3100 CWC#10: 1. EAVS Users Roundtable: Hosted by the MIT Election Data & Science Lab


CR17

Conference Within A Conference

Discussant Charles Stewart, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

This roundtable discusses issues related to the use and improvement of the Election Administration and Voting Survey (EAVS), which is administered after each federal election. Participants in the roundtable include “superusers” of the EAVS data, election officials who supply the data, representatives from the EAC, and experts in the construction of institutional surveys. As the EAVS enters its third decade, this is an appropriate moment to consider how the data have been used in research, litigation, and process improvement; new opportunities to use the EAVS; and ways to improve its data quality.

Voting Against Peace: Implications of Victimization for Negotiated Settlement in Colombia Michael Ahn Paarlberg, Virginia Commonwealth University

Discussant Michael Kenwick, Rutgers University

The papers on this panel explore various dimensions of the relationship between migration and conflict. Kerstin Fisk and Siri Rustad investigate refugees’ impact on security perceptions in Africa and whether the presence of humanitarian/development aid has a moderating effect. Christopher Blair and Austin Wright estimate the effect of an exogenous increase in refugee return to Afghanistan following the introduction of a cash grant program on insurgent violence and communal conflict. Beth Elise Whitaker draws on a new dataset of rebel human rights violations to examine factors that influence the likelihood of insurgents restricting the migration and movement of civilians. Finally, Michael Ahn Paarlberg tests the impact of localized violence and internal displacement on Colombian citizens’ votes in the 2016 peace plebiscite.

Emergency management and disaster preparedness call for not only the coordination of government officials. These problems call for preparedness to start in the household. Individual behavior is of central importance in supporting strong community recovery. These papers assess the conditions under which households understand the risks they face, interpret the information provided by key actors, and act to prepare themselves and their households for disasters.

Discussant Zhen Im, Copenhagen Business School

Western welfare states are coming under greater pressure in an era of rapidly rising inequality, austerity politics, societal and economic transformations and political polarization among citizens. These pressures compel governments to make tough choices and trade-offs in the allocation of public spending (e.g., social investment versus consumption protection spending). Concurrently, new social policies have emerged which places further policy trade-off pressures on governments (e.g., a universal basic income). This policy trade-off will – at least partially – depend on public opinion - namely what types of welfare policies citizens prefer or deem necessary. Hence, this panel investigates how citizens in Western democracies evaluate their respective welfare states and social policies like income redistribution. We also examine their views on inequality, and perceptions of deservingness with regards to welfare services. This panel therefore brings together scholars studying citizens’ preferences about social policy, and redistributive policies. It invites papers focusing on public opinion about social and welfare policies that aim to bring empirical, methodological or theoretical contributions to the field.

3100 Infusing Global Competences Into Introductory Political Science Courses


Salon I

Teaching Political Science

Discussants Nathan K Mitchell, Prairie View A&M University Michael Nojeim, Prairie View A&M University Tabitha Morton, Prairie View A&M University Gargi Aleaz, Prairie View A&M University Stephen Huss, Prairie View A&M University Jeremy Berkowitz, Prairie View A&M University

Organizations ranging from the OECD to AAC&U have increased their calls for colleges and universities to develop "global competence" in their undergraduate students. The world is becoming increasingly connected through rapidly changing technology, political and social change, and economic integration. College students face a world that is very different from previous generations. Employers expect graduates who can transfer their skills and knowledge to new contexts, handle ambiguity, work in diverse teams, and understand the complexity of global systems and issues. One of the most important functions of general education courses like introductory government classes is to help students develop these competencies and skills. Over the summer, a team of six introductory American government instructors from Prairie View A&M University participated in an intensive "Global Infusion Summit" focused on integrating global competencies into their general studies courses. This professional learning community was a part of a larger international effort at the University. It included six 90-minute workshops focused on improving undergraduate students' self-awareness, global awareness, cultural knowledge, and social responsibility. Content experts from regional partners presented larger concepts, and most of the workshop was focused on active learning pedagogy. To complete the requirements of the Summit, participants had to revise a syllabus for a course being taught in the Fall of 2021 and submit a form highlighting how their courses included global competencies. This roundtable will highlight the results of the Fall 2021 pilot of the revised globally-focused" introductory American government courses. Panelists will compare the performance of students enrolled in the revised curriculum to those enrolled in the more traditional curriculum in terms of skill and attitude development, course satisfaction, and success rates (% of students earning a C or higher). The workshop will highlight best practices for introducing global competencies throughout the discussion. Early anecdotal evidence suggests that students enrolled in the revised curriculum are more interested and satisfied than those enrolled in more traditional courses.

