Behind the White House curtain : a senior journalist's story of covering the president - and why it matters / Steven L Herman

Sat, 05 Oct 2024 01:15:42 +0900

Steven L Herman. Behind the White House curtain : a senior journalist's story of covering the president - and why it matters. The Kent State University Press, [2024]. ISBN:9781606354773; 1606354779
"Steven L Herman, chief national correspondent for the nonpartisan, government-funded Voice of America (VOA), weaves together memoir and history to pull back the curtain on the inner workings of the White House press corps, giving readers a rare glimpse into the historic and current relationship between the president and the press. Herman traces the trajectory of his career as a journalist-from learning to be skeptical of government officials' statements when he worked as a novice reporter covering nuclear testing in Nevada in the 1970s to understanding the power of on-the-ground social media coverage after the Fukushima disaster in 2011 and facing the challenges of covering the Trump administration. He reflects on the experience of reporting on a president who once called journalists "enemies of the people"-and indeed, former president Trump singled out VOA, accusing the organization of being not a voice of America but rather a voice supporting Moscow's and Beijing's interests. Under questionable circumstances, top VOA executives lost their security clearances, and a dossier was prepared on Herman in an effort to remove him as White House bureau chief. With journalistic independence under threat, Herman feared not only for his career but also for "the soul of Voice of America." Throughout Behind the White House Curtain, Herman convincingly argues that public access to accurate, unbiased information is essential to a healthy and peaceful democracy, and that journalists can and should play a key role in pressing government officials to be truthful and transparent. At a time when misinformation is rampant and the need for unbiased coverage of current events is more urgent than ever, Herman reminds readers that freedom of the press is a foundational American right"

The presidents and the people : five leaders who threatened democracy and the citizens who fought to defend it / Corey Brettschneider

Corey Brettschneider. The presidents and the people : five leaders who threatened democracy and the citizens who fought to defend it. First edition, W.W. Norton & Company, [2024]. ISBN:9781324006275; 1324006277
This meticulously researched account of assaults on democracy by five presidents who imprisoned critics, spread a culture of white supremacy and committed crimes with impunity shows how citizens like Frederick Douglass, Ida B. Wells and Daniel Ellsberg fought back against presidential abuses of power; "In this propulsive and eminently readable history, constitutional law and political science professor Corey Brettschneider provides a thoroughly researched account of assaults on democracy by not one such president but five. John Adams waged war on the national press of the early republic, overseeing numerous prosecutions of his critics. In the lead-up to the Civil War, James Buchanan colluded with the Supreme Court to deny constitutional personhood to African Americans. A decade later, Andrew Johnson urged violence against his political opponents as he sought to guarantee a white supremacist republic after the Civil War. In the 1910s, Woodrow Wilson modernized, popularized, and nationalized Jim Crow laws. In the 1970s, Richard Nixon committed criminal acts that flowed from his corrupt ideas about presidential power. Through their actions, these presidents illuminated the trip wires that can damage or even destroy our democracy"--

The president's day : managing time in the Oval Office / Matthew N. Beckmann

Tue, 21 Jan 2025 22:17:53 +0900

Matthew N. Beckmann. The president's day : managing time in the Oval Office. Columbia University Press, [2024]. ISBN:9780231215862; 023121586X; 9780231215879; 0231215878
""Lyndon Johnson felt the burden of the presidency acutely: "Only in the White House can you finally know the full weight of this office." Herein lies a fundamental insight into presidential work: for all the attention on dramatic moments, a president's performance is mostly seeded in the daily grind of doing the job. On the front lines, matters of leadership manifest as questions of time. How can the president harness the office's awesome resources while handling its exacting demands-day after day, month after month, year after year? In this work of presidential studies, political scientist Matt Beckmann considers the daily schedules of postwar presidents. Presidents attend obligatory events, make critical meetings, meet necessary people. From this angle, presidents are largely constrained by an office they did not create and incentives they cannot control. Richard Neustadt made the point: "However much the president knows, however sharp his senses, his time remains the prisoner of first things first."; Whereas presidents once embodied the presidency, the creation of the Executive Office of the President and broader growth of "the presidential branch" seemingly added institutional scaffolding at the expense of individual discretion. But far from being interchangeable cogs set in an institutional system, presidents have broad discretion about how to implement an impossible job, and this is revealed in the distinctive ways they invest their time each day. Beckmann introduces an eclectic array of granular evidence about postwar presidents' daily work practices from 1961 to 2008, John F. Kennedy to George W. Bush. These data come from a myriad of sources, culled from a myriad of methods: elite interviews and archival records, small-n case studies and large-n quantitative analyses. This large-scale project affords the first comprehensive look into the ways presidents work on stage and behind the scenes. Beckmann sorts and analyzes nearly forty thousand activities, across nearly two thousand days, spanning forty-eight years, covering nine presidencies, to discover how the latitude presidents have in how to operate their office.""--

