When A Tree Falls In Fayetteville Does It Make A Sound: The Impact Of Issue Voting On Local Nonpartisan Elections, Jon Taylor
Inquiry: The University of Arkansas Undergraduate Research Journal
This research provides an explanation of the impact that high-profile issues can have on local nonpartisan elections. The tree ordinance in Fayetteville sparked a controversy that ignited the community's interest in the race for Mayor. This controversy provides a unique opportunity to measure how issue voting effects elections that have limited information available. The research regarding behavior in local nonpartisan elections is incomplete, because of the challenges this subject provides for political scientist. It is difficult to gauge a voter's choice when the voter's process limited knowledge of the candidates and party affiliation is removed. Generally political scientist view issue …

"On The Make": Campaign Funding And The Corrupting Of The American Judiciary, David R. Barnhizer
"On The Make": Campaign Funding And The Corrupting Of The American Judiciary, David R. Barnhizer
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
The thesis offered here is that the cost of judicial campaigns has reached a level where both candidates and sitting judges are shaping their behavior to attract financial and other support. This not only results in distortion of judicial selection by repelling meritorious potential candidates who are unwilling to compromise their principles, but in the capture of judges by special interests willing to finance judicial campaigns. Some argue that the great increase in contributions to judicial candidates simply means that contributors are giving to candidates they feel certain will support their positions. To some extent this is certainly true. But …

Looking Under The Hood And Tinkering With Voter Cynicism: Ross Perot And “Perspective By Incongruity”, Mari Boor Tonn, Valerie A. Endress
Looking Under The Hood And Tinkering With Voter Cynicism: Ross Perot And “Perspective By Incongruity”, Mari Boor Tonn, Valerie A. Endress
Rhetoric and Communication Studies Faculty Publications
This essay examines Ross Perot’s 1992 presidential bid as a comic catalyst for a reinvigorated view of civic responsibility. Despite the Texas maverick’s political naiveté and penchant for miscalculation, his very presence in the campaign reanimated Americans’ conception of grassroots democracy. By examining important and previously unexplored distinctions between planned and unplanned incongruity, we probe the means by which Perot invited consideration of alternative political perspectives and offered an appealing glimpse into a dormant, more deeply held democratic ideal.
I Was Just Doin' My Duty: The Influence Of Social And Cultural Conceptions On American Participants In The Second World War, Margaret E. Williamson
I Was Just Doin' My Duty: The Influence Of Social And Cultural Conceptions On American Participants In The Second World War, Margaret E. Williamson
Theses, Dissertations and Capstones
As the generation of Americans who fought World War II reached retirement age, a sense of nostalgia about their unforgettable days of fighting a common and undeniably evil enemy began to permeate American popular culture. This perception reinforced the concept of the Allies as the protectors of the world from tyrannical forces and leaders. Such an assessment of the conflict by Americans stemmed from the atrocities committed by Germans against Jews and other minorities. Furthermore, the unexpected attack on American territory by the Japanese justified the sacrifices made by millions of Americans. Nearly sixty years after the initiation of United …
The Role Of Law In The Functioning Of Federal Systems, George A. Bermann
The Role Of Law In The Functioning Of Federal Systems, George A. Bermann
Faculty Scholarship
Federal systems are about the distribution of legal and political power, but law is not only one of the currencies of federalism, it is also one of federalism's most important supports; this chapter considers the role that law plays in establishing and enforcing the system by which both legal and political power are distributed within the USA and the EU. Bermann explores the various ways in which the courts can, and choose to, enforce the principles of federalism beyond the classical ‘political’ and ‘procedural’ safeguards provided by the institutional structures themselves and the constraints on the deliberative process. He describes …
Religion And American Political Judgments, Kent Greenawalt
Religion And American Political Judgments, Kent Greenawalt
Faculty Scholarship
This Article addresses the extent to which officials and citizens should rely directly on their religious convictions to reach political judgments and make political arguments. Reviewing opposing "exclusive" and "inclusive" positions, this Article suggests that officials generally should not articulate arguments in religious terms. Many officials should have a greater freedom to rely on religious bases of judgments, and private citizens should not regard themselves as constrained in the manner of officials. This approach, defended initially from the perspective of detached political philosophy, fits comfortably with a variety of overarching religious views. The constraints it suggests should be regarded as …

The 2000 Presidential Election In Louisiana, Susan E. Howell
Survey Research Center Publications
The University of New Orleans Survey Research Center interviewed 658 registered voters by telephone between October 15 and 22. Results are reported for both the complete cross-section of registered voters and for the subset of likely voters, identified by the Gallup likely voter scale, which asks seven questions about voting habits. Regardless of whether you consider likely voters or all registered voters, George W. Bush enjoys a comfortable lead in Louisiana as of October 22. The margin is largely based on the 40% lead he has among white voters, who comprise over 70% of the electorate. Predictably, black voters overwhelmingly …
