American workers are faced with increasing economic insecurity due to corporate downsizings, stagnant wages, shaky employee benefits, and rising income and wealth inequality. While proposed remedies abound--new restrictions on immigration and trade, universal health insurance, penalties against "irresponsible" companies--little agreement has emerged beyond a general sense that any effort to improve prospects for the American workforce must include enhancing their education and training.In search of a specific course of action, the Twentieth Century Fund convened a task force comprising representatives of business, labor, government, and academia. Over the course of the year-long deliberations, the task force identified several government and corporate strategies that could continuously strengthen the skills and knowledge of many workers and enhance the productivity of the American workforce, raising prospects for higher U.S. corporate profitability and economic growth.The task force was chaired by former New Jersey governor Jim Florio. The volume includes a background paper, "Economic Change and the American Worker," written by Carl. E. Van Horn, professor of public policy at the Eagleton Institute at Rutgers University and executive director of the task force.

Break with convention - An original look at policymaking Policymaking is a messy business. It entails more than the traditional policy cycle discussed in most textbooks. And it involves more than presidents and members of Congress. 
Judges, bureaucrats, corporate leaders, journalists, and voters all influence and participate in the process, and at all levels of government. Each group practices a different kind of politics, which very often results in different policies and outcomes. By looking at six distinct, yet connected, policy domains, your students will see a more comprehensive and realistic view of policymaking: 
Boardroom Politics - decisions by professional and business leaders Bureaucratic Politics - rule-making and adjudication by administrators Cloakroom Politics - lawmaking by legislators Chief Executive Politics - decision making by presidents, governors, mayors, and their advisers Courtroom Politics - rulings by judges Living Room Politics - opinions expressed by and through the mass media, grassroots movements, political activists, and voters 
Policymakers are faced with tough choices. With this text, students are better prepared to evaluate their leaders' performance given the book'ss unique framework linking how policies are chosen with what policy is chosen. 
Thoroughly updated to reflect the issues of the early 21st century, this new edition also incorporates new and important scholarship.

<li>Boardroom Politics (decisions by business leaders and professionals);</li> <li>Bureaucratic Politics (rule-making and adjudication by administrators);</li> <li>Cloakroom Politics (lawmaking by legislators);</li> <li>Chief Executive Politics (decision making by presidents, governors, mayors, and their advisers);</li> <li>Courtroom Politics (rulings by judges); and</li> <li>Living Room Politics (opinions expressed through the mass media, grassroots movements, political activists, and voters).</li> </ul>
The authors’ unique framework prepares students to evaluate the strategies of various political actors within each domain.
