George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison: Views on Powers of Government and the Two Party System
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the political views of these three founding fathers. Suggests that a debate between Washington, in particular, and modern day political scientists would reveal many differences. Although admittedly our government has become considerably more complex over time, Washington would undoubtedly still hold to his viewpoints of limited government powers and as to the dangers of a two party political system.

Globalization And Social Democracy
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Geoffrey Garrett's Partisan Politics in the Global Economy and Wallerstein et al's "Post-War Trade Union Organization and Industrial Relations in Twelve Countries" found in Continuity and Change in Contemporary Capitalism simultaneously address the aspect of globalization and social democracy. The primary differences between the two works resides with the fact that Garrett claims there exists a contradiction between countries and transnationals whose objective is to make money with other countries whose primary interests are with arts and entertainment. Garrett's theoretical argument backs this up with empirical findings presented in his book, as well as
being supported by Wallerstein et al. No additional sources cited.

Harold Seidman on “The Executive Establishment: Culture and Personality”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the role of the executive within governmental agencies according to Seidman. In Harold Seidman’s text “Politics, Position and Power: the Dynamics of Federal Organization” (1997) he discusses “The Executive Establishment: Culture and Personality” (Chapter 8). While there is an executive hierarchy within the government agencies, influence and position are often dependent on the specific agency and the relationships with those superior. Despite the professional expertise of some secretaries, their appointments are largely related to where in the country they are from, their lifestyle, what their professional and personal background is and how conformist they are to the established values and ideology of a particular agency and in fact are only as free to act “as big as the president, the bureaucracy, the Congress, and their constituencies allow them to be”. While higher executives within agencies fall within the expected traditional roles, undersecretaries and others within the agencies may more so represent the diverse groups within the portfolio. Despite the increase in external “hybrid” agencies, traditional social and cultural expectations remain of executives within the political structure who must conform to rather than try to reform the institutions they administer.
Bibliography lists 6 sources.
