Jlia 2:1
Penn State Journal of Law & International Affairs (2012 - Present)
There is an ever widening gap between conflict resolution policy makers and scholars—a tragedy given practitioners’ dire need for new ideas to help resolve deadly conflicts and the growing knowledge researchers have to share. Research tends to swing like a pendulum between analytic and rigorous methods and accessible and relevant approaches. We reject this tradeoff. We believe that research can be simultaneously rigorous and relevant, and analytic and accessible. Given the devastating loss of life associated with armed conflict, the need for translating research results into policy prescriptions is especially strong in peacemaking. The goal of this issue of the …
The Impact Of Government Policies On Access To Broadband, James Prieger
The Impact Of Government Policies On Access To Broadband, James Prieger
School of Public Policy Working Papers
With a new focus for federal universal service programs on broadband and the NTIA BTOP funding for broadband adoption projects, recent years have been “exciting times” for those interested in broadband policy aimed at stimulating adoption. While most of the recent programs are still too new to be evaluated rigorously, lessons from older academic study can inform our expectations and lend guidance toward evaluating program success. In this brief work, I review what we know from the last decade and a half of literature on the impact of regulation on broadband adoption, discuss the (mostly woeful) attempts at evaluating adoption …

Warning Signs: A Study In The Proximate Causes Of Genocide, Bradley Ryktarsyk
Warning Signs: A Study In The Proximate Causes Of Genocide, Bradley Ryktarsyk
Honors Theses
This paper analyzes the cases of genocide in Bosnia and Rwanda as well as the humanitarian interventions in Kosovo and Libya to study the proximate causes of genocide. Proximate cause, defined as any event or condition, leading directly, or indirectly, to genocide, or the intervention by foreign powers, occurring within the immediate generation preceding the genocidal acts, or perceived threat thereof, is herein explored through Gregory Stanton’s “Eight Stages of Genocide” (1996). “The Eight Stages of Genocide” allows these cases to be examined through a preexisting, though imperfect, framework which compartmentalizes the process of genocide into stages allowing for analysis …
A Style Of His Own: A Rhetorical Analysis Of Barack Obama, Victoria West
A Style Of His Own: A Rhetorical Analysis Of Barack Obama, Victoria West
Hollins Student Conference (2012-2016)
This paper analyzes President Obama’s rhetoric in his two inaugural addresses in order to determine how his presidential rhetoric conforms to and violates current rhetorical traditions in inaugural addresses. For this paper a rhetorical analysis of Obama’s addresses was performed using a form of genre criticism. The components for this genre criticism were drawn from Vanessa B. Beasley’s work on presidential rhetoric in her book You, the People: American National Identity in Presidential Rhetoric. Anticipated results of this analysis will show that President Obama’s presidential rhetoric is more secular than previous presidents. The results will also illustrate that President Obama’s …

Rethinking Fdi: China’S Geopolitical Move Into Europe, John Harris, Dr. Wade Jacoby
Rethinking Fdi: China’S Geopolitical Move Into Europe, John Harris, Dr. Wade Jacoby
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The magnitude of Chinese outward foreign direct investment (FDI) flows has skyrocketed in the past decade. In the wake of the Chinese “Going Out” policy, many high profile Chinese firms are buying up companies in all regions of the world. It is curious that Chinese firms are poised to allocate large amounts of capital abroad so early on in their development. But what is more puzzling is the destination of outward FDI from China. Typically, a country’s FDI is determined by economic, cost-cutting motives. Chinese firms, however, tend to focus on areas that do not maximize their economic returns. This …

