  • ABSTRACT GEORGE W. BUSH's FAITH-BASED INITIATIVE By
    ABSTRACT GEORGE W. BUSH’S FAITH-BASED INITIATIVE by Christopher M. Kromer This paper examines the Bush administration’s introduction of the federal faith-based initiative program, a funding and service delivery scheme that combines the resources of the federal government with the social and institutional authority of faith communities. In an attempt to explain the genesis and popularity of the faith-based movement, this paper endeavors to show that, when both the personal faith of George W. Bush and the history of religious engagement in American political discourse are considered, the faith-based initiative is neither novel nor surprising. Instead, it represents the latest effort to combine the power of government with the appeal of religion, a trend that has continued into the Obama administration. GEORGE W.

    Annual Report Annual Report Page 1 Center for East Asian Studies University of Kansas Page 2 Center for East Asian Studies From the Director Greetings from another acting (and former) director. Bill Tsutsui and I have taken turns filling in for Elaine Gerbert, while she completes a research project begun last year with the support of an NEH Faculty Research Fellowship. Elaine will return to the Center next fall. Bill, author of Godzilla on My Mind and authority on radioactively generated monsters, took the helm fall 2004 as Godzilla stomped through Lawrence, rising (inflating) spectacularly over Liberty Hall, terrorizing movie viewers, inspiring conference papers, and winning CEAS international news coverage. Bill reports in this issue on the array of events that he and Michiko Ito organized to celebrate our favorite green monster’s 50th birthday. I came on board last January, just in time for the CEAS Lunar New Years party. Under the expert leadership of CEAS office manager Jun Fu, teams of students and other guests at this annual event learned the craft of Chinese dumpling making and fed over 200 guests. The inclusion of both Chinese and Korean food, customs, and entertainment made for a wonderfully renao (Chinese: “hot & noisy,” i.e. “lively, cheery”) party. Korea was the focus of the Center’s major spring 2005 events. We presented a pair of conferences, “Korea Today” and “The Korean War in Historical Perspective,” in conjunction with the dedication of KU’s handsome new Korean War Memorial (cover photograph). I was pleased to work with the Office of International Programs in planning these events, which featured visiting experts on Korean politics and the history of the Korean War and showcased the growing number of CEAS faculty with expertise in Korean history, society, and culture.

  • Press Credibility and Faith-Based Politics
    CSD Center for the Study of Democracy An Organized Research Unit University of California, Irvine www.democ.uci.edu “Let the Explaining Begin!” exclaimed the Washington Post’s press critic Howard Kurtz shortly after the re-election victory of President Bush in the 2004 campaign.1 In the latest election cycle, a press corps that had been stung by premature projections four years earlier found itself with yet another opportunity to reflect on some things it might have missed. In the fall campaign, there hadn’t been much emphasis on “moral values” in the overall campaign coverage, although there had been some reporting on the GOP strategy of targeting Christian evangelicals and Catholics in battleground states. But this “values” topic emerged as the leading concern in exit polling that asked voters what really mattered in choosing a president. Of those who gave values as the top concern, the overwhelming number voted for Bush. The results turned up most noticeably for the press in its own survey, a poll conducted for the National Election Pool, a consortium of ABC News, The Associated Press, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News. For anyone thinking, quite accurately, that “moral values” also can be a vague, all-encompassing term, there was a convincing suggestion that these voters generally had religious values in mind. The New York Times’ account of the poll results made it clear that Bush had run very well in almost all categories of religious voters. 2 Kurtz polled some leading media observers after the election, and found some of these explanations: “Bush did a very good job of creating some wedge issues on the moral values front,” says CBS correspondent John Roberts.

  • Passionate Publics: Christian Media and the Construction Of
    PASSIONATE PUBLICS: CHRISTIAN MEDIA AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF CITIZENSHIP by KRISTJANA MADDUX (Under the Direction of Bonnie J. Dow) ABSTRACT This project elucidates and interrogates constructions of citizenship in contemporary Christian-themed mass media texts. Whereas Jürgen Habermas and Robert Putnam have bemoaned the decline in citizenship—rational-critical deliberation in the public sphere for Habermas and community involvement for Putnam—others have countered that their visions of decline are precipitated by a too-narrow view of citizenship and the public sphere. Beginning with a broadened approach to citizenship—informed by Robert Asen’s “discourse theory of citizenship”—I look to these popular media texts for the models of citizenship they construct. I focus on Christian media in particular in part because of the popular narrative that frames evangelical Christians as a newly-potent political force and a newly-lucrative consumer demographic, but also in light of Putnam’s admission that regular churchgoers buck the trend of declining civic participation. I pursue close textual analysis of three case studies—The Passion of the Christ, Left Behind, and The da Vinci Code—concluding that they offer distinct models of citizenship. The Passion, I maintain, celebrates feminine submission as the faithful practice of citizenship. That film, which depicts the suffering death of Jesus Christ in careful detail, makes heroines of Jesus’s faithful followers whose trust in an omnipotent God allows and encourages them to submit to unjust rulers. Left Behind, conversely, models brutish masculinity as the faithful performance of citizenship. In those novels, the Christian heroes fight the antichrist with physical violence, and they explicitly chastise characters who prize intellect.

How the Influence of Religion Makes the Foreign Policy of the Bush Administration Revolutionary, and How This Has Affected Our Relations with European Allies Abstract It is widely recognized that the rhetoric and actions of the Bush administration are strongly marked by religious terminology and principles, particularly those o evangelical Christianity. The prominence and new political sophistication of religious groups imply that its current character is a departure from the past. Yet while religious conservatives are seen as a significant force in domestic and electoral politics, their influence in the arena of foreign policy is not generally a topic of serious debate. The omission is significant; not only do domestic politics often influence the direction of foreign policy, but in the case of the religious wing of the Republican Party, there have recently been a considerable number of direct statements and positions taken with regard to international issues.