Donald J. Trump's Presidency : communicating race and migration / edited by Chuka Onwumechili

Thu, 08 Aug 2024 18:56:52 +0900

edited by Chuka Onwumechili. Donald J. Trump's Presidency : communicating race and migration. Routledge, 2024. ISBN:103264074X; 9781032640747; 9781032640877; 1032640871
This book captures Donald J. Trump's presidency by addressing the remarkable tropes that defined that period. It offers research-based investigations of the communicative aspects of Trump's presidency, with a focus on race, immigration, xenophobia, and social conflicts as they interact with communication. The book utilizes research data to capture critical moments of the presidency. Chapters examine metadiscourse during President Trump's press events, where he accused the media of "Nasty Question" and "Fake News", offer computational framing analysis to expose the communication of racism and xenophobia in US-Mexico cross-border wall discourses, and provide critical textual analysis of select episodes of CW's critically acclaimed TV show Jane the Virgin, exposing how citizenship, or lack thereof shapes one's relationship to the state and surrounding communities. They also offer textual analysis to demonstrate how a predominantly White newsroom differs from a newsroom that is racially diverse, against the backdrop of the coverage of two politically charged issues of Black Lives Matter and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), and explore interdisciplinary concepts related to understanding immigrants' and sojourners' believability evaluation of disinformation. Donald J. Trump's Presidency will be a key resource for scholars and researchers of communication studies, political communication, media and cultural studies, race and ethnic studies, and political science, while also appealing to anyone interested in the communicative aspects of Trump's presidency and American politics. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Howard Journal of Communications

The human resource management of political staffers : insights from Prime Ministers' advisers and reformers / Jennifer Lees-Marshment

Jennifer Lees-Marshment. The human resource management of political staffers : insights from Prime Ministers' advisers and reformers. Routledge; Routledge, 2024. ISBN:9781032636412; 1032636416; 9781032621722; 1032621729
"The Human Resource Management of Political Staffers: Insights from Prime Ministers' Advisers and Reformers explores the human resource management of political staffers and advisers who work for politicians. Deeply grounded in the experiences of those who worked in the highest political offices under Prime Ministers Boris Johnson, Justin Trudeau, Scott Morrison and Jacinda Ardern, it makes the case for better management of staffers by illuminating past problems with the workplace such as extreme workloads, little work-life balance and lack of orientation and training. But it also offers a way forward by combining ad hoc positive experiences into guidance for future best practice. Drawing on interviews with advisers/staffers and practitioners working on HR reform in politics, in four countries - the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand - it provides a research-informed best practice guide for the staffers/advisers, their managers and reformers which offers practical advice on how to recruit, orientate and train, manage and support staffers and advisers appropriately within the complex political environment. It also conveys the highly skilled roles staffers undertake and the democratic contribution they make. The Human Resource Management of Political Staffers is a must-have guide to current and future advisers, politicians and ministers. Human Resource Management for political staffers is important not just for the individuals but to enable taxpayer-funded staffers to perform more effectively, which will in turn help elected politicians deliver for voters"--

The presidency and immigration policy : rhetoric and reality / Matthew Eshbaugh-Soha, Eric Gonzalez Juenke, and Andrea Silva

Matthew Eshbaugh-Soha, Eric Gonzalez Juenke, and Andrea Silva. The presidency and immigration policy : rhetoric and reality. Routledge, 2024; ©2024. ISBN:9781032293554; 1032293551; 9781032293585; 1032293586
"The president's agenda is a major force for policy change. Presidents have a singular ability not only to focus the attention of other policymaking institutions, the public, and news media, but also to frame a policy debate to reflect national consensus or provoke reasons for change. Throughout the modern era of the presidency, it is the president's words, rhetoric, and speeches that express a president's commitment to an issue. By going public, presidents seek to mobilize others to also support policy change. With so much expected of presidential leadership in the public arena why have presidents failed to motivate immigration policy change for the past thirty years? From Washington through Biden, we catalog the president's public mentions of immigration, counting not only how much attention presidents have devoted to immigration, but also their tone. We reveal that despite prioritizing immigration policy, especially since Clinton, presidents are most likely to respond to the agenda of the public, news media, and Congress on immigration. Without leading the public and news media, each president since Clinton has failed to sign comprehensive immigration reform into law. It may be that the president's immigration rhetoric is insufficient to affect immigration policy change, paving the way for a new strategy of presidential leadership"--

Barack Hussein Obama's presidency : rhetoric and media frames / edited by Chuka Onwumechili

This book presents research-based investigations of the communicative aspects of Barack Obama's presidency, with a focus on ethnicity, gender, and culture as they interact with communication. It examines Obama's rhetorical strengths, that also inform his visual rhetorical control, and looks beyond Obama's messaging to examine how the news framed his presidency. The book opens by exploring the racio-rhetorical humour applied by President Obama during his presidency. Chapters investigate topics such as Obama's use of visual rhetoric, how the media framed Obama using racialized lens, and offer iconographical analysis of satires featured in The New Yorker that symbolized the politics of racial fear erupting prior to the start of Obama's presidency. They also examine how the White House used YouTube messaging to rebuild the first lady Michelle Obama's image in ways that became acceptable to a wider American public, Obama's rhetorical struggles to work within tensions created by the intersection of race and violence and analyze President Obama's speeches at Tribal Nations Conferences. Barack Hussein Obama's Presidency will be a key resource for scholars and researchers of communication studies, political communication, media and cultural studies, race and ethnic studies, and political science, while also appealing to anyone interested in the communicative aspects of Obama's presidency and American politics.

