Th e goal of this journal is to include research articles and overviews of research agendas and projects by anyone in our community – faculty, graduate and undergraduate students and alumni, as well as students who produce research papers in political science courses. Th e Journal was coordinated by an editorial committee consisting, in alphabetical order, of: Gamze Cavdar, faculty, Karli Hansen, Academic Success Coordinator in Political Science, Matt Hitt, faculty and Undergraduate Coordinator, Sam Houghteling, Program Manager of the John Straayer Center for Public Service Leadership, Brad MacDonald, faculty, Ryan Scott, faculty, and Dimitris Stevis, faculty. Jennifer Hitt, Communications and Alumni Coordinator, has provided valuable publicity amd promotion support and advice. Katie Brown, Editor in Chief of the Journal of Undergraduate Research, did the layout of the Journal, and Hannah Haberecht designed the Journal cover. We want to thank the Chair of our Depart- ment, Dr. Michele Betsill, for her personal support and for the support of the Department. Each submission went through a double blind review process and was accepted only once revisions were satisfactory.
