The introduction of survey research in compara- tive politics had a longlasting impact. Today, public opinion Section Officers research is well-established in every rich and middle income democracy. Nevertheless, the first invasion was largely re- sisted and survey researchers in comparative politics were President Michael Wallerstein marginalized. Twenty years ago, young comparativists were Northwestern University captivated by the sweeping historical-comparative analyses [email protected] of Barrington Moore, Karl Polanyi, Immanuel Wallerstein or Joseph Schumpeter. For a while, it was the Americanists Vice-President, President-Elect turn to be invaded as the comparative-historical approach Michael Wallerstein Northwestern University was applied to the study of politics in the United States by [email protected] Walter Dean Burnham, Theda Skocpol, Stephen Skow- ronek and others.

Economics, rather [email protected] than social psychology, is now the dominant source of im- ported theories and methods. While the standards of statisti- 1999 APSA Program cal work have grown over time, many of the new quantita- Coordinator tive scholars are more concerned with deductive theory- Ellen Comisso University of California, San Diego building than with data analysis. Most importantly, the new [email protected] generation of quantitative comparativists are generally con- cerned with impact of political institutions as opposed to the earlier concern with individual attitudes or class conflict. At-Large Committee Members So what should the response of comparativists be to the Barry Ames new generation of scholars who insist on studying "our" University of Pittsburgh countries in the same way that Americanists study the US [email protected] Congress. The first response should be to celebrate that central fact that makes such an invasion possible, that is the Ian McAllister Australian National University spread of democracy. However one evaluates the function- [email protected] ing of democracy in the US, it is surely a great advance that politics in much of the world is much more similar today to Sidney Tarrow politics in the US than it was twenty five years ago.

I hasten to say that I am not advocating the abandonment of traditional methods of re- search in comparative politics. My argument is that the more varied the research tools in our toolbox, the likelier we 2 APSA-CP Newsletter, Winter 2000 are to have access to the best tool for the particular task we face.

APSA-CP Newsletter, Winter 2000 3 Symposium The New Political Economy of Decentralization and Federalism Introduction Daniel Treisman University of California, Los Angeles [email protected] Political and fiscal decentralization have hit the headlines in recent years. At the turn of the 21st century, it is hard to find a corner of the globe where there are not at least two or three projects un- derway to devolve political or economic authority down to regional or local governments. Re- sponding to these events, research on decentralization and federalism has undergone a remarkable renaissance. For this issue, we asked a number of political scientists and economists to share their thoughts on what recent experience has taught us. The contributions that follow are both

In i addition to Chairman Richard Sisson, Professors Richard Baum, Robert Fried, Douglas Hobbs, Andrzej Korbonski, Charles Nixon, and Ronald Rogowski gave very helpful counsel and suggestions at various stages of the project. Professor Emeritus J.A.C. Grant provided information regarding some of the earlier years. Clare Walker's (Departmental Management Services Officer) knowledge of de­ partmental personnel and its records was invaluable. Becky Carrera (Administra­ tive Assistant) was similarly helpful. Moreover, she put the manuscript on the computer. Barbara Jess (Graduate Counselor) provided the information about the Ph.D. graduates. Vicki Waldman (Undergraduate Counselor) helped with some points about the undergraduates, and James Bondurant (Curriculum Coordinator) supplied enrollment figures. Daniel Rodriguez, an undergraduate research assistant, combed the Law Library references for departmental graduates who serve in the state and federal judiciaries. Dorothy Wells, of the Public Affairs Section of the University Research Library, also provided bibliographic assistance frequently. All their efforts are greatly appreciated. w.w.c. I.

  • 7976-1 Comparative Political Economy (Kim)
    © Wonik Kim POLI 7976 Comparative Political Economy THE POLITICS OF GROWTH AND INEQUALITY IN THE CAPITAL-NATION-STATE Monday 12:00 – 2:50 pm, fall 2015, 0001 Hatcher Hall Wonik Kim, [email protected], 225-578-5354 OH: 12:20 – 1:20 pm on Tuesday and Thursday, or by appointment Stubbs 229, Department of Political Science The leitmotif of this seminar is the politics of growth and inequality in the capitalist system. Traditional political economy studied this topic, by assuming that environments and political institutions are given and neutral with regard to the market allocations; they are there but they do not act. New political economy differs from the traditional approach in its treatment of politics. It accepts that political institutions and their relations to the economy and society are populated by actors who have interests/ideologies/faiths and pursue them. Hence, this course is based on the belief that socioeconomic development is fundamentally a political phenomenon. Another firm belief is that the politics of growth and inequality should be understood in terms of capitalism historically embedded in particular conditions. A warning: political scientists cannot study political economy without knowing some sort of economics, as we cannot study political history without dealing with history. So, we will study economic theories and formulations as well. The first part of the course examines the fundamentals of the capitalist system – the system of “the trinity of the capital-nation-state” (Karatani 2014), by reading Polanyi, Schumpeter, Gramsci, and Marx (mostly as a political observer, not as an economist). The second part provides a critical evaluation (with some methodological comment) of the main theories and empirics of the politics of inequality under the so-called “advanced” capitalist democracies.

  • Philanthropy, Voluntarism, and Nonprofit Organizations
    Institute for Policy Research 2002-2003 • Northwestern University Year in Review Message from the Director As I write this message, I am struck by how much the Institute for Policy Research (IPR) has—and has not changed—since its beginnings 35 years ago. Established as the Center for Urban Affairs in 1968 on the heels of a tumultuous era, IPR’s early activities reflected the national concerns of the times and their explosive urban problems. In the intervening years, our name has changed, our faculty has grown, and our research emphases have Abroadened, but our commitment to the highest standards of academic excellence has not. Thanks to our interdisciplinary focus and our steadfast commitment to excellence, our faculty have continued to combine policy relevance with significant contributions in many academic fields—from economics to sociology and psychology, from political science to law and education. Faculty: Currently, IPR faculty fellows and associates are working on 73 externally funded research projects in one of our eight broadly defined areas (see p. 4). Our commitment to excellence is mirrored by the accolades they receive. Since 2002, for example, we have three faculty who received Fulbrights, five named to chairs, and two members inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. This is in addition to our faculty’s awards for their research, books, and papers (see p. 29). Given their widely regarded expertise, they are also often invited to serve on public committees and task forces, such as the task force for Chicago public schools, the National Research Council’s committee Fay Lomax Cook, Director on illegal drug use, and the U.S.

  • Foreign Sponsorship and the Development of Rebel Parties
    FOREIGN SPONSORSHIP AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF REBEL PARTIES Michael C. Marshall Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2015 APPROVED: John Ishiyama, Major Professor Idean Salehyan, Committee Member Jacqueline DeMeritt, Committee Member T. David Mason, Committee Member Matthew Eshbaugh-Soha, Chair of the Department of Political Science Marshall, Michael C. Foreign Sponsorship and the Development of Rebel Parties. Doctor of Philosophy (Political Science), December 2015, 208 pp., 17 tables, 6 figures, references, 287 titles. This dissertation examines the emergence, survival, performance, and national impact of rebel parties following negotiated settlements. Building on a growing literature examining the environmental and organizational factors affecting insurgent-to-party transformations, this dissertation asks why some insurgent organizations thrive as political parties in post-conflict environments and others fail to make such a transformation. I propose that foreign actors play a pivotal role in the formation of what I call “protégé parties,” which are better equipped to make the transformation into political parties than other rebel groups. Further, different kinds of sponsors have varying effects on transformation. Empirical analysis supports these propositions, finding that protégé parties with authoritarian sponsorship are better equipped to develop than those backed by democracies or no one.
