This research will examine graduation rates from the 1999-2000 school year until the 2012-13 school year, which will shed light on the long-term impact of neoliberal policy on inequality. I begin with a discussion of the history of school reform in NYC, starting with the Brown v. BOE verdict and finishing at the current neoliberal reform era, to understand how various reform strategies have aimed to reduce segregation and inequality. I then use a dissimilarity index to examine changes in racial segregation by performance between 2000 and 2013, using high school graduation rate quartiles to measure performance. In the last empirical chapter, I use growth curve modeling to understand the factors that are associated with changes in graduation rates. I model the impact of several factors that measure the presence of neoliberal reform and inequality on graduation. These measures include: racial and socioeconomic composition, the impact of mandatory regents, being a small school and failing on NYC school accountability report. This research finds that policies aimed at desegregation have been unaggressive and poorly implemented, and this has resulted in persistent segregation. Neoliberal policies assume that by increasing individual choices and accountability, that all students will make the choices that are in their best interest, and inequality will be reduced. This indirect strategy proves to be ineffective. White students have experienced increased access and isolation amongst the best performing schools, while Black students have become increasingly segregated in the worst performing schools. Growth curve modeling shows a consistent increase in graduation rates over this time. This increase is lessened for schools that serve above average black, Hispanic, and free-lunch eligible students. These schools have the lowest graduation rate.

Full textThis exploratory study compares organizational configurations of principal autonomy in Finland and New York State. Evidence from Finnish school site visits and surveys distributed to principals in New York State and Finland is utilized to compare principal autonomy in two distinct educational settings.
The distinguishing feature of the U.S. school system is local control by school boards, which dates back to the colonial era (Wong & Langevin, 2005). This organizational setting contrasts from the educational system in Finland where the central government still holds statutory responsibility for education, but has decided to delegate decisions affecting the daily processes of a school to the principal and staff of each individual schools (Caldwell & Harris, 2006; Sabel, Saxenian, Miettinen, Kristensen, & Hautamäki, 2010). Finland was chosen for this study because of its recent success on PISA and the attention Finland has received from U.S. policymakers, reformers, professors, and the media. If the Finnish school system is a “miracle” as some proclaim (Darling-Hammond, 2010), then what can we learn from this organizational setting?
The hypothesis of this study is that principals in devolved and radically decentralized settings (e.g. New York State) possess less autonomy compared to principals in settings with a distinct educational center that allows decentralized decision-making at the local level (e.g. Finland). The research questions this study proposes to consider are: 1) To what extent do principals in devolved school systems (such as New York State) exercise autonomy when making decisions compared to principals in an educational system where authority is delegated by the central government (such as Finland)? 2) Is there a relationship between principal autonomy and the type of decentralization? 3) How does the type of decentralization affect a principal’s ability to act autonomously in making decisions?
To examine the validity of the hypothesis and to answer these research questions, principals from New York State and Finland were selected to answer an electronically administered survey similar to the School and Staffing Survey distributed by the U.S. Department of Education. An analysis of the survey results was utilized to help understand if a relationship exists between different organizational configurations and principal autonomy. I also went to visit schools in Finland and had the opportunity to meet with school principals and representatives of the OAJ (Trade Union of Education).
Principals were asked about their autonomy in making decisions related to personnel and instruction. My findings indicate that in almost all instances, principals in Finland enjoy a higher degree of autonomy than their counterparts in New York State. Principals in New York State, which operate in an educational atmosphere where different levels of government and bureaucratic entities ratify laws, pass policies, and make decisions that affect instruction and personnel, experience a lower degree of autonomy. In contrast, principals that work in a system, such as Finland’s, where the central government delegates authority to local educational agencies and allows the administration and staff of each school to make decisions indicate a higher degree of autonomy.

