We're less than a week away from Election Day and the presidential race looks as tight as most people anticipated. However, recent media appearances by Kamala Harris have again failed to move the needle in her favor, and may even be accelerating a sense of alienation between independent voters and the Democratic Party as well as growing frustration within the Democratic base. In this second of two episodes looking at the major party platforms, I sit down with my friends and colleagues in Biola University's Political Science Department to break down the party platforms of 2024. In this episode, Drs. Scott Waller and Darren Guerra cover the Democratic Party's platform, which is very different from the GOP platform we covered last time.  Admittedly, all three of us are conservative voters who generally vote Republican, but we're also scholars who are interested in pursuing truth and wisdom. So, even though we bend a rather critical eye on this document, we're working to understand the reasoning behind the Democratic Party's choices in terms of format, length, policy options, etc. that show up in this platform. This is a discussion that seeks to understand how the Democratic Party views the voting public in the context of a significant political realignment. If you've felt a little confused over why the opposing parties seem so different this year, this is a great conversation to understand the political changes afoot in America, and I would highly recommend you listen to it in tandem with our discussion on the GOP platform.

KCSB's Ashley Segat attented "The Choice of Our Lives-For Real" roundtable held by UCSB's Political Science Department, where Professors, Christopher Parker, Bruce Bimber, Alfredo Gonzalez,and Alison Brysk discussed the role of identity, polarization and media.

As America careens towards another presidential election, it's already been a campaign season marked by once in a generation changes such as the pro-life movement getting marginalized inside the GOP, key blocs of voters breaking with the Democratic Party, assassination attempts on Donald Trump, and the list goes on. But what is it that Democrats and Republicans are trying to achieve in this election cycle, besides winning, that is? What does a vote for a Republican or Democrat even mean these days? In the next two episodes of this podcast, I sit down with my friends and colleagues in Biola University's Political Science Department to break down the party platforms of 2024. In this episode, Drs. Scott Waller and Darren Guerra cover the Republican platform, which is a very different kind of platform on many different fronts. As experts in religious liberty issues (Waller) and Constitutional thought (Guerra), Scott and Darren bring both a historical awareness of Republican politics as well as developments in the broader American political system to this conversation.  This is a discussion that seeks to locate what appears to be a different kind of platform document in the context of a significant political realignment.

Russia's longtime influence in Central Asia seemed to fade after the launch of its full-scale war on Ukraine in February 2022, as other countries pursued stronger relations with Central Asian states and active roles in lucrative projects. The Kremlin noticed and has countered with its own initiatives, of which the most binding may be a series of recent agreements that will increase some Central Asian states' dependence on Russia for energy resources. Joining host Bruce Pannier to look at Russia's counter-campaign to preserve its strong position in Central Asia are guests Assel Tutumlu, a lecturer at the International Relations and Political Science Department at the Near East University in Cyprus; Francis Olmos, a senior researcher in Central Asian affairs at Spain's GEOPOL 21 Center and research fellow at the London-based Foreign Policy Centre; and Temur Umarov, a fellow at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center in Berlin.