Views of Transit Migrants in an Immigrant Source Country: Findings from a Survey in Honduras Jesse Acevedo, University of Denver

Discussant Alexander Kustov, University of North Carolina at Charlotte

The papers on this panel examine public opinion regarding borders and migration in multiple regions of the world. Lauren Pinson and Beth Simmons use historic poll questions on U.S. border security from 1979 to 2020 and original survey experiments to disentangle a more nuanced relationship between immigration preferences, border security attitudes, and measures of border proximity. Hannah Alarian and Andrew Rosenberg draw on a survey experiment in the United Kingdom to ask whether knowledge of immigration in an institution bound up with national identity can overcome baseline anti-immigrant sentiment. Elizabeth Davis and Lamis Abdelaaty use data from the Arab Barometer, the World Values Survey, and the Varieties of Democracy dataset to test the effect of democratization process on attitudes toward migrants in the Middle East and North Africa. Turning to transit countries, Jesse Acevedo draws on an original survey in Honduras to understand how people’s views about transit migrants from Nicaragua, Haiti, and elsewhere vary across geographic locations within the country.

3200 3200 Author Meets Critics: Ann Ward's The Socratic Individual


CR2

Political Theory

Chair Jeremy Fortier, City College of New York

Discussants Matt Dinan, St. Thomas University Alexander Duff, University of North Texas Jeremy Fortier, City College of New York Denise Schaeffer, College of the Holy Cross Ann Ward, Baylor University

Ann Ward's recent book "The Socratic Individual: Philosophy, Faith, and Freedom in a Democratic Age" is a wide-ranging, thought-provoking overview of major themes and thinkers in modern political thought. Ward considers how Hegel, Kierkegaard, J.S. Mill, and Nietzsche revived - and also revised - the classical, Socratic model of political philosophy for a new era of liberal democratic politics. Ward's inquiry serves especially to illuminate the place that is left for religious faith in these new ways of thinking about politics. This panel will feature comments on "The Socratic Individual" by four scholars who have published their own studies of one or another of the thinkers treated in the book: Matthew Dinan (St. Thomas University); Alexander Duff (University of North Texas); Jeremy Fortier (City College of New York); Denise Schaeffer (College of the Holy Cross). Professor Ward will offer her reply.

3200 Applebaum, Pocock, and Snyder on Autocratic Tendencies in American Political Culture


CR20

Political Theory

President Joe Biden, in his first press conference on March 25th, predicted that our “children and grandchildren are going to be doing their doctoral thesis on the issue of who succeeded: autocracy or democracy? Because that is what is at stake, not just in China.” Later, in April, just prior to his first address to Congress, he told CNN’s Jake Tapper that historians would be writing about “whether or not democracy can function in the 21st century.” There are clearly autocratic tendencies in most of the world’s functioning democracies, not least in the United States. Among scholars today who have studied and are studying these tendencies in detail are Anne Applebaum and Timothy Snyder. Among our proposed panel presenters are Hannah Clarke and Elizabeth Hernandez who will consider whether and to what extent Applebaum’s concerns continue to be reflected in current events. A second paper, by Lisa Baer, will focus on the work of Professor Snyder. Among the most respected scholars on the principles established at the American founding is J. G. A. Pocock now Professor Emeritus at Johns Hopkins University. Monica Alfaro-Rodriguez will examine his work and what we stand to lose if the autocratic tendencies continue to gain momentum. We believe that our panel will be of interest to all students of political theory, American politics, changing dynamics in American and global political cultures, and anyone interested in a robust exchange on current events.

