SUMMARY:Recruitment Job Talk with Marko Klasnja
DESCRIPTION:Recruitment Job Talk with Marko Klasnja \nDateNovember 21\, 2014 \nTime12:00pm to 1:30pm \nLocation\n4357 Bunche Hall \nContact \nPresenter:Marko Klasnja\, New York UniversityTitle: “Corruption and the Incumbency Disadvantage: Theory and Evidence”Abstract:Incumbents in many developing democracies face significant disadvantages when seeking reelection\, in stark contrast to the well-known incumbency advantage that exists in the U.S. and other mature democracies. Here I propose and test a new explanation for this incumbency disadvantage: corruption. Formally\, I show that incumbents become more disadvantaged as the cost of committing corruption decreases\, as the quality of the pool of candidates for office deteriorates\, and when gains to corruption increase with time spent in office. I test these hypotheses by developing innovative measures of local corruption in Romania. Identification comes from two discontinuities: (1) national rules tying mayoral salaries to thresholds in town populations that cause jumps in the opportunity cost of corruption and thus its incidence\, and (2) close elections that assign incumbency status to candidates in an as-if random fashion. This strategy provides strong evidence that the large incumbency disadvantage found in Romanian local elections is caused by the incidence of corruption and the large seniority premium to corruption exploited by Romanian mayors. \nEvent Details:  \nParking | Directions \nPlease register here:

DESCRIPTION:International Law/IR Workshop with Wayne Sandoltz \nDateNovember 21\, 2014 \nTime2:00pm to 3:30pm \nLocation\n4357 Bunche Hall \nContact \nPresenter:Wayne Sandoltz\, University of Southern CaliforniaTitle: “Law and Politics in a Trustee Court: Amnesty Laws and the Inter-American System”Abstract:In a series of decisions starting in 2001\, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) has ruled that amnesty laws that create impunity for serious violations of human rights violate the American Convention on Human Rights and other treaties.  In addition\, the IACtHR has\, in some of its decisions\, taken the extraordinary step of nullifying national amnesty laws.  We argue that the work of the Inter-American Court and its partner institution\, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights\, can be understood as that of trustees.  Our central claim is that the Commission and the Court will try to expand the fulfillment of human rights in the Americas but that they modulate their decisions in light of the domestic politico-legal context in respondent states.  The Commission controls the timing of when cases arrive at the Court\, and the Court controls the scope of final decisions. We offer a set of propositions regarding the timing of decisions\, the scope of decisions (narrow versus expansive)\, and the degree to which decisions follow the Court’s existing jurisprudence.  The analysis of all fourteen of the Court’s amnesty decisions is generally consistent with our propositions.Paper: Click here to download. \nEvent Details:  \nParking | Directions \nPlease register here:

SUMMARY:Electoral Geography\, Strategic Mobilization\, and Implications for Voter Turnout
DESCRIPTION:Electoral Geography\, Strategic Mobilization\, and Implications for Voter Turnout \nDateNovember 22\, 2013 \nTime6:00am to 7:30am \nLocation\n4357 Bunche Hall \nContact \nWhen will parties mobilize the electoral support of low-income voters? This discussion presents evidence that rates of turnout among low-income citizens reflect legislators’ and parties’ electoral incentives to be responsive to the poor\, and that these electoral incentives are determined by electoral geography – the joint geographic distribution of legislative seats and low-income voters across electoral districts. Further\, this discussion demonstrates that under SMD electoral rules\, low-income voters are more likely to vote in those electoral districts in which they are likely to be pivotal. By presenting a strategic mobilization account of voter turnout\, this discussion breaks with current accounts of voter turnout that emphasize facilitative and motivational individual- and system-level factors. Instead\, this discussion argues that low-income voters’ turnout decisions\, in fact\, reflect parties’ electoral incentives to cultivate and mobilize a low-income constituency. \nEvent Details:  \nParking | Directions \nPlease register here:

I introduce a class of fast variational inference algorithms that allows for models to be fit quickly and accurately. \nEvent Details:  \nParking | Directions \nPlease register here:

