  • The Liberal Tradition and the Law: Half a Century After Hartz
    What Hartz Didn’t Understand about the “Liberal Tradition” Then, and Why It Matters for Understanding Law Now1 Carol Nackenoff Department of Political Science Swarthmore College [email protected] For Presentation at the University of Maryland Law School/Georgetown Law Center Schmooze, March 3-4, 2006 To what extent, and in what sense, is it meaningful to talk about the liberal tradition as a context within which constitutional deliberation takes place in the United States? There certainly are very real constraints on what most of those who don black robes and speak the language of constitutional law seem to be able to think. Justice Robert Jackson wrote that “never in its entire history can the Supreme Court be said to have for a single hour been representative of anything except the relatively conservative forces of its day."2 The Constitution establishes much tighter boundary conditions for deliberation for some legal scholars and jurists than for others, and arguments abound about whether the principles and values expressed in that document are fixed or available to later generations to interpret for themselves. That legal discourse has been relatively constrained remains clear.3 It is also reasonably clear that the 2004 election assured that 1 Portions of this paper have just been published as “Locke, Alger, and Atomistic Individualism Fifty Years Later: Revisiting Louis Hartz’s Liberal Tradition in America,” Studies in American Political Development 19 (Fall 2005): 206-215.

It will begin by examining the methodology, mechanisms, and patterns of American political development from the founding to the present. Emphasis will be placed on divergent perspectives on the nature of political development, particularly narratives of continuity and discontinuity. Taking an institution-based approach, the course will then examine the central institutions of American politics and how they have developed over the course of American political history. Relevant to these institutional developments are a host of topics that students will have the opportunity to explore further in various written assignments. This include, but are not limited to, the following: the Constitution and the founding; political economy, trade, and industrialization; bureaucracy and administration; citizenship and inclusion; race and civil rights; law and legal development; and political parties. Course Objectives This course is intended to: • provide students with an understanding of key themes in and approaches to American political development; • expose students to multiple methods of political analysis, with an emphasis on the relationship and tensions between qualitative and quantitative methods; and • develop written and oral communication skills through regular classroom discussions and a range of writing assignments. Course Texts • The Search for American Political Development, Karen Orren and Stephen Skowronek (Yale University Press, 2004) • The Legacies of Losing, Nicole Mellow and Jeffrey Tulis (University of Chicago Press, 2018) All other readings will be available on the course website.

  • The Rhetoric of Political Time: Tracing the Neoliberal Regime’S
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Texas A&M Repository THE RHETORIC OF POLITICAL TIME: TRACING THE NEOLIBERAL REGIME’S ASCENT A Dissertation by ANDREA JUNE TERRY Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Jennifer R. Mercieca Committee Members, Kristan Poirot Jennifer Jones Barbour Robert Mackin Head of Department, J. Kevin Barge May 2017 Major Subject: Communication Copyright 2017 Andrea June Terry ABSTRACT In this dissertation, I argue that Stephen Skowronek’s theory of political time can be used as analytic to better understand the rhetorical opportunities and constraints for presidents and presidential candidates. In particular, I look to Ronald Reagan as a case study: as a president who came on the heels of the end of FDR’s liberal era, Reagan set the tone for a new presidential regime, consisting of particular rhetorical and policy commitments that were all shaped through his neoliberal economic policy. After identifying the rhetorical hallmarks of the neoliberal era as constructed by Reagan, I analyze the rhetorical efforts of his successor, regime articulation president George H.W. Bush, to negotiate the changing domestic and international atmosphere within the rhetorical and policy constraints of Reagan’s neoliberalism. Finally, I identify and analyze the preemptive efforts of Bill Clinton and Ross Perot during the 1992 election as they attempted to renegotiate key aspects of Reagan’s rhetorical and policy commitments to win the presidency.

The dissertation relies on the frameworks of layering, patchwork, intercurrence, and entrepreneurship from various disciplines including comparative historical analysis, historical institutionalism, American Political Development, and the school of political creativity. The dissertation first challenges the mainstream view that regards as impossible any tripartite bargaining among U.S. labor, management, and the state. The United States experimented with the unique tripartite committee—the President’s Committee on Labor- Management Policy—in the early 1960s to address emerging problems such as automation and intractable industrial conflicts.

  • Partisan Regimes in American Politics
    Polity . January 2011 r 2011 Northeastern Political Science Association 0032-3497/11 www.palgrave-journals.com/polity/ Partisan Regimes in American Politics Andrew J. Polsky Hunter College and the Graduate Center, City of New York University Some scholars of American political development have used the phrase “partisan regimes” to refer to an important recurring pattern in American politics: a short, tumultuous period of partisan upheaval and political and policy change followed by extended stability. This article develops the concept of a partisan regime as an ideal type that can help scholars not only explain variations among historical cases, but identify the different elements that contribute to the rise of regimes and understand what these potent coalitions do once they secure power. The ideal type points to entrepreneurial leadership, political crises, and partisan narratives as the key contributors to the emergence of new governing orders. Furthermore, once a partisan regime achieves control, it only temporarily disrupts and remakes national policy, politics, and political debate. After achieving its core priorities, the regime primarily operates to preserve its gains. The concept of a partisan regime therefore offers only a limited explanation for many policy changes that occur during the long periods between regime upheavals.

    Baylor University Political Science 5330 American Political Development Professor David Nichols Course Goals and Objectives: This course will provide an introduction to field of American Political Development which has emerged as an important field of study in American politics over the last ten to fifteen years. Its focus is the growth and development of American political institutions over time and the extent to which political institutions shape one another and political history.
