Each branch of American government possesses inherent advantages and disadvantages in structure. In this book, the author relies on a separation-of-powers analysis that emphasizes the advantage of the legislature to draft precise words to fit intended situations, the judiciary?s advantage of being able to do justice in an individual case, and the executive?s homogeneity and flexibility, which best suits it to decisions of an ad hoc nature. Identifying these structural abilities, the author analyzes major public policy issues, including gun control, flag burning, abortion, civil rights, war pow

Why are women so dramatically underrepresented in formal leadership positions—and what can be done to improve the situation? This unique collection takes up these questions in the crucial practical concepts of law, politics, and business—the arenas in which women’s leadership has the most public influence. Bridging the worlds of theory and practice, the essays in this collection bring new insights to long-standing questions about the difference gender difference makes, both in access to leadership and in its exercise.

Polygraph 18: Biopolitics, Narrative, Temporality This issue of Polygraph takes up the recent theories of Foucault, Deleuze, Agamben, and Hardt & Negri about the contemporary reformation of political forces around the issue of life.

Polygraph 18: Biopolitics, Narrative, Temporality features work exploring the politics of life today by examining the constructions of temporality within narrative artic
