Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Where Can PPE Take You? By facilitating a multidisciplinary approach to practical problems, the PPE major offers a liberal arts education that prepares students for leadership roles in a variety of fields. The major prepares students for careers in public policy and business. It is a good preparation for law school and for a variety of graduate programs in the humanities and social sciences. Moreover, it helps students become PHILOSOPHY, informed and engaged citizens.

THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE OF JURIS- PRUDENCE IN THE UNITED STATES EDWARD JAMES WOODHOUSE* Ignorance of Jurisprudence is one of the greatest weaknesses of this Nation. Jurisprudence is the Science of Law. All students of Jurisprudence are in as complete agreement on this general definition of their subject as they and all others using the terms are in disagree- ment and uncertainty in answering the next questions, namely, what is science and what is law. Workers in the Natural Sciences, espe- cially in those known as the Experimental or Laboratory Sciences, have resented and protested the use of the term Social Sciences to designate History, Economics, Political Science or Government or Politics, Sociology and allied studies, and have insisted upon known laws, certain and susceptible of objective and mathematical proof, predictability, possibility of experimentation or other characteristics as necessary to a real science.

Another major issue in open-economy macroeconomics is sovereign Macroeconomics debt, that is, the debt owed by a government to foreign creditors. hsucs of sovereign debt arc substantially different than those concerning nonsovereign debt and arc inherently political. For example, since it is oWed by the government, repayment decisions are not connectcd with any question of the ability to repay. With few exceptions, a borrower country has the technical ability to repay the debt, so that non-repayment is a ALLAN DRAZEN political issue. In Section 12.8, we analyze basic models of sovereign ,c,, borrowing and its repayment, especially the role of penalties in enforcing repayment.

Foreign assistance is inherently political for a number of reasons. First, the incentives of the donors may be political, not only in the obvious sense that aid is often given for strategic political reasons, but also because the nature of aid (and Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data especially its ineffectiveness) often reflects political and bureaucratic con­ flicts within the donor organizations.

Political economy makes explicit linkages between political, economic and social factors. It is concerned with how politics can influence the economy. It looks at the access to, and distribution of wealth and power in order to understand why, by whom, and for whom certain decisions are taken, and how they affect societies – politically, economically and socially. It combines different sets of academic disciplines, most notably political science, economy and sociology, but also law, history and other disciplines. By using feminist political economy, WILPF seeks to understand the broader context of war and post-conflict recovery, and to deconstruct seemingly fixed and unchangeable economic, social, and political parameters.

  • The Political Economy of Adjustment and Rebalancing
    May 2014 The Political Economy of Adjustment and Rebalancing Jeffry Frieden Department of Government Harvard University This essay is based on an address to the JIMF-USC Conference on Financial Adjustment in the Aftermath of the Global Crisis, Los Angeles, April 18-19, 2014. The author thanks Joshua Aizenman, Lawrence Broz, Menzie Chinn, Dani Rodrik, Kenneth Rogoff, Francesco Trebbi, and Stefanie Walter for very helpful comments and suggestions. 2 The world’s recovery from the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) was extraordinarily slow and difficult. In the United States, it took some fifty months for employment to return to pre-crisis levels. This contrasts dramatically with the norm in American recessions: since the 1930s, employment has on average taken about ten months to return to pre-recession levels. 1 Output, similarly, regained its pre-crisis levels far more slowly than in other post-Depression recessions. And five years after the crisis began, median household income was still over 8 percent below its pre-crisis level. 2 Recovery in Europe was even slower and more difficult. The region fell into a second recession soon after the first one ended; unemployment soared in many countries, and has remained extremely high for a very long time. The painful recovery was due in part to the severity of the crisis itself. The Global Financial Crisis was, after all, the longest downturn since the 1940s, and the steepest 1 Employment reached pre-recession levels in May 2014.

POLITICAL JURISPRUDENCE MARTIN LOUGHLIN I: INTRODUCTION Political jurisprudence is a discipline that explains the way in which governmental authority is constituted. It flourished within European thought in the period between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries and since the twentieth century has been in decline. That decline, attributable mainly to an extending rationalization of life and thought, has led to governmental authority increasingly being expressed in technical terms. And because many of the implications of this development have been masked by the growth of an academic disciplinary specialization that sacrifices breadth of understanding for depth of knowledge, sustaining the discipline has proved difficult.

