Beginning in 1839 and continuing through the early twentieth century, the American states passed laws expanding married women's economic rights, including the right to own property and sign contracts. In almost every state, these significant legal changes took place before women had the right to vote. I argue that married women's economic rights reform is best understood as a piecemeal, iterative process in which multiple state-level institutions interacted over time. This rights expansion often occurred as a by-product of male political actors pursuing issues largely unrelated to gender—such as debt relief and commercial development—combined with paternalistic views of women as needing protection from the state. State courts played a crucial role by making evident the contradictions inherent in vague and inconsistent legal reforms. Ultimately, male political actors liberalized married women's economic rights to the extent that they thought it was necessary to allow for the development of efficient and workable property rights in a commercial economy, leaving women's place in the economy partially but not fully liberalized.
从1839年开始,一直持续到20世纪初,美国各州通过了扩大已婚妇女经济权利的法律,包括拥有财产和签订合同的权利。几乎在每个州,这些重大的法律变化都发生在女性拥有投票权之前。我认为,已婚妇女的经济权利改革最好被理解为一个零碎的、迭代的过程,在这个过程中,多个国家级机构随着时间的推移而相互作用。这种权利扩张往往是男性政治行为者追求与性别基本无关的问题(如债务减免和商业发展)的副产品,再加上家长式的女性需要国家保护的观点。国家法院发挥了至关重要的作用,明确了模糊和不一致的法律改革所固有的矛盾。最终,男性政治行动者将已婚妇女的经济权利自由化到他们认为有必要在商业经济中发展有效和可行的产权的程度,使妇女在经济中的地位部分但没有完全自由化。

As economic inequalities have skyrocketed in the United States, scholars have started paying more attention to the individual political activities of billionaires and multimillionaires. Useful as such work may be, it misses an important aspect of plutocratic influence: the sustained efforts of organized groups and networks of political mega-donors, who work together over many years between as well as during elections to reshape politics. Our work contributes to this new direction by focusing on two formally organized consortia of wealthy donors that have recently evolved into highly consequential forces in U.S. politics. We develop this concept and illustrate the importance of organized donor consortia by presenting original data and analyses of the right-wing Koch seminars (from 2003 to the present) and the progressive left-leaning Democracy Alliance (from 2005 to the present). We describe the evolution, memberships, and organizational routines of these two wealthy donor collectives, and explore the ways in which each has sought to reconfigure and bolster kindred arrays of think tanks, advocacy groups, and constituency efforts operating at the edges of America's two major political parties in a period of intensifying ideological polarization and growing conflict over the role of government in addressing rising economic inequality. Our analysis argues that the rules and organizational characteristics of donor consortia shape their resource allocations and impact, above and beyond the individual characteristics of their wealthy members.
随着美国经济不平等现象的加剧,学者们开始更多地关注亿万富翁和千万富翁的个人政治活动。尽管这项工作可能很有用,但它忽略了财阀影响力的一个重要方面:有组织的团体和政治超级捐助者网络的持续努力,他们在选举之间以及选举期间多年来共同努力重塑政治。我们的工作通过关注两个由富有捐赠者组成的正式组织的财团,为这一新方向做出了贡献,这两个财团最近已演变成美国政治中的重要力量。我们提出了这一概念,并通过提供右翼科赫研讨会(2003年至今)和进步左翼民主联盟(2005年至今)的原始数据和分析,说明了有组织的捐助者联盟的重要性。我们描述了这两个富有的捐助集体的演变、成员资格和组织惯例,并探讨了各自寻求重新配置和支持智库、倡导团体、,以及在意识形态两极分化加剧、围绕政府在解决日益加剧的经济不平等问题上的作用的冲突日益加剧的时期,在美国两大政党的边缘进行的选民努力。我们的分析认为,捐助财团的规则和组织特征决定了其资源分配和影响,超越了其富裕成员的个人特征。

Pockets of Weakness in Strong Institutions: Post-Marketing Regulation, Psychopharmaceutical Drugs, and Medical Autonomy, 1938–1982 强大机构中的弱点:上市后监管、精神药物和医疗自主,1938-1982

