Is Anybody Still A Realist?, Jeffrey W. Legro, Andrew Moravcsik
Is Anybody Still A Realist?, Jeffrey W. Legro, Andrew Moravcsik
Political Science Faculty Publications
Realism, the oldest and most prominent theoretical paradigm in international relations, is in trouble. The problem is not lack of interest. Realism remains the primary or alternative theory in virtually every major book and article addressing general theories of world politics, particularly in security affairs. Controversies between neorealism and its critics continue to dominate international relations theory debates. Nor is the problem realism’s purported inability to make point predictions. Many specific realist theories are testable, and there remains much global conflict about which realism offers powerful insights. Nor is the problem the lack of empirical support for simple realist predictions, …

The Sandelian Republic And The Encumbered Self, Richard Dagger
The Sandelian Republic And The Encumbered Self, Richard Dagger
Political Science Faculty Publications
In Democracy's Discontent, Michael Sandel argues for a revival of the republican tradition in order to counteract the pernicious effects of contemporary liberalism. As in his earlier work, Sandel charges that liberals who embrace the ideals of political neutrality and the unencumbered self are engaged in a selfsubverting enterprise, for no society that lives by these ideals can sustain itself. Sandel is right to endorse the republican emphasis on forming citizens and cultivating civic virtues. By opposing liberalism as vigorously as he does, however, he engages in a self-subverting enterprise of his own. That is, Sandel is in danger …

Political Culture And State Behavior: Why Germany Confounds Neorealism, John S. Duffield
Political Culture And State Behavior: Why Germany Confounds Neorealism, John S. Duffield
Political Science Faculty Publications
During the past decade, a growing number of scholars have turned to cultural approaches to account for the foreign and security policies of states. Surprisingly, however, these scholars have devoted little attention to the concept that boasts the most venerable tradition in the field of political science, that of political culture, as a possible source of state behavior. This neglect is unjustified. Like other cultural variables, political culture promises to explain phenomena that are enigmatic from the perspective of leading noncultural theories, such as neorealism. Yet it applies to a broader range of cases than do the many alternative cultural …
Budgeting In Virginia: Power, Politics, And Policy, Daniel Palazzolo, John T. Whelan
Budgeting In Virginia: Power, Politics, And Policy, Daniel Palazzolo, John T. Whelan
Political Science Faculty Publications
In this chapter, we will first sketch out how budget making has evolved from an executive-centered, Democratic dominated process to one in which the executive and the legislature, Democrats and Republicans, share power. Secondly, the makeup of the budget will be analyzed, the major revenue sources and spending programs identified, as well as the trends in those realms. In doing so, we will highlight the constraints and opportunities facing the participants in the budget process. Finally, we will discuss how budgeting during the 1998 session illustrated several institutional and partisan features that had been in place before the session began.
