  • The Social Construction of Social Capital and the Politics of Language
    POLITICSSMITH and & KULYNYCH SOCIETY It May Be Social, but Why Is It Capital? The Social Construction of Social Capital and the Politics of Language STEPHEN SAMUEL SMITH JESSICA KULYNYCH Although the referents of the term social capital merit sustained inquiry, the term impedes understanding because of the historical association of the word capital with economic discourse. As a result of this association, applying the term social capital to civic engagement blurs crucial analytic distinctions. Moreover, there are important ideological consequences to considering things such as bowling leagues to be a form of capital and urging citizens to become social capitalists. The term social capacity, the authors argue, provides the same heuristic benefits as the term social capital without extending illusory promises of theoretical parsimony with the financial/human/social capital trinity. The word Capital had been part of legal and business terminology long before economists found employment for it. With the Roman jurists and their successors, it denoted the “prin- cipal” of a loan as distinguished from interest and other accessory claims of the lender....Thus the concept was essentially monetary, meaning either actual money, or claims to money, or some goods evaluated in money. Also, though not quite definite, its meaning was perfectly unequivocal, and there was no doubt about what was meant in every Both authors contributed equally to the writing of this article; our names are listed in random order. An earlier version of this article was presented at the 1999 annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, Atlanta, GA. Smith’s work on the article is part of a larger project on urban edu- cation in Charlotte, North Carolina, that is funded by grants from the Spencer Foundation, the Parker Foundation, and the Winthrop University Research Council.

    Notes Chapter 1 1. There are, of course, many “Americas.” Here, I use the word “America” interchangeably with the “United States.” I also use the words “work” and “labor” interchangeably throughout this book. This is a self-conscious decision in spite of the distinction Hannah Arendt draws between work and labor. See Hannah Arendt, The Human Condition (Chicago: Univer- sity of Chicago Press, 1998). 2. To be sure, the occurrence of the word “dream” in these speeches may or may not refer to the American Dream as such. Yet, a close reading of the texts yields the conclusion that it most often does. These speeches are available at the University of California, Santa Barbara’s “American Presidency Project” website. Available at http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/; last accessed August 5, 2012. The numbers cited here reflect the follow- ing methodological considerations: (a) I have only taken into account the first of a series of six State of the Union addresses by Richard Nixon (1973); (b) I have excluded Reagan’s (1981), Bush’s (1989), Clinton’s (1993), Bush’s (2001), and Obama’s (2009) addresses before joint sessions of Congress because these were not technically State of the Union mes- sages; and (c) the word “undreamed” has been counted as an occurrence of the word “dream.” 3.

  • Is American Multilateralism in Decline?
    Articles Is American Multilateralism in Decline? Is American Multilateralism in Decline? By G. John Ikenberry American foreign policy appears to have taken a sharp unilateral turn. A half century of U.S. leadership in constructing an inter- national order organized around multilateral institutions, rule-based agreements, and alliance partnerships seems to be giving way to an assertive unilateralism. But how deeply rooted is this unilateral turn? Is it an inevitable feature of America’s rising global power position? This article argues that the United States is not doomed to shed its multilateral orientation. Unipolar power pro- vides new opportunities for the United States to act unilaterally, but the incentives are actually quite complex and cross-cutting; and these incentives arguably make multilateralism more rather than less desirable for Washington in many policy areas. merican foreign policy appears to have taken a sharp unilat- After eight years during which foreign policy success was largely meas- eral turn.

  • Affecting the World: Political Science Education and Relevance
    Affecting the World: Political Science Education and Relevance by Matthew Stein Abstract: Since the establishment of the American Political Science Association (APSA), American political scientists have sought to bridge the gap between scholarly research and political action. Frank Goodnow, the first president of APSA argued in 1904 that the study of politics can, or plausibly must speak to the political world. Over 100 years later, former APSA president Jennifer Hochschild echoes this sentiment by arguing that increased relevance is one cause for optimism in a politically pessimistic time. Christina Greer recently followed this line of thought by arguing in APSA’s 2018 Election Reflection Series that political scientists ought to focus on informing the public on relevant topics. Political scientists continue to debate how we can best achieve relevance. However, one approach to becoming relevant which is often overlooked is a turn to focusing on classroom education. My argument counters the tendency to treat our educational responsibilities as a non-factor with regards to becoming a more relevant discipline. Although the desire to become more relevant is noble, success will require that we view teaching as a gateway to, rather than an obstacle to becoming relevant. Undergraduates who major in political science work in the very fields we wish to discuss and impact including government, law, and non-profit organizations. Therefore, if we wish to be a relevant field, political science academics ought to primarily focus on student education. Political Science and the 115 Year Pursuit of Relevance For at least the past 115 years – since the formation of the American Political Science Association (APSA) – political scientists have stated a desire for the field to be relevant.

  • NCOBPS 2016 Program
    1 2 Dear Conference Attendees and Supporters: On behalf of the leadership of the National Conference of Black Political Scientists (NCOBPS), I welcome you to the 47th Annual Meeting of this beloved association. For nearly 50 years, NCOBPS has been an intellectual home and a vibrant forum for Black political scientists and other scholars who have seen it as our mission to use various forms of political and policy analysis so to enlighten, empower, and to serve Global Black communities. True to the vision of our founders and elders, our mission remains that of a ‘growing organization in the struggle for the liberation of African peoples.’ This mission is no less relevant today than it was nearly 50 years ago given that Global Black communities still confront an unnerving number of barriers to racial, political, and economic justice as intersected by other forms of oppression. The theme of this 47th Annual Meeting is “Black Power, Black Lives: 50 Years After the March Against Fear.” It pays tribute to a heroic activism, rooted in Mississippi soil, which countered white supremacy and demanded the full recognition of African Americans’ humanity and citizenship rights. This local struggle also continues. While you are here in Jackson, Mississippi, one of the activist headquarters and continuing battlefields for human rights equality, enjoy yourself (eat some catfish, listen to some blues music, and see the sights) but of course take full advantage of all of what our brilliant conference organizers and local arrangements committee have provided. We extend our great thanks for their extreme dedication and hard work! We also extend a warm greeting to all of our guests and a heart-felt thanks to all of our co-sponsors and local partners.
