Study Approach

Stanley Levy and Charles Kozoll capture much of the complexity of decisionmaking and offer an important contribution to our understanding of this perplexing topic. The publication of A Guide to Decision Making in Student Affairs: A Case Study Approach, furthermore, is timely due to what Stage (1993) recognizes as an increasing expectation that "new professionals, even at the lowest levels, have the ability to work independently and solve complex issues knowledgeably and with skill and integrity" (p. iii). The case study approach combined with the expert advice of 15 seasoned student affairs deans (called informants) provides a valuable resource for learning about a central task in our profession. The book offers students as well as experienced professionals background information critical to decisionmaking in higher education, exploration of fundamental issues that influence the process, carefully constructed and relevant case studies, and a reservoir of advice from some of the most well respected senior-level practitioners in our field. This book is particularly valuable to faculty members facilitating learning with new professionals, but it is a resource most student affairs professionals would find well worth owning.

Conceptual Relationship

This study describes the process of enculturation anti-corruption where its dynamic has change to a legitimation of should punish the defendant. With ethnographic case study approach, the study focused on how judges interpret the criminal acts of corruption and how to respond to legitimate to punish the defendant in the context of decision-making. The results showed that the judges react in two ways of reasonings, first, they interpret it as an intervention or intimidation that threatens self-identity. Second, open records his experience of corruption and political relations, or not as transparent as other cases. Technically, the conceptual relationship between the two reasoning is a psycho-cultural cognition as a perfect reflection on their work, structured from the examination to the decision. In other word, the defendant not guilty verdict symbolizes maintaining self-identy and a rejection of legitimation of the defendant should be penalised.                                                                             Key words:    legitimation of defendant should be penalised, meaning of corruption cases, psycho-cultural cognition.

The Social

Traditionally, historians regard the demise of the Roman Republic as the end of politics. If politics is regarded as decision making that affects society as a whole, something certainly changed with the advent of single rule. Yet the traditional political institutions of senate and city council continued to exist for a remarkably long period of sixth centuries afterwards. It is argued that their role became social rather than political and that they became self-referential, offering the elite a platform to define and negotiate its own position and enact and negotiate major tensions and ambiguities of elite life. The behaviour of their members is best analysed under the heading of political culture, here defined as ‘a style of doing politics’. Such an approach focuses on the social meaning of the form of the behaviour rather than on the content of the decisions. The approach is underpinned by the theory of bounded rationality, which assumes that participants are bound by language and conventions. It is argued that a case study approach, focusing on specific texts or clusters of texts, offers the best way to proceed. It presents seven cases that will be studied in successive chapters, each representing a major tension or ambiguity inherent in Roman political culture.