Street vending remains one of the most highly regulated and least understood activities in New York City. The current regulatory framework is overly confusing and complex, leaving policy decisions about who gets to vend and where to the discretion of private interests represented by Business Improvement Districts. There is an estimated ten to twelve thousand street vendors today of which half operate outside any regulatory framework. A historical analysis of street vending policies in New York City reveals a legacy of political and social biases that have influenced contemporary regulatory framework toward vending. Exploratory case studies in Sunset Park and Midtown Community Court illustrate new strategies that are being used today by a Business Improvement District and a criminal justice institution to address vending problem at its root causes. Such strategies break away from traditional prescriptions that focused largely on punitive enforcement measures. A new policy framework for regulating street vending should break the legacy of bias and create a transparent decision making environment that recognizes street vending a right to economic livelihood. Such vending policies should also remain flexible to the nuance of neighborhood scale and need.

Thesis, University of Colorado at Denver, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10608223.
Full textThe goal of this dissertation is to address three areas in the policy process literature that require clarification. First, it examines how a policy actor’s deep and policy core beliefs translate into secondary beliefs. To do so, the research models the effect of an individual’s view of government in daily life and their policy belief towards fracking on their secondary belief of which level of government should regulate an issue. Second, the research examines how a policy actor’s policy core beliefs affect a behavior called venue shopping. The research asks how policy actors’ belief towards the policy status quo affects their shopping activity level, and how their beliefs toward decision makers influence venue selection. Third, the research examines local governmental representatives as policy actors in a state-level policy subsystem. Policy process research identifies local government representatives within advocacy coalitions, but little is known about how local governmental actors compare to other advocates in the coalitions. The research uses the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) as an analytical and theoretical foundation and applies other policy process and organizational theories to inform its hypotheses. I use multiple quantitative data modeling techniques to explore each question. Data for the research is from original surveys of policy actors in state-level hydraulic fracturing subsystems in Colorado, Texas, and New York. Findings indicate policy actors’ deep core and policy core beliefs significantly influence their secondary beliefs. However, deep core beliefs have a greater effect on secondary beliefs related to more abstract issues, such as air quality, and less on more concrete issues, such as the distance a well should be from other structures. The venue shopping models indicate policy actors who oppose the policy status quo shop more venues than those who align with the status quo. Additionally, the strongest indicator of which venue a policy actor shops is not their beliefs toward the decision makers, but their other shopping choices. Finally, analyses show local governments are a unique group within and across coalitions because of their network relationships and they align with one another on a set of policy core beliefs, but are also divided among pro and anti-fracking coalitions on other policy core beliefs. Overall, this dissertation shows the ACF provides a theoretical and analytical frame to examine policy actor beliefs and behavior, but additional theories and sub-groupings of policy actors are needed to explain nuances in policy actor dynamics.

Full textIn a first part, this study analyzes the institutional framework in which American language policies are elaborated; the Constitution of the United States and its amendments appear to play a major role in their elaboration. Since the adoption of national language policies in the 1960’s, federal influence has grown further. However, the language policy of the United States remains incomplete. The language policy of the State of New York, which is studied in the second chapter, supplements it by intervening in the fields of education and voting rights mainly. The language policy of New York is determined by, on the one hand, a structural City-State antagonism, and on the other hand, by the activism of Puerto Ricans who mobilized to assert their language rights. The last chapter of this study consists of a case-study; forty semi- conducted interviews were carried out with Russian-speaking immigrants. As a whole, they stress the importance of retraining in the language acquisition process

tolerance of their activities; governments often allow street vendors in certain areas of the city, while relocating street vendors from sidewalks in others. In the absence of meaningful, in-depth datasets on urban informality, studies investigating this variation have had to rely on case studies, anecdotal material and qualitative neighborhood comparisons. As a result, there have been no large-scale empirical studies undertaking city-wide analysis of the policing of urban informality. This thesis overcomes such limitations by using a mix of administrative data, mobile sensing, GIS mapping and qualitative methods to uncover informality's relationship with the state and the larger urban fabric in New York City. Through visualization and empirical analysis of the enforcement landscape vis-à-vis socioeconomic variables in New York, this project highlights the underlying impulses that lead to uneven regulatory outcomes: disparate claims on urban citizenship and a city's move towards more privatized urbanism. At the same time, my methodology allows this thesis to display the unique interactions street vending has with each neighborhood's socio-spatial environment, resulting in the creation of diverse vending cultures. By recognizing this vibrancy and detangling the determinants of the spatial landscape of vending rule enforcement, this thesis advocates for a fairer regulatory schema for informal commerce.

