Political Problems of Emerging Rural Subdivisions in Kane County, UtahHaycock, R. C. 01 May 1969 (has links)
The emerging seasonal subdivisions in the rural mountainous regions of Kane County was the focus of this study . A native of Kanab, county seat, the author has been in a position to witness the development of these projects. The desired purpose of the study was to ascertain the degree of involvement of local government and to indicate problems, their solutions and consequences. The problems encountered in analyzing these developments are basically those that must be faced by any new emerging community.
No individual study was discovered that dealt with the specific locality under consideration. Of very recent origin, the developments have provided little time for in depth analysis. The absence of related studies has offered the author more personal contact with involved individuals than might otherwise have been the case.
The author attempted to view the subdivisions as seen by both subdivider and governing official. Written questionnaires, personal interviews and informal discussions, on-site inspection of subdivisions , vis its to county offices, letters, and telephone interviews have provided the background material for this thesis.
The study resulted in the following observations:
1. Local government must engage in long-range planning to effectively deal with the problems of the subdivisions.
2. Failure to adequately prepare now will necessitate far greater expenditures in future county operations.
3. As the problems continue to grow, so, too , will the cost of their eradication or containment.
4. Intergovernmental cooperative studies appear to be a logical method of determining overall effect of the problems.
5. Restructuring of local government may become necessary.

Desire, Discipline and the Political Body in Michel Foucault and St. AugustineColborne, Nathan 02 1900 (has links)
This dissertation is an attempt to develop an Augustinian response to
political problems diagnosed by Michel Foucault's analysis of modern political
power. Foucault argues that the primary acts of power in the modern age are not
repressive acts but creative ones. Instead of prohibiting acts, political power
disciplines, rehabilitates and normalizes. The result of this is a disciplined and
docile subject within which relations of power are so deeply embedded that
'liberation' can only bring about their entrenchment and the absorption of all
aspects of life into the political structures they represent. Foucault's alternative
consists in practices of aesthetic self-creation not linked to transcendent or natural
construals of order. William Connolly extends Foucault's argument by criticizing
Augustine as a thinker projecting a moral order onto the world and then
categorizing the world on the basis of this order. This contrasts with Connolly's
attempt to derive political practice from ethical sources that do not attempt to
order the cosmos unambiguously . I use John Milbank to begin an Augustinian
response as Milbank understands Augustine as developing an ontology grounded
in the priority of peace and plenitude to violence and scarcity. This provides the
basis for my argument that within Augustine's account of the purposive nature of
love and desire within the subject lies an implicit critique of Foucault's ethic of
aesthetic self-creation. What follows this is an attempt to outline the significant
characteristics of a political posture formed by the practice of the Eucharist.
These characteristics provide an alternative to both modem political practice and
Foucauldian practice. The final chapter applies this Augustinian political posture
to the realms of sexuality, on one hand, and punishment and discipline, on the
other. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Wiedergelesen: Niebuhr, Reinhold: Christian Realism and Political Problems / Read again: Niebuhr, Reinhold: Christian Realism and Political ProblemsRohde, Christoph January 2009 (has links)
"Bis vor Kurzem hätte man das Buch von Reinhold Niebuhr als zeitgeschichtliches
Dokument aus dem Kalten Krieg gelesen. Doch weit gefehlt: Die Krise der
Gegenwart zeigt, dass die reine Lehre der sozialen Konstruktion nicht funktioniert, wenn sie die Beschränkungen einer realistischen Anthropologie nicht berücksichtigt..."
