Science Instructors

Because many political science instructors come from another region or state; they feel insufficiently informed in teaching about the state and local government wherein they presently reside. Consequently, instructors generalize about these governments. Yet in many public universities and community colleges, students find the politics in their area pertinent and care less for comparative analysis. In truth, the students probably have a valid point, since the majority will reside in the state where they are attending college.

Largely in response to the urgings of the newly elected Democratic governor of Iowa, Clyde L. Herring, the forty-fifth general assembly early in its session passed the necessary legislation to make possible a survey of state and local government in Iowa by the Brookings Institute for Government Research. The survey was begun early in February, 1933; and by the end of July, it was possible to file the report with the interim committee of the legislature which had the matter in hand. This report was published by the state in January, 1934, as a paper-covered volume of 650 closely printed pages.

Arvien aktuālāki kļūst jautājumi par valsts un pašvaldības institūciju kompetenci sabiedriskās kārtības un drošības garantēšanā publisku pasākumu laikā. Tiesību aizsardzības iestādēm viens no svarīgākajiem uzdevumiem ir sabiedriskās kārtības un drošības garantēšana šo pasākumu norises vietās. Lai arī būtiska loma tās nodrošināšanā ir atvēlēta pašvaldību institūcijām (pašvaldības policija šobrīd ir viens no nozīmīgākajiem Valsts policijas sadarbības partneriem policijas funkciju pildīšanā), praksē novērojamas vairākas problēmas. Pirmkārt, vai valsts un pašvaldības policijas iestādēm ir pietiekami materiāltehniskie un cilvēkresursi, lai garantētu sabiedrisko kārtību liela mēroga (arī paaugstināta riska) publiskos pasākumos? Otrkārt, vai šo iestāžu darbinieki publisku pasākumu laikā izmanto samērīgus tiesiskos līdzekļus, lai vērstos pret sabiedriskās kārtības pārkāpējiem? Issues affecting the state and local government institution competence in public order and security maintaining in public events is becoming increasingly crucial. One of the most important tasks of the law enforcement agencies is guaranteeing public order and security. Although the crucial role in guaranteeing is devoted to local government bodies, where municipal police institute is currently one of the most important partners of the State Police in police powers provision, in practice are turning out a number of problems. First, whether the state and municipal police authorities have sufficient logistical and human resources to ensure public order in large-scale (and sensitive) public events. Second, whether the enforcement officers during public events use proportionate legal means to crack down violators of public order.

In the opinion of the author, doubts are raised as to the manner of determining the scope of the tax and the tax base by relating these elements of the tax to the so-called significant digital presence of the digital sector enterprise in the territory of Poland. The amount of the tax rate (7%) also raises doubts. The introduction of a tax on certain digital services may also be associated with a decrease in income tax revenues of the state and local government budgets.

Subnational Conflict

This chapter explores the problem of rising pastoralist–farmer and ethnic (religious and tribal) violence in the pluralistic Middle Belt region of Nigeria over the past thirty to forty years. In particular, it highlights the underlying issues and conflicts associated with these different categories of communal intergroup violence, the human and material costs of such conflict, and the broader implications for the Nigerian state. The federal government, states, local governments. and communities have not been passive in addressing the considerable challenges associated with preventing and resolving such conflicts. It is clear, however, that they face significant hurdles in resolving the underlying grievances and drivers of conflict, and their efforts have not always furthered the cause of conflict resolution and peacebuilding. Greater attention to patterns of inclusion and exclusion and to the allocation of rights and resources will be necessary, particularly at the state and local government levels, to create a more stable and peaceful Middle Belt.

In 1935, the state of California convicted eight Communist organizers of criminal syndicalism and sent them to prison. This article argues that the Sacramento conspiracy trial of farm labor organizers shows how California growers and their allies in state and local government used the fear of Communism as a cudgel to beat back New Deal challenges to their power. The growers generated a Red Scare to help them maintain their control over workers and wages at a time when they felt threatened by the federal government’s new interest in workers’ rights.

This article is designed to summarize the findings of a questionnaire directed to APSA members who indicated they held government positions when they completed a form for the 1973 APSABiographical Directory. The questionnaire was designed to determine how political science has been and can be used in federal, state, and local government agencies and in administrative, legislative, and judicial positions.A. The Respondents and the QuestionsIn January, 1975, the questionnaire was mailed to the 425 APSA members who held government positions as of 1973. These persons were chosen as a good group of people to ask about the relevance of political science to government work since they are likely to be knowledgeable about both political science and government work, and are likely to be responsive to such a survey.