Discussant Paule Goode, Carleton University

The 30th anniversaries of the fall of communism in East-Central Europe and the Soviet Union’s collapse have loomed quietly in the background as the various states of contemporary Europe and Eurasia continue their own political, societal, and economic trajectories, now far different from the early post-socialist years and the predictions of social scientists in the 1990s. From widespread generational and demographic change to the stabilization of political order and the gradual aging out of communist-era elites to considerable cultural and social evolutions, the varied polities of East-Central Europe and Eurasia have experienced continued change in over the past decade. Given this dynamic reality, this panel puts together a range of perspectives on politics, institutions, and society across the greater Eastern European and Eurasian region, highlighting the burgeoning work of young scholars exploring new avenues of research. We focus on only a subset of the many possible scholarly questions that can be raised as the broader region moves further away from the communist legacy and ‘post-communist’ or ‘post-Soviet’ adjectives become ever less directly relevant. Our panel unites a disparate set of country cases in an overarching theme surrounding the nature of authoritarianism as a form of political order, a way of managing citizens and society, and as a means of capturing independent actors in East-Central Europe and Eurasia. Colleen Wood asks about the strategies and symbols of contentious politics in Central Asia, looking at the tactical decisions made by civil society organizations to mobilize supporters and engage with their respective governments. Mariia Tepliakova looks at media institutions in Eastern Europe, exploring the nature of their capture with legal tools and concentrated ownership structures. Julian Waller takes cues from earlier forms of authoritarian governance to assess the slow evolution of constitutions in Eurasian states away from the liberal democratic standard model. And Daniel Muck traces the coevolution of cabinet ministers and constitutional systems in several former Soviet states to examine the interplay between elite networks and formal rules in autocracies. Through this region-spanning and thematically plural collection of papers by junior scholars, we hope to move scholarship on the changing nature of politics and society in East-Central Europe and Eurasia forward in new and creative directions.

Entertainment


CR5

Public Opinion

Discussants Mandi Bailey, Valdosta State University Anthony Gierzynski, University of Vermont Jody Baumgartner, East Carolina University

Extant literature points to entertainment preferences being both reflected in and influenced by various cultural agents. This roundtable proposes to consider specific agents’ roles in developing and/or reinforcing political attitudes. We specifically look to news media and social media, but we also address the impact of entertainment media and music. Literature relating to the latter actors is less voluminous but nevertheless underscores their ability to impact American’s attitudes toward government and politics. We will further consider how the confluence of individual streams of media and entertainment and varying patterns of use affect specific demographic groups in the United States.

Political analysts have for some time cast doubt on voting as the lone or even the most significant indicator or explanation of the political developments in or general health of democracies (Piven and Cloward 2000; Franklin 2004; Gallego 2015). While some analysts interpret increased voter apathy and dissatisfaction as signs of a legitimacy crisis in mature democracies (Crozier et al. 1975), others claim it can actually strengthen democracies as long as non-voters shift their political activism to other forms of political expression beyond the ballot box (Klingemann 2014; Dalton 2020). In fact, while voter participation has generally been declining in mature democracies, political participation through non-voting means such as boycotts and protests (Inglehart 1990; Norris 2002; Quaranta 2016), new social movements and NGOs (Offe 1998) and social media (Coleman and Shane 2012) has been increasing. Add to this Putnam’s (1993) prominent theory of social capital whereby any participation in civic organizations (even those formally apolitical) enhances democracy, as long as those organizations are horizontally rather than vertically structured. The proposed panel examines the influence of non-voting political participation in and on European democracies past and present. Regarding the past, two papers explore the applicability of Putnam’s theory of social capital to explain the fate of democracy in Germany and in Italy before World War Two. In terms of the present, one paper finds that low levels of social capital explain authoritarian trends in Viktor Orbán’s Hungary; a second analyzes France’s Yellow Vest movement through the lens of Offe’s theory of new social movements; while the third tests Dalton’s theory of shifting forms of political participation in Norway.

This panel considers the determinants of and attitudes toward policies to regulate borders and migrants. Michael Kenwick, Gino Pauselli, and Beth Simmons use a unique dataset on the geo-location of international border walls to show that states are selective and strategic in where they choose to place walls. Miranda Simon, Mollie Gerver, Patrick Lown, and Dominik Duell use a conjoint experiment in the United States to examine support for different types, levels, and targets of foreign aid as a strategy to address the “root causes” of migration. Stephanie Schwartz considers state responses to avoid hosting refugees in the Global South, focusing on the tactic of revoking group refugee status in order to “return without refoulement.” Shifting from exclusive policies to more inclusive measures, Benjamin González O’Brien, Loren Collingwood, and Michael Ahn Paarlberg explore the conditions under which cities pass sanctuary legislation.

