Political Science 190.607 Comparative Racial Politics Fall 2011 Johns Hopkins University Tuesdays 1-2:50Pm Mergenthaler 366 Political Science 190.607 Comparative Racial Politics Fall 2011 Johns Hopkins University Tuesdays 1-2:50pm Mergenthaler 366 Professor Erin Aeran Chung Office: 365 Mergenthaler Hall Phone: 410-516-4496 Email: [email protected] Office hours: Mondays 1:30-2:30pm and by appointment COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course surveys the major trends and approaches to the comparative study of race in political science and critically examines the link between race and politics. The goals of the course are two-fold. First, we will investigate how the study of race is linked to some of the classic preoccupations of comparative political science, such as capitalist development, state formation, and nationalism. Second, we will explore how race “works” and how it is made and remade over time and across space. We thus seek to understand how the ideologies of race and racism connect disparate peoples, regimes, institutions, and national mythologies. Topics will include race and state formation, citizenship and national membership, immigration, racial regimes, and the political economy of race. PREREQUISITES: This course is open to graduate students only. COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND EVALUATION: Participation and Discussion (30%), 2 short essays (15% each), Research Paper (40%) Because this seminar is based primarily on peer-led discussions, regular attendance and active participation are essential. All students must complete the assigned readings before coming to class and prepare ideas for debate, discussion, or interpretation. Students will write 2 short essays (approximately 3 pages double-spaced)—to be circulated via email to other seminar members at least one day before the seminar—that includes a brief discussion of the key debates and issues brought up in the designated week’s readings as well as a short critique. Please do not use these essays to summarize the readings. Those who are signed up to submit an essay for a particular session are expected to give a short presentation at the beginning of class (approximately 10-15 minutes) based on their essays. Those who are not presenting must circulate 1-2 discussion questions for the seminar session at least one day before the seminar. Finally, students are required to write a long paper, approximately 20 pages in length (double-spaced), to be submitted by Thursday, December 8, by 4pm in the Political Science department. Paper proposals—either a 1 page outline or abstract—will be due on the fifth week of class (September 27). Rough drafts of the papers must be circulated to all seminar members via email by Monday, November 28. Students will present their papers during the final seminar Pol Sci 190.607 2 session for approximately 10 minutes each. Members of Nathan Connolly’s seminar on “Racial Literacy for Historians” will join us for this final session, which will be organized as a “mini- conference.” Feedback, criticism, and discussion by all seminar participants will follow the presentations. All seminar members are expected to read and prepare comments for each paper to be presented in class.

  • Romanies in Italy: from National ‘Emergency’ to National ‘Strategy’ in Rome’S Campi Nomadi
    Romanies in Italy: From National ‘Emergency’ to National ‘Strategy’ in Rome’s Campi Nomadi Riccardo Armillei Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Swinburne Institute for Social Research Faculty of Health, Arts and Design Swinburne University of Technology 2015 Abstract This dissertation deals with the social exclusion of Romanies in Italy. Based on interviews with Romani individuals, institutional and Civil Society Organisations’ (CSOs) representatives, participant observation and a broad range of secondary sources, the thesis focuses on the condition of those living in ‘ campi nomadi’ (nomad camps) and on the recent implementation of a state of emergency, the so-called ‘ Emergenza Nomadi’ (Nomad Emergency). The enactment of this extraordinary measure concealed the existence of a long-established institutional tradition of racism and control directed at Romanies. It was not the result of a sudden, unexpected situation which required an immediate action, as the declaration of an ‘emergency’ might imply, but rather of a precise government strategy. The extreme poverty of the ‘Romanies of the camps’ should be understood as the result of a protracted institutional immobility and political vacuum, which has basically created the ‘emergency’ and the premises for the implementation of a ‘state of exception’. Specifically, the present study focuses on the city of Rome, where the author conducted fieldwork in 2011 and 2012, and provides an investigation of the interactions between Romanies, local institutions and Third Sector organisations. It finds that national and local institutions and their sub-contracted agents have failed to promote the social inclusion of this minority group.

Voting Rights as an American Nationalities Policy Pamela S. Karlant One of the salient characteristics of contemporary global politics is the disintegration of empires and multiethnic nation- states and the resurgence of separatism. The breakup of the Soviet Union, the breakdown of Yugoslavia, tribal warfare in Africa, and the emergence of separatist political parties in West- ern democracies such as Italy and Canada occupy the political foreground. One of the urgent questions of political structure is how multiethnic nations respond to these nationalist and sepa- ratist impulses. My argument in this Article is that the voting-rights system is a key element in the American response. I begin by describing how the Voting Rights Act and much of its case law use a vocab- ulary that draws sharp ethnic and territorial distinctions. Not only does voting-rights law use the language of separation, it also employs an apparently separatist practice of allocating voters among territorially defined voting districts.

