  • This Series Is Hosted by a Young Harris Alumnus, Bob Short, Class of 1951
    Zell Miller interviewed by Bob Short 2006 October 24 Young Harris, GA Reflections on Georgia Politics ROGP-000-03 Original: video, 104 minutes sponsored by: Richard B. Russell Library for Political Research and Studies University of Georgia Libraries and Young Harris College MODERATOR: This series is hosted by a Young Harris alumnus, Bob Short, class of 1951. Today’s guest is certainly no stranger to this campus or this community. Senator Zell Miller is living proof that you can go anywhere from Young Harris College. But with all the places that he’s gone, he has never really left this institution. He remains a part of it; he remains the heart and soul of it. And it is always a pleasure and an honor to welcome him back home. I would like to tell you that at the end of the program, if you would like to purchase any of Senator Miller’s books, they’re available at the campus bookstore across the plaza. The forum this afternoon will feature approximately an hour of Mr. Short conversing with Senator Miller and asking questions. There will be time for questions and answers from the audience at the end of this portion, so please, if you have questions, hold them until then. Finally, I would like to invite you all back to the Thursday, November 2nd conversation with former Governor Joe Frank Harris, and the Thursday, November 16th conversation with former Governor Roy Barnes. Both sessions will be held in the Wilson Lecture Hall in the Goolsby Center, and both will start at 3:15 pm.

Ph.D. in Political Science awarded April, 2000 Dissertation The Onset and Escalation of Regime Claims in the Western Hemisphere, 1816-1992 Chair: Will H. Moore In my dissertation, I analyze the motivations behind a country's decision to call for the removal of another state's government, a serious challenge to state sovereignty and non-intervention principles. I construct a model explaining the initiation and escalation of these “regime claims” in the Americas. I find that states are motivated by two factors: (1) threats to an otherwise acceptable status quo, and (2) the opportunity to improve an unacceptable set of bilateral relations. Additionally, countries calculate the probability that they can oust another leader with a claim or militariZed action. I use logistic regression techniques to test a series of hypotheses derived from this theoretical model, finding that threats and opportunities drive claim initiation, but evaluations of the probability for success determine whether countries militariZe such claims.

  • Georgia's Governor's Mansion
    THE GEORGIA GOVERNOR’S MANSION: A BUCKHEAD LANDMARK By W. Wright Mitchell If you have ever given directions to a location on West Paces Ferry Road, chances are it went something like this, “Well, you pass the Governor’s Mansion and . .” The Governor’s Mansion is a Buckhead landmark, but few people seem to know that it also houses one of the nation’s finest collections of Federalist Period Antiques. Or that the library contains numerous first edition books written by Georgia authors, including a signed copy of Gone with the Wind. Since the Georgia capital moved to Atlanta from Milledgeville in 1868, Georgia’s governors have resided in three “official” residences. The first residence was located downtown at the corner of present day Peachtree and Cain streets. Over time, however, the building deteriorated and was eventually demolished in 1923 to make room for the Henry Grady Hotel. The Westin Peachtree Plaza now stands on the former location of this residence. In 1925, the state purchased the home of Edwin P. Ansley on The Prado in Ansley Park to be used as a Governor’s residence. The Prado Mansion was never particularly popular, however, and was described by two different legislatures as a “cold, gray, austere, medieval structure.” Therefore, in 1961 the state established an eleven member committee, led by Secretary of State Ben Fortson, Jr., to examine the need for a new mansion. In 1962, the General Assembly extended the life of Fortson’s committee and created the State Office Building Authority, which was vested with authority to build the 754992.1 new mansion.