Salon C


Chair Mackenzie Israel-Trummel, William & Mary

Discussants Amy Liu, The University of Texas at Austin Paula Pickering, William & Mary Bethany Lacina, University of Rochester Ana Bracic, Michigan State University

This panel of critics will discuss “Breaking the Exclusion Cycle: How to Promote Cooperation between Majority and Minority Ethnic Groups” (Oxford University Press, 2020). “Breaking the Exclusion Cycle” proposes a theory of how individual behavior contributes to social exclusion, develops a novel method for measuring that behavior, and examines one intervention that aims to fight it. Based on original fieldwork among Central and Eastern European Roma and non-Roma, Bracic develops a theory she calls the exclusion cycle, through which anti-minority culture gives rise to discrimination by members of the majority, and minority members develop survival strategies. Members of the majority resent these strategies, assuming that they are endemic to the minority group rather than an outcome of their own discriminatory behavior. To illustrate her theory, Bracic includes an analysis of a video game she created that simulates interactions between Roma and non-Roma participants, which members of these groups played through avatars (thereby avoiding contentious face-to-face interactions). The results demonstrate that majority members discriminate against minority members even when minority group members behave in ways identical to the majority. They also show the way in which minority members develop survival mechanisms. Bracic draws on the results of the simulation to offer evidence that this cycle can be broken through Roma-led NGO-promoted intergroup contact. In this “Author Meets Critics” panel, experts on ethnic politics, experiments, non-governmental organizations, and Central and Eastern Europe will respond to the book, discussing limitations and extensions of the argument. They will also discuss the next steps in the research agenda, including the creation of a publicly accessible open-source videogame that scholars can use to collect data on intergroup interactions, which Bracic will briefly present during the panel.

Using an original dataset of public service quality and migration opportunities in 24 European countries for 1980-2014, Alexander Kustov explores how exogenous increases in emigration opportunities affect government performance. Jesse Acevedo employs a survey experiment in Honduras to examine political responses to migrant caravans in origin countries. Beth Elise Whitaker and John Doces draw on multiple conjoint experiments conducted in the United States to test how different immigrant attributes affect support among citizens for deportation. Finally, Miranda Simon, Cassilde Schwartz, Jennifer van Heerde-Hudson, and David Hudson also use a conjoint experiment to test the extent to which deference to authority or prejudice drive support for excessive immigration enforcement.

Salon A


Chair Robert William Smith, University of Illinois Springfield

Discussants Jason Piscia, PAR Director at the University of Illinois Springfield Vanessa de Macedo Higgins Joyce, Texas State University Dino Chiecchi, Executive Editor for Borderzine Matthew Watkins, Texas Tribune

This roundtable panel will feature two academic political communications/journalism faculty and two practitioners (journalists) who will engage in a robust discussion surrounding the rise of nonprofit journalism as an emerging venue for citizens in the U.S. and Latin American countries to obtain relevant and current political and governmental coverage. As many for-profit newsrooms cut reporting staff and close news bureaus in seats of government, coverage of significant political, administrative and policy actions by elected and appointed government officials can go neglected or receive only limited coverage. Moreover, the lack of reporters in regional or local newspapers and their scope of coverage often prevents the type of in-depth and probing reporting to uncover maladministration or corruption in the public arena. The seminal question to be addressed surrounds the sufficiency of nonprofit journalism to fill the void in this type of reporting and how this type of coverage may increase or better serve citizens. The panel also will examine NPJ’s role in helping combat the proliferation of misinformation and how NPJ organizations, especially newer ones, are working to introduce themselves to their audiences as a different choice for consuming news. A series of directed questions will drive and focus the discussion among panelists with a view to maximize time for audience questions and comments.

Discussants Cihan Aydiner, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Chelsea LeNoble, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Courtney Page Tan, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

