    Bachelor Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject American Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,3, Free University of Berlin (John-F.-Kennedy-Institut für Nordamerikastudien), language: English, abstract: The objective of this work is to bring together findings from different research fields and organize them in a way that helps to detect the ambivalent legacy of Proposition 13 three decades after its ballot success. Since this initiative is such a buzzword in politics, the media, and academia, I will show why Proposition 13 has been both the darling of California citizens and the scapegoat for everything that has presumably gone wrong in the state. With this objective, it is not sufficient to solely focus on the changed fiscal structure of local governments or the role of Howard Jarvis as ¿the small people¿s hero.¿ Therefore, I will extract Proposition 13¿s main aspects that have formed its lasting legacy. I will do so by presenting my findings in three parts: The first part will focus on the initiative¿s 1978 ballot success and causes as well as its sponsors and opponents. I will show that the voters¿ motivation to overwhelmingly approve Proposition 13 was not a sign of sharply reversed attitudes toward government and public services, but was rather based on two essential aspects: voters requested an immediate, substantial, and permanent property tax relief and wanted to send a strong message to their inactive and unresponsive government through the power of the initiative process. The second part will analyze the proposition¿s (unanticipated) impacts on the state and local governments and California citizens ¿ with regard to fiscal, socioeconomic, and political impacts. Among other aspects, I will explain why the hopes of the initiative¿s sponsors for shrinkage of big government were dashed while the alarming prophesies of Proposition 13¿s opponents were not fulfilled to their anticipated magnitude. With respect to the political impact of the initiative, I will show that the unanticipated shift in power relations between the state and local governments has been one of the most important effects of the proposition. Finally, the third part will turn to the changing debate about Proposition 13¿s role in the nationwide tax revolt of the 1970s and 1980s as well as in California over the past three decades. I will proceed to analyze the double-edged legacy of Proposition 13 as both the darling of California citizens and the scapegoat for the state¿s problems. I will underscore the relation between direct democracy and Proposition 13 and identify possible positive results and repercussions of the initiative process as it is used in California.

    Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Politik - Region: USA, Freie Universität Berlin (John-F.-Kennedy-Institut für Nordamerikastudien), Veranstaltung: Interessengruppen und Think Tanks in der US-Außenpolitik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der hier vorliegenden Arbeit sollen im Folgenden die beiden führenden Interessenvertretungen der iranisch-amerikanischen Community in den amerikanisch-iranischen Beziehungen analysiert werden: Der American Iranian Council (AIC) und der National Iranian American Council (NIAC). Dabei wird am Fallbeispiel der iranischen Präsidentschaftswahlen im Jahre 2009 untersucht, inwiefern diese beiden Gruppen ein Einflusspotenzial in der amerikanischen Außenpolitik besitzen. Dieser Auswertung wird eine Vorstellung iranisch-amerikanischer Interessenorganisationen vorangestellt. Anschließend soll ein kurzer theoretischer Teil den politischen Prozess darstellen, in welchem diese Interessenorganisationen aktiv sind. Diesem Teil folgt eine Betrachtung der Ereignisse im Zuge der Wahl im Iran und der Reaktionen von offizieller Seite in den USA, die beide in den Kontext der amerikanisch-iranischen Beziehungen gestellt werden. Im Anschluss erfolgt die eigentliche Analyse des Einflusspotenzials des American Iranian Council (AIC) und des National Iranian American Council (NIAC) anhand einer Untersuchung ihrer Organisationsstruktur, ihren Mobilisierungsmöglichkeiten und der bisherigen Resonanz ihrer Botschaften. Zudem soll ein Blick auf die Opposition dieser Interessenvertretungen, den politischen Prozess, in welchem sie agieren sowie ihre Haltung zur iranischen Präsidentschaftswahl geworfen werden. Hieraus wird zu erkennen sein, inwiefern sie das vorher analysierte Einflusspotenzial in diesem Fallbeispiel nutzen konnten. Daraus wird abschließend ein Fazit über die beiden Organisationen entwickelt.

  • - Changes in the Peri-Urban Northern Nairobi Metropolitan Region

    It is concluded that the project's outcomes are ambivalent - partly living up to the expectations of THIP proponents but not resulting in shared benefits for all concerned stakeholders due to flaws in managing the development in this peri-urban transport corridor area, thereby fitting into the Kenyan context of politics and planning.