SUMMARY:Felony Status\, Participation\, and Political Reintegration: Results from a field experiment
DESCRIPTION:Felony Status\, Participation\, and Political Reintegration: Results from a field experiment \nDateNovember 21\, 2013 \nTime4:00am to 5:30am \nLocation\n4357 Bunche Hall \nContact \nHow does American’s high rate of incarceration shape political participation? Few studies have examined the direct effects of incarceration on patterns of political engagement. Answering this question is particularly relevant for the 93% of formerly incarcerated individuals who are eligible to vote. Drawing on new administrative data from Connecticut\, we show that felons vote at much lower rates than comparable non-felons prior to being incarcerated. From this low baseline\, incarceration substantially reduces post-release registration rates and has small and ambiguous effects on post-release voting. Building on these observational findings\, we present evidence from a field experiment showing that a simple informational outreach campaign to released felons can recover a large proportion of the reduction in participation observed following incarceration. The treatment effect estimates imply that efforts to reintegrate released felons into the political process can substantially reduce the participatory consequences of incarceration. \nEvent Details:  \nParking | Directions \nPlease register here:

SUMMARY:REP Workshop -  Tianna Paschel\, UC Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:REP Workshop –  Tianna Paschel\, UC Berkeley  \nDateNovember 14\, 2016 \nTime3:00pm to 4:30pm \nLocation\n4357 Bunche Hall  \nContact \nAbstract:After decades of denying racism and underplaying cultural diversity\, Latin American states began adopting transformative ethno-racial legislation in the late 1980s. In addition to symbolic recognition of indigenous peoples and black populations\, governments in the region created a more pluralistic model of citizenship and made significant reforms in the areas of land\, health\, education\, and development policy. Becoming Black Political Subjects explores this shift from color blindness to ethno-racial legislation in two of the most important cases in the region: Colombia and Brazil. Drawing on archival and ethnographic research\, Tianna Paschel shows how\, over a short period\, black movements and their claims went from being marginalized to become institutionalized into the law\, state bureaucracies\, and mainstream politics. The strategic actions of a small group of black activists—working in the context of domestic unrest and the international community’s growing interest in ethno-racial issues—successfully brought about change. Paschel also examines the consequences of these reforms\, including the institutionalization of certain ideas of blackness\, the reconfiguration of black movement organizations\, and the unmaking of black rights in the face of reactionary movements.Introduction can be found here \nEvent Details:  \nParking | Directions \nPlease register here:

SUMMARY:American Politics Workshop with John Bullock
DESCRIPTION:American Politics Workshop with John Bullock \nDateNovember 17\, 2014 \nTime3:00pm \nLocation\n4357 Bunche Hall \nContact \nPresenter:John Bullock\, Yale UniversityTitle: “Education and Attitudes toward Redistribution in the United States.”Abstract:Americans increasingly favor education as a solution to the problem of income inequality. But little attention has been paid to the effects of education on attitudes toward inequality and redistribution. This paper examines those effects. It presents results based on longitudinal and repeated cross-sectional data which suggest that\, on average\, secondary education makes Americans more accepting of economic inequality and less favorable toward redistribution. There is thus an irony to the popularity of education as a remedy for inequality: even as education reduces inequality in some ways\, it may promote inequality by promoting opposition to major redistributive programs.Click here to download the paper. \nEvent Details:  \nParking | Directions \nPlease register here:

This publicly driven democratization required three types of deliberative catalysts—each helping to circumvent anti-gay bias\, including conscious and unconscious bias. Lessons drawn from the LGBT case further suggest that these three deliberative catalysts could foster transformative public deliberation on racial bias\, especially bias that contributes to violence. \nEvent Details:  \nParking | Directions \nPlease register here:

