The book explores comparatively the role of non-profit organizations in conditions of social and economic change. The focus of the study is an investigation of the proposition that non-profit organizations provide sites and processes for enhancing active citizenship, invigorating the public sphere and extending political participation. The study explores the economic constraints on voluntary associations and argues that they can function as 'schools of democracy'. This book is the first national study of the third-sector in Australia, but its conclusions have a general relevance to deregulated welfare societies in Europe and North America.

By framing the dilemma in American politics in terms of helping the poor or reducing dependency, this book examines the question of what government assistance can do. It explains why some people believe that focusing on dependency moves us away from the real problem of welfare reform.

Mary Jo Bane and David T. Ellwood examine the welfare system - its recipients, its providers and the many policy ideas surrounding it. Focusing on the AFDC Programme (Aid to Families with Dependent Children), they identify three models that have been used to explain welfare dependency and test them against an accumulating body of evidence, offering suggestions for identifying potential long-term recipients so that resources can be targeted to encourage self-sufficiency. Finally, they review policy options.

Gring-Pemble asserts that the role of language in shaping policy options is rarely studied and poorly understood. She seeks to analyze congressional hearings and debates on welfare to understand the role of language in framing welfare policy and contemporary welfare discussions. She reviews welfare history in the United States and provides a rhetorical analysis of welfare deliberations. In the process she illustrates the significance of language and ideology in shaping American social policy outcomes.

Much of today's political rhetoric decries the welfare state and our maze of government regulations. Critics hark back to a time before the state intervened so directly in citizens' lives. In The People's Welfare, William Novak refutes this vision of a stateless past by documenting America's long history of government regulation in the areas of public safety, political economy, public property, morality, and public health. Challenging the myth of American individualism, Novak recovers a distinctive nineteenth-century commitment to shared obligations and public duties in a well-regulated society. Novak explores the by-laws, ordinances, statutes, and common law restrictions that regulated almost every aspect of America's society and economy, including fire regulations, inspection and licensing rules, fair marketplace laws, the moral policing of prostitution and drunkenness, and health and sanitary codes. Based on a reading of more than one thousand court cases in addition to the leading legal and political texts of the nineteenth century, The People's Welfare demonstrates the deep roots of regulation in America and offers a startling reinterpretation of the history of American governance.

Images of poverty shape the debate surrounding it. In 1996, then President Bill Clinton signed welfare reform legislation repealing the principal federal program providing monetary assistance to poor families, Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). With the president's signature this originally non-controversial program became the only title of the 1935 Social Security Act to be repealed. The legislation culminated a retrenchment era in welfare policy beginning in the early 1980s. To understand completely the welfare policy debates of the last half of the 20th Century, the various images of poor people that were present must be considered. Visions of Poverty explores these images and the policy debates of the retrenchment era, recounting the ways in which images of the poor appeared in these debates, relaying shifts in images that took place over time, and revealing how images functioned in policy debates to advantage some positions and disadvantage others. Looking to the future, Visions of Poverty demonstrates that any future policy agenda must first come to terms with the vivid, disabling images of the poor that continue to circulate. In debating future reforms, participants-whose ranks should include potential recipients-ought to imagine poor people anew. This ground breaking study in policymaking and cultural imagination will be of particular interest to scholars in rhetorical studies, political science, history, and public policy.

Frances Gouda examines the different rhetorical approaches to poverty, charity, and social welfare embraced by intellectuals and policy-makers in the Netherlands and France in the period 1815-1854. She explores the different discourses in Holland and France about the revolutionary threat implicit in working-class poverty. By analysing the ways in which both politicians and social critics either embellished or criticized the unreliable statistics on poverty and criminality complied in the nineteenth century, Gouda explores the differences in Dutch and French perspectives on responsibility, the role of the church and state, and ideas about civil society.

Download The Rhetorical Critique of Institutions, Community, and Social Change Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This dissertation examines the relationship of rhetoric and rhetorical theory to social theory. It argues that theories of social order could better account for social change through an understanding of rhetoric and rhetorical theory. The dissertation analyzes and compares theories of social order: those of George Herbert Mead, Jean-Francois Lyotard, and Mary Douglas are compared and contrasted along the dimensions of four key terms: institutions, community, self identity, and risk. Each theorist posits a different dynamic among these key terms. The comparison among these three theorists defines a theoretical space termed a "discussion field". The discussion field is a theoretical space in which a case study can be analyzed without reducing it to the assumptions of a single theory: without either deconstructive atomism or nostalgic anachronism. The discussion field allows for the reanimation of the convergent tendencies of discourse while preserving its tensions and conflicts. The case study is the child welfare movement in the progressive era, 1900 to 1920, which successfully generated a consensus for social change by thematizing the relation of maternity, mother and child, and especially infant welfare, as a defining symbol of industrial urban social problems, and also as a sign of the potential for social progress. The progressives attempted to enact a peculiarly American vision of community in addressing these problems. Three strategies of constructing social space for discussion and persuasion were designed by the progressives: the settlement house, the welfare exhibition, and the "Better Baby" contest. Discourses of these three strategies for engineering community are interpreted in triangulation of the terms of Mead's pragmatism, Lyotard's postmodernism, and Douglas' "culture theory" of mediated consensus.