This thesis is an exploration into how New York City can incorporate local food system planning into their existing sustainability program by capitalizing on recent energy and grassroots initiatives. I argue for the importance of local and regionally produced food as a part of food system sustainability, and propose that food issues be addressed at the local level. In order to learn how food planning transforms from a social and advocacy movement and into policy, I compare food policy initiatives in Chicago, San Francisco, and Vancouver. My analysis of each city's food program reveals their shared aspiration to provide affordable, accessible, and fresh food with few adverse environmental impacts. Each city's strategies are the product of local conditions, interests, and political culture. I recommend that as the New York City government looks towards coordinating food policy, these precedents illustrate the necessity of tailoring urban food policy practices to suit local conditions, community culture, and needs. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of nascent food policy efforts while suggesting roles for policy makers, community groups, and citizens in New York City.

Although many Americans assume that the education provided by public schools will prepare them for higher learning and/ or the workforce, recent studies have shown that American students' test scores lag behind their counterparts around the world and a growing number are not prepared for graduation. School choice, in the form of publicly funded vouchers for low-income students, has caused significant debate as a form of education reform. Proponents argue that vouchers will induce competition between schools, help low-income students obtain a better education, and increase parental satisfaction. Opponents of school vouchers argue that publicly funded vouchers will drain public schools of much needed resources, leave the most difficult to educate students in public schools, and violate the constitution by funding sectarian institutions. School voucher programs have been implemented in New York, Florida, Cleveland and Milwaukee yet there is no consensus in terms of the effect of vouchers on achievement scores. This thesis looks at four school choice programs, evaluates and compares the design/ methodologies of the program evaluations, and draws conclusion about which results are the most reliable and why.
(cont.) Once the methodologies and findings of the evaluations were analyzed, I found that most programs did not have a significant effect on achievement test scores of voucher recipients and did not induce competition between public and private schools.

Full textMany people recognize inequity in educational resource allocation as a problem. It has been suggested this inequity stems from the consolidation of experienced teachers in low-poverty schools and higher teacher turnover rates at high-poverty schools. This paper uses an ordinary least-squares (OLS) regression to examine the relationship between school-level expenditures excluding teacher salary, and teacher turnover in New York City. The results of the analysis suggest that these expenditures have a statistically significant association with teacher turnover, and that, for the majority of them, increased spending is associated with less teacher turnover. The results also suggest that increased spending is associated with a higher level of teacher satisfaction, though the significance of this association is less consistent. These results could have policy implications for education researchers and practitioners concerned with improving fiscal equity through decreased turnover in high-poverty schools.

Thesis, Nova Southeastern University, 2019. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=13426216.
Full textThe permitting process to determine whether high volume hydraulic fracturing (HVHF) should be allowed in New York State has been controversial and protracted. There have been intense disputes between those who see HVHF as an economic benefit and those who assert it will jeopardize health and the environment. Using the case study research method, perceptions of directly affected stakeholders regarding the issues, benefits and limitations associated with the public participation process were explored. Purposive sampling yielded participants from the natural gas industry, municipal governments, local landowners and residents. Data collection methods involved in-depth interviews, focus groups and document analysis. Since the HVHF conflict concerned a future possibility of environmental degradation, theoretical foundations included complex systems and green ideology, the enactment of power and social dominance, environmental conflict resolution, and principles of collaborative management. Findings demonstrate that the public participation process was embedded in a traditional top-down policy development approach that did not accommodate conditions of high uncertainty, nor did it allow for the broader and deeper discourse needed when development involves socio-economic and environmental justice issues. Implications include the potential to apply principles and methods of collaborative management typically used for natural resource management. In particular, the adaptive co-management approach provides a framework for managing issues that require problem solving over time, an essential missing element of the current HVHF stakeholder engagement process where diverse stakeholders identified issues of trust, empowerment, rights and fairness.