SUMMARY:International Law/IR Workshop with Christopher Whytock
DESCRIPTION:International Law/IR Workshop with Christopher Whytock \nDateNovember 14\, 2014 \nTime2:00pm to 3:30pm \nLocation\n4357 Bunche Hall \nContact \nPresenter:Christopher A. Whytock (UC Irvine\, School of Law)Title: “From International Law and International Relations to Law and World Politics”Abstract:International relations (IR) scholars now widely agree that law matters in world politics. But so far they have focused almost exclusively on one type of law—public international law—and primarily on one aspect of world politics—international relations. I argue that by doing so IR scholars are missing types of law that are equally if not more important to international relations than public international law. Moreover\, by neglecting types of law that are important to transnational relations—that is\, the cross-border activity of private actors—IR scholarship on international law is behind the more general trend in IR scholarship away from state-centric approaches toward more holistic analyses of world politics. I therefore advocate a move from the study of international law and international relations (IL/IR) to a research agenda on law and world politics (L/WP). As a step in that direction\, this paper focuses on two fields of law that are largely missing in IR research—foreign relations law and private international law—and explains how they matter in world politics and how a better understanding of them will help IR scholars advance knowledge of international cooperation\, international conflict\, and global governance.Paper: Click here to download. \nEvent Details:  \nParking | Directions \nPlease register here:

DESCRIPTION:Macro Shifts in Civil War: Government Expansion\, Rebel Deployment\, and Civilian Displacement in the Vietnam War \nDateNovember 15\, 2013 \nTime7:00am to 8:30am \nLocation\n11377 Bunche Hall \nContact \nHow a civil war unfolds depends on the key questions of whether rebels can find permanent sanctuary\, where the government can maintain authority\, and where civilians choose to live. How are these three macro factors related\, and how can we rigorously track them over time? I investigate the interaction and trend of these forces in an empirically important and contentious case of counterinsurgency in the later part of the Vietnam War (1966-1972). I introduce a variety of novel measures developed from wartime intelligence estimates\, a large scale panel survey that rates conditions across communities\, and geospatial measures of human activity. Rather than a static quagmire\, trends in rebel base locations\, government reach into the countryside\, and population movements all point to a highly dynamic and shifting strategic situation. Despite U.S. withdrawal\, the evidence points toward a country-wide consolidation of government power\, consistent with government victory. The results provide insight into the contemporary optimism about Vietnamization of the war and the strategic necessity rebel groups face to escalate an irregular conflict to a conventional conflict. \nEvent Details:  \nParking | Directions \nPlease register here:

SUMMARY:Fear and Loathing Across Party Lines: New Evidence on Group Polarization
DESCRIPTION:Fear and Loathing Across Party Lines: New Evidence on Group Polarization \nDateNovember 12\, 2013 \nTime4:15am to 5:45am \nLocation\n4357 Bunche Hall \nContact \nWhen defined in terms of social identity and affect toward in- and out-groups\, the polarization of the American electorate has clearly increased. We document the scope and consequences of affective polarization using implicit\, explicit\, and behavioral indicators. Our evidence demonstrates not only that hostile feelings for the out-party are ingrained or automatic in voters’ psyches\, but also that affective polarization based on party surpasses polarization based on race and other social cleavages. After documenting the extent of implicit party polarization\, we show that party cues exert powerful effects on non-political judgments and behaviors. Partisans discriminate against out partisans\, and do so to a degree that exceeds discrimination based on race. In concluding\, we note that heightened partisan affect and the intrusion of partisan bias into non-political domains means that American parties now resemble the model of the “mass membership” party. \nEvent Details:  \nParking | Directions \nPlease register here:

SUMMARY:Political Theory Workshop: Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Political Theory Workshop: Panel Discussion \nDateNovember 7\, 2014 \nTime4:00pm \nLocation\n4357 Bunche Hall \nContact \nPresenter:Panel with: Elisabeth Anker (George Washington University) and Cristina Beltrán (New York University)Title: “Willful Subjects”Overview:The panelists take as their starting point the distributed and material quality of human agency to explore the racialized and gendered dynamics of domination and opportunity\, and ask how such practices might expose new resources for political action. Drawing on literature\, film\, political theory\, current events\, and social movement literature\, they seek to consider how the Left might cultivate a language of agentic power that does not cede the language of individual agency to the Right.View panelists’ topics and abstracts here.Paper: Click here to download Elisabeth Anker’s paper.Click here to download Cristina Beltrán’s paper. \nEvent Details:  \nParking | Directions \nPlease register here:
