Southern LNG Inc. (SLNG), located near Savannah, Georgia, is one of only four LNG import terminals currently operating in the continental United States. In 1999, SLNG proposed to increase their existing turning basin to alleviate a navigation bottleneck and to accommodate safer docking for the tankers of ever-increasing size that navigate the Savannah River. Additionally, in 2001, SLNG proposed an expansion project which included the creation of a new slip. The expansion of the existing turning basin and the creation of the slip was predicted to permanently impact 3.29-acres of saltmarsh and 0.80-acres of protected estuarine mudflats. Since no saltmarsh mitigation banks are located in the State of Georgia, SLNG designed a mitigation plan to develop an in-kind compensatory wetland that was sited on the southern end of SLNG’s property. The created wetland was established in July 2003 and is undergoing a seven-year monitoring period. To date, the created wetland is functioning similarly to adjacent, naturally-occurring saltmarsh systems that are also located in the Savannah River.

Abstract Philanthropic foundations have become increasingly important actors in the governance of cities in decline in the United States. The relationships between foundation and other actors within city governance are illuminated via contrasting interpretations of state-society power relationships which highlight the mutability of ‘civil society’ as an oppositional or integrated part of the state. After detailing a typology of philanthropy of place, the twofold role played by foundations in the governance of neighbourhood revitalization in the cities in which they are embedded is explored: not only as an important source of funding and support for neighbourhood-based organizations, but as contributors to the creation of neighbourhood revitalization policy agendas. Considering the cities of Baltimore and Cleveland reveals that the policy approaches adopted have tended to align with the predominant neoliberal policy agenda rather than revealing foundation actors as activists who assist the organizations they support in exerting agency to contest or seek to transform the prevailing hegemony. This makes clear the need for rigour in defining what constitutes civil society, and points to the importance of embedded philanthropic practices in enabling civil society agency.

The Creation

This paper seeks to detail the process that culminated in the creation of the first regulatory agencies and analyzes it through the lens of Douglass North’s (1990) theory of institutional change. The first regulatory agency with power to regulate rates emerged in 1873 in the state of Illinois in the United States amid the conflict between farmers and railroads around rail fares. The analysis of this historical process indicates that North’s theory fits well to explaining the institutional change process that gave rise to the regulatory agencies model once the perception on relative prices was the major factor behind its emergence.

Trump Administration

This chapter calls for a renewal of social democracy in the United States, in line with the successes of other more Wilsonian states around the world. The author chronicles the creation and development of the nation-state to explain its importance in governance, as well as some of the ways American governance is failing to live up to the promises of its history and potential. The chapter proposes that government is not the problem but can instead be part of the solution. Relating this idea to the Trump administration, the author concludes by arguing that reassessing the state’s role and purpose in society can promote American democracy, prosperity, and security.

The Creation

The article examines the history of the creation and development of the Attorney Service in the United States, which has no analogues in other states, but due to its functions in criminal prosecution, it is often referred to the prosecutor’s office. The article deals with the organization and activities of prosecutorial supervision in the United States. The authors analyze the functions of the institution of the prosecutor’s office in the state, highlight the stages of activity and investigate the problematic aspects of the work of the prosecutor’s office. As a result of the analysis, the conceptual historical features of the US Prosecutor’s Office were determined.

A bill has been recently introduced into the Senate of the United States providing for the creation of a department of physical culture, whose head is to be “a member of the Cabinet.” Each State, moreover, is to have “a Commissioner of Physical Culture” at a salary of £800, whose duties will comprise the preparation of plans for playgrounds, gymnasia, parks, public baths, and other facilities for physical culture, and who will have general charge of all such matters within the State limits.
