question of how administrators consciously or unconsciously pursue autonomy remains a rich and largely unexplored area of research. Most theories of bureaucratic autonomy typically fall into two categories: an autonomy based on task-specificity that is contingent on the function and expertise of the organization and the ability of the agency to accept or reject new tasks; and a reputation-based autonomy contingent on the ability of the agency to build and maintain a constituency and to secure a reputation for effectiveness that makes it politically difficult for elected officials to influence agency action. This study applies a discourse analytic approach to the study of autonomy in two agencies established during the Cold War whose primary function is the distribution of federal grants-in-aid: the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Institute of Mental Health. Drawing on the theory and practice of discourse analysis, this study seeks to expand upon existing perspectives by better understanding how storylines help administrators to define the agency’s mission and tasks and to develop its reputation for effectiveness. The findings suggest that storylines serve as causal drivers toward autonomy, operating in complex ways to influence individual decisions such as the scope of agency services and appropriations. They also suggest that storylines operate over time to both construct the circumstances that lead to greater autonomy and are simultaneously made more or less persuasive by those circumstances. Dedication To my three guys, Joe, Russell and ‘Indiana Jones’ whose love, encouragement and humor have made this long journey possible. iii Acknowledgements I have been incredibly fortunate throughout my time in this program to be inspired and supported by many friends and colleagues. I am grateful to the members of my committee, Karen Hult, Laura Jensen, and Patrick Roberts for their support and direction, and to Brian Cook for his guidance and encouragement over the last several years in both my academic and professional careers. Thank you, Dr. Cook, for helping to convince me that I could do all this, and maybe even do it well, whether meeting at TCH or coming to the Annual Meeting. I am grateful to Minnis Ridenour who by his example has taught me, and so many others, how to lead an organization beyond what is expected to what is possible. I try to apply those lessons everyday in my work with the Community Foundation of the New River Valley, whose board of directors has been an incredible source of encouragement. I am blessed to work with and for an organization that inspires me through the many people who give of their time, talent and treasure to benefit this community. I am particularly indebted to Laura Pynn, whose mix of humor, encouragement and motherly scolding has gotten me to the finish line of this and many other difficult projects. I have relied on support and laughter from many, many friends during my time at Virginia Tech, far too many to list here. Carol, Kim, Karen, Courtney, and Elisabeth in particular have become my go-to group when figuring out how to balance school, work and family. Jana, you will forever be my best friend, the link to Jersey I will always need to stay grounded. Kathy and Ronnie, you have become like family to me, Joe and Russell. Parties at your house on Sunset and animal pancakes at our place have become some of my most treasured experiences. My family has been with me every step of the way, and I know they are probably even more excited than I am to reach this milestone. Kim and Elaine, Scott and Beth (and Connor), Aunt Sue, Donna, Fred, Mike, Tracy and the whole Derkowski/Cuva crew, thank you for making me feel like family from the minute I met you. My brother, Andy, will forever be the smartest, most humble, and funniest person I know. Andy, thanks to you, Jenn, John and Liam for hosting me at your place and letting me build a zoo in the boys’ room. My parents have given my brother and I so many opportunities, and more importantly, the love and support we needed to take full advantage of every one. Mom and Dad, with two Duke grads and two PhDs, I hope you know what a great job you’ve done. Thank you for setting a wonderful example