    Issues in Governance Studies Number 61 September 2013 This Too Shall Pass: Reflections on the Repositioning of Political Parties Pietro S. Nivola INTRODUCTION mid the perennial lament about partisan “gridlock” and “dysfunction” in Washington, a casual observer might conclude that the postures of the ADemocrats and Republicans are permanent fixtures. Year in and year out, the two sides, it is easy to infer, look hopelessly set in their ways. But the inference is shortsighted. Repeatedly in American history, the leading political parties have changed their policy positions, sometimes startlingly. Consider these examples. Pietro Nivola is a senior fellow emeritus and served For a time, during the earliest years of the republic, the so-called Republicans as VP and director of Governance Studies (not to be confused with today’s party bearing the same name) resisted from 2004-2008. He practically every facet of the Federalist agenda, which featured a larger role for has written widely on energy policy, a central government as advocated by Alexander Hamilton. By 1815, however, regulation, federalism the Republican Party had pivoted. Led by James Madison, it suddenly embraced and American politics. just about every one of Hamilton’s main prescriptions. Born in 1854, another Republican party—the one built by Lincoln—became the champion of greater racial equality. It continued to enjoy that reputation well into the 20th century. (A little known fact: As late as 1932, black voters were still casting the great majority of their ballots for the Republican presidential candidate.) On the race issue, the Democrats were the reactionary party. That shameful distinction began to fade in the course of the 1930s and 1940s.

    , .. THE RESPONSE OF THE BLACK COMMUNITY IN MISSISSIPPI TO THE DIXIECRAT MOVEMENT IN 1948 Walt er McClusky Hurns Mor ehead State Univer sity Dir ector of Thesis: John J. _Hanrahan, Ph.D. APP}t~~f-i&{[S -\-\ q lo 6 JU ABSTRACT The t hesis of the r esearch is that the States ' Right Movement of 1948 in Mississippi helpe d to create a new political awareness among blacks for the first time since Radical Reconstruction. As a result of the Dixiecrat revolt against Truman and civil r ights, blacks in the state became more assertive about their rights and in 1948 organized themselves gradually to demand their civil rights. In re­ sponse to the Dixiecrat Movement can be found the origins of the c ivil rights movement of the fifties and sixties. In 11948 three events had a significant effect upon the Black community: The Dixiecrat Movement in Mississippi, President Truman ' s stand on civil rights and the National Democratic Party's stand on this i ssue. The black corrnnunity responded to these events through involve­ ment in the political activities of the e l ection year. The goal that black leaders sought in 1948 was simple . They wanted equality under the law for the black community. Black leaders viewed the ballot as the first and most effective means t o achieve equa lity. These black l eaders were. not militiant and they almost always tried to 3ppeal to the conscience of th~ white corrnnunity. Although whit e supren:iacy was a very difficult foe for the b l ack community to tackle, nevertheless , they accepted the challenge .

The Chair honours the memory of Professor Claude Ake, a distinguished scholar, philosopher, teacher and humanist, who died tragically in a plane crash near Lagos, Nigeria, in 1996. The holders of the Claude Ake Visiting Chair give, at the end of their stay in Uppsala, a public lecture, the ‘Claude Ake Memorial Lecture.’ The title, theme and content of the lecture are up to the holder. The assumption is that the topic of the lecture shall, in a general sense, relate to the work of Claude Ake, for example in terms of themes or issues covered, or in the theoretical or normative points of departure.
