  • A TEN YEAR REPORT the Institute of Politics
    A TEN YEAR REPORT 1966-1967 to 1976-1977 The Institute of Politics John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government Harvard University A TEN YEAR REPORT 1966-1967 to 1976-1977 The Institute of Politics John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government Harvard University 1 The Institute of Politics Richard E. Neustadt, Director, 1966-1971 The urge to found an Institute of Politics had little to do with Harvard. It came, rather, from a natural concern of President Kennedy's family and friends after his death. The JFK library, al­ ready planned to house his presidential papers, was also to have been a headquarters for him when he retired from the Presidency. Now it would be not a living center focussed on him, active in the present, facing the future, but instead only an archive and museum faced to­ ward the past. The Institute was somehow to provide the living ele­ ment in what might otherwise soon turn into a "dead" memorial. Nathan Pusey, at the time Harvard's President, then took an initiative with Robert Kennedy, proposing that the Institute be made a permanent part of Harvard's Graduate School of Public Administra­ tion. The School—uniquely among Harvard's several parts—would be named for an individual, John F. Kennedy. Robert Kennedy ac­ cepted; these two things were done. The Kennedy Library Corpora­ tion, a fund-raising body charged to build the Library, contributed endowment for an Institute at Harvard. The University renamed its School the John Fitzgerald Kennedy School of Government, and created within it the Institute of Politics.

The Komsomol Experience Under Stalin Abstract Founded in 1918, the Communist Youth Organization, more commonly known as the Komsomol, was used as a method for political socialization for Soviet youth by providing a sense of community, activities, and a sense of identity. The organization was also used as a way to bolster the Soviet military and generate propaganda. The Komsomol was at its height during the Stalinist period. Members played substantial roles in the major highlights of Stalin’s political career, including the Five-Year Plans, the Purges, and World War II, giving them the political experience necessary to rise as a new generation of party leaders.

Hahn Political Science Department Villanova University Short Term Visiting Grantee, 1984 Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars "Conceptualizing Political in the Soviet Union: Two Decades of Debat0s" One of the standard questions for measuring a sense of civic competence is whether the feels that there is much can do if an unjust law were passed by their legislative body. Those in societies with a "civic" or participatory" political culture are more 1 to respond positively than 1 those who do not. When asked to specify what would actually do to effect such a law, students in the author's classes over the years have responded in a variety of ways. Among the most frequent is their legislators (in- dividually or through a group}, either , or indirectly through letters, or the media. They also mention involved in election activities, including voting, or working for a candidate, either in a political party, or through a special interest group. Also mentioned, although less frequently, are demonstrations, peaceful or violent, or using class action suits in the courts. Probably the most extensive cross-national of political participation to date has summarized all the various fie forms of conventional rart.ici into four or "modes": voting, activity, communal and contacts. The authors of the study defined political par- ticipation as "those legal activities by citizens that are more or less directly aimed at influencing the selection of governmental personnel the 2 actions they take." For the sake of the present discussion, this paper will narrow these four modes down to two: electoral activity, including voting and campaiqn and constituent contact, including corrmunal The term constituent contact is understood to encompa~f; i nt.cn::·;t qrour · activity.

Woodward Tuesdays, 4:15 – 6:15 p.m. Graduate Center, Room 5200.02 Seminar Room 5200.07 (Thesis R.) 1-212-817-8676 Office Hours: Mondays, 5:00 - Email: [email protected] 6:30 and Tuesdays, 3:00 - 4:00 This seminar is a graduate-level introduction to the literature in comparative politics. It can serve as a survey or review for advanced students as well. Because the key theories and concepts are also key political science concepts and theories, it is not exclusively intended for those majoring or minoring in comparative politics; all are welcome. It is not a course in methods or methodologies of research. The focus will be on concept formation, theoretical approaches, theory formulation, and competing theories, not on theory testing or verification. Requirements: (1) In order to cover as much material as time allows, students will be expected to participate fully in seminar discussion – often in concise oral reports on the readings and controversies within them. These will be assigned in advance. These reports do not, however, excuse those who are not presenting that day from doing the required reading and being prepared to join in the discussion. (2) Three short papers (the length of an average answer to a first exam question) will be assigned. The due dates of those papers are: October 10, November 14, and December 13.
