More disturbing, perhaps, is that efforts to fix the problem, begin- ning with Jackson’s, have often had the effect of making things worse—or at least making them bad in a different way. As Gil Troy explains in this issue’s cover story, crusades and reforms intended to cleanse the political process have only inspired politicians and those who would influence them to develop more imaginative ways of raising and contributing money. Is Troy’s point, then, a counsel of despair? Not at all. For one thing, it should challenge the cynical conclusion that ours is a particularly corrupt age. For another, Troy’s long perspective should help us see that the con- nection between money and politics, while unbreakable, undergoes con- tinual change, reflecting large shifts in economy, culture, and society. Understanding those changes may be the wisest step toward limiting the worst abuses of the money-and-politics nexus. The most recent wrinkle in the story—though not unheard of in the past—is the alleged injection of foreign money into campaign politics, a possibility much explored in relation to President Clinton’s campaign finances. Whatever is finally proved, current investigations raise an impor- tant question: in the age of international business and global corporations, should we distinguish between foreign and domestic attempts to influence political outcomes? Would we be better off if the former were legalized and brought into the open? There are no easy answers. But Troy’s caution- ary tale suggests that democracy is a delicate machine, better maintained by vigilance and occasional modifications than by major overhauls.

Probably not. Long ago, “Honest Abe” had his men generously sprinkle “material aid” among voters in New York. The author chronicles the colorful history of money and politics in America, showing that citizens’ attitudes have changed more than political realities. 50 A BALKAN COMEDY by William McPherson A royal wedding in Switzerland and a funeral in Bucharest are among the stops on the author’s search for clues to Romania’s remaking after the overthrow of communist strong- man Nicolae Ceaucescu. 34 THE MAN WHO WOULD RESCUE ART by David Levi Strauss Art history may be mired in theoretical trendiness or academic stodginess, but Leo Steinberg’s fiercely original readings of past and present works restore life to the meaning of tradition. 72 THE PLACES WE PLAY by J. B. Jackson What we play—and where we play—reflect some of our deepest cultural values, argues America’s foremost landscape historian.

  • Return of the Kings. Institutionalization of the Royal Families in the Republics of Romania and Montenegro in the 21St Century
    Marcin M. Wiszowaty* Uniwersytet Gdański RETURN OF THE KINGS. INSTITUTIONALIZATION OF THE ROYAL FAMILIES IN THE REPUBLICS OF ROMANIA AND MONTENEGRO IN THE 21ST CENTURY 1. In my latest book I took note of the phenomenon which I defined as a “re- publican paradigm in the research on the political systems of modern states”. This trend is very often encountered in the process of analyzing political systems. On one hand, it consist in omitting or marginalizing all characteristic elements of the monarchy, which do not have their republican equivalent, and on the other hand it focuses on democratic aspects of political system, ignoring its monarchic or republican character. This trend mainly results from a commonly-accepted as- sumption, that the so-called constitutional monarchy is only a stage on its way to the inevitable transformation of a political system from the absolute monarchy into the pure republic, which makes it only a transitional form. It brings about the fact that in case of monarchic states, the only subject of political system analysis is usually the monarch himself, as the last remnant of the past monarchy, whereas the other institutions of the monarchic system are ignored in the belief that they constitute insignificant relics, or even that they have already turned fully into the “republican” character.1 One of the consequences of the above-mentioned inter- pretation is a gradual replacement of a traditional categorization into “republics” or “monarchies” by classifying the states as “democratic” or “undemocratic”. As a result, the two categories will encompass both monarchies and republics, ulti- mately reducing the fundamental differences between political systems.

The thesis explores the importance of these events for queens as both a personal and public experience, and questions the existence of distinctly Western and Eastern styles of queenship. A comparative study of ‘Eastern’ and ‘Western’ ceremony in the sixteenth century has never been attempted before and sixteenth- century Polish queens usually do not appear in any collective works about queenship, even those which claim to have a pan-European focus.

    SALISBURY UNIVERSITY Undergraduate Academic Journal BLACK GIRL M/\G/C Volume 2 – Fall 2020 Salisbury University Offce of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity (OURCA) Enough Is Enough Eric Johnson Jr. (Featured on the Cover) ABSTRACT Racism has led to continuous confict between people since the beginning of time, and it is time for this evil to end – enough is enough. Since the beginning of 2020, we have lost many lives due to COVID-19 and police brutality as the whole world watched. Police brutality is the use of excessive force by an offcer, which can be legally defned as a civil rights violation. Over the years, we have lost many of our citizens and justice was not served. Eric Garner, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbrey … and so many more. The fact that I can fll at least two pages with victims is sickening – enough is enough! The brutality against African Americans this year has spiked to a recent all-time high. The videos of police killings have flled the news and internet – enough is enough. The death of George Floyd was heartbreaking. I personally couldn’t even fnish watching because the video was just so gruesome. All the lives that we have lost this year are heartbreaking – enough is enough. In this moment, the time we are in now, we do not need division. Instead, we need to come together in unity. The purpose of these photos is to show that enough is enough. I believe that one day we will all see the light at the end of this dark tunnel, but we have a long way still to go in order to come together.
