  • The Long Red Thread How Democratic Dominance Gave Way to Republican Advantage in Us House of Representatives Elections, 1964
    THE LONG RED THREAD HOW DEMOCRATIC DOMINANCE GAVE WAY TO REPUBLICAN ADVANTAGE IN U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ELECTIONS, 1964-2018 by Kyle Kondik A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Baltimore, Maryland September 2019 © 2019 Kyle Kondik All Rights Reserved Abstract This history of U.S. House elections from 1964-2018 examines how Democratic dominance in the House prior to 1994 gave way to a Republican advantage in the years following the GOP takeover. Nationalization, partisan realignment, and the reapportionment and redistricting of House seats all contributed to a House where Republicans do not necessarily always dominate, but in which they have had an edge more often than not. This work explores each House election cycle in the time period covered and also surveys academic and journalistic literature to identify key trends and takeaways from more than a half-century of U.S. House election results in the one person, one vote era.

Called “Icarians,” members of this party ascribed to the social philosophy and utopian vision outlined in Cabet’s 1840 novel, Voyage en Icarie , written while in exile. This thesis analyzes the conception of space developed in Cabet’s book, and tracks the group’s actual spatial practice over the next seventeen years. During this period, thousands of Icarians led by Cabet attempted to establish an actual colony in the wilderness of the United States.

  • David Harvey
    david harvey THE RIGHT TO THE CITY e live in an era when ideals of human rights have moved centre stage both politically and ethically. A great deal of energy is expended in promoting their sig- nificance for the construction of a better world. But for Wthe most part the concepts circulating do not fundamentally challenge hegemonic liberal and neoliberal market logics, or the dominant modes of legality and state action. We live, after all, in a world in which the rights of private property and the profit rate trump all other notions of rights. I here want to explore another type of human right, that of the right to the city. Has the astonishing pace and scale of urbanization over the last hundred years contributed to human well-being? The city, in the words of urban sociologist Robert Park, is: man’s most successful attempt to remake the world he lives in more after his heart’s desire. But, if the city is the world which man created, it is the world in which he is henceforth condemned to live. Thus, indirectly, and without any clear sense of the nature of his task, in making the city man has remade himself.1 The question of what kind of city we want cannot be divorced from that of what kind of social ties, relationship to nature, lifestyles, technologies and aesthetic values we desire. The right to the city is far more than the indi- vidual liberty to access urban resources: it is a right to change ourselves by changing the city.

It argues that the program of privatizing government information dissemination activities, which began as part of the Reagan administration’s pursuit of neoliberal policies, continues today albeit in altered form due to the advent of electronic publishing.

  • Yeni Sahra Squatter Settlement in Istanbul
    ITU A|Z VOL: 9, NO:1, 86-103, 2012-1 The right to inhabit in the city: Yeni Sahra squatter settlement in Istanbul Aytanga DENER Istanbul Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, Istanbul, TURKEY Received: March 2012 Final Acceptance: May 2012 Abstract: The informal housing issue was included into the agenda of Turkey in the 1950s. The outskirts of major cities are still crowded with informal and low quality houses. Today, Istanbul is under the influence of global flows and the big scaled urban transformation projects are being planned to rearrange the degraded areas. In this context, the squatters are displaced whereas the land profit is transferred to the big capitalists. However, social movements and resistance arise against these projects and the housing issue of poor people is discussed in various forums for the sake of developing their socioeconomic and cultural status in the cities. This paper aims to discuss the concepts, “the right to the city” and “the right to inhabit” within the context of the neoliberal regimes and the consequential economic, socio-cultural, ideological and spatial transformation occurred both in the world cities and Istanbul. The first part of the paper is shared for the discussions on the issues of neoliberalism, social exclusion and the concepts, “the rights to the city”, “the right to inhabit”. The successive phases of gecekondu phenomenon are examined in order to form the basis for the evaluations of the current status of squatters and their houses in the city. In the second part, the physical and social structure of Yeni Sahra squatter settlement in Anatolian part of Istanbul is discussed in relation to the research mainly on the characteristics of inhabitants and houses.

    OFFIClf OF GENERAL COUNSEL m m -7 PH 3: U3 August 3,2018 MUR # Office of the General Counsel Federal Election Commission 1050 First Street, N.E. Washington, DC 20463 Dear OGC: I am filing a complaint against Bob Rackleff and the Bob Rackleff for Congress Campaign for a shortage of $16,000 for an agreed upon monthly retainer resulting in an illegal contribution. In April of 2017,1 received an email from Bob Rackleff asking my thoughts on his running for Congress in Florida's Second Congressional District. As a Media Consultant, I have handled his media buying for his Leon County Commissioners' races over 10-15 years. We came to an agreement in May that stated he would pay me according to the timeline (first of each month) and "as long as the money was raised." The original budget was between $1.5 million and $2 million. For the most part he was late in paying me. He also stated that "he would do his part." However, he did not. He refused to "dial for dollars" or hire a fundraiser. In addition, he refused to call personal friends, such as Chris Matthews, instead telling me to call him. 1 spoke with the pollster that 1 introduced him to and whom he had hired. He had a fundraiser that he thought would fit well with Bob. After several attempts to get him to talk to said fundraiser, he finally did. However, he said he didn't want to pay him upfront. 1 spoke with the fundraiser and he agreed to wait for payment of the first month's retainer ($3,500) until he had raised $7,000 (of the $200,000 he thought he could raise for him).
