Draft of Topic Outline for Politicl Participation In Carleton University Department of Political Science PSCI 4107A POLITICAL PARTICIPATION IN CANADA Please confirm location on Carleton Central Winter Term, 2012 Instructor: Professor Jon H. Pammett Office: D689LA Phone: 520-2600, ext 2793 Email: [email protected] Class: Thursday 11:35-2:25 Office Hours: Wednesday and Friday 10-11:30 Thursday 9:30-11:30 This course examines the causes and consequences of individual participation in politics in Canada and elsewhere. It includes participation in political parties, groups, and movements, as well as electoral and protest participation. It examines social resources, attitudes, mobilization, generations, and gender, as these factors affect participation. It gives consideration to theoretical approaches to democracy, citizenship, representation, and social capital. Course arrangements and requirements Essay: 50% of grade. (expected length, 20 pages) Topics to choose from: a) A paper involving data analysis of a selected topic in Canadian or comparative participation, using a dataset chosen in cooperation with the instructor. b) A comparison of Canada and a country chosen with the instructor, investigating the extent and types of electoral and/or nonelectoral participation and relevant factors affecting that participation. c) An in-depth analysis of a Canadian Royal (or other) Commission, part of whose mandate was to encourage public participation or consultation, with a view to evaluating how successful it was in doing so. The B & B commission, Status of Women commission, 2 Macdonald commissions, and the Aboriginal Peoples’ commission have submissions available. Other commissions such as the Spicer commission; the Lortie commission; the Pepin-Robarts commission and the Romanow commission are more difficult to locate. The BC, Ontario, New Brunswick or PEI consultations on electoral reform are available on-line. Students choosing this topic are particularly advised to get an early start and to consult the documents division of the library. d) An examination of the impact of one or more factors on the rate or nature of participation, for example social resources, public attitudes, age and generations, gender, mobilization. e) An examination of participation in one or more political organizations, groups, or movements. Essay topics must be approved by March 1, 2012. Essays are due on April 5, 2012 before 4 p.m. Late papers will be accepted on April 9, 2012, before 4 pm, with a penalty of one grade point (e.g. B paper receives B- grade). Papers will not be accepted after that date. Class assignments: 6 short (3 page) ‘reaction/evaluation papers’, using items from 6 of the 12 weeks’ reading, to be handed in at the beginning of that class. Students will be expected to bring the content of the paper into the discussion during the class. Marks will be related to the amount of material covered, as well as the quality of analysis; those choosing to review short articles are advised to include more than one. You may include your own opinions of the reading. If more than 6 papers are handed in, the best 6 grades will be counted toward the final grade. If a paper is handed in without the student attending the class, mark for the paper will be reduced by half. (5 marks times 6=30% of grade.) Class participation: (2 marks times 10 classes=20% of grade) Participation is expected, especially when a short paper is being handed in. Marks will be assigned as: .5 for attendance only; 1 for some participation; 1.5 for good participation; 2 for exceptional. If more than 10 classes are attended, the best 10 marks will be used toward the final grade. Please note that attendance at half the class means that the above marking scheme will be pro-rated out of 1 rather than 2. ®= Books on Library reserve for this or other courses (usually 1 day).

  • The Politics of Group Representation Quotas for Women and Minorities Worldwide Mona Lena Krook and Diana Z
    The Politics of Group Representation Quotas for Women and Minorities Worldwide Mona Lena Krook and Diana Z. O’Brien In recent years a growing number of countries have established quotas to increase the representation of women and minorities in electoral politics. Policies for women exist in more than one hundred countries. Individual political parties have adopted many of these provisions, but more than half involve legal or constitutional reforms requiring that all parties select a certain proportion of female candidates.1 Policies for minorities are present in more than thirty countries.2 These measures typically set aside seats that other groups are ineligible to contest. Despite parallels in their forms and goals, empirical studies on quotas for each group have developed largely in iso- lation from one another. The absence of comparative analysis is striking, given that many normative arguments address women and minorities together. Further, scholars often generalize from the experiences of one group to make claims about the other. The intuition behind these analogies is that women and minorities have been similarly excluded based on ascriptive characteristics like sex and ethnicity. Concerned that these dynamics undermine basic democratic values of inclusion, many argue that the participation of these groups should be actively promoted as a means to reverse these historical trends. This article examines these assumptions to explore their leverage in explaining the quota policies implemented in national parliaments around the world. It begins by out- lining three normative arguments to justify such measures, which are transformed into three hypotheses for empirical investigation: (1) both women and minorities will re- ceive representational guarantees, (2) women or minorities will receive guarantees, and (3) women will receive guarantees in some countries, while minorities will receive them in others.