of what it means to work hard and build a happy family. Now enjoy the lake and all that pewter! There has been no better motivator for this project than my son Russell - the coolest, funniest kid around – and his little brother on the way. Russell, thank you so much for having such a kind heart and for letting me work all these hours when I should have been watching Phineas and Ferb, celebrating Rocko’s 9 year, 8 month, 15 day birthday, and playing Legos with you. Eight years ago my husband encouraged me to go back to school because he could see how much I wanted it. That was all the convincing he needed. Joe, I could not ask for a kinder, better person to share this and every experience with. I am so grateful to you as a dad, a husband and a friend. Thank you for your love and patience. You are amazing. iv Table of Contents Dedication…………………………………………………………………………………...iii Acknowledgements………………………………………………………………………….iv Table of Contents……………………………………………………………………………v List of Figures……………………………………………………………………………….vii List of Tables………………………………………………………………………………..viii Chapter 1: Introduction ……………………………………………………………..……… 1 Statement of the Problem – The Space for Autonomy ……………………….……. 2 Research Questions, Theoretical Approach and Significance .…………..…………. 8 Narratives as Causal Drivers .………………………………………………….……. 8 The Discourse of the Cold War …………………………………………………….. 13 The Cases: The NEA and the NIMH ……………………………………………….. 16 Methodology………………………………………………………………………… 20 Limitations………………………………………………………………………...… 23 Organization…………………………………………………………………………..26 Chapter 2: Literature Review…………………………………………………………………27 Introduction…………………………………………………………………………...27 Bureaucratic Autonomy Defined……………………………………………………..28 The Autonomy Continuum…………………………………………………………...30 Indicators of Autonomy………………………………………………………………32 Task-Based Approaches to Bureaucratic Autonomy…………………………………35 Reputation-Based Approaches to Bureaucratic Autonomy…………………………..37 Towards a Discursive Approach……………………………………………………...40 Summary………………………………………………………………………….......45 Chapter 3: Conceptual Framework…………………………………………………………...46 Introduction…………………………………………………………………………...46 Theoretical Foundations of Discourse Analysis………………………....……………46 Foucault’s Genealogical Approach to Discourse……………………………………..49 The Practice of Discourse Analysis…………………………………………………..53 Narratives and Storylines……………………………………………………………..57 Summary……………………………………………………………………………...62 Chapter 4: Research Design…………………………………………………………………..65 Introduction…………………………………………………………………………...65 Exploring Causal Mechanisms Through Case Studies……………………………….65 Case Selection………………………………………………………………………...69 Data Collection & Analysis…………………………………………………………..76 Summary……………………………………………………………………………...82 Chapter 5: The National Endowment for the Arts……………………………………………83 Introduction…………………………………………………………………………...83 Public Support for the Arts Prior to the NEA………………………………………...85 v A Storyline of Quality: Defining the Art Worthy of Public Funding……..………….91 A Storyline of Access: Private Partners and Arts Consumers………………………108 Quality and Access in the Culture Wars………………………………………….…121 Summary…………………………………………………………………………….127 Chapter 6: The National Institute of Mental Health………………………………………...129 Introduction………………………………………………………………………….129 Mental Health Care In the United States Before the NIMH………………………...131 The Storyline of Mental Health……………………………………………………..137 Developing a Constituency of Storytellers………………………………………….143 The Storyline of Community Care………………………………………………….153 Constructing and Staffing a Bold, New Approach………………………….………164 Social Activism Rises and the Administration’s Support Wanes…………….……..171 Declining Autonomy in an Age of Decentralization………………………………..180 Summary…………………………………………………………………………….187 Chapter 7: Summary and Conclusions……………………..……………………………….190 Introduction…………………………………………………………………………190 Evidence of Autonomy at the NEA and the NIMH………………………………...191 Narratives as Drivers Toward Autonomy…………………………………………..199 Narratives as Carriers of Agency Decline…………………………………………..208 Additional Considerations and Reflections for the Future………………………….213 Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………..218 References…………………………………………………………………………………..219

