Congressional Budgeting: A Representational Perspective $110.68 In Congressional Budgeting, Patrick Fisher analyzes the problems inherent in the congressional budget process, and studies why congress makes the budgetary decisions that it does. In their desire to limit the tyranny of the majority, the framers of the Constitution designed a legislature that would be constrained and deliberate. While the institutional structure of Congress (i.e. bicameralism and the committee system) and American government in general (i.e. separation of powers) make the budget process more difficult, it does not make producing a sensible budget impossible. Fisher argues that it is the representational nature of Congress that makes budgeting such a flawed process. Budgeting requires Congress to compromise parochial interests for the well being of the entire nation, focusing on macrolevel budget decisions. It is the parochial nature of congressional budgeting that is key to understanding the predicament Congress confronts when budgeting.

Budgeting and Organizational Culture $116.3 Recently, public higher education institutions have increasingly turned their attention to incentive based budgeting models as internal resource allocation models. However, these models have been criticized for bringing market forces, competitiveness, and businesslike perceptions into the higher education environment. In recent years, the literature on incentive budgeting systems has grown; mostly, through institutional case studies. However, most of these studies focused on the formal structures and on the financial outcomes. The literature lacks any exploration of the effects that such changes have on an organizations culture. However, incentive based budgeting systems involve more than simply formulas. They also bring a new frame of mind into higher education organizations. Decentralization of the decisionmaking process is one such change that is attached to incentive based budgeting systems. Thus, incentive based budgeting models affect the whole institution, its formal and informal structures as well as its culture. This study focuses on responsibility center management (RCM) and its perceived effects on the culture of decisionmaking at a higher education institution.

Politics of Wales $92.4 Politics in Wales forms a distinctive polity in the wider politics of the United Kingdom, with Wales as one of the four constituent parts of the United Kingdom. Constitutionally, the United Kingdom is de jure a unitary state with one sovereign parliament and government. However, under a system of devolution (or home rule) adopted in the late 1990s three of the four constituent parts of the United Kingdom, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, voted for limited selfgovernment, subject to the ability of the UK Parliament in Westminster, nominally at will, to amend, change, broaden or abolish the national governmental systems. As such the National Assembly of Wales (Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru) is not de jure sovereign. Executive power in the United Kingdom is vested in the QueeninCouncil, while legislative power is vested in the QueeninParliament (the Crown and the Parliament of the United Kingdom at Westminster in London). The Government of Wales Act 1998 established devolution in Wales, and certain executive and legislative powers have been constitutionally delegated to the National Assembly for Wales.

Poststructuralism and the Politics of Method $109.01 Since the time of Plato, political philosophy has attempted to create a secure basis upon which to build the prescriptive claims for political action. However, if knowledge is a human construction, not the discovery of some essential reality, is it possible to support collective acts by reference to such foundational claims? If not, we must rethink our understanding society, politics, and the exercise of power. Beginning with the premise that our knowledge of political and social life is historical and contingent, Andrew Koch seeks to reconceptualize our understanding of politics and power. Koch moves the discussions of power and politics away from search for foundational truths. Viewing politics and power through an epistemological lens, he explores what our understanding of politics and power looks like in the wake of deconstruction and genealogy. Koch begins with a general overview of the poststructuralist epistemology. From there the work contrasts this position with the interpretive sociology of Max Weber, uses deconstruction to politicize the work of Niklas Luhmann, and explores the implications of deconstruction for democracy, Marxist theory, institutional power, and anarchist politics.
