Cet article rend compte d'une expérience de réanalyse de données qualitatives, particulière en ce qu'elle met en jeu deux chercheuses aux spécialités sous-disciplinaires distinctes, pour traiter une question située au croisement de leurs compétences. Il montre comment réanalyser des entretiens au croisement de l'analyse des politiques publiques et de la sociologie politique implique d'un côté, de prendre le risque de s'éloigner des méthodes d'enquête, des types de données, des méthodes d'analyse et, plus fondamentalement encore, dans certains cas, des registres de validité que l'on est accoutumée à manipuler ; de l'autre, d'apprendre à repérer ce qu'on avait appris à ne pas voir, cela afin de saisir ce qui se révèle sinon insaisissable. En conséquence, la réanalyse semble bien constituer une méthode, au sens plein du terme, pour approcher des objets – ici au croisement policy et politics - que les logiques (sous)disciplinaires rendent difficiles à aborder.

Donald J. Trump's unexpected victory in the 2016 presidential election cast a long shadow over the American welfare state. With continued Republican control of the House and Senate, Trump's occupancy of the Oval Office removed a critical constraint on Republican efforts to dismantle key Democratic social policy achievements—both old and new. Despite the absence of these important institutional veto-points, the policies that were first identified and targeted by Republicans during the Trump era have proved to be more robust than many observers and policymakers initially believed. By applying the theoretical insights and methodological tools of American Political Development, this article explores how long-running policy processes have altered the political landscape in often underappreciated ways to narrow the prospects for large-scale policy reform. More specifically, this article examines the political dynamics of Medicare and the Affordable Care Act in the early days of the Trump administration. The pressures exerted on both programs by an unpredictable president and unified Republican control of Congress provides a unique opportunity to differentiate between and assess the prospects for policy sustainability and policy stability.

Kelsy Burke and Emily Kazyak on Nebraskan attitudes.

Over the post-Mao period, the Chinese state has radically cut back its role in funding health services and insuring its citizens against the costs of ill health. Using an analytical framework drawn from studies of state retrenchment in industrialized democracies and in post-communist Eastern Europe, Jane Duckett argues that the state's retreat from health in China was not a simple consequence of economic policies and market reform. Just as important were the influences of health policies, reform era political institutions, communist party ideology, and bureaucratic stakeholders.

With Foreword by Pamela Davies, Northumbria University, UK. The study of victims and victimization has evolved to produce more information about the effects and impacts of crime, as well as victims' experiences of engagement with the criminal justice system. This book analyses the socio-political context in which particular groups of victims have been prioritised by UK policy-makers in the past two decades as requiring enhanced or targeted services. Focusing on anti-social behaviour and hate crime, Duggan and Heap explore how separating victims according to victimization type allows for a targeted approach which benefits some and disadvantages others. They assess the extent to which certain forms of victimization, or demarcated groups of victims, have been used by governments to further punitive political agendas under the guise of being 'victim-focused' or 'victim-led'. In so doing, this book explores the changing role and status of the victim in contemporary criminal justice discourses, as well as the increased managerialism evident in facilitating victims' engagement in the broader criminal justice system.

Finds that the ideological consistency of new initiatives with the prevailing political climate, and the presence of business constituencies for technology are key to the adoption of new technology initiatives. In the absence of a strong business interest, agency politics and efforts dealing with the budget deficit dominate. (Original abstract-amended)