    Correcting the Structural Defects in the National Endowment for the Arts

    Independence vs. Accountability: Correcting the Structural Defects in the National Endowment for the Arts Craig Alford Masbackt Politics has moved to center stage in the arts world. It has been almost twenty-seven years since Congress established the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) as part of the National Foundation on the Arts and Humanities Act of 1965 (Act).1 Since then, the NEA has faced a variety of challenges, but none like the one which unfolded during the last four years in Washington, D.C. During this time, the very existence of the organization has been at issue.2 Until the mid-1980s, the NEA enjoyed consistent, and only occasionally contested, congressional support as it distributed grants to arts organizations, state arts agencies, and individuals. As congressional appropriations grew from $2.5 million in 1966' to $175 million in 1991," the NEA saved dying ballet companies, launched programs to improve the teaching of poetry in schools, and helped start an American literary anthology. The NEA has achieved a significant decentralization in arts funding, education, and participation in the United States by encouraging the expansion in the number of state arts agen- cies.5 While the NEA was, theoretically, structured to be insulated from govern- ment control, the issue of the organization's independence has been central to t A.B. 1977 Princeton University.

    Chapter 13: “Fostering Civic Engagement Through the Arts: a Blueprint” by Devereaux

    Chapter 13: “Fostering Civic Engagement Through the Arts: A Blueprint” by DeVereaux Art Policy and Advocacy Policy Quest The aim of this assignment is for you to learn about some of the important issues, events, and individuals in the history of arts policy in the United States. At the same time, you will be gaining research skills that will help you improve your research capacity in this course and others. The questions posed are intentionally posed in a way that requires you to do research and a bit of problem-solving to figure out exactly what information in needed. With that said, in this assignment, you should find information to respond to the posed questions by any means you can! What that means is that it is not readily obvious how you should answer the questions, where you should go to find the answers, or what answers are required. As a graduate student, you will encounter similar situations when you are conducting research for papers and projects you will complete. The ability to develop your own research leads based on vague or ambiguous ideas has great value for this reason. Keep in mind that “research” does not just pertain to looking things up in books. As a researcher, you should begin to discover the multiple ways you can track down data. A savvy researcher might, in fact, begin with a subject librarian who can show ways to facilitate the search. Before beginning this assignment, note that: All questions relate to the fields of arts management and arts policy, so you should find answers for each that relate to these areas.

    The Ethic, Phenomenology and Diagnostic of Post-War French Psychiatry

    The Ethic, Phenomenology and Diagnostic of post-war French Psychiatry Thesis submitted to the University of London for the award of Doctor of Philosophy By, David Reggio Goldsmiths College, Department ofHistory, University of London November 2005 1 Abstract of Thesis The thesis seeks to examine the ethical, phenomenological and diagnostic renewal of psychiatry in post-war France. The particular focus of study will be to bring to light (1) the emergence of a psychiatric movement that was to become known as Institutional Psychotherapy in 1952, (2) the inauguration of a particular post-war clinical sentiment of sympathy, (3) and the more specific developments of the psychopathology of schizophrenia undertaken by Dr. Franyois Tosquelles and Dr. Jean Oury. The thesis is composed of three chapters: The first chapter of the thesis, presents a bi-focal analysis of a philanthropic politic characterising two significant moments of medical reform, where psychiatry finds its Hippocratic and Apostolic definition as a vocation addressing the imperial need of man. The first moment, is that of Philippe Pinel in a Post­ Revolutionary France, who urged for more specialised spaces employing the non-violent treatment of the insane. The second, is the German Occupation of France, where the psychiatrist's personage in the questionably 'free' Vichy South is one that is dramatic and resistant. This historical study is conducted in order to bring to light the methodological shift within the history of European psychiatry: what was the art of medicine and alienation for Pinel of the Paris Pitie Salpetriere, is extended and redefmed as the art ofsympathy and dis-alienation for those of the clinical fraternity of Saint-Alban.

THE NEA CONTROVERSY Jesse Helms* America is in the midst of a cultural war. On one side are those of us who want to keep our nation rooted in Judeo-Christian morality. On the other, are those who would discard this traditional morality in favor of a radical moral relativism. It is nothing less than a struggle for the soul of our nation. How this controversy is resolved will determine whether America will succeed and prosper, or be left in the dust bin of history. That is why the use of taxpayers' dollars by the National Endowment for the Arts ("NEA") to subsidize offensive and obscene "art" -- in effect, to subsidize the efforts of moral relativ- ists to undermine America's Judeo-Christian heritage and morality -- is such a threat to the future of our nation. The role of the National Endowment for the Arts in this struggle first surfaced in 1989 when the agency awarded a grant -- and the stamp of public approval -- to Andres Serrano for his photograph of a crucifix in a vat of urine.

    The Story of Nursing in British Mental Hospitals

    Downloaded by [New York University] at 12:59 29 November 2016 The Story of Nursing in British Mental Hospitals From their beginnings as the asylum attendants of the nineteenth century, mental health nurses have come a long way. This is the first comprehensive history of mental health nursing in Britain in over twenty years, and during this period the landscape has transformed as the large institutions have been replaced by services in the community. McCrae and Nolan examine how the role of mental health nursing has evolved in a social and professional context, brought to life by an abundance of anecdotal accounts. The nine chronologically ordered chapters follow the development from untrained attendants in the pauper lunatic asylums to the professionally qualified nurses of the twentieth century, and, finally, consider the rundown and closure of the mental hospitals from nurses’ perspectives. Throughout, the argument is made that while the training, organisation and environment of mental health nursing has changed, the aim has remained essentially the same: to nurture a therapeutic relationship with people in distress. McCrae and Nolan look forward as well as back, and highlight significant messages for the future of mental health care. For mental health nursing to be meaningfully directed, we must first understand the place from which this field has developed. This scholarly but accessible book is aimed at anyone with an interest in mental health or social history, and will also act as a useful resource for policy- makers, managers and mental health workers. Niall McCrae is a lecturer in mental health nursing at Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery, King’s College London.
