A Step Toward Understanding Trust In The Government, Ted Delicath '13
A Step Toward Understanding Trust In The Government, Ted Delicath '13
Res Publica - Journal of Undergraduate Research
Over the last fifty years, trust in government has declined. This paper seeks to further the understanding of trust in government. Using ordinal level survey data from 1998-2012, a crosstabular analysis is used to test governmental trust with broad and specific policy areas. This research challenges part ofPopkin and Dimock’s (2000) research, which asserts that citizens use trust as a heuristic for both broad and specific questions about the government. The empirical findings suggest that citizens distrust the government broadly but trust a wide range of programs implemented by the very government they distrust.
Promoting Democracy In Ethnically Divided Societies: The Benefits Of Combining Partition And Power-Sharing, Abigail Carter '13
Promoting Democracy In Ethnically Divided Societies: The Benefits Of Combining Partition And Power-Sharing, Abigail Carter '13
Res Publica - Journal of Undergraduate Research
Recent conflict resolutions have attempted to explain the best route ofresolving ethnic conflicts within divided societies. This research attempts to engage in the recent debate surrounding conflict resolution which highlights the effects of partition and power-sharing programs upon democratic consolidation. By using a focused-structured comparison of three cases, partition is found to be insufficient in attaining democracy. A combination of partition and power-sharing leads to more democratic consolidation within divided societies. Further, a society which is affluent and gender equal, neighbors other liberal democracies, and fully develops power-sharing institutions will enjoy significant advantages in securing stable and lasting democratic outcomes.

It's My Party And I'Ll Institutionalize If I Want To: Party System Institutionalization In Young Democracies, Zoe Gross '13
Res Publica - Journal of Undergraduate Research
Scholars today mostly agree that party system institutionalization (PSI) is a key ingredient in the transition to a functioning democracy. The question of whether PSI matters is more or less resolved. What is less clear is a general theory of what can help new democracies reach a high level of PSI. The aim of this research is to discover the pre-conditions and elite choices that enhance the level of PSI in new democracies. This research uses two Most Different System designs to explore the results of ten hypotheses that test the relationship between the level of PSI and an array …

Bubble Pop: An Analysis Of Asian Pop Culture And Soft Power Potential, Nick Desideri '13
Res Publica - Journal of Undergraduate Research
Despite scholarly work on Northeast Asia’s growing economic influence, few authors have adequately addressed the region’s increasing cultural clout as well. This paper aims to address this cultural impact in a specific diplomatic context in regards to the South Korea and Japan, and whether their respective pop cultures can be viewed as a source of soft power. An analysis of various academic works and media stories concludes that 1) neither country has been able to turn their soft power resources into actual political leverage, though 2) Japan’s mishandling of its national branding puts South Korea in a much more advantageous …
Why They Rise Up, Or Not: A Study Of Linguistic Minorities And Ethnic-National Mobilization, Yelei Kong '13
Why They Rise Up, Or Not: A Study Of Linguistic Minorities And Ethnic-National Mobilization, Yelei Kong '13
Res Publica - Journal of Undergraduate Research
Most theories ofnationalism focus on majority nationalism and do not provide an adequate explanation of the inaction of most ethnic minorities. This paper adopts the political process model from social movement theory to study the factors that prompt linguistic minorities to mobilization on ethno-national grounds. Using a large-N statistical model with data drawn from the Minority at Risk database, the results indicate that the higher capacity, the more opportunity for action, and the better the issue is framed, the more likely linguistic minorities would mobilize.
Power And Fear: Explaining The Authoritarian Personality, Ryan Winter '13
Power And Fear: Explaining The Authoritarian Personality, Ryan Winter '13
Res Publica - Journal of Undergraduate Research
As the ghost of Franklin Delano Roosevelt once said, “There is nothing to fear but fear itself. And also me.” Truer words were never spoken. Actually, these words were never spoken, but were lifted from an article in The Onion, in which the deceased Roosevelt advises Americans to lay aside all other fears and come together in mutual terror of his haunting specter. Sadly, many Americans pay no heed to this sage advice, and continue to be scared stiff by gays, foreigners, taxes, global climate change, and anything else that threatens to interrupt the flow of their life. Bob …

Looking Beyond The Allegory: The True Depiction Of Race In X-Men, Danielle Mueller
Looking Beyond The Allegory: The True Depiction Of Race In X-Men, Danielle Mueller
Symposium on Research and Creative Expression (SORCE)
In 1963, the first issue of X-Men was published, introducing the Marvel Universe and the world to mutants, super-powered individuals born with amazing powers. Feared and hated by the world they have sworn to protect, the mutant X-Men are often interpreted as representing a variety of marginalized groups. Modern scholarship generally focuses on the Bryan Singer film series and mutants as representative of homosexuals and Jews. Despite the validity of these modern readings, this focus has neglected the depiction of race in the original X-Men comics and has reduced the racial message of X-Men to a simple allegory in which …
The Language Of Human Rights: Applying The Communitarian Critique To Global Human Rights Language, Anna Wiersma
The Language Of Human Rights: Applying The Communitarian Critique To Global Human Rights Language, Anna Wiersma
Symposium on Research and Creative Expression (SORCE)
There is a well-known critique of human rights talk in America, often named “the communitarian critique of rights”; however, except for a few hints and moments in the authorship of communitarian thinkers, such as Mary Ann Glendon, this critique is rarely applied to global human rights. Indeed, thinkers like Michael J. Perry say that this critique simply cannot be applied to global human rights. I will argue that the application is there to be made. In her book, Rights Talk, Glendon argues that Americans have particularly harmful rights rhetoric when compared to the rhetoric of other nations. The characteristics of …
Why So Special? The Israel Lobby, Human Rights, And United States Foreign Aid, Stephanie Volz
Why So Special? The Israel Lobby, Human Rights, And United States Foreign Aid, Stephanie Volz
Symposium on Research and Creative Expression (SORCE)
Considered as Israel’s strongest ally, the United States has long maintained a special relationship with Israel. The alliance has remained strong even through challenges such as war, terrorism, and global opinions against Israel. Throughout the lengthy Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the United States has made Israel the top annual recipient of its foreign aid. In addition, the United States defends Israel from accusations regarding the legality of its actions toward Palestine and the Palestinian people. In this paper, I argue that U.S. aid to Israel is predicated on domestic political and special interest concerns. Specifically, I argue that increases in aid to …
Restoring Right Relationships: Restorative Justice And Post-Conflict States, Danielle Mueller
Restoring Right Relationships: Restorative Justice And Post-Conflict States, Danielle Mueller
Symposium on Research and Creative Expression (SORCE)
A view has developed among peace and conflict scholars that peace cannot persist in post-conflict societies without also establishing justice. This means peace scholars and practitioners need to think about justice and use a conception of justice to guide their peacemaking actions. However, even though most people have an intuitive assumption that "justice" is an obvious and commonly understood concept, there are conflicting conceptions of justice. Many adopt a Kantian position on justice and assume it is synonymous with retribution. However, retribution is not the only conception of justice. In this project, I argue that the conception of retributive justice …
