Goals and Policy Initiation

 FOR THURSDAY, READ DOWNS, "THE ISSUE-ATTENTION CYCLE."

Framing:

  

Equity and Equalities (Stone, ch. 2)

• Opportunity and result (See LBJ 1965 at Howard University, at 0.40).
• Economic background v. demographic background
• Membership and noncitizens
• Merit and a very current example
• Arithmetic equality and equal satisfaction of need
• THE DILEMMA OF DIFFERENCE (Martha Minow's book on the topic)

EFFICIENCY:  AT WHAT?  FOR WHOM?

WELFARE AND NEED

• Maslow
• Relative and Absolute
• Quality of Life Measures, disability and terminal illness

LIBERTY AND SECURITY

IS RICHER SAFER?

SO HOW DO ISSUES ENTER THE AGENDA?