Recent events such as the global COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted the increasing complexity, scope, and scale of disasters. These types of disasters can be characterized as ‘transboundary events’, which “jump across different societal boundaries disrupting the social fabric of different social systems” (Quarantelli, Boin, & Lagadec, 2018, p. 68). Transboundary events possess six characteristics: 1) The hazard crosses geographic and political boundaries often requiring international involvement; 2) The hazard spreads quickly over a large geographic area; 3) There is an extensive amount of ambiguity about the hazard’s characteristics and its impacts; 4) The hazard affects a large number of people directly and indirectly; 5) Extensive improvisation is required as existing plans and procedures prove to be inadequate; 6) Formal response organizations are unable to address the widespread need and emergent groups and other ephemeral response mechanisms emerge (Quarantelli, Boin, & Lagadec 2018). Panelists will introduce the concept of transboundary events, highlight an example case, and engage in discussion about theoretical applications and research gaps—as well as how policymakers might best prepare for and respond to events in the future. Discussion will focus on questions such as: - Where do our current policies and practices fall short when addressing transboundary disasters? - What research is needed to expand theory and understanding of transboundary events? - What are the most important points of intersection between disciplines that will allow for a more comprehensive approach to addressing transboundary threats? - How should policymakers, local communities, and organizations prepare for future transboundary events? - What gaps exist when considering transboundary disaster resilience, and how might future research help to address those gaps? - If we’ve achieved our goal of working in interdisciplinary ways to address transboundary disasters, how do you imagine our conversations and approaches might differ five years from now?

Discussants Magic M Wade, University of Illinois Springfield Eric Zeemering, University of Georgia Mirya Holman, Tulane University

Ungoverned and Out of Sight – Public Health and the Political Crisis of Homelessness in America, Oxford University Press, 2021 Homelessness is a public health problem. Nearly a decade after the great recession of 2008, homelessness rates are once again rising across the United States, with the number of persons experiencing homelessness surpassing the number of individuals suffering from opioid use disorders annually. Homelessness offers serious adverse consequences for physical and mental health, and ultimately worsens health disparities for already at-risk low-income and minority populations. While some state-level policies have been implemented to address homelessness, these services are often not designed to target chronic homelessness and subsequently fail in policy implementation by engendering barriers to local homeless policy solutions. In the face of this crisis, Ungoverned and Out of Sight seeks to understand the political processes influencing adoption of best-practice solutions to reduce chronic homelessness in municipalities across the United States. Drawing on unique research from three exemplar municipal case studies in San Francisco, CA, Atlanta, GA, and Shreveport, LA, this research explores conflicting policy solutions in the highly decentralized homeless policy space and provides recommendations for policy makers to improve homeless policy governance systems and deliver policies that will successfully diminish chronic homelessness. Until issues of authority and fragmentation across competing or misaligned policy spaces are addressed through improved coordination and oversight, local and national policies intended to reduce homelessness may not succeed.

Discussants Alfonso Vergaray, Texas A&M International University Seth Bartee, Guilford Technical Community College

Texts and thinkers from the past contain gems pointing to new possibilities and understandings. If only the right reader, that is, comes in contact with an old thinker’s ideas and resurrects them to new life. At least that is what certain proponents of the study of the history of political thought would claim. This panel looks at ancient and modern texts and thinkers that contain lessons for contemporary theory and practice. Panelists draw from Aristotle, Plato, Francis Bacon, Twain/Machiavelli, and Spinoza to offer educational lessons for the present. Sebastian Graham (University of North Texas) draws on Aristotle’s analysis of democracy and demagoguery in Book IV and V of the Politics to claim that demagogues are an inexorable reality in democratic regimes, thus requiring an education in how to “correctly—or more securely—employ demagoguery” in a democracy. Mark Menaldo and Karyn E. Miller's (Texas A&M University-Commerce) essay reexamines Socrates’ attempt to harmonize spiritedness with reason in the Republic in order to draw implications for today’s educational theory. Turning to the modern period, Erin A. Dolgoy (Rhodes College) probes Francis Bacon’s account of truth to help ground Bacon’s understanding of science, politics, and religion. Spinoza, Alfonso Vergaray (Texas A&M International University) claims, offers lessons from his life and work regarding how to confront uncertainty on an individual and collective scale. Finally, Jack Byham (Texas A&M International University) presents a new interpretation of Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee that places Hank Morgan, the novel’s main protagonist, as a Machiavellian Prince. His reading sheds light on the intractable challenges faced when confronting ambitious leaders, and offers lessons on the limits of their overzealous attempts to control the political sphere. Panelists: Jack Byham - Texas A&M International University Erin A. Dolgoy - Rhodes College Sebastian Graham- University of North Texas Karyn E.