Full textThesis advisor: Kevin Kenny
Between 1824 and 1876, almost ten million immigrants came to the United States. The onset of mass immigration posed a logistical problem: how to process, aid, and regulate a large influx of newcomers. State and federal governments, caught up in conflicts over state sovereignty and slavery, proved ill-equipped to manage the influx of migrants. The states enacted their own individual policies to control mobility, but there was no national immigration policy before the Civil War. Where state and federal governments failed to come up with a comprehensive solution, an ad hoc group of shipping merchants, passenger agents, aid organizations, runners and swindlers responded to the onset of mass migration by turning migration into a commercial enterprise. Taken together, these various actors, which I term the “migration business,” formulated an institutional response to the problem of mass immigration in the US. The passenger trade was a side business for many merchants in 1824, when the Supreme Court ruled that Congress had power over interstate commerce. But by 1876, the migration business had become a vast commercial enterprise, according to the Supreme Court, that was so important to the national interest as to require federal regulation. This dissertation explains how the migration business became a commercial enterprise worthy of federal regulation and how it influenced immigration policy on the local, state, and federal level. Through its control of transportation costs, charitable aid, and state and federal immigrant organizations, the migration business held regulatory power over immigrants, as well. By regulating immigration, the migration business formed its own kind of immigration policy—one that was led by merchants and entrepreneurs, and one that exploited foreign-born people in the US

An elementary school principal writes an historical analysis of a thirty-year period of growing immigration and changing education policy in Chelsea, Massachusetts, a city located near Boston. The history examines the years 1890-1920 and the transformation of an urban public school system, including its policies and practices regarding the education of immigrant, non-English-speaking children. Comparisons are made with immigration and the New York City public schools during the same years. A literature review of language policies and the schooling of immigrant children in New York one hundred years ago sheds light on past and present experiences of language-minority students. Attention is given to changing notions of assimilation and Americanization in U.S. society; to the teaching of English and the role of native-language maintenance in defining an ethnic-American identity; and to educational achievement and mobility rates among Russian Jewish and Southern Italian immigrants and their descendants a century ago, and among Hispanic immigrants today. Related questions include: What was the response ofthe New York City and Chelsea public schools to the task of educating immigrant children and how did this change over time? What educational options were available to the increasing immigrant populations? What attitudes and expectations did immigrants and educators have of one another in terms of public school education? How does the historical and sociological evidence confirm or deny the perception of "academic success" and "educational attainment" of immigrants in New York City and the Chelsea Public Schools at the turn of the 20th century? Earlier developments in education policy petiaining to immigration in Chelsea are compared with recent trends, including English literacy, bilingual education, teacher quality, curriculum, school facilities, class size, testing and standards, and graduation rates. The researcher used a mixed-method study of both quantitative and qualitative sources. As an extended reflection and interpretive synthesis, the paper draws from the vast literature on past and present immigration. Sources are varied, from historical accounts of immigrants, to census and school department reports, newspaper reports, statistical surveys, student essays and speeches, and several novels, memoirs, and biographies.

Full textThis research study explores the effectiveness of the urban gardening program Gardens for Healthy Communities (GHC) as a public health strategy intended to reverse obesity trends in New York City. The GHC program originated from the Obesity Task Force, a multi-agency work group commissioned by Mayor Bloomberg in 2013 charged identifying innovative policies to prevent as well as reduce obesity. 18 in-depth interviews with garden advocates and GHC garden members reveal that the driving motivation for participating in the selected GHC gardens was less about obesity, specifically, and more about the public health and community development benefits including: a meeting place for civic engagement and environmental awareness, a space for community and health-oriented partnership, and a social bridge to build community cohesion. Through the community right to public space and gardens, the GHC gardens reveal the power of engaging anti-obesity objectives in driving community development and urban agriculture forward.

