  • The Tea Party: a Party Within a Party a Dissertation Submitted to The
    The Tea Party: A Party Within a Party A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Rachel Marie Blum, M.A. Washington, DC March 22, 2016 Copyright c 2016 by Rachel Marie Blum All Rights Reserved ii The Tea Party: A Party Within a Party Rachel Marie Blum, M.A. Dissertation Advisor: Hans Noel, Ph.D. Abstract It is little surprise that conservatives were politically disaffected in early 2009, or that highly conservative individuals mobilized as a political movement to protest ‘big government’ and Obama’s election. Rather than merely directing its animus against liberals, the Tea Party mobilized against the Republican Party in primaries and beyond. This dissertation draws from original survey, interview, Tea Party blog, and social network datasets to explain the Tea Party’s strategy for mobilization as a ‘Party within a Party’. Integrating new data on the Tea Party with existing theories of political parties, I show that the Tea Party’s strategy transcends the focused aims of a party faction. Instead, it works to co-opt the Republican Party’s political and electoral machinery in order to gain control of the party. This dissertation offers new insights on the Tea Party while developing a theory of intra-party mobilization that endures beyond the Tea Party. Index words: Dissertations, Government, Political Science, Political Parties, Tea Party iii Dedication To M.L.B., and all others who are stronger than they know.

  • The Forgotten Encyclopedia
    Linn Holmberg Linn Holmberg In mid-eighteenth-century Paris, two young monks from the Benedictine Congregation of Saint-Maur – also known as the Maurists – started compil- ing a universal dictionary of arts, crafts, and sciences. The work was initiated simultaneously with what would become one of the most famous literary enterprises in Western intellectual history: the Encyclopédie of Diderot and d’Alembert. While the dictionary of the philosophes eventually turned into Encyclopedia Forgotten The a controversial but successful best-seller, considered as the most important medium of Enlightenment thought, the Benedictines never finished or pub- lished their work. After almost a decade, the manuscripts were put aside in the monastery library, and were soon forgotten. This dissertation explores the history and contents of the Maurists’ enter- prise. The project is situated within its monastic environment of production, the history of the encyclopedic dictionary, and the Enlightenment culture. The study shows that the Maurists early found themselves in a rival situation with the embryonic Encyclopédie, and that the two projects had several com- mon denominators that distinguished them from the predecessors within the genre. At the same time, the Maurists were making a dictionary unique in the eighteenth century. The study provides new perspectives on the Encyclopédie of Diderot and d’Alembert, the intellectual activities of the Congregation of Saint-Maur, as well as the editor in charge of the Maurist dictionary: Dom Antoine-Joseph Pernety,
