Breaking The Law! Conditions For And Perception Of Civil Disobedience By Democratic Citizens, Adam Stanley May 2007

Breaking The Law! Conditions For And Perception Of Civil Disobedience By Democratic Citizens, Adam Stanley

Undergraduate Theses and Capstone Projects

This paper examines actions of civil disobedience and the laws relevant to those actions. Each case study was tested against an operational definition of civil disobedience to see if these actions could be considered a legitimate expression of civil disobedience. The legitimacy of the laws was assessed through the use of two competing legal philosophies of H. L. A. Hart and Ronald Dworkin. Then, the public’s opinion of civil disobedience was measured through the use of polls and survey data. The results showed that the three cases did follow the guidelines of civil disobedience established by the literature, but the …


What Are We Fighting For? An Analysis Of The Sociopolitical Non-Fiction Of Herbert George Wells, Jason Edward Sloan Apr 2007

What Are We Fighting For? An Analysis Of The Sociopolitical Non-Fiction Of Herbert George Wells, Jason Edward Sloan

Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects

The legacy of H. G. Wells’ should not be limited to that of a British fiction writer. Wells advocated universal human rights and supported the engagement of broad public policy debate, and he often commented on the British government. His country had lived through World War I, the supposed “war to end all wars.” The roaring 1920’s arrived next, offering hope after World War I’s devastation. World War II was then thrust upon Britain. Wells was incensed that a thirty-year period had elapsed and, despite numerous promises by the British government, no social reform had emerged. For more than a …

Breaking Their Silence: Mizrahi Women And The Israeli Feminist Movement, Henriette Dahan Kalev Jan 2007

Breaking Their Silence: Mizrahi Women And The Israeli Feminist Movement, Henriette Dahan Kalev

henriette dahan kalev

Political scientists tend to examine the impact of grass roots activism in terms of visible output in the public sphere: for instance, how many laws were legislated, which desired policies came about, and whether decision-makers changed their minds as a result of grass roots pressure. In this fashion, feminist movements are often evaluated on the basis of the impact they make, even though changes in women's status are the outcome of many factors -- not all of them visible in the public sphere. Social changes most often begin with a shift in consciousness reinforced by economic and political factors, although …


Rational Parties And Retrospective Voters, David A. Siegel, Jonathan Bendor, Sunil Kumar Jan 2007

Rational Parties And Retrospective Voters, David A. Siegel, Jonathan Bendor, Sunil Kumar

David A Siegel

Many elections specialists take seriously V.O.Key’s hypothesis (1966) that much voting is retrospective: citizens reward good performance by becoming more likely to vote for the incumbent and punish bad performance by becoming less likely. Elsewhere (Bendor, Kumar, and Siegel forthcoming) we formalized Key’s verbal theory. Our model shows that people endogenously develop partisan voting tendencies, even if they lack explicit ideologies. However, that paper depicts parties as passive payoff-generating mechanisms. Here we make parties active, rational players with conventional goals: they either are pure office-seekers or have the usual mix of goals (office and policy preferences). The parties’ optimal strategies …

La Racionalidad De Las Preferencias Políticas En México: Estudios Recientes De Opinión Pública Y Comportamiento Electoral, Rodolfo Sarsfield Dec 2006

La Racionalidad De Las Preferencias Políticas En México: Estudios Recientes De Opinión Pública Y Comportamiento Electoral, Rodolfo Sarsfield

Rodolfo Sarsfield

La revisión de los cuatro libros seleccionados conduce al retrato de dos mundos distintos en lo tocante a la racionalidad de las preferencias políticas mexicanas. El primer mundo nos revela un grupo de dimensiones de opinión pública y comportamiento político que muestran signos de coherencia y predictibilidad. Este mapa justifica hablar de preferencias políticas racionales. De manera opuesta, un segundo conjunto de dimensiones indica patrones contradictorios e inconsistentes entre sí. Esta segunda imagen cuestiona la racionalidad de las preferencias políticas de los mexicanos. El retrato que surge de la opinión pública y del comportamiento electoral en México es paradójico. Palabras …