A central question in the study of health politics and policy is the degree to which the state can shape American medicine. This long-standing debate began amid early battles over health insurance and continues through the contemporary opioid epidemic. Unlike recent and post–Affordable Care Act claims emphasizing the federal government's strong ability to intervene in healthcare marketplaces, this article supports claims of medicine's autonomy from political intervention, drawing on an extensive analysis of recurrent, halting, and largely unsuccessful efforts to regulate popular psychopharmaceutical drugs from the 1940s through the 1980s. I first develop an account of a “pocket of weakness,” the post-marketing pharmaceutical regulatory process, in an otherwise strong institution, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). I then demonstrate how this regulatory structure, interacting with policymakers’ incentives, caused constrained responses, inaction, and drift. Amid concerns about misuse, overuse, abuse, side effects, and addiction, regulators and legislators found it difficult to restrict access to or disincentivize the prescription and consumption of problematic therapeutics, in spite of their varied and repeated regulatory efforts. This elaboration of a pocket of weakness has important theoretical implications for historical institutionalist scholarship that principally focuses on state strength. This account also has substantive implications for scholarship on health politics and policy, mental health treatment, and the political causes of medicalization, and can help explain the opioid epidemic's emergence, potential trajectory, and circumscribed solution set.
健康政治和政策研究的一个核心问题是国家在多大程度上可以塑造美国医学。这场旷日持久的辩论始于早期关于医疗保险的斗争,并一直持续到当代阿片类药物的流行。与最近和后《平价医疗法案》强调联邦政府干预医疗保健市场的强大能力不同,这篇文章支持医学从政治干预中自主的主张,对20世纪40年代至80年代监管流行精神药物的反复、停滞和基本上不成功的努力进行了广泛分析。我首先在一个强大的机构,美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA),对“弱点”,即上市后的药品监管过程进行了描述。然后,我展示了这种监管结构如何与政策制定者的激励措施相互作用,导致反应受限、无所作为和漂移。在对滥用、过度使用、滥用、副作用和成瘾的担忧中,监管机构和立法者发现,尽管他们做出了各种各样和反复的监管努力,但很难限制获得或抑制有问题的治疗方法的处方和消费。这种对弱点的阐述对主要关注国家实力的历史制度主义学术具有重要的理论意义。这一描述也对健康政治和政策、心理健康治疗以及医学化的政治原因等方面的学术研究具有实质性意义,并有助于解释阿片类药物流行的出现、潜在轨迹和限定的解决方案集。

Sunbelt Capitalism, Civil Rights, and the Development of Carceral Policy in North Carolina, 1954–1970 1954–1970年北卡罗来纳州阳光地带资本主义、民权与殡葬政策的发展

This article investigates an important yet poorly understood aspect of the origins of the U.S. carceral state. Many explanations attribute the rise of mass incarceration to the conservative tide in American politics beginning in the late 1960s: “tough on crime” policies advanced by southern Democrats and Republicans, white backlash against black civil rights, and the law-and-order politics of Nixon's “Southern Strategy.” But in focusing on conservatives, prevailing theories have ignored how the changing economic and political landscape of the post-WWII South shaped how policymakers thought about crime. This article examines how key elements of the carceral state emerged in the rapidly growing, metropolitan, and business-minded Sunbelt South between 1954 and 1970, using North Carolina as a test case. Drawing on a variety of archival sources, it unearths how moderate southern politicians with material links to extra-regional sources of capital, political links to northern liberal elites, and ideological links to postwar liberalism pioneered state-level carceral policy. It argues that the swift development of crime policy in midcentury North Carolina was the product of how the state's moderate elites chose to govern the emerging Sunbelt economy in the wake of Brown v. Board of Education and the civil rights movement. The problems of rampant civil disorder, racial extremism, and lawlessness, they argued, threatened the economic progress of North Carolina and required the implementation of strong yet race-neutral crime policy. This study offers an analysis of how the Sunbelt South, in shedding Jim Crow and entering the national political and economic mainstream, came to help spearhead the carceral turn in American politics.
这篇文章调查了美国尸体国家起源的一个重要但鲜为人知的方面。许多解释将大规模监禁的兴起归因于20世纪60年代末开始的美国政治中的保守潮流:南方民主党和共和党提出的“严厉打击犯罪”政策、白人对黑人民权的强烈反对,以及尼克松“南方战略”的法律和秩序政治,主流理论忽视了二战后南方不断变化的经济和政治格局如何影响决策者对犯罪的看法。本文以北卡罗来纳州为测试案例,研究了1954年至1970年间,尸体州的关键元素是如何在快速发展、大都市化和商业化的南部阳光地带出现的。根据各种档案来源,它揭示了温和派南方政客是如何与地区外资本来源有物质联系、与北方自由主义精英有政治联系、与战后自由主义有意识形态联系,从而开创了州级死刑政策的。它认为,本世纪中叶北卡罗来纳州犯罪政策的迅速发展是该州温和派精英在布朗诉教育委员会和民权运动之后选择治理新兴的阳光地带经济的产物。他们认为,猖獗的内乱、种族极端主义和无法无天的问题威胁着北卡罗来纳州的经济进步,需要实施强有力但不分种族的犯罪政策。这项研究分析了南方阳光地带在摆脱吉姆·克劳并进入国家政治和经济主流的过程中,是如何帮助引领美国政治的致命转折的。

The Deinstitutionalization (?) of the House of Representatives: Reflections on Nelson Polsby's “The Institutionalization of the U.S. House of Representatives” at Fifty 众议院的去机构化(?):对纳尔逊·波尔斯比《美国众议院的机构化》五十周年的反思