  • The Consociational Theory and Challenges to Democratization in South Caucasus Plural Societies
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 9, ISSUE 01, JANUARY 2020 ISSN 2277-8616 The Consociational Theory And Challenges To Democratization In South Caucasus Plural Societies Emil Ordukhanyan Abstract : The South Caucasus region is quite diverse in its cultural, ethnic, civilization, religious and social structure. At the same time after the collapse of the Soviet Union, emerged numerous internal conflicts significantly hindered the democratization process in the region. The quarter-century post-Soviet experience shows that with some differences mainly pseudo-democratic or even autocratic regimes are established in South Caucasus countries. Many researches affirm that in plural societies of Azerbaijan and Georgia ethnocratic elements are also observed. In these countries the influence of dominant ethnic groups over other ethnicities not explicitly are encouraged by authorities. Local researchers often explain this situation by the transitional period. However, other numerous studies show that in these countries ethnic-based governments aspire to be strengthened. Therefore, these countries could not lead to a fully democratic transition, and in result, they will be able to build ethnic democracies or authoritarian regimes. In this case, the cultural, religious and linguistic identity of subordinate ethnicities will be in danger. To prevent such possible developments, the article explores the idea of cultural relativism as opposition to the ethnocentrism. The cultural relativism treats all ethnic segments of the same plural society as equal. And in this case, the most relevant model of democracy can be the consociational model which continues to be successfully used for decades in many plural European states such as Netherlands, Belgium, etc. The article argues that in South Caucasus plural states the consociational discourse can be a real tool to build a democratic political culture.

  • Racial Representation and Leadership at International Organizations
    Racial Representation and Leadership at International Organizations Wilfred Chow, University of Hong Kong Enze Han, University of Hong Kong Xiaojun Li, University of British Columbia Abstract This paper uses a survey experiment to identify the effects of race on people’s perceptions of job performance at the leadership level of the United Nations, employing a hypothetical scenario that involves sexual exploitation and abuses by UN peacekeepers. We find a consistent and statistically significant positive result for the East Asian leader, who was least likely to be punished for UN reform failure and was perceived to be more ethical, more competent, more trustworthy, less selfish, and less ruthless than the African or Caucasian leaders. These findings push us to consider how much race and racial politics affect representation at international organizations, and the wider implications of these effects for understanding the evolution of the international order. 1 Introduction In contemporary mainstream international relations (IR) literature, race has not featured prominently as a variable to explain the functioning of the international system. This is somewhat peculiar given that in the early decades of the 20th century, the “race question” was front and center in IR scholarship, in the sense of how the European powers ought to deal with the “colored” people of the colonized world. W.E.B. Du Bois predicted that the global “color line” would become one of the world’s biggest challenges (Du Bois 1961; Karenga 2003). At that time, international relations between countries as well as between people of European descent and the rest of the world were almost exclusively framed in racial and civilizational terms (Vitalis 2015).

Riley III ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Scholars examining black political representation have focused on the degree to which African American politicians can impact the everyday living conditions of African Americans. Despite years of African American political representation within the United States House of Representatives, political scientists have devoted very little scholarship to examining how whites react to African American leadership. Given that African Americans remain under represented in government and current legal challenges threaten the future of minority majority districts, it is important to gain better insight into how black representation might impact the white community.

  • American Politics Major Field Exam, Spring 2021
    American Politics Major Field Exam, Spring 2021 Please number your pages continuously and ensure that your name is on each page. Part I: General (Morning) Questions Answer one of the following two questions. Please indicate the question number at the beginning of your answer. 1. Scholars and political commentators frequently assert that the electorate is polarized, with distinct ideological camps in disagreement about the nation’s most pressing political problems and how to solve them. How do political scientists explain the emergence and persistence of political polarization in the electorate? What are the consequences of political polarization for (1) citizens’ participation in politics, (2) electoral politics, (3) national policymaking, and (4) filling vacancies in government? To what extent can these consequences be overcome by unified party control of the national government? Provide both references to literature and examples from contemporary American politics. 2. The system of separation of powers/checks and balances informs much of what we think about in American politics, including the choices of both political actors and institutions. Consider how this system constrains the choices made by the three branches of government, and the literature on interactions between the branches. Choose two branches of government (e.g. Courts and Congress, Congress and the Executive, or Courts and the Executive) and respond to the central questions raised in this literature: Why (or why not) would we expect one branch of government to constrain the other, and vice-versa? To what extent do the branches, in reality, meet these expectations? Consider both political powers as well as political preferences of the branches of government—and how they matter—when answering this question.

  • The Emergence of Racial Politics in South Africa: Lessons for Peacebuilding ______
    The Emergence of Racial Politics in South Africa: Lessons for Peacebuilding _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Geoffrey Macdonald Ph.D. Candidate, International Studies Josef Korbel School of International Studies University of Denver Entry to the Case Studies in Peacebuilding Competition 2012 United States Institute of Peace Introduction At first glance, South Africa appears to be a remarkable success story. Inclusive institutions and democratic elections have replaced over four decades of race-based social, economic, and political structures. Racial tensions and violence have been dramatically reduced. After apartheid, South Africa chose a functionally single-district proportional representation electoral system1 and a federal executive structure to distribute power both racially and regionally. This was done to maximize inclusiveness at the national and provincial levels of government and prevent ‘spoiler’ politics. Indeed, overtly racial political parties have struggled in South Africa, while the main parties are broadly multiracial. However, a closer examination of South African elections shows the gradual emergence of racial politics. As multiracial opposition parties (specifically the Democratic Alliance) gain strength, the ruling African National Congress (ANC) has responded by escalating its racial appeals through divisive election rhetoric, filling its party lists with more black candidates, and disproportionately targeting black voters with campaign advertising. This represents a dangerous trend for South African politics, one driven by historical conditions and demographic realities that combine with an institutional arrangement to incentivize racial politics over time. The South African case demonstrates the importance of considering the long-term interaction effects of historical, social, and demographic factors on institutional outcomes. This case study will first outline the background and key actors of South Africa’s conflict.