  • Testing Civics: State-Level Civic Education Requirements and Political Knowledge

Niemi Department of Political Science University of Rochester Rochester, NY 14627 Phone: 585-275-5364/Fax: 585-271-1616 niemi@[email protected] Forthcoming, American Political Science Review Abstract Do state-level exams in civics have an impact on young people’s civic knowledge? We hypothesize that civics exams have the biggest effect in states where they matter most—i.e., where they are a requirement for high school graduation—the incentive hypothesis. We further hypothesize that civics requirements have the biggest effect on young people with less exposure to information about the U.S. political system at home, specifically Latinos and, especially, immigrants—the compensation hypothesis. We test these hypotheses with two sources of data—first, from high school students with the 2006 and 2010 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) civics test, and second, from a large national survey of 18-24 year-olds. Across the two datasets, we find modest support for the incentive hypothesis and strong support for the compensation hypothesis. 1 Policymakers and political scientists alike have long recognized the importance of formal civic education for youth.1 Currently, “each state’s constitution or public education establishment statutes and codes acknowledge the civic mission of schools” (Campaign for the Civic Mission of Schools 2015). Historically, schools have served as the key institution to educate immigrants about the nation’s system of governance and thus equip them for involvement in the nation’s political life (Gutmann 1999; Hochschild and Scovronick 2003; Macedo 2005).

  • Law-And-Political-Economy Framework: Beyond the Twentieth-Century Synthesis Abstract
    JEDEDIAH BRITTON- PURDY, DAVID SINGH GREWAL, AMY KAPCZYNSKI & K. SABEEL RAHMAN Building a Law-and-Political-Economy Framework: Beyond the Twentieth-Century Synthesis abstract. We live in a time of interrelated crises. Economic inequality and precarity, and crises of democracy, climate change, and more raise significant challenges for legal scholarship and thought. “Neoliberal” premises undergird many fields of law and have helped authorize policies and practices that reaffirm the inequities of the current era. In particular, market efficiency, neu- trality, and formal equality have rendered key kinds of power invisible, and generated a skepticism of democratic politics. The result of these presumptions is what we call the “Twentieth-Century Synthesis”: a pervasive view of law that encases “the market” from claims of justice and conceals it from analyses of power. This Feature offers a framework for identifying and critiquing the Twentieth-Century Syn- thesis. This is also a framework for a new “law-and-political-economy approach” to legal scholar- ship. We hope to help amplify and catalyze scholarship and pedagogy that place themes of power, equality, and democracy at the center of legal scholarship. authors.

  • Lessons from the History of UK Science Policy
    Lessons from the History of UK Science Policy August 2019 2 Science Policy History Foreword The British Academy is the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences. Our purpose is to deepen understanding of people, societies and cultures, enabling everyone to learn, progress and prosper. The Academy inspires, supports and promotes outstanding achievement and global advances in the humanities and social sciences. We are a fellowship of over 1000 of the most outstanding academics, an international community of leading experts focused on people, culture and societies, and are the voice for the humanities and social sciences.1 The British Academy aims to use insights from the past and the present to help shape the future, by influencing policy and affecting change in the UK and overseas. Given this, the Academy is well-placed to bring humanities and social science insight from the past into policymaking for the present and the future. One way to do this is in using historical insights to inform policymaking – ‘looking back to look forward’. To support these efforts, the Academy’s public policy team in collaboration with the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, has undertaken a new programme of work on policy histories. The policy histories series develop historical analyses for individual policy areas. These analyses are used to provide: • a structured, rigorous and objective account of the history of a given policy area and the significance of key milestones in context, • an informed basis for analysis and insights from the timelines as well as dialogue and discussion about what history can tell us about the future.

  • Science and Public Policy: What's Proof Got to Do With
    Environmental Science & Policy 7 (2004) 369–383 Science and public policy: what’s proof got to do with it? Naomi Oreskes Department of History and Science Studies Program, University of California, San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093-0104, USA Abstract In recent years, it has become common for opponents of environmental action to argue that the scientific basis for purported harms is uncertain, unreliable, and fundamentally unproven. In response, many scientists believe that their job is to provide the “proof” that society needs. Both the complaint and the response are misguided. In all but the most trivial cases, science does not produce logically indisputable proofs about the natural world. At best it produces a robust consensus based on a process of inquiry that allows for continued scrutiny, re-examination, and revision. Within a scientific community, different individuals may weigh evidence differently and adhere to different standards of demonstration, and these differences are likely to be amplified when the results of inquiry have political, religious, or economic ramifications. In such cases, science can play a role by providing informed opinions about the possible consequences of our actions (or inactions), and by monitoring the effects of our choices. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
