Nearly 2 billion people-- including Americans--will trek to the polls to select their government and make their views known to their political leaders. This marks a dramatic change in recent history. Until very recently the total number of people living in democracies was far smaller than just the number voting in 2004. In the last two decades, citizens from Afghanistan to Indonesia to the states of the former Soviet Empire have embraced democracy.

  • 'For Better and for Worse?': Black Opinion on the U.S. Supreme Court
    ‘For Better and For Worse?’: Black Opinion on the U.S. Supreme Court Since Brown Rosalee A. Clawson1, Katherine Tate2, and Eric N. Waltenburg1 Purdue University1 University of California, Irvine2 Note: This paper was prepared for delivery at the research workshop entitled, “America’s Second Revolution: The Path to – and from – Brown v. Board of Education,” held at the University of Memphis’s Benjamin L. Hooks Institute for Social Change, March 12-14, 2004. The authors’ names are presented in alphabetical order. The authors gratefully acknowledge the financial support that they received from the Law and Social Sciences Program of the National Science Foundation (#SES-0331509). Rosalee Clawson and Eric Waltenburg also wish to acknowledge the support that they received for this project from their academic institution, Purdue University, while Katherine Tate acknowledges the support she has received for this study from the Center for the Study of Democracy at UC Irvine. Comments and suggestions can be directed to Rosalee Clawson via email at [email protected]. 2 As the third branch of the federal government, the Supreme Court is frequently characterized as the defender of minority rights over majority power. Yet, this has not always been the case in the arena of racial politics. Indeed, throughout much of its history, the Supreme Court has protected the rights of the White majority against the claims for legal and political equality of Blacks. For example, in the Civil Rights Cases1 of 1883, the Court undercut and effectively reversed the efforts of the Reconstruction Congress to ensure that Blacks would enjoy their full and equal rights as promised them by the Fourteenth Amendment.

    st 51 ANNUAL MEETING Program Co-Chairs: Dr. Keesha M. Middlemass, Howard University Dr. Domingo Morel, Rutgers-Newark University N Black Politics & the “WAR” on C Blackness O B P S MARCH 11-14, 2020 Atlanta, GA BLACK POLITICS AND THE “WAR” ON BLACKNESS In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared a “War on Poverty,” and nearly 50 years have passed since President Nixon declared a “War on Drugs.” What are the implications of these “wars” on Black citizens, Black communities, Black bodies, and Black politics? The conference theme, Black Politics and the “War” on Blackness, examines how the study of Black politics can assess the intended and unintended effects of “war” on contemporary issues, such as policing, criminal justice, healthcare, international relations, comparative politics, and more. The word “war” has been used to problematize social problems and also indicates the power of the state to disapprove and reject “others.” War is also a powerful symbol that represents aggressive competition, armed combat, international hostilities, and rivalry between two opposing sides that are in conflict over a set of values, morals, principles or tenets. Punitive policies are allowed to flourish as society uses the word “war” as a metaphor that has allowed the government to unleash its resources to defeat the “enemy;” in many instances the explicit enemy is Blackness, Black bodies, Black politics, and Black experiences. As a result, “war” is a policy decision that spawns a number of related laws, strategies, and rules to harness and control Black bodies. This call for papers, roundtables, and other submissions provides the context for the 51st Annual Meeting of the National Conference of Black Politics.

  • Essays on Racial Ingroup Bias in Political Judgments Dissertation
    Responding to Failure: Essays on Racial Ingroup Bias in Political Judgments Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Nyron N. Crawford, M.A. Graduate Program in Political Science The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Kathleen M. McGraw, Advisor Ismail K. White, Advisor Wendy G. Smooth Thomas E. Nelson Copyright by Nyron N. Crawford 2014 Abstract In this dissertation, I use data collected from three experiments to examine the dynamics of racial ingroup bias. In particular, I look at the extent to which same-race politicians are either sanctioned or protected when they are linked to negative political events. I examine how different scenarios, or failure events, could have an impact on ingroup members’ judgments of a same-race elected official. In the first empirical chapter, I use an experiment to test the effects of an incumbent mayor’s race and the condition of his city on judgments of accountability for the incumbent (and candidates in an upcoming election). The second empirical chapter examines this bias in the context of an alleged scandal (i.e., sexual infidelity, financial impropriety), and considers whether socially reprehensible transgressions can be politically damaging, insofar as they preclude the accused elected official from the benefits of their group’s protection. Finally, the third empirical chapter experimentally explores the limits of black racial group loyalty as it relates to marginalized subgroups and subtypes of African Americans. Specifically, it investigates whether non-protypical black officials (i.e., female, homosexual, Republican) of the ingroup benefit similarly from ingroup bias when they are linked to a negative political event.

  • Seminar on Race and American Politics
    PLSC 597-004: Seminar on Race and American Politics Ray Block Jr. Fall Semester, 2020 E-mail: [email protected] Web: https://polisci.la.psu.edu/people/ray-block Office Hours: T/Th 10:00AM -11:45AM Class Hours: M 9:00AM - 12:00PM Office: 308 Pond Laboratory Class Room: Not applicable (we meet via Zoom) Course Description Politics is about “who gets what, when, [where], and how” (Lasswell 1951). In this course, we will consider the role of race in who gets what, when, where, and how. We will begin by surveying the historical contexts of racial politics in the United States. In so doing, we will acknowledge that race can be (and often is) political. From this foundation, we will examine the various controversies that surround the role of race in American society and politics. These controversies, or “issues,” affect public opinion, political institutions, political behavior, and salient public policy debates. Although focusing principally on matters relating to African Americans, where possible and appropriate, we will also make comparisons with other racial/ethnic groups. Learning Objectives Overall, I want students to appreciate that American politics fundamentally doesn’t make sense without explicitly considering race. As students will see below, there are several broad themes guiding this course. Mainly, we will explore what race is, why it matters, and how it shapes attitudes, behaviors, policies, and institutions. My goals for the course include, but are not limited to, helping students cultivate: 1. a strong substantive understanding of how race influences (and is shaped by) the American political system; 2.
