This article interrogates the conceptual origins through which “eco-populism” became the preferred name for this alternative. Eco-populism is taken to rightly critique some of the class characteristics of ecological destruction, but it obscures their extension into the realms of reactionary politics, private property, and North American agrarian settler colonialism. This article develops an immanent critique of the formal limits of populism, while also demonstrating its historical formation in the US steers it away from more radical orientations towards climate justice.","PeriodicalId":46114,"journal":{"name":"New Political Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45923907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Luke’s Ecocritique to make a case for its relevance today, when the world is on the brink of runaway climate change and it is unclear what direction societies will take. To do so, it proceeds in three parts. First, it outlines three significant shifts that have taken place, undermining some of the coordinates that guided Luke’s Ecocritique and raising new problems for political ecology today. Then, it draws a few lessons from Ecocritique that remain vital to political ecology today. Finally, inspired by the way Luke mapped his ecocritique by examining a number of thinkers, projects, and movements, I will briefly outline a number of sites that seem critical for mapping new ways forward at this juncture. The essay concludes with five suggestions for how ecological politics might proceed today.","PeriodicalId":46114,"journal":{"name":"New Political Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42029342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PB delegates public authority to neighborhood residents to propose and decide on projects to fund with tax dollars. Does PB achieve a form of empowered participatory governance? This article examines this question by focusing on the degree to which PB engages marginalized groups in two Bay Area cities, using survey and interview data. We find that marginalized groups do participate, periodically at rates equal to their proportion of the population, and such groups appear to occasionally benefit materially from winning projects, though to a lesser extent. Effective outreach methods that contribute to these outcomes are highlighted. However, overall findings show that white middle-aged, middle-class groups participate most. Moreover, PB funds have been scaled back in both cities, limiting benefits and their potential to achieve PB’s equity goals. These results mirror outcomes in other jurisdictions. We conclude, nevertheless, with discussion of how PB’s institutional design, which if expanded and deepened, provides concrete pathways to achieve a promising form of empowered participatory governance with redistributive potential at the local level.","PeriodicalId":46114,"journal":{"name":"New Political Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49336464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most community college students are first generation, full-time students, workers, and often parents. They face severe time constraints, which are under-theorized and under-politicized to their own detriment. The COVID-19 pandemic compelled most people, including students, to transform previously private spaces to public spaces to accommodate work, school, and care-giving responsibilities. As a result, spatial and temporal distinctions between these different modes of being collapsed, allowing economic rationality to inform the most intimate settings of home, a Gorzian nightmare.","PeriodicalId":46114,"journal":{"name":"New Political Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48265255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For our analyses, we used multiple regressions and first focused on the extent to which social structural locations (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, age, education, rurality) were associated with a willingness to trust Trump and report intentions to vote for him. Then, we considered partisanship affiliations. Finally, we looked at the extent to which hegemonically masculine, racial/ethnic and nativist, and authorities on truth values helped to further establish affinities for Trump. Findings indeed revealed that cultural value contestations were central to establishing affinities for Trump. Such beliefs even remained linked to intentions to vote for Trump after accounting for adults’ trust in him.","PeriodicalId":46114,"journal":{"name":"New Political Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41339170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Swenson","doi":"10.1080/07393148.2023.2181549","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/07393148.2023.2181549","url":null,"abstract":"Laura Olson’s review of my book nicely surveys, among other things, what I say about the commercial invasion of American therapeutics early in the 20th century and the toxic mixture of profit seeking and health care that resulted. While my book focuses to a great extent on organized medicine’s long-standing and continuing entanglements with the drug industry, she looks at much later commercial invasion—of corporate capital into the clinical encounter between provider and patient. We both address another ingredient—politics—in the insalubrious cocktail of money and medicine. In Ethically Challenged, Olson rightly directs some of our attention to PE’s exercise of power in the halls of Congress that makes its huge profits at the expense of good health care possible. Profits generate power to protect and increase profits. In Disorder, I focus on the evolution of what might be called the “upstream” institutional causes of pathologies in medicine predating PE’s invasion. At the root of that was organized medicine in alliance with the pharmaceutical industry. A legacy of that medico-political alliance includes, most importantly, the obstruction of universal health care and therefore the flourishing of commercialized health care financing and delivery. PE therefore entered a congenial environment for takeover. To illustrate: in the early 1940s, the American Medical Association (AMA) raised $1 million for a massive and successful campaign to fight national health insurance and therefore preserve the \"American system of medicine.\" About 90% of that came from huge drug companies. In the 1950s, the AMA and the drug industry became enmeshed, and a revolving door opened between the two: in 1958, the Pharmaceutical Association of America (PMA) handed its presidency to the powerful editor of the AMA journal, who then, in 1963, moved on to a more lucrative job as president of Parke-Davis. The PMA then replaced him with the AMA’s executive vice president. Money circled back. In the early 1960s, 17 of the largest drug firms gave nearly $1 million to the AMA’s political action committee in the first three years of its efforts to fight Medicare, in part out of fear of federal controls on drug pricing. Although the AMA-pharma alliance failed against Medicare (except by making sure drugs were not covered and by preserving fee-for-service medicine), its successful obstruction of universal government health care opened the locks for the eventual “downstream” phenomenon of commercialized PE-care. Ironically, the conservative AMA of the 1920s onward had fiercely fought private health insurance as the “corporate practice of medicine” before eventually making peace with it on terms it approved of (again, most importantly, fee-for-service payment). But its current response to the new corporate invasion is downright feeble. It expresses worries more","PeriodicalId":46114,"journal":{"name":"New Political Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47304148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
