Moore In my dissertation, I analyze the motivations behind a country's decision to call for the removal of another state's government, a serious challenge to state sovereignty and non-intervention principles. I construct a model explaining the initiation and escalation of these “regime claims” in the Americas. I find that states are motivated by two factors: (1) threats to an otherwise acceptable status quo, and (2) the opportunity to improve an unacceptable set of bilateral relations. Additionally, countries calculate the probability that they can oust another leader with a claim or militariZed action. I use logistic regression techniques to test a series of hypotheses derived from this theoretical model, finding that threats and opportunities drive claim initiation, but evaluations of the probability for success determine whether countries militariZe such claims.

    WISCONSIN HISTORICAL SOCIETY An Oral History Interview with ELLEN PROXMIRE First of two interviews Interviewer: .Anita Hecht, Life History Services Recording Date: November 18, 2008 Place: Washington DC. Length: 2.0 hours Ellen Imogene Hodges was raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and in 1945 married Wisconsin native Warren Sawall. They moved to Madison, Wisconsin, where she earned her BA from the University of Wisconsin in 1948. Six years later she and Sawall were divorced. In the early 1950s, she became active in the Democratic Organizing Committee in Madison, eventually becoming the Democratic Party's executive secretary. In 1956, she attended the Democratic National Convention in Chicago with William Proxmire. Each had two children, each was divorced, and each was committed to Democratic politics. During an evening walk in Grant Park, Proxmire suggested they marry, which they did on December 1, 1956. In 1957, her husband was elected to the U.S. Senate and the family moved to Washington. For the next 30 years, Proxmire divided her time between raising children, working in the Senate office, starting her own business, and campaigning. In 1963 she published a memoir, One Foot in Washington: the Perilous Life of a Senator's Wife. In 1967 Proxmire started her own business, Wonderful Weddings, which expanded into a successful event planning business handling major social events in Washington. In 1989, after Sen. Proxmire's retirement, the couple remained in Washington, DC, until his death in 2005 from .Alzheimer's disease. Ellen Proxmire
