项目摘要

General SummaryThis project analyzes the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's (EEOC) early history in order to advance understanding of legal mobilization and state capacity. The study examines the EEOC's ability to implement its objectives without formal authority and the role of non-state actors in the implementation of employment discrimination law, which would in turn inform how understaffed government agencies can successfully shape legal and political reform and how legal mobilization can be a tool of state capacity building. The PI does this through a multi-site comparative design that creates the first district court-level database of early EEOC litigation efforts.Technical SummaryThe PI analyzes the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's (EEOC) early history in order to advance understanding of legal mobilization and state capacity. The PI contributes to three sets of scholarly literature: (1) Administrative Law and State Capacity; (2) Legal Mobilization; and (3) Labor Law, Politics and the History of the EEOC. The study examines the EEOC's ability to implement its objectives without formal authority and the role of non-state actors in the implementation of employment discrimination law, which would in turn inform how understaffed government agencies can successfully shape legal and political reform and how legal mobilization can be a tool of state capacity building. The PI does this through a multi-site comparative design that creates the first district court-level database of early EEOC litigation efforts. The data collection process involves formal interviews, archival research, and survey research.

概要本项目分析了平等就业机会委员会 (EEOC) 的早期历史，以加深对法律动员和国家能力的理解。该研究考察了平等就业机会在没有正式授权的情况下实现其目标的能力，以及非国家行为者在实施就业歧视法中的作用，这反过来将告诉人手不足的政府机构如何成功地制定法律和政治改革，以及法律动员如何能够成为国家能力建设的工具。 PI 通过多地点比较设计来实现这一点，该设计创建了第一个关于早期 EEOC 诉讼工作的地区法院级数据库。技术摘要 PI 分析了平等就业机会委员会 (EEOC) 的早期历史，以增进对法律动员和状态的理解容量。 PI 贡献了三套学术文献：(1) 行政法和国家能力； (2) 法律动员； (3) 劳动法、政治和平等就业机会委员会的历史。该研究考察了平等就业机会委员会在没有正式授权的情况下实现其目标的能力，以及非国家行为者在实施就业歧视法中的作用，这反过来将告诉人手不足的政府机构如何成功地制定法律和政治改革，以及法律动员如何能够成为国家能力建设的工具。 PI 通过多地点比较设计来实现这一目标，该设计创建了第一个早期 EEOC 诉讼工作的地区法院级数据库。数据收集过程包括正式访谈、档案研究和调查研究。
