Jan Pierskalla, The Ohio State University
The past decades have seen a vast expansion of work applying classic political economy models and techniques of analysis to historical events. This panel includes a set of cutting edge papers from this literature, drawn from a wide variety of chronological and geographical settings. Directly or indirectly, all the papers examine the effects of economic changes (technological change, trade expansion, drought, the overall expansion of the 20th century Indian economy) on political preferences. All use original, often quite extensive projects of data collection. Dasgupta’s paper examines why rural voters support conservative parties despite low income levels that should dictate support for redistribution. Drawing on a historical natural experiment in the American great plains, it traces the “conservative turn” in rural America to a mid-20th century technological revolution in agriculture: the introduction of new irrigation technologies, notably center-pivot-irrigation, which made it much easier to profitably irrigate crops on a large scale with groundwater. It provides evidence that counties with aquifers became systematically more conservative in elections following the introduction of the new irrigation technology, due to the consolidation of large-scale farms based on water-intensive crops. In these areas, the rise of concentrated agribusiness interests played a critical role in tilting elections in a conservative direction. The findings highlight how biased technological change, by activating special interests, can play a disruptive role in politics. Fresh’s paper considers the political consequences of the dramatic expansion of British overseas trade beginning in the late 16th century brought about by the discovery of new ocean shipping routes to Asia and the Americas. Using an original individual-level dataset on the characteristics of Members of Parliament in England and Wales spanning two centuries (1550-1750), it examines the differential effect of an aggregate trend in expanding trade for constituencies more (as compared to less) directly connected to the expanding commercial economy. It finds that trade increased electoral contests and may have led the commercial interest to be more represented in parliament, but little evidence that expanding trade fundamentally empowered new societal groups on other dimensions --- dynastic and aristocratic MPs, two markers of the traditional elite, were unaffected by the change. Together these findings suggest conditions under which economic change produces a transformation in the political elite. Lee’s paper takes a critical approach to the historical political economy literature. This literature is frequently characterized by highly aggregated units of analysis, a tight focus on a single intervention and a elision of events and conditions between the intervention and the measurement of the outcome. This paper analyses variation in the incidence of a wide variety of historical institutions and economic trends—colonial, precolonial, and postcolonial—at the village level within a single Indian district, using a complete panel dataset of villagelevel public goods provision over the 1871-2011 period, and additional data on precolonial and colonial landholding and land tenure arrangements and contemporary voting. While it finds that there are many correlations between historical institutions, the land tenure system, and contemporary voting and public goods, the historical interventions are so correlated with each other as to make causal inference difficult. The results indicate the obstacles to modeling the outcomes of complicated and interdependent historical processes. Sellers and Garfias. examine the complementary roles of state weakness, elite divisions, and popular grievances on rebellion. They argue that state-building efforts increase division between local and national elites, which undermines provincial peacekeeping efforts and provides an opening for popular rebellion. For a given level of grievance, revolts from below are therefore more likely to be attempted and more likely to spread in areas where local elites harbor grievances over earlier state-building efforts. They provide support for the theory using subnational data on rebellion, tax centralization, and drought from the late 17th-century to the Mexican War of Independence. We show that droughts led to peasant uprisings throughout the late colonial period, but it was not until the weakening of national institutions following the fall of the Bourbon dynasty in 1808 that these uprisings grew into a large-scale insurgency. Insurgent mobilization during the Independence War was more likely in drought-affected areas that had higher exposure to the Bourbon centralization of tax collection, which reduced the rents available to the local

    THE DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS OF THE UNITED STATES AND CHILE 1810-1823 A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS BY BUTLER ALFONSO JONES DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY ATLANTA, GEORGIA JUNE 1938 / ' ' I // / ii PREFACE The most casual study of the relations between the United States and the Latin American republics will indicate that the great republic in the north has made little effort to either understand the difficulties that have sorely tried her younger and less powerful neighbors or to study their racial characteristics and customs with the friendly appreciation necessary to good relations between states. Nor is it sufficient in a democracy where public opinion plays an important part in foreign affairs to confine know¬ ledge of foreign policies and peoples to the select few who make up the go¬ vernment. Such understanding should be widespread among the peoples them¬ selves, so that public opinion, based upon an intelligent comprehension of the facts, can aot as a lever towards more friendly cobperation, rather than as a spur to jealous and rival aspirations. To bring about this better re¬ lationship, v/hich can be accomplished only by a better mutual understanding, every avenue of approach should be utilized. It is the purpose of this paper to utilize one of the avenues of approach by presenting, in an objective man¬ ner, the story of the early relations of the United States with what, in some respects, is the most powerful of the Latin American nations and, in all respects, is the most stabilized of our South American neighbors.

