  • Genopolitics and the Science of Genetics
    American Political Science Review Page 1 of 14 May 2013 doi:10.1017/S0003055413000099 Genopolitics and the Science of Genetics EVAN CHARNEY Duke University WILLIAM ENGLISH Harvard University nanearlierarticlewechallengedthefindingsofFowlerandDawes(FD)thattwogenespredictvoter turnout as part of a more general critique of “genopolitics.” FD now acknowledge that their finding I of a “significant” direct association between MAOA and voting was incorrect, but claim to have replicated their finding of an “indirect” association between 5HTT, self-reported church attendance, and self-reported voting. We show that this finding is likely driven by population stratification and omitted variable bias. We then explain why, from the standpoints of genetics, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology, genopolitics is a fundamentally misguided undertaking; we also respond to FD’s charge that some of our previous statements concerning genetics are “highly misleading,” “extremely disingenuous,” and “even incorrect.” We show that their criticisms demonstrate a lack of awareness of some basic principles in genetics and of discoveries in molecular genetics over the past 50 years. ewouldliketothanktheeditorsofThe Amer- STATISTICS ican Political Science Review for inviting us Wto participate in this Forum by writing a re- Population Stratification sponse (or “rejoinder”) to the articles of Fowler and Dawes and of Deppe, Stoltenberg, Smith, and Hibbing.

  • Endogenous Preferences: the Political Consequences of Economic Institutions
    Endogenous Preferences: The Political Consequences of Economic Institutions Jan-Emmanuel De Neve∗y November 5, 2009 Abstract This paper attempts to explain cross-national voting behavior in 18 West- ern democracies over 1960-2003. A new data set for the median voter is intro- duced that corrects for stochastic error in the statistics from the Comparative Manifesto Project. Next, the paper finds that electoral behavior is closely re- lated to the salience of particular economic institutions. Labour organization, skill specificity, and public sector employment are found to influence individual voting behavior. At the country level, this paper suggests that coordinated market economies move the median voter to the left, whereas liberal market economies move the median voter to the right. The empirical analysis employs cross-sectional and panel data that are instrumented with the level of eco- nomic structure circa 1900 to estimate the net effect of economic institutions on the median voter. Significant results show that revealed voter preferences are endogenous to the economic institutions of the political economy. This paper places political economy at the heart of voting behavior and implies the existence of institutional advantages to partisan politics. Keywords: Comparative Political Economy, Median Voter, Voting Behav- ior, Panel Data, Instrumental Variables JEL Classification Numbers: C23, D72, H5, J24, J51, O57, P51 . ∗London School of Economics and Political Science, Department of Government, Houghton Street, London WC2A 2AE, United Kingdom (email: [email protected]). yFor their time and generous data sharing, the author would like to thank Simon Hix, Jonathan Hopkin, Peter Hall, Torben Iversen, Lane Kenworthy, Duane Swank, Daniel Gingerich, Pepper Culpepper, Piero Stanig, Slava Mikhaylov, Johannes Spinnewijn, and Richard Fording.

  • Social and Psychological Influences on Political Behavior
    Settle – GOVT 401 – S17 Government 401 Professor Jaime Settle Spring Semester, 2017 Tyler Hall 368 T/Th 12:30-1:50 p.m. [email protected] Tyler Hall 113 http://jsettle.blogs.wm.edu/teaching/govt401_s17/ Office Hours: Tuesdays, 2:30- Blackboard Course Website 4:30 p.m., or by appointment Social and Psychological Influences on Political Behavior In this seminar, we will explore in depth the contributions to political behavior stemming from innate differences in biology, exposure to the immediate social environment, and the interaction between these influences. Much of the reading you encounter in this class has been published in the last five years and reflects the new directions—and consequently off-the-beaten-path approaches— undertaken by scholars on the cutting edge of political behavior research. A scan of the reading schedule in this syllabus will give you an idea of the range of topics we will encounter. Our work will be to synthesize the readings to understand the points of consensus, contention, and uncertainty in what we think we know about why and how people think, feel, and act in the political realm. Teaching Philosophy The subject matter of a course serves as a tool to help you develop skills to become a better thinker and communicator. The goals for this course are for you to: Ask good questions. Learning necessitates curiosity. Assess and synthesize information. Use the course material to arrive at informed opinions. Engage in analytical reasoning. Respectfully discuss and deliberate ideas. Communicate effectively. Continue to improve the skills necessary to write or present a clearly argued and well-developed discourse.
