Brown-bag Lunch Conversation: "Inequality and Urban Governance"
When: Friday May 8, 2015 at 12-1:30 pm
Location: UCENT 705

Recent events in Baltimore have pressed questions of race, inequality, and the governance of urban America into the national consciousness--again. These events also press questions about the role that institutions like schools of public affairs have--or should have--in contributing to the development of policy and governance strategies that address the important social, political, economic, and organizational challenges that the situation in Baltimore, Ferguson, and around the US raise. We invite members of the ASU School of Public Affairs community to an informal

Tuesdays 6:00-5:45pm, Downtown Phoenix Campus

How do political, social, cultural and economic institutions interact with one another? How have these interactions varied over time, and across different societies and cultures? What role do gender, class, and race play in shaping these dynamics? What are the prevailing and alternative theories that help to make sense of these issues and what are the practical and institutional consequences of the theoretical lens we choose? Which lenses best help us to understand the challenges of poverty, economic development, and social justice? These are some of the

Good morning,
I would like to share with all of you the true reason behind TicketsBite LLC. Thank you for taking the time to read my email and visiting the website. http://www.ticketsbite.com

The real reason I started this company was to level the playing field between the average driver and the government entity issuing the ticket. Too often a safe driver makes a mistake, receives a ticket and is placed in a difficult financial situation. Even with the economy struggling, traffic ticket fines aren’t lowered, in fact, fines continue to increase. There is no understanding from the government to realize

Good morning fellow ASU alumni, students and staff,

I recently came across a unique idea, and it started with getting a red light ticket. After mistakenly running a red light with a camera, something everyone in Arizona is quite familiar with, I received a very expensive ticket in the mail. The ticket was for 375$. Well, being a fairly new graduate, I'm still not making great money, so I was trying to figure out how to pay for it. Long story short, I thought about an insurance company specifically for traffic tickets. Fortunately, I teamed up with another ASU alumni

What Comes After the Computer Chip?
Craig R. Barrett & Michael M. Crow

Intel co-founder Gordon Moore famously wrote about how the number of transistors on silicon chips would double roughly every two years--an observation now known as Moore's Law. But even as Intel pushes into nanotechnology, computing is now reaching the limits of that law. Experts say that once circuitry shrinks to seven nanometers, quantum effects will take over--and it won't be possible to get any smaller with silicon chips. So computer scientists are facing the question: what will come next? No one

Take a look at The Dirksen Center's Congressional Timeline 2.0!
http://www.congressionaltimeline.org

In October 2010, we announced the first version of The Dirksen Center's new
Congressional Timeline. At that time we introduced more than 200 examples of
major laws passed by Congress from 1933 to the present. As with any new
website, our first version had some bugs to work out. So considering our users'
feedback and taking a hard look at our first version, we have done our best to
improve the timeline by creating the Congressional Timeline 2.0.

What Organization Theorists and Public Policy Researchers Can Learn from One Another: Publicness Theory as a Case in-Point
Abstract: I argue that organization theory and public policy studies, two field that share
many common origins, have had surprisingly little cross-fertilization and that

costs and the foregone opportunities resulting from this mutual intellectual
disregard, (2) presents an illustrative case to show the possibility of crossfertilizing
public policy and organization studies

Hello,

My name is Claudia Montesano and I am currently in the MPP program with
an interest in education policy. I was speaking to Daniel Schugurensky,
professor in the College of Public Programs, and he said that if we
could generate enough interest they would create an education policy
class as an elective. I know from experience in my classes that a lot of
people are interested in education. If you would be interested in this
class please let me know and hopefully we can get enough people together
to make it happen.

Institutions, Governance, and Cooperative Economic Development Networks Among City Administrators

Abstract: How are local governments able to collaborate with each other in competitive policy arenas like economic development? How do local administrators choose collaborative partners? I begin to answer these questions by examining local officials' efforts to overcome collective action dilemmas by structuring network relationships to efficiently collect and process information, or to enhance credible commitment. I also investigate how similarities and differences among local governments affect their network relationships and differences

Abstract: Emerging technologies are transforming public agencies and the nature of governance. Public Agencies have long recognized the value of information technologies for achieving their missions, streamlining operations, and communicating with the public. Yet, the track record of public sector information systems (IS) projects - system acquisitions, design and deployment - has been sub-par. I contend that one possible reason is their dual personality.

The Separation of Powers' Ratchet and U.S. Federal Administration

Abstract: U.S. public administrative theory and practice focus on managerial, political, and legal functions related to the Constitution's partial separation of executive, legislative, and judicial powers. Since 1946, Congress and the federal courts have developed institutionalized frameworks for exercising "joint custody" of federal administration along with the president. The congressional framework emphasizes democratic governance values such as transparency, stakeholder representation, participatory administrative rulemaking, and overall responsiveness to the public. The judicial framework promotes constitutional

It combines a deep skepticism about the reliability of democratic institutions with a naive faith in the capacity to effect significant systemic change through statutory or constitutional reform.

Abstract: The effect of an income tax on people's choice of residencies is difficult to measure and often muddled within empirical literature; theory suggests that high income workers will migrate out of high tax areas and be replaced by low income workers. Using military residency data from 1998 to 2005 across all 50 states, I find that service members are more likely to claim their legal residency in a state with favorable income tax policies.
