        Awapara, Omar; 0000-0002-6745-9735 (2015-05)

      • Framing the immigration debate 

        Navarre, Rachel Amanda (2013-05)
        A common theme in immigration studies in the United States is that the discourse around immigration has changed over time. Once a bipartisan issue where unlikely coalitions and partners were common, recent research has ...

      • The French Constitutional Council and deciding to delegate 

        McCoy, David Lee (2012-12)
        Political actors are often perceived as self-preserving, rational actors who rarely give power away voluntarily. Yet the proliferation of independent constitutional courts presents the puzzle of why politicians are willing ...
      • From competition to monopoly : establishing party dominance in post-communist Russia 

        White, Allison Christine (2014-12)
        What explains dominant party emergence and strength and opposition party weakness in Russia? Important structural underpinnings of party dominance, namely a weak party system, were present in Russia even in the 1990s, but ...
      • From linguistic nationalism to ethnic conflict : Sri Lanka in comparative perspective 

        DeVotta, Neil (2001-08)
        Theories of ethnic conflict typically focus on primordialist (historical and psychological), constructivist (sociological), and instrumentalist (elite and rational choice) explanations, thereby under-emphasizing how ...
      • From Marxist-Leninism to market liberalism? : the varied adaptation of Latin America's leftist parties 

        Nogueira-Budny, Daniel (2013-05)

        Martin, Nancy Susanne (2011-05)
        What are the conditions under which terrorist groups turn to party politics? Under what conditions do political parties turn to terrorism? What types of political groups are more likely to turn to or from terrorism? ...
      • Genes, judgments, and evolution : the social and political consequences of distributional and differential conflict 

        Meyer, John Michael (2012-05)
        The following argument offers a sharper micro-foundational lens for studying human political and social behavior by demonstrating how political science might better incorporate the theory of evolution into its behavioral ...
      • Global gatekeeping : domestic politics, grand strategy, and power transition theory 

        Harris, Peter (2013-05)
        Which grand strategies do Great Powers adopt towards rising challengers? When do Great Powers conciliate their potential rivals, and when do they opt for strategies of containment? In this master’s report, I outline an ...
      • Global gatekeeping : how Great Powers respond to rising states 

        Harris, Peter, Ph. D. (2015-05)
        Why do some shifts in power between states pass off peacefully while others result in conflict? Scholars have debated the implications of international power transitions at least since Thucydides in his History of the ...
      • God save this honorable court : religion as a source of judicial policy preferences 

        Blake, William Dawes (2012-05)
        If Supreme Court behavior is structured largely by the policy preferences of the justices, political scientists ought to consider the source of those preferences. Religion is one force that can strongly shape a judge’s ...

        Nichols, Curtis William (2009-12)
        In this dissertation I advance a new, regime style, governing cycle theory to account for the constitutional origins and political dynamics of new majority formation. It is these periodic attempts to reorder politics and ...

        Inbody, Donald Stephen (2009-08)
        While much research has been conducted into the political behavior and attitudes of American military officers, little has been accomplished with respect to enlisted personnel. Most reports assume that the American military ...
      • Harmony of city and soul : Plato and the classical virtue of moderation 

        Rabinowitz, Laura (2014-12)

        Blase, Julie Melissa (2003)
      • High-end demand : markets for legal services and pressure for judicial autonomy in urban China 

        Kinkel, Jonathan Josef (2015-05)
        Most scholars of comparative judicial politics suggest that judicial autonomy emerges from various forms of democratic competition or from a need to assuage the concerns of those investing capital in countries controlled ...

        Marbut, Robert Gordon (2005)