This thesis seeks to understand how rental housing market dynamics-particularly landlord behavior, and the policies and players that shape it-contribute to the spatial clustering of households that participate in the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program in New York City. Scholars have long been interested in understanding the reproduction of HCV holders into higher poverty, racially segregated neighborhoods in cities across the U.S. Most of the research to date has focused on the ways demand-side factors influence locational outcomes of voucher holders, specifically why they move, where and under what circumstances. However, to fully understand the residential patterns we see among voucher holders, we need to look beyond the demand-side barriers to understand the structural problems of the rental housing market and the voucher program itself. This thesis draws on in-depth interviews with landlords who participate and do not participate in the HCV program in New York City to better understand their experiences with the program and what drives their decision-making practices. Interviews were also conducted with realtors, public agency officials, landlord associations and a legal advocacy organization to better understand the role that intermediaries, public policies and city agencies play in influencing these decisions. Findings provide detailed accounts of the policies and agency practices landlords and realtors are responding to; they begin to explain how the structure of the rental housing market and voucher program itself lends to the reproduction of HCV clustering into high poverty neighborhoods. Ultimately, these findings indicate how deeply embedded our housing problems are within our economic system and the need to question the adequacy of market-driven housing policies. If we hope to realize a more socially just city, a rethinking of our rental housing policies is in order.

Full textThe thesis regards the influence of Public Policy in the arbitrability of international commercial disputes, in the Brazilian perspective. In its first part, it sets the theoretical basis of the Public Pulicy notion and its repercussion in the Brazilian legal system. In its second part, it examines the 1958 New York Convention and, especially, the role of Public Policy in the Convention’s regimen. From that point, it analyzes the issue of arbitrability and the arbitrators’ duty to render an enforceable award, to conclude that compliance with Public Policy is a requirement of arbitrability under the 1958 New York Convention.

Full textGiven the current political environment in the US, there is great doubt about the future of American policy on climate change. Still, the optimistic future of American climate policy relies on the new group of leaders that have emerged from municipal government. Although local government is traditionally ignored in favor of the publicity of international negotiations between countries, cities have established a role at the forefront of climate policy over the past ten years. These local governments serve half of the world’s population and often are extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, making their contributions more important than ever. Although they face a unique set of difficulties, cities are able to take a range of actions impossible at higher levels of government, reaching communities in unprecedented ways and innovating new policies. This project aims to analyze how local governments fit into the global political regime on climate change, testing the theoretical framework of multilevel governance against reallife examples in Boston and New York City. Further, this paper finds that cities compensate for their relatively small size and limited jurisdiction through a unique set of actions and collaborative relationships, enabling these local actors to become international leaders on this complex global issue

Full textThis doctoral thesis aims to investigate the relationship between Criminal Law and crime prevention, especially with regard to the possibility of building a Criminal Policy founded on knowledge produced in the context of Criminology, which is consistent with the principles and guarantees of Criminal Law. The premise that the sole and exclusive mission of the Criminal Law in a Democratic State of Law must be to protect the legal interests which are valuable for the preservation of a given society is presented in the first chapter. This mission, assigned to Criminal Law, should consider the relevant arguments presented during the discussions held with respect to the \"theories of punishment\". Accordingly, despite the existence of relevant agnostic and retributive positions in relation to sanction and Criminal Law itself, the concept of \"limited crime prevention\" is still presented as the most apt to equate the challenges of ius puniendi, as well as ground it. More than a complex theoretical system, in the second chapter, we aim to demonstrate how this concept may be made possible through the construction of a Criminal Policy which, not limited to legal and criminal responses, results from the dialectical relationship between the knowledge produced within Critical Criminology and Traditional Criminology. From this perspective, the idea presented by Winfried Hassemer of replacing a \"normative prevention\" by an \"organizational prevention\" may subsidize the construction of Criminal Policy. To illustrate this theoretical hypothesis, in the third chapter, we analyze measures implemented in the City of New York in order to address the problem of Motor Vehicle Theft and which had positive results, consistent with the concept of \"organizational prevention\", as opposed to the actions developed under the crime prevention of thefts and motor vehicle thefts in the City of São Paulo, which focused on simple changes in rules and only under the aspect of a \"normative prevention\". The distinction of results confirms the hypothesis that criminological studies, based on the concept of \"organizational prevention\", may support the construction of a Criminal Policy that prevents crimes without disregarding the informing principles of Minimum Criminal Law.