One of the longest-standing questions in the study of public opinion is what explains popular support for the incumbent executive. The opening pages of Richard E. Neustadt’s magisterial Presidential Power (1960) underscore the question’s normative importance: “In the United States we like to ‘rate’ a president. We measure him as ‘weak’ or ‘strong’ and call what we are measuring his ‘leadership.’ We do not wait until a man is dead; we rate him from the moment he takes office. We are quite right to do so. His office has become the focal point of politics and policy in our political system.” Executive approval is also one of the longest-running, and most regular, measures of public opinion in any society. George Gallup began measuring public approval of the British Prime Minister in the late 1930’s and of the American President in the early 1940’s. And pollsters in the developing world began gauging executive approval at the dawn of their respective democratic openings. Early theorizing by John Mueller (1970, 1973) about the dynamics and drivers of presidential approval in the American context held up remarkably well over the following decades (e.g., Gronke and Newman 2003) and appeared to travel nicely to other climes (e.g., Carlin et al. 2018; Müller and Louwerse 2020). Yet in the last decade the conventional wisdom is showing signs of wear and tear (Magalhães 2020; Newport and Saad 2021). Honeymoon periods are attenuated if they exist at all. In cases as diverse as the United States, India, Mexico, Germany, and Canada, leader popularity varies within in an increasingly narrow band. The confluence of of populism, polarization, and the pandemic have introduced a host of new factors that the public is likely to consider when asked whether they approve of the sitting executive. Concomitantly, scholars have recently amassed cross-national and subnational datasets that permit greater theorizing about “macro-approval”—executive support in the aggregate and how and why it changes over time. This panel includes five papers that encapsulate enduring as well as novel questions in the study of executive approval.

CR13


Chair Bartholomew Sparrow, University of Texas, Austin

Discussants Mark Wilson, University of North Carolina, Charlotte (History) Andrew Szarejko, Naval Postgraduate School Daniel Kryder, Brandeis University Laura E. Evans, University of Washington William Adler, ortheastern Illinois University

Professor William Adler examines how a minimal US public sector could, in the early nineteenth century, lead to the amazing geographic and economic growth of the United States. Adler studies the "strongest part of the early American state, the U.S. Army. The Army shaped the American economy through its coercive actions in conquering territory, expanding the nation's borders, and maintaining public order and the rule of law. It built roads, bridges, and railroads while Army engineers and ordnance officers developed new technologies, constructed forts that encouraged western settlement and nurtured nascent communities, cleared rivers, and created manufacturing innovations that spread throughout the private sector. Politicians fought for control of the Army, but War Department bureaucracies also contributed to their own development by shaping the preferences of elected officials" (from Penn U.P. website description). Bartholomew Sparrow, an expert on the US territories ("The Insular Cases and the Emergence of Empire" [Kansas], among other works), will chair and provide separate comments. He will be joined by Andrew A. Szarejko, a Fellow in the Naval Postgraduate School’s Defense Analysis Department and at the U.S. Military Academy's Modern War Institute, who specializes in 19th century US military conflict with Native American nations. They will be joined by Professor Mark Wilson, at UNC Charlotte, who has written several books and articles on the development of the US military and on the relations between government and private sector/business partners in the creation of the American military. The third panelist (and fourth discussant) will be Professor Dan Kryder, the Louis Stulberg Chair in Law and Politics at Brandeis University, and an expert on APD, race politics, and policing. They will also be joined by Professor Laura E. Evans, an expert on race and politics, Native American politics, federalism, and political institutions in the U.S.

B. Guy Peters, University of Pittsburgh

Discussant B. Guy Peters, University of Pittsburgh

The contemporary period of populist politics, as well as the increasing powers of prime ministers and presidents, raise questions about the capacity of the public bureaucracy to maintain its autonomy in the processes of governing. The appropriate degree of autonomy for the bureaucracy is in itself an important question. How can governments balance the accountability needed in democratic, and even non-democratic, governments with the capacity of organizations and individuals to make decisions based on experience, expertise, and law? That normative question can be paired with the empirical question of how organizations and individuals obtain and utilize their autonomy. The autonomy of the bureaucracy is a question at three levels of generality. Can the bureaucracy as an institution be autonomous and exercise powers in governing? Bureaucratic autonomy is usually discussed at the level of the organization, which is attempting to gain some control over policy, as well as over resources. Finally, individual bureaucrats want to be able to make their own decisions and have an influence over policy. These three levels of autonomy also interact to create more complex patterns of autonomy seeking within the public sector. The concept of bureaucratic politics can be utilized to examine the formation and utilization of bureaucratic autonomy. While originally used with respect to organizations operating in the areas of foreign and defense policy, bureaucratic politics is a more general pattern of politics within the public sector. Its relevance has been enhanced by the delegation of powers to agencies as a part of the New Public Management. Likewise, SOEs may be effective players of bureaucratic politics as they seek to maintain their autonomy from political control. In addition to organizations playing bureaucratic politics, individual bureaucrats, or groups of bureaucrats may attempt to enhance their own autonomy within organizations. This panel will focus on the resources and strategies used by public organizations and their members to gain and preserve their autonomy.