"The book explains why Indonesia's presidential system turned from an extraordinarily unstable polity one into one of the world's most solid. It did so, the book argues, because constitutional changes incentivized the creation of coalitional presidentialism arrangements that bind a wide variety of political forces to the status quo"--

Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group; Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2023.; ©2023, Routledge/City University of Hong Kong Southeast Asian studies. ISBN:9781032075112; 1032075112; 9781032079325; 1032079320
"Presidentialism and Democracy in East and Southeast Asia examines the impact of presidential systems on democracies by examining three distinct literatures - the perilousness of competing legitimacies of the executive and legislative branches, issues of institutional design (particularly regarding semi-presidentialism), and the rise of executive aggrandizement. Despite often intense political conflict and temporary instability in the East and Southeast Asia, presidential systems of various types - from relatively "pure" forms to semi-presidentialism and other hybrids - have largely been resilient. Although there are signs of growing autocratization in several cases, presidentialism, associated with both accommodation and conflict, has usually not driven it. This book's contributions to presidentialism debates will be of interests to students and scholars of comparative politics while it also offers detailed analysis of the presidency in these East and Southeast Asian cases"--

The development of the American presidency / Richard J. Ellis

Richard J. Ellis. The development of the American presidency. Fourth edition, Routledge, 2022. ISBN:9781032070049; 9781032070018
"A full understanding of the institution of the American presidency requires us to examine how it developed from the founding to the present. This developmental lens, analyzing how historical turns have shaped the modern institution, allows for a richer, more nuanced understanding. The Development of the American Presidency pays great attention to that historical weight but is organized by the topics and concepts relevant to political science, with the constitutional origins and political development of the presidency its central focus. Through comprehensive and in-depth coverage, Richard Ellis looks at how the presidency has evolved in relation to the public, to Congress, to the executive branch, and to the law, showing at every step how different aspects of the presidency have followed distinct trajectories of change. Each chapter promotes active learning, beginning with a narrative account of some illustrative puzzle that brings to life a central concept. A wealth of photos, figures, and tables allow for the visual presentations of concepts"--

The informal powers of Western European presidents : a way out of weakness / Selena Grimaldi

Thu, 01 Feb 2024 18:48:37 +0900

Selena Grimaldi. The informal powers of Western European presidents : a way out of weakness. Palgrave Macmillan, [2023], Palgrave studies in presidential politics. ISBN:9783031333293; 3031333292
"Elegantly combining quantitative and qualitative techniques, Grimaldi describes and explains the use of informal activism of presidents in Austria, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, and Portugal. This book offers a unique contribution for our understanding of how constitutionally weak presidents can maximize their influence. Carsten Anckar, Professor of Political Science, bo Akademi University, Finland The book explores how weak presidents directly or indirectly elected can still play a crucial role in the political arena. Weak presidents have been distinguished from strong ones by relying on the evaluation of the powers they display according to the constitution. Six Western European countries are analysed: Germany and Italy which present a consistent constitutional design (as weak presidents are elected indirectly), and Austria, Ireland, Finland and Portugal that present inconsistent constitutional design (as weak presidents are elected directly). In contrast to much of the existing comparative works on presidential powers and activism, the book emphasises the role and the use of informal powers beyond that of formal ones. In particular, a definition and a typology of informal powers are provided as well as an empirical investigation on informal presidential activism. The positive outcome of presidential informal interventions are studied by relying on an interactionist approach which combines presidency-centred as well as president centred-explanations. The book argues that when dealing with informal presidential activism the opportunity structure matters but presidential public support matters even more. Selena Grimaldi is Assistant Professor and teaches Political Science at the Department of Political Science, Communication and International Relations at the University of Macerata, Italy." --

Comprehensive in scope and rooted in the latest scholarship, The American Presidency is the perfect guide for studying the presidency at a time of acute partisan polarization and popular anxiety about the health and well-being of the republic. Focuses on the institutional structures that presidents must navigate, the incentives and opportunities that drive them, and the constraints they routinely confront ; Shows how legislators, judges, bureaucrats, the media, and the broader public shape the contours and limits of presidential power ; Encourages students to view the institutional presidency as not just an object of study, but as a way of thinking about executive politics ; Highlights the lasting effects of important historical moments on the institutional presidency ; Enables students to grapple with enduring themes of power, rules, norms, and organization that undergird democracy"--