Full textThis dissertation aims to analyze the making of the Latin American Collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, between 1931 and 1943, emphasizing the relationship between politics and culture. It begins with the first exhibition of a Mexican artist, Diego Rivera, at the Museum, which took place in 1931, and it ends with the first exhibition of Latin America artists in 1943. Our main source is the extensive catalog of the collection that presents the actors and the ideas involved in the project. The relevance of the collection is connected to the so called Good Neighbor Policy, which designed the international relations between the United States and the countries of Latin America in the period between 1933 and 1945.

Full textObjective: The objective of this study was to describe and analyze urban air pollution control policies and strategies, with the goal of improving air quality and serving as a reference for other cities facing critical air pollution issues. Using the cases of New York City, São Paulo and Paris, this study highlights the different policies and management tendencies practiced in the three cities, by providing a characterization of the three centers, describing the global and legal timeframe of the development of main policies and highlighting major strategies implemented over the last twenty years. Methodology: Using a multi-case study approach, the first component of the research consisted of characterizing the three cities, providing data on air pollution yearly average level trends of NO2, PM10, PM2.5, Ozone and SO2 over the last fifteen years, giving an overview of modes of travel and the local vehicle fleet, and describing the main policies undertaken in the three cities. Then, the study proposed a categorization of the main strategies applied using OECD air pollution management approaches (regulatory, economic incentives and others) to foresee strategic choices employed. Finally, the results were synthesized with a SWOT analysis matrix and complemented with suggestions based on a human-rights approach to air quality. Results: While the timeframe and local context differed from one city to another, in general the three cities followed a similar historical pathway to developing certain policies as opposed to others. Overall levels of atmospheric pollution have decreased over the last fifteen years but air pollution levels continue above WHO recommended guidelines. The cities differ in the development of strategies used. According to OECD criteria, if regulatory approaches to air pollution are commonly used to lower air pollution levels, cities differ in the way and extent to which they have invested in mobility and public transportation and the chosen energy matrix. Another finding included the development of economic incentives, available data and inclusion of the automobile industry into environmental issues. While the three cities do have technological capacity to develop cleaner energy fuels and foster non-motorized modes of transports in common, disparities in transportation options, infrastructure and distance to and from work appeared to have an impact on the use of privately owned vehicles. This is partly due to the lack of available public transportation in residential neighborhoods and local governments political choices. In particular, this impacted low- and middle-income populations the most as they constitute the majority of car owners. Conclusion: Regulatory approaches have historically been the primary tool used to control air pollution. This is especially true when pollution has reached critical levels even when there is widely-used, reliable public transportation. There are some improvements to be made to advance the quality of the data related to air pollution in each city and to better comprehend the effects and long-lasting impacts of vehicular emissions on air quality. Focusing on vehicle technology is a choice that can only be complemented if more integrated clean transportation strategies reach a greater number of city inhabitants. Furthermore, technology and know-how are important factors which must be transferred from one city to another and must take into account past local studies as well as input from local communities. If not, as air pollution policies are being developed, they run the risk of failing. To this end, human-rights based approach to air pollution must be an option to progress towards more inclusive strategies and their replication.
