After Nuclear Midnight: The Impact Of A Nuclear War On India And Pakistan, Karthika Sasikumar

Faculty Publications

During the past decade, computer models have predicted that the physical impacts of a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan, or even a single strike on a large city, would be devastating. The social, economic, and political impacts – although less well known – would also be crippling and would reverberate throughout the world. Efforts to use “Armageddon estimates” to scare the people of India and Pakistan have thus far not significantly reduced the risk of nuclear weapons use in this turbulent region. However, the increasing penetration of television and social media may give members of the public a better …

The Boundaries Of Partisan Gerrymandering, John M. Greabe

Law Faculty Scholarship

[Excerpt] “In my most recent column, I expressed concern about the effectiveness of the constitutional decision rules that currently govern gerrymandering – the redrawing of electoral districts in a manner that favors the incumbent majority at the expense of those out of power.

Briefly, the Constitution has not been interpreted to prohibit redistricting with an eye toward advancing the interests of the political party in power. But it has been interpreted to bar legislators from redistricting on racial grounds – at least in most circumstances.

The problem is that voters from certain racial groups tend to vote overwhelmingly for …

The Seeds Of Change: Attitudinal Stability And The Direction Of Attitudinal Change Across The Lifespan, Johnathan C. Peterson

Department of Political Science: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Folk wisdom has long held that people become more conservative as they grow older. The empirics behind this claim, however, are not definitive. Utilizing panel data from the Michigan Youth-Parent Socialization Panel study and a longitudinal sample of Australian twins, my dissertation answers this question and many others as I examine patterns of attitudinal stability and the direction of attitudinal change when it does occur. These data allowed me to longitudinally track attitudinal change at the individual level. I first uncovered latent classes defined by patterns of attitudinal stability across the lifespan. The majority of people in these latent classes …

The Corinthian

The article focuses on Senator Margaret Chase Smith’s speech she gave on the Senate floor on June 1, 1950. Her speech took place during the Cold War when tensions were high between the democratic United States and the communist Soviet Union. President Truman’s policy of containment and the anticommunist crusade taking place in the United States created an atmosphere of fear among Americans that politicians used to advance their careers. “Declaration of Conscience” was Senator Smith’s stance against the exploitation of fear for political gain and the first time someone spoke out against the corrupt Joseph McCarthy, whose slanderous witch …

Journal of Interdisciplinary Conflict Science

By employing a phenomenological approach, this research provides findings relating to acculturation strategies of sojourners …

Disamping itu regulasi pemilu untuk masalah black campaign yang ada pada saat ini secara substansi sudah cukup baik karena dari bunyi pasal-pasal yang disangkakan kepada pelaku black campaign sudah mewakili dalam hal …

Pembelahan Ideologi, Kontestasi Pemilu, Dan Persepsi Ancaman Keamanan Nasional: Spektrum Politik Indonesia Pasca 2014?, Ari Ganjar Herdiansah, Junaidi -, Heni Ismiati

Jurnal Wacana Politik

Keamanan geopolitik dan sentimen keagamaan menjadi isu politik yang mencuat di Indonesia pasca 2014. Semenjak Joko Widodo menjadi presiden, isu kedekatannya dengan China seringkali dikemas sebagai citra yang negatif terhadap pemerintahannya. Di sisi lain, menguatnya pengaruh China di Asia Tenggara turut mempengaruhi perubahan peta ekonomi politik di Indonesia. Investasi dan dana pinjaman dari China meningkat tajam yang diiringi kompensasi proyek infrastruktur yang diberikan kepada China. Akan tetapi, memori kolektif masyarakat Indonesia terkait identiknya China dan komunisme menyulut kekhawatiran bangkitnya Partai Komunis Indonesia (PKI) di Indonesia. Secara kebetulan, persaingan Gubernur Jakarta 2017 yang diikuti oleh Basuki Tjahaya Purnama, petahana kuat berlatar …

Global Homelessness In A Post- Recession World, Jay Bainbridge, Tony J. Carrizales

Journal of Public Management & Social Policy

The Great Recession has resulted in various changes in homeless populations in municipalities throughout the world. From “unsheltered homeless” in NYC to "rough sleepers" in London and to "sans-abris" in Paris, or "poblacion callejera" in Mexico City, the economic crisis of 2008 impacted economies in ways that put severe pressures on housing, particularly at the lower-income-level brackets. After all, the Great Recession was generated by a housing bubble, which then constricted capital markets for housing. After the immediate crisis, economic stabilization was followed by stagflation or deflation. There were flat or decreasing wages in the middle- to low-income brackets and …

Globalization, Democracy, And Public Space: The Case Of The U.S.- Mexican Border Region, Kimberly Collins

Journal of Public Management & Social Policy

The U.S.-Mexican border is a region discussed in public conversations; a place where vendors, disparate groups of people, public art, and many different levels of government converge; it is a place designed to be a gateway between countries. It is a public space, a place where substantive democracy should be paramount. This paper provides a theoretical overview of public space, democracy, and the main bureaucracy in charge, the Department of Homeland Security. It posits that democracy is limited in the border region, with the use of the public space and the functioning of the bureaucracy, and provides suggestions to improve …
