The Public Sphere: An Encyclopedia Article

Abstract: A portion of the public sphere comes into being in every conversation in which private individuals assemble to form a public body. The public sphere as a sphere which mediates between society and state, in which the public organizes itself as the bearer of public opinion, accords with the principle of the public sphere—that principle of public information which once had to be fought for against the arcane policies of monarchies and which since that time has made possible the democratic control of state activities. The feudal authorities, to which the representative public sphere was first linked, disintegrated during a long process of polarization. The representative public sphere yielded to that new sphere of "public authority" which came into being with national and territorial states. The bourgeois public sphere could be understood as the sphere of private individuals assembled into a public body, which almost immediately laid claim to the officially regulated "intellectual newspapers" for use against public authority itself.

Patchwork Policies: State Assistance for Immigrants under Welfare Reform

Abstract: Despite significant federal benefit restorations and considerable assistance provided by states, the social safety net for immigrants remains weaker than before welfare reform. Although many states stepped in to help immigrants, few fully replaced lost federal benefits and state variation in available safety net services has increased. This report, based on a survey of state officials in all 50 states, found that most states that created substitute programs placed conditions on program eligibility rendering many immigrants ineligible, often targeted only specific groups of immigrants, or provided lower benefits than the federal programs which they replaced. The paper ranks states according to the availability of their safety net to immigrants.
