But with a new year come new challenges. The November elections saw disturbingly low turnout among young voters, and our own Survey of Student Attitudes revealed widespread political disengagement in American youth. This semester, the Institute of Politics begins its new initiative to stop the cycle of mutual dis- engagement between young people and the world of politics. Young people feel that politicians don’t talk to them; and we don’t. Politicians know that young people don’t vote; and they don’t. The IOP’s new initiative will focus on three key areas: participation and engagement in the 2004 elections; revitalization of civic education in schools; and establishment of a national database of political internships. The students of the IOP are in the initial stages of research to determine the best next steps to implement this new initiative.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Peace Corps Volunteers and the Boundaries of Bottom-up Development: Mongolia, a Case Study A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education by Hugh Erik Schuckman 2012 © Copyright by Hugh Erik Schuckman 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Peace Corps Volunteers and the Boundaries of Bottom-up Development: Mongolia, a Case Study by Hugh Erik Schuckman Doctor of Philosophy in Education University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Sol Cohen, Chair From President Kennedy’s first announcement of a non-military US volunteer corps in 1961, the Peace Corps has been one of the preeminent government grassroots volunteer development agency. This study explores the history of the ambiguities inherent in this contention, pressure primarily stemming from the organization’s role as both a governmental diplomatic and a popular grassroots development agency. The genealogy of conflict stems from three ill-defined and considered elements: the grassroots volunteer, development, and the discourses of grassroots programming. In bracketing these terms, this study illustrates the ways organizational epistemology is fractured among political actors, staff, and volunteers. Though the Peace Corps organizational rhetoric has shifted these categories over the years, the organization’s political face has remained dominant in organizational attitudes and expressions. This dissertation underscores the disproportionate weight of this side of the discourse, which is simultaneously most at odds with the idea of the horizontal, grassroots rhetoric of the organization. In demonstrating the paradox of the Peace Corps’ simultaneous rhetorical role as a i grassroots development organization and US political theater, I combed archival resources such as pamphlets, reports, internal memos, and posters produced by the organization to better understand the particular messages contained in these documents.

  • A Rhetorical Analysis
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of the Liberal Arts PEACE CORPS IN THE 21ST CENTURY: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS A Thesis in Communication Arts and Sciences by Casey Malone Maugh Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2007 The thesis of Casey Malone Maugh was reviewed and approved* by the following: Stephen H. Browne Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee J. Michael Hogan Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences Rosa Eberly Associate Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences & English Jeanne Lynn Hall Associate Professor of Communications James Dillard Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences Head of the Department of Communication Arts and Sciences *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT In 1961 John F. Kennedy founded the Peace Corps. After 45 years of continual international service, the organization has nearly 8,000 volunteers serving in 67 countries throughout the world. Throughout the years the organization has struggled to gain presidential support and funding, as well as recruit well-rounded volunteers. After years of falling volunteer numbers, in 2003, the Peace Corps revamped its campaign to appeal to a broader volunteer audience. The recruitment strategies differ from those in the 1960s, appealing to the pragmatic benefits of service rather than the idealistic appeals used in the early years of the organization. This work includes an analysis of the organization’s recruitment strategies both textual and visual as well as an analysis of volunteer accounts of service. This study culminates in a look toward the future of the organization, in hopes of revealing the direction of the Peace Corps in the 21st century.

It was subsequently strongly supported by her successor Marta Santos Pais. The vision and encouragement shown by each of them was crucial to enabling the completion of the study, albeit over a significantly longer period of time than had originally been planned. The work on the study was supported by generous funding from the Swedish International Development Agency and by the Innocenti Center itself. In the initial consultations important contributions were made by Stephen Lewis, Graça Machel, Thomas Hammarberg, Gerison Lansdown, and Mary Racelis. Apart from the work undertaken by the two principal authors, the most important contribution to the study was made by Macalastair Darrow who prepared a detailed case study of the Indonesian response to the Asian financial cri- sis which provided the basis for the relevant sections of this study. The authors are most grateful to those who responded to requests for assistance or advice in connection with the preparation of the study. Most of these are listed in the Annex to the study.
