  • The Political Process
    1980-81 Institute of Politics John F.Kennedy School of Government Harvard University PROCEEDINGS Institute of Politics 1980-81 John F. Kennedy School of Government Harvard University FOREWORD Here is Proceedings '81, the third edition of this annual retrospective of the Institute of Politics. It serves the function of an annual report, but it is more than that. Part One, "Readings," is a sampling of written and spoken words drawn from the many formats of Institute activity: panel discussions and speeches in our Forum, dialogue among conference participants, an essay from a faculty study group, stu­ dent writing from the Harvard Political Review, personal evalutions from a summer intern and from our resident Fellows, and so forth. They contain impassioned rhetoric from controversial figures as well as opinion and analysis from less well- known individuals. This year we even have a poem and a little humor. Taken together, the "Readings," represent a good cross-section of what happens here. Part Two, 'Programs," is a record of all the events sponsored by the Institute dur­ ing the 1980-81 academic year. This section delineates the participation of hundreds of individuals who together make the Institute the lively, interactive place that it is. Although they are not all captured on tape or on paper, their contributions make this place come alive, and this listing is a recognition of that. Thus, the annual editions of Proceedings provide an ongoing portrait of the In­ stitute of Politics. I hope you find it both informative and enjoyable.

  • The Significance and Impact of Women
    THE SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF WOMEN ON THE RISE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IN TWENTIETH CENTURY TEXAS Kristi Throne Strickland, B.B.A., M.A. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2000 APPROVED: Ronald E. Marcello, Major Professor and Chair Donald K. Pickens, Committee Member Randolph B. Campbell, Committee Member Alexandra Leavell, Committee Member Elizabeth Esterchild, Committee Member Richard M. Golden, Chair of the Department of History C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Strickland, Kristi Throne, The Significance and Impact of Women on the Rise of the Republican Party in Twentieth Century Texas. Doctor of Philosophy (History), August, 2000, 267 pp., references, 180 titles. During the early twentieth century, the Democratic party dominated the conservative political landscape of Texas. Through the 1920s, members of the Republican party focused on patronage and seemed content to maintain the position of minority party. A growing dissatisfaction with the liberal policies of the New Deal during the 1930s created opportunities for state Republicans to woo dissenting Democrats to their side. With a change of leadership within the state GOP after 1950, the Republicans waged serious campaigns for offices for the first time. Republican men exercised their political yearnings through leadership positions. Women, on the other hand, were shut out of the leadership ranks, and, as a consequence, they chose a traditional female strategy. They organized clubs in order to support the new leadership and rising candidates. Against formidable odds, Republican women acted as foot soldiers and worked diligently to attain their objectives.

    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jewerl Maxwell Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy __________________________________________ Director Dr. Ryan Barilleaux __________________________________________ Reader Dr. Augustus Jones __________________________________________ Reader Dr. John Rothgeb __________________________________________ Graduate School Representative Dr. Allan Winkler Abstract In his 2001 text With a Stroke of a Pen, Kenneth Mayer contended, “Affirmative action – or the practice of granting preferences in employment, contracting, or education on the basis of race and gender – is largely a creature of executive action” (202). In spite of the substantial role played by America’s chief executives in enactment of such policies, with the exception of Mayer’s brief analysis in his chapter on civil rights, explanations regarding how and why presidents have enacted such policies have eluded presidency scholars. Thus, the primary objective of this study is to identify and explain the answer to the following questions: 1) To what extent have modern presidents used executive orders to establish federal affirmative action policy in the realm of equal employment opportunity for underrepresented groups in American society, prior to actions taken by other governmental institutions? 2) What factors explain presidential decision-making regarding executive orders pertaining to equal employment opportunity for underrepresented groups?

  • NFRW 35Th Biennial Convention Report
    NFRW 35th Biennial Convention Report More than 1,300 registrants from 45 states attended the NFRW’s 35th Biennial convention in Orlando, Florida. North Carolina was represented by 35 NCFRW members. Thursday - Many enjoyed Florida activities, including NASA, Epcot, Universal, Sea World. Friday - Registration was smooth and convenient.

North Carolina was represented by Kimberly Jenkins, daughter of Martha Jenkins. Singing the national anthem was Gina Incanzela, a nine-year-old autistic girl. Georgia State Party Chairman Sue Everhart was a keynote speaker who identified WINs (Women In Numbers). She raised many millions and told us that on election night 2008, President George Bush called and said "the lights went out across the nation, but the lights stayed on in Georgia."

Pfeffer December 2012 © 2012 Stephen T. Pfeffer. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Hostile Takeover: The New Right Insurgent Movement, Ronald Reagan, and the Republican Party, 1977-1984 by STEPHEN T. PFEFFER has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Chester J. Pach Associate Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT PFEFFER, STEPHEN T., Ph.D., December 2012, History Hostile Takeover: The New Right Insurgent Movement, Ronald Reagan, and the Republican Party, 1977-1984 Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach, Jr. The debates involved in the post-World War II period concerning the growth of the conservative movement center on factors such as race, a shift in public thinking to the right, a divided Democratic party, demographics, and cultural issues as a way to explain the success of conservatism in the latter half of the twentieth century. Some historians credit grassroots movements for their impact on conservatism, while others believe that influential intellectuals and conservative leaders changed the perception of the Republican brand. This dissertation examines the contentious relationship between the New Right and the Ronald Reagan’s first presidential administration. Led by Richard Viguerie, Paul Weyrich, Terry Dolan, and Howard Phillips, the New Right arose during the 1970s as an insurgent movement within the Republican Party that had become disillusioned with party elites and its moderate positions.
