Covert action and congressional oversight: a deontology

Article Abstract:

Covert action was first officially admitted to in 1991, with the Intelligence Authorization Act, though there are still areas which are beyond the control of this process, and where accountability is lacking. Covert action came to be carried out by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and involves operations not directly geared to intelligence gathering. There are doubts as to whether covert action is necessary now the Cold War has ended, and to some extent, military action appears to have replaced covert action

Affirmative action: a case study of an organizational effort

Article Abstract:

A case study was conducted of an affirmative action program in a mid-sized California city. The program generally failed to met its goals for either female or minority employment over a ten year period. Most of the occupations in which minorities or women were underrepresented in 1975 were also low in 1984. Pay group goals were similarly unmet. It was found that minority employment status was inflated in reports in inverse proportion to goal achievement.

Community-ness of a major economic development effort in a biracial community of Alabama

Article Abstract:

A study of an economic development project in Forestville, Alabama reveals that the project was not a community-related action. Reasons why the project was not community-related include local elites promoting and directly benefiting from economic developments, residents feeling that they did not benefit from the development, and perceptions that local growth did not create new jobs.