This article revisits Nelson Polsby's classic article “The Institutionalization of the U.S. House of Representatives” fifty years after its publication, to examine whether the empirical trends that Polsby identified have continued. This empirical exploration allows us to place Polsby's findings in broader historical context and to assess whether the House has continued along the “institutionalization course”—using metrics that quantify the degree to which the House has erected impermeable boundaries with other institutions, created a complex institution, and adopted universalistic decision-making criteria. We empirically document that careerism plateaued right at the point Polsby wrote “Institutionalization,” and that the extension of the careerism trend has affected Democrats more than Republicans. The House remains complex, but lateral movement between the committee and party leadership systems began to reestablish itself a decade after “Institutionalization” was published. Finally, the seniority system as a mechanism for selecting committee chairs—the primary measure of universalistic decision-making criteria—has been almost thoroughly demolished. Thus, most of the trends Polsby identified have moderated, but have not been overturned. We conclude by considering the larger set of interpretive issues that our empirical investigation poses.
本文回顾了Nelson Polsby出版50年后的经典文章《美国众议院的制度化》,以检验Polsby所确定的经验趋势是否持续。这种实证探索使我们能够将波尔斯比的发现放在更广泛的历史背景下,并评估众议院是否继续沿着“制度化进程”前进——使用量化众议院与其他机构建立不可渗透的边界、创建复杂机构和采用普世决策标准的程度的指标。我们从经验上记录了,在波尔斯比写《制度化》的时候,野心主义就停滞不前了,而且野心主义趋势的延伸对民主党人的影响比共和党人更大。众议院仍然很复杂,但在《制度化》出版十年后,委员会和政党领导系统之间的横向运动开始重建。最后,作为选拔委员会主席机制的资历制度——普遍决策标准的主要衡量标准——几乎被彻底废除了。因此,波尔斯比确定的大多数趋势都有所缓和,但并未被推翻。最后,我们考虑了我们的实证调查提出的一系列更大的解释问题。

The Failed Diffusion of the Unicameral State Legislature, 1934–1944 一院制州立法的失败扩散,1934-1944

The early twentieth-century witnessed numerous efforts to reform state government institutions, resulting in the widespread adoption of such reforms as the direct primary and citizen initiative. By contrast, efforts to establish unicameral state legislatures experienced success in just one state: Nebraska. In this article, I examine why movements to adopt one-house legislatures in other states failed in the wake of the Nebraska breakthrough of 1934. Using a most-similar case study research design, I compare the successful Nebraska effort to unsuccessful subsequent efforts in Ohio and Missouri, and I point to rural opposition as being the decisive factor explaining divergent outcomes across the three states. In Nebraska, the lack of malapportionment in the bicameral legislature meant that rural communities did not fear that unicameralism would lead to their diminished influence in state government, but in Ohio and Missouri (where malapportionment was high) rural communities used their structural advantages in state politics to shut down unicameralism efforts. The article's findings suggest that the bicameral state legislature is an important institutional legacy of the bygone era of rural dominance in American politics.
二十世纪初,人们为改革州政府机构做出了许多努力,导致这种改革作为直接初级和公民倡议被广泛采用。相比之下,建立一院制州立法机构的努力只在一个州取得了成功:内布拉斯加州。在这篇文章中,我研究了为什么在1934年内布拉斯加州取得突破之后,其他州采用一院制立法机构的运动失败了。使用最相似的案例研究设计,我将内布拉斯加州的成功努力与俄亥俄州和密苏里州随后不成功的努力进行了比较,我指出农村的反对是解释三个州不同结果的决定性因素。在内布拉斯加州,两院制立法机构没有分配不当,这意味着农村社区并不担心一院制会导致他们在州政府中的影响力减弱,但在俄亥俄州和密苏里州(分配不当现象严重),农村社区利用他们在州政治中的结构性优势,阻止了一院制的努力。这篇文章的研究结果表明,两院制的州立法机构是过去农村主导美国政治时代的重要制度遗产。

In Nebraska, the lack of malapportionment in the bicameral legislature meant that rural communities did not fear that unicameralism would lead to their diminished influence in state government, but in Ohio and Missouri (where malapportionment was high) rural communities used their structural advantages in state politics to shut down unicameralism efforts. The article's findings suggest that the bicameral state legislature is an important institutional legacy of the bygone era of rural dominance in American politics.","PeriodicalId":45195,"journal":{"name":"Studies in American Political Development","volume":"32 1","pages":"217 - 235"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2018-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/S0898588X18000135","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45541662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Throughout U.S. history, the two major political parties have switched positions many times on a variety of issues, including how powerful the national government should be and how much it should regulate and guide the American economy. Are these changes simply the product of historical contingency, or are there structural factors at work that can help explain these developments? This article finds that change in party control of government can help explain change in party ideologies with respect to economic policy. Parties in long-term control of unified government tend to develop their ideology in ways that call for a stronger national government and more economic intervention, while parties in opposition tend to change their ideology in ways that call for less national government power and less economic intervention.
纵观美国历史,两大政党在各种问题上多次交换立场,包括国家政府应该有多大的权力,以及它应该在多大程度上监管和指导美国经济。这些变化仅仅是历史偶然性的产物,还是有结构性因素在起作用,可以帮助解释这些发展?本文发现党对政府控制的变化可以帮助解释党在经济政策方面意识形态的变化。长期控制统一政府的政党倾向于将其意识形态发展为要求更强大的国家政府和更多的经济干预,而反对党倾向于将其意识形态转变为要求减少国家政府权力和减少经济干预。