Discussant Iain Morrison, University of Houston

This panel addresses Nietzsche’s thought along with his predecessors and heirs on a range of political issues centered on contestation in the lives of individuals, communities, and discourses. Papers take up these issues by considering reflections on greatness, tensions in Nietzsche’s view of freedom, the relationship between philosophical and political life, the emancipatory potential in his work, and the role of language. With papers on Nietzsche, Fichte, and Heidegger, the panel will provide an opportunity for considerations of tensions within Nietzsche’s work along with a broad context for his thought. The role of contestation in Nietzsche’s thought provides a valuable resource to considerations of the broad scope of the political in considerations of identity, freedom, and power, and a precursor to contemporary theoretical and practical debates around these issues How do relations of identity and community shape political futures? How do questions about freedom of thought, social and natural necessity inform considerations of meaningful political freedom? How do long held philosophical debates about philosophy and community shape current discussions of identity and freedom? The papers on Nietzsche each address the liberatory potential of his thought in ways along a broad range of possibilities. The panel provides an opportunity for established scholars of Nietzsche to engage competing ideas on key elements of his political thought. A consideration of Fichte’s view of greatness and political implications of Heidegger’s language philosophy provide further depth and scope to the panel of continental political philosophy scholars.

American Dream


CR20

Discussants Rachel Ann May, University of South Florida Candis Watts Smith, Duke University Gloria C Cox, University of North Texas Belinda Davis, Louisiana State University

Is the American dream that exists for the middle class equally available to the working class? Using extensive interviews with parents and a variety of data sources, this book examines how social contexts and culture affect parenting decisions. By analyzing class differences in neighborhoods, schools, and networks, as well as their relationship to mobility-related parenting practices, the authors demonstrate that cultural differences are no match for economic inequalities. They show how middle-class parents have access to social contexts characterized by security, which gives rise to what the authors call “strategic parenting”— a set of practices that allow adolescents to develop the qualities and skills they will use to go off to college and, subsequently, achieve the American dream. Conversely, the contexts of working-class parents are characterized by precarity, giving rise to “defensive parenting”—an almost frantic use of harm-mitigating interventions to protect adolescents from threats to both their well-being and prospects for mobility. This important book calls for a shift in public policy away from trying to change working-class parents to improving the social contexts in which society asks them to raise the next generation.

4600 4600 CWC#3: PANEL 4: Book Manuscript Workshop - The Social Roots of Authoritarian Power: State-

Society Relations and the Political Machines in the Russian Regions


CR18


Discussant Natalia Forrat, University of Michigan

This presentation will lay out the main argument of a new book manuscript, which develops a theoretical model of authoritarian power in unitary statist societies and pluralist anti-statist ones. It argues that authoritarianism is possible in both, but autocrats must use different tools to consolidate power depending on how people in their society view the state. If people view the state as their team leader, autocrats rely on social conformity and teamwork logic. If people view the state as an outsider, autocrats rely on clientelist bargains and utility maximization logic. The empirical part of the book demonstrates that the different performance of political machines in four Russian regions during the 2012 presidential election is explained by these opposite logics driving the regional political machines. These logics, in their turn, stem from the different historical trajectories of these regions, which formed the opposite views of the state by the population. The proposed theory of authoritarian power is widely applicable beyond Russia and helps explain the divergent patterns of redistribution, corruption, and protest in different countries.

