Sommario/riassunto |
|
In Taking Action on Internet Gambling, Russel K. Mayer uses the rise and fall of the Internet gambling industry to illustrate a new and comprehensive approach to understanding how public policy is made in the United States. Through an evidence-based argument, Mayer advances the CMD theory, which puts forth that different phases of policy are governed by three distinct political dynamics: constraint, momentum, and discretion. |
