Flight Patterns: The Politics of Residential Segregation in the United States

这个项目分析档案和其他历史记录，以探索美国和英国在居住种族隔离方面的政策差异。目的是了解为什么英国的政策比美国的政策更早正式促进融合。答案将在对政治制度和文化理解的分析中寻找。它侧重于一个“机构之家”主题，即相关机构在不同政府和非政府机构的位置影响其政策以及如何实施这些政策。基本上，推动住宅一体化并没有找到一个单一的政府机构来推动它，而在英国，人们找到了一个制度支持。这项工作对于进一步了解文化氛围和更大的体制结构如何影响各机构的政策和运作具有重要意义。

AbstractSES 0000257PI: Edwin Amenta, Chris Bonastia This project analyzes archival and other historical records to explore differences in U.S. and British policies regarding racial segregation of residence. The goal is to understand why British policies officially promoted integration before U.S. policies did. Answers will be sought in analyses of political institutions and cultural understandings. It focuses on an "institutional home" theme, that the location of relevant institutions in different governmental and non-government agencies influences their policies and how those policies get implemented. Basically, promoting residential integration did not find a single government institution to promote it, while in Britain an institutional support was found. The work is significant for adding to understanding of how cultural climates and larger institutional structures affect the policies and operation of agencies.