The strength of secessionism in liberal-democracies varies in time and space. Inspired by historical institutionalism, Nationalism, Secessionism, and Autonomy argues that such variation is explained by the extent to which autonomy evolves in time. If autonomy adjusts to the changing identity, interests, and circumstances of an internal national community, nationalism is much less likely to be strongly secessionist than if autonomy is a final, unchangeable settlement. Developing a controlled comparison of, on the one hand, Catalonia and Scotland, where autonomy has been mostly static during key periods of time, and, on the other hand, Flanders and South Tyrol, where it has been dynamic, and also considering the Basque Country, Québec, and Puerto Rico as additional cases, this book puts forward an elegant theory of secessionism in liberal-democracies: dynamic autonomy staves off secessionism while static autonomy stimulates it.

Caribbean"


Salon D


Chair Carlos Scartascini, Inter-American Development Bank

Latin America and the Caribbean continues to be one of the slowest growing regions in the world. The pandemic has devastated the region even more. The region's prosperity depends on the creativity and entrepreneurship of its citizens and their ability to live freely in vibrant democracies. Unfortunately, the region has lacked the one key element that vibrant democracies require: trust. Trust is the belief that others will not act opportunistically. It is faith in others—in their honesty, dependability, and goodwill. Trustworthy people make promises they can keep, follow through on those promises, and do not violate social norms. Democracy depends on trust: voters choose candidates they believe will fulfill their electoral promises. Economic growth rests on trust: firms invest in innovation when they expect governments to tax and regulate them the same as other firms. When trust is absent, society and its members suffer: citizens disengage from the political process and become disenchanted with democracy; regulations and red tape grow at the discretion of bureaucrats; and the quality of public policy deteriorates, restricting rather than fostering innovation and productivity. Trust is the glue for social cohesion and citizenship, which in turn are the foundation of institutions, governments that provide public goods and the rule of law, and democracy itself. This book describes the consequences of the era of mistrust, proposes a series of reforms and innovations that would help increase trust, and helps governments navigate the sea of mistrust to address citizens' pressing concerns.

Discussants Francine Sanders Romero, University of Texas at San Antonio Maria-Elena Giner, University of Texas at Austin Patrick Gallagher, University of Texas at San Antonio Vanessa Puig-Williams, Texas Water Program, Environmental Defense Fund

Security and sustainability of water quality and quantity grow increasingly crucial in Texas, with the state’s combination (common to many areas in the southern U.S.) of dry climate, susceptibility to climate change, and explosive population growth. Less attention, however, has been paid to water equity, and the uneven impact of water insecurity on particular groups and regions. Even a solid definition of water equity is lacking. This panel will address how our limited knowledge, as well as opportunities for progress, in this arena are linked to a common lack of inclusion of the people and communities impacted by this problem. Panelists from diverse fields of academia and the public/non-profit sectors will share their efforts to reverse this tendency by engaging with the individuals, groups, and sectors that possess crucial knowledge and understanding of the topic. An integrated discussion will weave together various perspectives/arenas to create a framework of investigatory inclusion generalizable beyond Texas and to other natural resources.

Despite being home to millions of Americans, the U.S. territories remain marginalized in the study of American politics.

A variety of social policies implemented around the globe offer a rich resource to study the impact that welfare programs have on people’s life. This panel examines experiences from a wide range of welfare states – ranging from its liberal ones like the USA to universal ones like the Nordics. Concurrently, supranational actors like the European Union have also exerted pressure on European welfare states. By examining the degree of success of various social policies in improving people’s welfare, this panels aims to search for similarities and overlaps. These findings will foster our understanding of the determinants increasing positive impact of welfare states, and thus will constitute a relevant knowledge base when designing future programs. Beyond these empirical contributions, the selection of papers demonstrates how a multitude of methodologies can mutually reinforce our understanding of the impact of welfare programs. The presented research implements discourse analysis, interviews, experiment and are based on both single and multiple country cases. This wide methodological and conceptual approach thus enables a multi-angled evaluation of different social policies that may be relevant to policymakers.

This roundtable offers scholars the opportunity to discuss opportunities to address data limitations that currently limit the future of research on local government service delivery The ICMA Alternative Service Delivery Survey is a frequently used data source for scholars studying local government service delivery and topics including privatization, interlocal cooperation, and service delivery change over time. This panel is organized to reflect upon the current status of the data and the future of local government service delivery research. The panel will engage frequent critiques of the data, including low response rate from municipal governments and assumptions implicit in question design, while also reflecting on opportunities for improvement in future interactions of the survey instrument. The panel will engage the audience in discussion about the adequacy of the ICMA data and the potential need for the local government research community to expand use of primary data from government or new survey instruments in the future.
