초록/해제  
요약 : Recent changes in U.S. social welfare policy suggest that our understanding of the social context of policy formulation is limited in certain ways. Cultural influences are inadequately explained in existing theories of policy formulation, particularly in terms of their persistence, complexity and salience for important social issues. The expanded use of nonprofit, specifically religious, organizations in the provision of government contracted social services is suggestive of the influence of these intervening forces.
초록/해제  
요약 : To examine the significance of social context in public welfare policy, an inductive policy formulation study was conducted of a provision of the 1996 welfare reform act. The “charitable choice” provision specifically allows religious congregations and houses of worship to qualify as vendors of services under the new law. How this provision became part of the welfare act and, in particular, how religious groups influenced its adoption constituted the focus of the study. While religious groups have been acknowledged as implementers of public welfare policy, their active engagement of the policy process at the formulation stage has been largely unexamined.
초록/해제  
요약 : An integrated qualitative and quantitative design utilized three modes of analysis. italicHistorical analysis/italic provided a conceptual framework for explaining the persistence of religious group involvement in contemporary social welfare policy. italicRhetorical analysis/italic of the policy arguments presented by religious interests during the formulation process deconstructed multiple layers of meaning surrounding the charitable choke provision. italicContent analysis/italic of newspaper texts assessed the salience of policy problems and solutions tied to religious group involvement. Principal component analysis (a form of factor analysis) disclosed patterns of word usage and prevailing rhetoric in the texts.
초록/해제  
요약 : In the welfare reform debates of the 1990s, organized religious interests did not speak with a single voice on behalf of the poor, nor were they joined by a single intent to defend or protect the poor and the powerless. The study contributes to knowledge about the function of social context in the formulation of public policy generally and social policy in particular. The study's emphasis on policy discourse also provides additional insight into the strategies employed by advocates of social groups that wish to shape public policy.