None of these more recently recognized forms meets the criteria for democratic accountability developed for promissory representation, yet each generates a set of normative criteria by which it can be judged. These criteria are systemic, in contrast to the dyadic criteria appropriate for promissory representation. They are deliberative rather than aggregative.

In recent years the appearance of many excellent books and articles has reminded us of the timeless appeal of the subject and of the need in political analysis to ac- count for values and beliefs. To what extent, though, does the current batch of studies in political culture suffer from the difficulties that plagued those of an earlier time? The recent resurgence of interest in political culture suggests the importance of assessing the relative merits of the different approaches that theorists employ. ESTABLISHING EVALUATIVE CRITERIA The earliest definitions of political culture noted the embedding of po- litical systems in sets of meanings and purposes, specifically in symbols, myths, beliefs, and values.1 Pye later enlarged upon this theme, stating 1 Sidney Verba, “Comparative Political Culture,” in Lucian W.

You should be able to assess the state of a scholarly literature, identify interesting questions, formulate strategies for answering them, have the methodological tools with which to conduct the research, and understand how to write up the results so they can be published. Although most graduate level courses address these issues indirectly, we provide an explicit analysis of each. We do this in the context of a variety of strategies of empirical political inquiry. Our examples cover American politics, international relations, compara- tive politics, and other subfields of political science that rely on empirical evidence. We do not address certain research in political theory for which empirical evidence is not central, but our methodological emphases will be as varied as our substantive examples. We take empirical evidence to be historical, quantitative, or anthropological. Specific methodolo- gies include survey research, experiments, non-experiments, intensive interviews, statistical analyses, case studies, and participant observation. Assignments Weekly reading assignments are listed below. Since our classes are largely participatory, be sure to complete the readings prior to the class for which they are as- signed.

Political Order and Political Decay THE POLITICAL GAP The most important political distinction among countries con­ i cerns not their form of government but their degree of govern­ ment. The differences between democracy and dictatorship are less i than the differences between those countries whose politics em­ , bodies consensus, community, legitimacy, organization, effective­ ness, stability, and those countries whose politics is deficient in these qualities. Communist totalitarian states and Western liberal .states both belong generally in the category of effective rather than debile political systems. The United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union have different forms of government, but in all three systems the government governs.

  • Hasidic Public Schools in Kiryas Joel
    The Draw and Drawbacks of Religious Enclaves in a Constitutional Democracy: Hasidic Public Schools in Kiryas Joel JUDITH LYNN FAILER' INTRODUCTION Recent work in political and constitutional studies has celebrated the salutary effects of robust civil societies for democracies.' Robert Putnam, for example, has described how Italian communities with stronger civic traditions have political leaders who are less "elitist" and are "more enthusiastic supporters of political equality" while their citizens' political involvement is characterized by "greater social trust and greater confidence in the law-abidingness of their fellow citizens than... citizens in the least civic regions."' William Galston makes a case for how civic organizations in civil society can foster the development of liberal virtues Jean L. Cohen and Andrew Arato have argued that civil society is "the primary locus for the potential expansion of democracy under 'really existing' liberal-democratic regimes." 4 * Assistant Professor of Political Science and American Studies, Indiana University-Bloomington. Prepared for presentation at a symposium on Civil Society, Indiana University School of Law, March 29, 1996. Thank you to Fred Aman and Steve Conrad for their generous invitation. I am grateful to Jane Mansbridge for helping me think through the ways by which Kiryas Joel poses particular challenges in democratic theory as an enclave group. Thank you also to Mark Brandon, Dana Chabot, David Orentlicher, and Jean Robinson for helpful conversations in preparation of this article, and to Jeffrey Isaac and Sanford Levinson for their suggestions for revisions. 1. For the purposes of this paper, Iam following John Gray's definition of "civil society" as "that sphere of autonomous institutions, protected by a rule of law, within which individuals and communities possessing divergent values and beliefs may coexist in peace."