    Declaration of Chicano Self-Determination San Diego County, Ca. When it becomes self-evident over a long period of time that certain specific individuals, groups, or organizations become detrimental to the progress and prin- ciples of our people and to our movement, then it becomes not only our responsibility but our duty to publicly confront and denounce the perpetrators who have committed these acts against the best interest and welfare of our community. We the undersigned of this declaration which comprise the major Chicano organ- izations of San Diego County hereby declare to our communities and our people that: (1) We accuse the. Socialist Workers Party (SWP) and the Young Socialist Alliance (YSA) of violating the Chicano Community's sacred principle of "self determination" by: (a) Disrespecting the political positions of Chicano Community Organizations. (b) Cal- ling Chicano individuals and organizations to a community meeting under false pretense. (c) Using Chicano individuals and organizational names under false pretense and with- out their permission. (2) We accuse the SWP of attempting to undermine the confidence of the Chicano Community to further their own aims at the expense of our people by the above acts. (3) We accuse the SWP of using devisive actions designed to attempt to discredit and subvert the local Chicano leadership of San Diego County by labeling them violent, reactionary, and revisionist.' (4) We accuse the SWP of continually ignoring the request of the Chicano Community through the organizations to cease in their attempts at manipulation and co-optation of issues which effect our communities. (5) We accuse the SWP of acting in a patronizing, opportunistic manner, and with a colonialist mentality which presumes that the Chicano Community is incompetent and incapable of determining its' own destiny.

Thesis submitted for Philosophy Doctor degree The University of Saint Andrews Maritime Studies 1996 EC A UNI L/ rJ ý t\ jxý DF, ÄNý Jorge Ortiz-Sotelo Peru and the British Naval Station ABSTRACT The protection of British interests in the Pacific was the basic reason to detach a number of Royal Navy's vessels to that Ocean during the Nineteenth Century. There were several British interests in the area, and an assorted number of Britons established in Spanish America since the beginning of the struggle for Independence. Amongst them, merchants was perhaps the most important and influential group, pressing on their government for protection to their trade. As soon as independence reached the western coast of America, a new space was created for British presence. First Valparaiso and afterwards Callao, British merchants were soon firmly established in that part of South America. As had happened in the Atlantic coast, their claims for protection were attended by the British government through the Pacific Squadron, under the flag of the Commander-in-Chief of the South American Station, until 1837, when it was raised to a separate Station.

    The USS Essex Was an American Naval Frigate Launched in 1799 and Served in the Quasi- War with France and the Barbary Wars

    The USS Essex during the War of 1812 The USS Essex was an American naval frigate launched in 1799 and served in the Quasi- War with France and the Barbary Wars. But it was in the War of 1812 where the Essex under the command of Captain David Porter achieved legendary status as a raider wreaking havoc on British whaling ships. The wooden hull ship was built in Salem, Massachusetts, by Enos Briggs, following a design by William Hackett, at a cost of $139, 362. The ship was 138ft 7 in length by 37 ft, 3½ in width with a displacement of 850 tons. The fully-rigged ship was capable of speeds of 12 knots and carried forty 32 pound carronades with a crew, which varied up to over 150 men and boys. Launched on 30 September 1799, the Essex was presented to the fledgling Unites States Navy and placed under the command of Captain Edward Preble. Joining the Congress at sea to provide a convoy for merchant ships, the Essex became the first American war ship to cross the equator and sailed around the Cape of Good Hope in both March and August 1800. After the initial voyage, Captain William Bainbridge assumed command in 1801, sailing to the Mediterranean to provide protection for American shipping against the Barbary pirates. For the next five years the Essex patrolled the Mediterranean until 1806 when hostilities between the Barbary States ceased. The American Navy was small when the war broke out—seven frigates, nine other crafts suited for sea duty (brigs, sloops, and corvettes), and some 200 gunboats.

    AGUA PRIETA, SO | DOUGLAS, AZ 2017 1 La Frontera - The Border: Art Exhibitions May 2nd-November 17th, 2019 The Escalette Collection is deeply invested in acquiring and displaying art that engages with issues central to the lives of people living in southern California. As debate about the U.S./Mexico border has become ever more salient and polarizing, we recognize a responsibility to foreground work that takes part in this conversation. The artworks featured in the exhibition La Frontera-The Border: Selections from the Escalette Permanent Collection of Art form the nucleus of this effort. This exhibition, which developed into a campus-wide exploration of the subject, introduced us to many other artists whose work is dedicated to the subject of borders. We were privileged to meet some of the photographers from the “BorderClick: Tijuana/San Diego” initiative, and are delighted to be adding six of their works to the Escalette Permanent Collection. We are grateful to Phyllis and Ross Escalette for their endowment that allows us to grow the permanent collection each year in ways that respond to current events, ideas and concerns. The Guggenheim Gallery shows local and international contemporary artists and is committed to generating exhibitions that bring work situated within current artistic and intellectual dialogs to our students and curriculum. La Frontera-The Border: Art Across the Border presents a selection of works examining the subject of the U.S./ Mexico border from personal, satirical, and political perspectives, as well as the cultural and psychological implications of the physical wall. From artivist aesthetics (a term coined by Dr.
