Goldsmith 2018 Abstract This dissertation shows how an array of policymakers, invested in uprooting an unequal political economy descended from the plantation system and Jim Crow, gravitated to education as a centerpiece of development strategy, and why so many are still disappointed in its outcomes. By looking at state-wide policymaking in North Carolina and policy effects in the state’s black belt counties, this study shows why the civil rights movement was vital for shifting state policy in former Jim Crow states towards greater investment in human resources. By breaking down employment barriers to African Americans and opening up the South to new people and ideas, the civil rights movement fostered a new climate for economic policymaking, and a new ecosystem of organizations flourished to promote equitable growth.

THE DEMOCRACY PRINCIPLE IN STATE CONSTITUTIONS Jessica Bulman-Pozen*& Miriam Seifter** In recent years, antidemocratic behavior has rippled across the nation. Lame- duck state legislatures have stripped popularly elected governors of their pow- ers; extreme partisan gerrymanders have warped representative institutions; state officials have nullified popularly adopted initiatives. The federal Consti- tution offers few resources to address these problems, and ballot-box solutions cannot work when antidemocratic actions undermine elections themselves. Commentators increasingly decry the rule of the many by the few. This Article argues that a vital response has been neglected. State constitu- tions embody a deep commitment to democracy. Unlike the federal Constitu- tion, they were drafted—and have been repeatedly rewritten and amended— to empower popular majorities.

  • The Department of the Secretary of State: Which Way Now?
    The Department of the Secretary of State: Which Way Now? by Jack Betts North Carolina's Secretary of State is a relatively anemic state office-though few North Carolinians may realize it. The state's office has fewer than half the formal powers that most other such offices have, lacking such responsibilities as handling elections, publishing adminis- trative rules, and policing campaign finance reports. In 1988, North Carolina elected the first new Secretary of State in more than half a century. With a new incumbent, is it time to consider whether the duties of the office should be expanded and upgraded? What duties, if any, ought to be grist for this mill? rennium out, right up until 1988 when he chose to Carolina's office of Secretary of State retire.
