A government is an institution entrusted with making and enforcing the rules of a society as well as with regulating relations with other societies. In order to be considered a government, a ruling body must be recognized as such by the people it purports to govern. A person or group that considers itself the leading body of a society has no power if the members of the society do not recognize the person or group as such.
The Philippine judicial and legal system, including its legal education system, blends elements of civil law inherited from the Spaniards and American common law. For instance, civil code procedures on family and property matters, among others, and the absence of jury trials are attributable to the Spanish civil law influences. However, most of the more significant laws governing trade and commerce, taxation, labor relations, and governmental operations, as well as the principle of judicial precedents are an American derivation. In the hierarchy of laws, the Constitution has the highest legal force, followed by domestic statutes. In addition, generally accepted principles of international law and judicial precedents (i.e., decisions of the Supreme Court) also form part of the laws of the land.

Managing Human Capital in the Public and Nonprofit Sectors

People as Human Capital
Personnel administration, or personnel management, is the planning and policymaking for, and managing of, employees, and is
limited to “internal” processes, such as compensation.
During the 1980s, a more modern view emerged: human resource management, which expands the field by
including “external” processes, such as professional development.
Currently, human capital management views employees as valuable assets that can be further enriched through greater investment, and
aligns human capital policies with the organization’s mission.
Personnel-lists, or professionals and specialists in the field, often use these terms interchangeably, as do we., the most commonly used initials “HR” designates all three titles.
Nevertheless, they do have differences:
each successive title represents a broader concept that places an increasing emphasis on the worth of employees.

Over five consecutive years, the percentage of undergraduates who planned to work for the federal, state, or local government “immediately after graduation” declined by nearly half:
Local governments, however, exert a particular pull;

Barely half of students in masters of public administration (MPA) and similar programs express interest in being employed by government, and, at the twenty top programs, not even half are.
More generally, white people, Republicans, and those who never served in the military are overrepresented among those Americans who spurn working for government.
An astonishing 56 percent of corporate and nonprofit managers are not or “not at all” interested in working for the federal government, and only

