Harris, Professor of Sociology and Dr. Thomas Janoski, Professor of Sociology Lexington, Kentucky Copyright © Jui-Chang Jao 2012 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION MIDDLE-CLASS CRISIS IN THE COLONIZATION TRANSITION: COMPARING CATALYSTS AND CONSEQUENCES IN TAIWAN, 1988-2008 The Taiwanese middle class has experienced two waves of crisis over the past three decades in the context of a colonization transition involving globalization and democratization as primary catalysts. On the economic front, Taiwan’s economy has become increasingly integrated into the Chinese market, resulting approximately one million of the Taiwanese middle class relocating to China. Moreover, neoliberal economic reforms have led to a downsized state sector of the Taiwanese economy. These economic changes affect the growth and stability of the Taiwanese middle class. Meanwhile, on the political front, an ongoing democratic consolidation and decolonization efforts have brought about significant political changes in Taiwan that have deepened Taiwanese nationalism. While economic and political processes appear to be opposite, however, in reality they have been mutually reinforcing, causing increasingly differentiated middle class. The political economy dynamics conditioned in a colonial context suggest that the swing voters of a differentiated middle class play a pivotal role in determining electoral outcomes, and electoral outcomes reshape the differentiated middle class. KEYWORDS: Third wave democratization, Globalization, Middle class, Colonialism and decolonization, China threat.

My deep gratitude and sincere appreciation are also extended to Dr. Karen A. Mingst and Dr. Matthew McKeever, who served on my dissertation committee, for their valuable suggestions and useful comments. I am also indebted to Dr. Larry Burmeister, my previous dissertation committee chair.

My warm thankfulness and appreciation are also addressed to Dr. Patrick Mooney, the chair of the department of sociology, Dr. Shaunna Scott, the director of graduate study, and other faculty members, for their kindness, encouragement, and support to help me accomplish my academic goal. This dissertation is dedicated in sincere appreciation and gratitude to my parents and sisters. I wish to thank them for providing me a loving environment for me.

    THE BROWN MOMENT IN TAIWAN: MAKING SENSE OF THE LAW AND POLITICS OF THE TAIWANESE SAME-SEX MARRIAGE CASE IN A COMPARATIVE LIGHT Ming-Sung Kuo & Hui-Wen Chen+ The Taiwan Constitutional Court (TCC) recently issued a landmark decision in Interpretation No. 748 (the Same-Sex Marriage Case), declaring the definition of marriage as a gender-differentiated union of a man and a woman under the Civil Code unconstitutional and setting the stage for Taiwan to become the first in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. This decision has been compared to Obergefell v. Hodges. However, reading Obergefell in the broad context of the gay rights movement and the role of judicial review in Taiwanese constitutional politics, we challenge this analogy. Due to the discrepancy between the social movement and the law in the fight for constitutional rights for gays and lesbians in Taiwan, the Same-Sex Marriage Case is Taiwan’s Brown v. Board of Education moment in her constitutional law and politics. To make sense of the law and politics of the Same Sex Marriage Case, we evaluate its political context and the text and style in its reasoning. We observe a discrepancy between law and politics in the pursuit of the constitutional rights of gays and lesbians in Taiwan. The rise of same-sex marriage to the top of the antidiscrimination agenda resulted from the continuous effort of gay rights activists, while the TCC watched this movement from the sidelines until the Same-Sex Marriage Case. This case thus mirrors Brown in two respects. First, the role of the TCC has been publicly questioned after its Brown-like contentious decision on the issue of same-sex marriage.

Dissertation Advisor: Peter A. Hall Noam Gidron Many Ways to be Right: The Unbundling of European Mass Attitudes and Partisan Asymmetries across the Ideological Divide Abstract How do individuals with conflicting attitudes on different issues – those with conservative attitudes on some issues but progressive attitudes on other issues – form their partisan allegiances? In examining this question, my dissertation advances an argument about the asymmetry in European mass attitudes across the left-right divide. I argue that when individuals connect their political attitudes to left-right ideological labels they have many ways to be right – yet mostly one way to be left.

  • The Old and New Democratic Parties 33

The Old and Daddy was a veteran, a southern Democrat. New Democratic They oughta get a rich man to vote like that. Well somebody told us Wall Street fell Parties But we were so poor that we couldn’t tell. Cotton was short and the weeds were tall But Mr. Roosevelt’s agonna save us all. Well momma got sick and daddy got down. The county got the farm and they moved to town. Thomas Byrne Edsall Papa got a job with the TVA. He bought a washing machine and then a Chevrolet. —Bob McDill, “Song of the South,” on Alabama, Southern Star (1989) over the past seventy-plus years, the American progressive tradition has changed radically. In its triumphant years, roughly from 1932 to 1966, a liberal Democratic agenda was developed to expand access to the middle class, to promote international trade, and to deploy gov- ernment spending, all to foster full employment. The New Deal coa- lition was, in its essence, an economically based alliance of the ascendant. The underlying moral premise of the Democratic Party of the Roosevelt era was that government constituted an essential force for the prevention of economic catastrophe and social inequity. Looking back over his first term, Franklin Roosevelt described the role of gov- ernment: We of the Republic sensed the truth that democratic government has innate capacity to protect its people against disasters once con- sidered inevitable, to solve problems once considered unsolvable.

  • Ferguson and Page 2017
    10/20/2017 The Hinge of Fate? Economic and Social Populism in the 2016 Presidential Election A Preliminary Exploration Thomas Ferguson Institute for New Economic Thinking [email protected] Benjamin I. Page Northwestern University [email protected] Prepared for delivery at the INET Conference, Edinburgh, U.K., October 20-23, 2017 The paper represents the views of the authors and not any of the institutions with which they are affiliated. The authors are very grateful to Jacob Rothschild for outstanding research assistance. Support for populism is often attributed to xenophobia, racism, sexism; to anger and resentment at immigrants, racial or ethnic minorities, or “uppity” non- traditional women. According to these accounts, people who feel socially resentful may reject established politicians as favoring those “others” over people like themselves, and turn to outsider populistic leaders. But it is also possible that those who back populist movements or politicians may suffer from real material deprivations: many years of low or stagnant incomes; job losses; inadequate housing or health care; blighted communities; and years of budget cuts (Autor et al., 2016) (Autor et al., 2017) (Storm, 2017) (Temin, 2016) (Monnat and Brown, 2017) . They may blame governments and established politicians for doing little to help. Of course social and economic factors may interact with each other in complicated ways. Anti-immigrant attitudes may reflect fears of job competition as well as cultural anxiety. Economic deprivation may make people susceptible to demagogic scapegoating that blames their troubles on foreigners. Gender and racial stereotypes, too, may be exacerbated by economic suffering – or activated by political appeals.