Mapping Civil Society: An Experiment In Ngo Coordination, Madeleine Gleave, Dr. Daniel Nielson
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Our research took us to the red dirt and bustling streets of Uganda. There we sought to understand how non-governmental organizations behave. We were interested in understanding the coordination behavior of NGOs in Uganda and India. With the on-site mentorship of Professor Daniel Nielson, we conducted a randomized controlled trial in the field that involved randomly assigning a subset of NGOs in our sample the ability to use an online NGO project mapping tool that we generated (to view, see: http://ngocoordinationug.tumblr.com/).
Buzzwords Without Borders: Three Field Experiments In Individual Donation Behavior, Scott Jackson, Dr. Joshua Gubler
Buzzwords Without Borders: Three Field Experiments In Individual Donation Behavior, Scott Jackson, Dr. Joshua Gubler
Journal of Undergraduate Research
In 2009, the Pew Internet & American Life Project reported that over the preceding twelve months, 67% of Americans “contributed to a charity or non-profit organization other than their place of worship” (Smith et al., 2009). The study also found that 11% of Internet users had gone online to donate money to a nonprofit or charitable organization in the preceding year. In 2002, the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University reported that the average amount donated by American donor households was $1,872 (Center, 2006). These studies show that modern nonprofits access a large market of potential donors and wealth when …
Manufacturing Polarization: The Role Of The Internet In Corporate Media And Opinion Formation, Colin Longhurst
Manufacturing Polarization: The Role Of The Internet In Corporate Media And Opinion Formation, Colin Longhurst
All Theses And Dissertations
The primary concern of this thesis is tracing and articulating the political consequences of the Internet as applied to the formation of public opinion. This thesis will present a critical interpretation of a larger theoretical problem while concentrating on two related empirical cases. The broad question that this thesis will ultimately address is this: how, and to what extent has the Internet provided a new platform for the continued ideological hegemony of the American elite? Can an empiric relation be drawn between the rise of Internet-based technologies and contemporary political polarization in public opinion? How has the digital market for …
Regional Regimes For The Defense Of Democracy And Coups D’Etat, Jacob P. Wobig
Regional Regimes For The Defense Of Democracy And Coups D’Etat, Jacob P. Wobig
Department of Political Science: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Does international law work, and if so, how? In the last twenty years eight regional intergovernmental organizations have adopted treaties requiring all participants to be democracies and specifying sanctions to be leveled against members that cease to be democracies. In this work I examine to what extent these agreements are helping protect the governments of their members from coups. I find that, between 1991 and 2008, states subject to these treaties were less likely to experience attempted coups d’etat, and were less likely to be overthrown when coups were attempted, but that the evidence varies widely in particular cases. Case …
A Theory Of Motivated Recall: Determinants Of Recall Of Political Information, Robert Richards, Dr. Christopher Karpowitz
A Theory Of Motivated Recall: Determinants Of Recall Of Political Information, Robert Richards, Dr. Christopher Karpowitz
Journal of Undergraduate Research
A great deal of political research has analyzed how people form their opinions about candidates and issues. Two models, drawing heavily from cognitive psychology have emerged: the memory-based model (Zaller and Feldman 1992; Huckfeldt et al 1999) and the on-line model (Taber, Lodge, and Glathar 2001). Though the mechanics differ, both models assume a person recalls some sort of information when forming or reporting an opinion. Thus, political opinions depend largely on recall of political information.
To Act And Not Be Acted Upon: A Look At State-Building In Bosnia, Kurt Hepler, Dr. Nicholas Wheeler
To Act And Not Be Acted Upon: A Look At State-Building In Bosnia, Kurt Hepler, Dr. Nicholas Wheeler
Journal of Undergraduate Research
In the wake of the brutal wars between Serbs, Croats, and Bosniaks following the breakup of former Yugoslavia, many international organizations (IOs) and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) poured into Bosnia and Herzegovina. These organizations were tasked with helping the country rebuild its badly damaged political, social, and economic infrastructure. But is there a point at which international organizations become too entrenched in the development of the country they are trying to help? My research project sought to answer this question through a comprehensive study of the impact that high levels of international involvement had on the development of state capacity in …
A Little Help For My Friends: Do Foreign Aid Donors Reject Ngos In Favor Of Their Blatantly Corrupt Allies?, Nicholas Jones, Dr. Darren Hawkins
A Little Help For My Friends: Do Foreign Aid Donors Reject Ngos In Favor Of Their Blatantly Corrupt Allies?, Nicholas Jones, Dr. Darren Hawkins
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Our research examines whether donor countries care about the quality of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) when giving foreign aid to poor countries. When donor states give foreign aid to recipient states, such the US giving foreign aid to Uganda, the donor states must choose what is called a channel of delivery. This is the channel through which the donor’s aid will reach the intended beneficiaries. Donors can opt to channel their aid directly through the recipient government, or they can bypass the recipient government and instead utilize a non-state channel, such as an NGO. In past times, many donors have chanelled …

The Reaction Of Small States To The Advancement Of The People's Republic Of China In The South China Sea, Michael Miller
The Reaction Of Small States To The Advancement Of The People's Republic Of China In The South China Sea, Michael Miller
Honors Theses
This paper will outline the internal and external factors that have spurred the People's Republic of China (PRC) to issue strong rhetoric and naval expansion in the defense of their claims to territory in the South China Sea (SCS). An analysis of the PRC's posturing will provide the contextual background necessary for answering the following research question central to this paper. What strategies have relatively less capable states engaged in the region as a reaction to the advancing capacity of the PRC? The escalation of tensions between the PRC and other states in the region, namely , the Republic of …
“The Living Are Getting Rarer”: The Causes And Consequences Of The International Trade In White Rhinoceros Horns Under The Convention On International Trade In Endangered Species, Alisha Falberg
Penn State Journal of Law & International Affairs (2012 - Present)
In 2012, more than 400 South African white rhinoceros were poached and killed for their horns. The horns, used in ancient Asian medicines, are falsely believed to cure diseases. They are currently worth thousands of dollars on the black market because the white rhinoceros is an endangered species and the trade in its horns is strictly regulated under the United Nations Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).The two countries at the center of this crisis are South Africa, where the majority of the world’s white rhinoceros live and are being poached, and Vietnam, …