Overview Chapter 1Political Thinking and Political Culture B.docxalfred4lewis58146
Overview: Chapter 1
Political Thinking and Political Culture: Becoming a Responsible Citizen
Chapter Goals
The chapter addresses the following goals:
· Describe the importance of political thinking in a democracy and the current barriers to political thinking among the public.
· Describe the discipline of political science and how it can contribute to political thinking.
· Explain the nature of politics in the U.S. and how it is a struggle for power among competing groups and interests.
· Discuss America’s cultural ideals of liberty, individualism, equality and self-government and how they have affected some public issues like taxation or social welfare policy.
· Discuss the major rules of American politics: democracy, constitutionalism, and the free market system, and why rules are necessary in politics.
· Explain differing theories of political power, including majoritarianism, pluralism, corporate power, and elitism, and how they may undercut the ideals of democracy in the U.S.
· Discuss the nature of the free market system in the U.S. and how it compares to European and other economic systems.
Focus and Main Points
Contemporary American government is placed in historical perspective in this chapter. The value of political science in examining the development of American politics since the country’s earliest years is examined briefly, and concepts such as power, pluralism, and constitutionalism that are central to the study of government and politics are also assessed. In addition, the value of political thinking and the ability of political science to help develop political thinking are discussed. Several comparisons between the cultural development of political institutions and financial systems of the United States and Europe are made to help illustrate the different forms of government and economic organization.
The main points of this chapter are as follows:
· The development of political thinking is important for functioning democracies, which rely on the informed choices of citizens for the formation of government. There are powerful barriers to political thinking, such as individual unwillingness to develop it, changing patterns of media consumption, and “spin” by political leaders. Political science is a discipline that can help develop political thinking among students and also lead to a fuller understanding of political phenomena.
· Every country has a distinctive political culture, a widely shared and deep-seated belief system. National identity in many countries is taken from the common ancestry and kinship they share. Americans are linked not by a shared ancestry but by the country’s political culture as the foundation of its national identity.
· Politics is the process through which a society settles its conflicts. Those who win, in political conflict, are said to have power, and those leaders that have gained the legitimacy to use that power have authority. The play of politics in the United States takes place in the con.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
2. INTRODUCTION
In the United States the relationship between public administration and society has
been an uneasy one. Through their history American have tried to pretend that the
country could operate without public administrators. The United States constitution
describes a limited government – one that has only those powers specifically assigned
to it.
3. INTRODUCTION
Stillman sees the root of the uneasy
relationship in the founders’ distaste for a
strong executive, enthusiasm for republicanism
and belief that the machinery of the
government could run on its own without the
assistance of the administrative state. He
described the early history of the United States
as a ‘Stateless’ condition.
RICHARD STILLMAN II
In international law, statelessness is the lack of
citizenship. A stateless person is someone who is "not
considered as a national by any state under the operation
of its law". Some stateless persons are also refugees.
4. Skowronek’s characterization of the
same period is, perhaps, more generous;
in his view there was a ‘sense of
statelessness’ that affected the ‘peculiar
way state power was organized’.
Stephen Skowronek
5. Milward’s examination of the way in which
late twentieth century America was creating
more and more complex approaches to
governance in which ‘involvement by the
state is indirect and extremely limited’, led
him to coin the phrase “Hollow State”.
Brinton H. Milward
Hollow State is used to describe a set of governmental
practices in which states contract with third parties (private
companies) in order to distribute government services. ...
Contracts are managed by countless agencies and even
more providers, there is no means of central record
keeping or data management.
7. an agreement
among the 13
original states of the
United States of
America that served
as its first
constitution. ...
The Articles of
Confederation cam
e into force on
March 1, 1781, after
being ratified by all
13 states.
The government founded on the 1789
constitution was designed in response to
the failures of the Articles of Confederation
and represented recognition of the need to
strengthen the federal government to better
address the needs of the nation.
Among their major positions was a belief
that governance is best left to society’s elite,
the Gentlemen.
Might be Noble people,
political family, riches?
9. Trusting the gentlemen to do their duty
toward society, they favored delegation of
authority and administrative discretion, but
they also thought that officials were to be
held responsible for doing their jobs
conscientiously
– under skilled administrators.
Gentlemen
11. Republican Party disappeared as its factions split
into the Whigs and the Jackson Democrats. Jackson
won the election of 1828.
- He removed the gentlemen stranglehold and
open opportunities to participate in governance
to other white males.
- It extends the views of men, trains them to the
performance of justice, and makes them act for
others as well as for themselves.
- The Jacksonians fully supported ‘state
governments as the principal public agency of the
American people but the trend still moved toward
enhancement of the federal government’s
importance in people’s lives.
Andrew Jackson
7th US President
13. The war between the States punctuated the
trend, definitively settling any question about
whether the United States was one nation.
According to White there were two major
developments during the republic era (1869-
1901):
(1) the rise in power of the President in
comparison to the Congress,
(2) (2) and the beginning of professional public
administration marked by the achievement
of civil service reform in 1883.
The Civil War 1861-1865
14. Civil service reform in this era represented a rejection
of some Jacksonian principles, but to be successful as
a challenge to patronage and rotation in office, civil
service reform had to be presented as democratic – as
a way for a common man to participate in governance.
- Qualifications based on merit rather that elite
management in public business
- Merit’s new values was derived from business –
economy, efficiency and the ability to deal with the
increasingly complex affairs of an industrial and
urban society
- The promotion of a ‘businesslike’ government may
have been the most lasting impact of the Republican
era on public administration.
16. The modern administrative state sought to
separate the functions of expressing the will of
the state and executing it. Instead of relying on
partisan political connections to determine
administrative questions, this administrative
state was designed to utilize science and
rationally to pursue economy and efficiency,
and top-down hierarchy to ensure rationality,
economy, and efficiency.
17. Richard Stillman has identified seven key features of the modern American
Administrative States:
1. Unelected experts who
2. Work within formal hierarchical organization, using
3. Impersonal rules and procedures, to implement
4. Important governmental functions, often using
5. Networks of non-profit or for-profit, in ways that are dependent upon
6. Soft technologies such as managerial competence and rational analysis and
7. Hard technologies such as typewriters, computers, and paper
documentation.
- Obviously, a key element of that administrative state was the civil service
system. With it came political neutrality, tenure in office, and merit-based
selection, promotion, and remuneration.
Impact:
• Diminished the localized power of
political parties
• Nationwide federal service
appointment system
• Increased the potential of the
president to established a national
political constituency
• Administrative state become vital for
stability in governmental operations
• Vital for the health of the economy
19. The era was driven by two impulses
1. Toward order and rationality
2. Social justice – both genders played a role in
constructive the administrative state and the field
of public administration
National Academy of Public Administration
Camilla M. Stivers
20. Rosenbloom (2001) has also identified of the modern
American Administrative State that has been overlooked.
He calls it “legislative-centered public administration.”
congress rejected the model of executive-leadership and
that is why it is necessary to established the Executive
office of the President through EO No. 8248. passing
four important statutes in 1946 (including the
Administrative procedures Act), congress established it
model of modern American administrative state a model
in which administrative agencies are expected to honor
democratic-constitutional values not found in the
businessification approach- values like
representativeness, participation, openness, responsive,
procedural safeguards, and public accountability.
H. David Rosenbloom
21. Another model of the modern administrative state is
offered by Charles Lindblom. He describes his as a model
of the relationship between the state and the market
system, but here the market system is the major
administrative instrument of the state.
• Managing money and credit
• Subsidizing market activities
• Research and development
• And regulating international trade
It is also a direct participant in the market, as buyer and
seller. In some instances the state is a price setter, setting
minimum and/or maximum prices for some goods and
services and affecting prices through tariff.
Charles E. Lindblom
22. AND SO…
Over the past 200 years, the tension between self-governance and public
administration in the United States has constantly been in evidence. Whether the
United States is truly stateless or merely something of a hollow state, it certainly has
uniquely evolving administrative state. Only time will tell whether Stillman was correct
when he concluded that the US version of the administrative state may be the most
enduring and powerful variety.
