Which of the following people is the best-known example of a policy entrepreneur?

A lobbyist is a professional whose job is to make contacts with influential people in Washington (or whatever government) and make a case on behalf of a client. They're regulated under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995. If you're spending most of your time chatting with Congressmen, then you need to file forms saying who you're talking to and on whose behalf. These forms are filed with the clerks in the House and the Senate.

While a Political Action Committee (PAC) is a group of people with some kind of interest. They collect money and spend it to promote that interest. They have to file forms, with the Federal Election Commission rather than with the legislative branch, though unlike the lobbyists they have ways to not disclose who's giving them money. They can hold public meetings, buy TV advertising, donate money to causes, give money to candidates (a small amount- about $5k to candidates and $15k to parties), and hire lobbyists.

Generally, when a PAC hires a lobbyist, the lobbyist is the one to go to the legislator and make the case on behalf of the PAC. They may also bring the PAC's own team to make the presentation, but they need to be very careful about crossing the (byzantine) set of rules trying to keep the ethical lines clear-ish. Conceivably, they could have lobbyists on staff, but it exposes the entire organization to levels of disclosure that they'd generally rather not have. Thus, the usual plan is for a PAC to hire an established lobbying firm, who is already registered and prepared to handle the paperwork.

advantages and disadvantages of the existence of political dynasty in the Philippines. Write a brief explanation for each item

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Disadvantages:

1. Undue Advantage due to the <em>Carnegie Effect</em>

Andrew Carnegie postulated that it was more discretionary for him to give out all his wealth to non-family member given that his children, given the expectation of inheritance of their father's estate, were most likely to have less incentive or motivation to work for themselves or build their own wealth. This thinking became known as the <em>Carnegie Effect.</em>

This effect is recurrent and prevalent among dynastic politicians as they are imbued with an advantage over their non-dynastic political peers right from birth. This means that regardless of their capabilities, they are more likely to, when faced with a non-dynastic politician, in an election.

This kind of effect is unhealthy for the political process of the Phillippines.

2. Abuse of power leading to graft, bribery, and conflicts of interests.

Dynasties in the Phillippines have been known to use their offices to enrich themselves at the expense of the state. Evidence also shows that the political system is rife with bribery, especially when a dynastic politician needs to have their own interests represented at the regardless of what is good for the state. It is not uncommon for the incumbent dynasty to suppress political opponents with better policy mandates as to how the state of Phillippines can run.

In the long run, this leads to the impoverishment and rigidity of state thus reducing its ability to respond to the development.

Advantages

1. Unlike non-dynastic politicians who have a limited term in office, Dynastic politicians, due to the long term of office, have a greater incentive to initiate, execute and complete long term projects, especially those within their jurisdiction. Continuity is good for economic development.

2. It is true that Dynastic politicians have an undue advantage in politics when compared to their non-dynastic counterparts. This undue advantage has led to the rise of female political leaders who use their dynastic connections (directly or indirectly) to come to power.
