Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Thesis (M.A.L.S.)--Georgetown University, 2009.; Includes bibliographical\n references.; Text (Electronic thesis) in PDF format. This paper examines the role that\n American presidency has played in the shaping of U.S. environmental policy over the past two\n decades, namely in major global initiatives such as the Montreal Protocol, the Earth Summit,\n and the Kyoto Protocol. It employs the presidential role theories that are directly related to\n global policy making, such as the party leader and the chief diplomat theories. An emphasis is\n given to the analysis of the power relationship between the U.S. President and other chief\n actors, namely the United States' Congress and special interest groups. It seeks to illustrate\n how the power play between the executive branch and the legislative branch impacts effective\n or ineffective policy making. Democratic and Republican Presidents are compared with regard to\n their willingness to work with the legislative branch. The paper pays particular attention to\n Presidential leadership and effectiveness with in regard to international cooperation on\n global environmental initiatives and policy making.; The paper's central argument is that when\n the U.S. has proactive environmental leadership from its chief actors, it strengthens the\n multilateral efforts to address global environmental policy. Inversely, when leadership takes\n a back seat we will find multilateral efforts weakened. It also illustrates how domestic as\n well as foreign political factors play a role in shaping U.S. global environmental\n policy.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
