  • The Role of Race in Attaining Substantive Representation
    Changing the Local Governing Regime: The Role of Race in Attaining Substantive Representation Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Carla Jackson Willis, M.A. Graduate Program in Political Science The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Harwood McClerking, Advisor Irfan Nooruddin Wendy Smooth John Wright Abstract Many scholars have examined the role of representation by minority elected officials. Underlying this examination was the assumption that black elected officials would represent the interests of black constituents in a way that was better than representation provided by white elected officials. However, support for this assumption has been mixed at best. This dissertation builds upon the political representation literature by assessing the degree to which minority elected officials address the needs of minority constituencies. In order to do this, I examine multiple forms of political representation and determine how they have been operationalized in the areas of resource allocation, local changes in governing regimes, and public attention to the current HIV/AIDS epidemic in African American communities. ii Dedicated to: Charles and Joyce Jackson iii Acknowledgements This project has been a labor of love that would not have been possible without the assistance, encouragement, and diligence of many people. First I’d like to thank my dissertation committee; Harwood McClerking, William Nelson, Irfan Nooruddin, Wendy Smooth, and Jack Wright. Dr. McClerking has taught me how to slow down and work diligently towards finding a clear message that moves the discipline forward. He has repeatedly challenged me to become a better researcher and helped me to develop both the technical and mental fortitude that is necessary in my development as a scholar.

THE EFFECTS OF ATLANTA’S URBAN REGIME POLITICS ON THE ATLANTA PUBLIC SCHOOLS CHEATING SCANDAL. by JOHNATHAN MUNGO Under the Direction of Lakeyta Bonnette-Bailey Ph.D. ABSTRACT Atlanta’s Urban Regime was involved at every point in the APS cheating scandal and subsequent fall out. The Anglo-American business elites and African American political leaders cared about the image of Atlanta more than the academic well-being of the students. The business community was driving the policies affecting the school system. These policies ultimately benefitted the well-connected members of the regime. At no point did African American voters operationalize their potential political power in the 2013 city elections after the cheating scandal.

The Politics of Race, Class, and Gentrification in the ATL Keith Jennings 1 Introduction Atlanta, Georgia, the ATL or “hotlanta,” is often referred to as the capital of the New South or the home of the modern-day civil rights movement. Because the Atlanta metropolitan region has gained more African Americans than any other region in the United States since 1990, in popular culture, it is even seen as the “Black Mecca,” a destination where Black people are empowered and opportunities exist for African Americans in all sectors of society. In fact, the Atlanta metro region accounted for nearly one-fifth of all Black population growth occurring in the nation’s 100 largest metro areas since 2000.

  • Imagine Downtown Envisioning Central Atlanta’S Future November 2005
    Imagine Downtown Envisioning Central Atlanta’s Future November 2005 Downtown Atlanta stands on the threshold of growth and development not seen since before the 1996 Olympic Games. New attractions, retail shops, office buildings and residential buildings have construction cranes reaching to the sky and bulldozers moving the earth. To capture the energy and excitement accompanying this activity, the central city community has come together to imagine the future of Downtown. Important questions have been asked relative to the goal of keeping Downtown the region’s hub for business, government, education, conventions, entertainment, sports, the arts, transportation and other activities that keep this region an integral whole – What kind of new development do we need and want to remain vital? What should it look like and how will new building contribute to Downtown’s unique urban character? Where can we accommodate the growing demand for new housing? How do we attract private investment? How will we get to and around Downtown? Where can we build new parks? The collective answers to these questions can be found in the Imagine Downtown plan. The emphasis of the Imagine Downtown plan is on bringing together the Downtown community to share one collaborative vision for how our community should grow and prosper. The plan provides a framework for the growth of Downtown neighborhoods and recommends transportation and open space infrastructure improvements necessary to support the plan. The Imagine Downtown plan reflects the hundreds of stakeholders who participated in its development. Our thanks to all who helped make this plan a reality, in particular the 1,900 online survey participants and the hundreds of stakeholders who participated in the Focus Area workshops.

A bit more awkwardly bisected by the railroad than many of her counterparts across the South, Temple fits into that category of town that sprang up to straddle railroad tracks coursing the state. The main road through Temple, U.S. 78, and the railroad parallel one another as they cut their angular tandem course east to west through its heart where the town acquiesces to the contours of the land.