Vice President Kamala Harris is poised to become the Democratic Party's nominee for president. The path to this nomination and the generation election has been a bit unusual—with President Joe Biden deciding not to pursue re-election but doing so after the primary season has concluded. Thus, there is a rather condensed election season, and Vice President Kamala Harris has worked to bring the Democratic Party together after she received President Biden's endorsement after he withdrew from the race. Given the changing dynamics of the presidential race, we also find ourselves with an unexpected choice for the presidency, Kamala Harris, a former attorney general for California, a senator from California, a former prosecutor, and now the vice president of the United States. Harris is also bi-racial, of South Asian and Black heritage, and she will be the second woman nominated as the standard bearer for one of the two major political parties in the United States. I invited three experts on presidential politics, gender, and race in American politics to join me to discuss Kamala Harris's historic and unique run for the presidency. Mary McHugh, Executive Director of Civic and Community Engagement, Stevens Service Learning Center at Merrimack College and member of the Political Science Department at Merrimack, Valeria Sinclair-Chapman, Deputy Director of the American Association for the Advancement of Science SEA Change Program, and professor of political science at Purdue University, and Linda Beail, Professor of Political Science at Point Loma Nazarene University and co-author of the 2012 book, Framing Sarah Palin: Pit Bulls, Puritans, and Politics, all joined the conversation to think about the presidential race, Kamala Harris, race, gender, masculinity, and partisan politics. We cover a lot of ground, including the presentation of masculinity at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in July, how TikTok and viral memes may influence younger voters, and how Kamala Harris is trying to frame herself and how others are trying to frame her in the course of the abbreviated election cycle. We examine historical contexts for women ascending to office, and how that might be a component of the shifting candidates and how Americans think about elections. We also dive into some of the controversial comments about “crazy cat ladies” and concepts of motherhood, politics, and racial and gendered double binds. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mary McHugh, Executive Director of Civic and Community Engagement, Stevens Service Learning Center at Merrimack College and member of the Political Science Department at Merrimack, Valeria Sinclair-Chapman, Deputy Director of the American Association for the Advancement of Science SEA Change Program, and professor of political science at Purdue University, and Linda Beail, Professor of Political Science at Point Loma Nazarene University and co-author of the 2012 book, Framing Sarah Palin: Pit Bulls, Puritans, and Politics, all joined the conversation to think about the presidential race, Kamala Harris, race, gender, masculinity, and partisan politics. We cover a lot of ground, including the presentation of masculinity at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in July, how TikTok and viral memes may influence younger voters, and how Kamala Harris is trying to frame herself and how others are trying to frame her in the course of the abbreviated election cycle. We examine historical contexts for women ascending to office, and how that might be a component of the shifting candidates and how Americans think about elections. We also dive into some of the controversial comments about “crazy cat ladies” and concepts of motherhood, politics, and racial and gendered double binds. Learn more about your ad choices.

This is “The State Of California.” The White House is maintaining that President Joe Biden will not drop out of the 2024 race despite rumblings across the political world that he should step down following last week's debate. This is poised to be a pivotal moment in the election as even some Democrats are publicly questioning Biden's suitability for a second term, creating fissures in an otherwise united party front. For a closer look, KCBS Radio's Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart were joined by David McCuan, Chair and Professor of the Political Science Department at Sonoma State University.

Eric welcomes Professor Christopher Lynch, Chair of the Political Science Department at Missouri State University, the editor and translator of the most recent edition of Machiavelli's The Art of War and author of Machiavelli on War (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2023). They discuss Machiavelli as statesman, military leader and diplomat and Machiavelli as Political Philosopher, The Art of War as a treatise on combined arms warfighting, Machiavelli as the father of modern grand strategy, his views on war as revealed not only in the Art of War but his posthumously published works The Prince and The Discourses on Livy, whether Machiavelli was a "teacher of evil," his role as one of the progenitors of "realism" in international affairs, whether his teachings prefigure our modern notions of strategic competition between authoritarian states and liberal democracies and "the Prince's Dilemma" -- or what is the proper relationship between political authorities and military leaders, and both the time-bound and timeless nature of Machiavell's arguments. https://a.co/d/0dxfml05 Shield of the Republic is a Bulwark podcast co-sponsored by the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia.

This week on the podcast, Lou DiVizio updates the status of the federal Radiation Exposure Compensation Act which came to an end late last week. Then, Source New Mexico reporter Danielle Prokop asks U.S. Sen. Ben Ray Luján, D-N.M., about his efforts to expand the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act to cover New Mexico.   For context on the efforts to extend and expand RECA, we included a 2021 interview between Russell Contreras and Tina Cordova from the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium. Cordova has been fighting for compensation for New Mexicans for decades. Finally on the show, we break down last week's primary elections with Dr. Timothy Krebs, chair of UNM's Political Science Department. Lou DiVizio asks Krebs to consider why two high-profile district attorney races went well for the incumbents, and whether big wins for progressive Democrats will shape the governor's approach to her policy agenda.  Host: Lou DiVizio    Segments:  Sen.

Her research topics include links between institutions and individuals; legitimacy; fairness; and post-communism.   In this episode, we start by discussing what democracy is, how we measure it, and some of its history. We talk about the election winner-loser gap and subjective wellbeing, and citizens' support for democratic checks and balances. We discuss what civil society is, and its interplay with external actors. We talk about how political legitimacy is established, and what political capacity is. We get specifically into the European Union, and discuss its political legitimacy, respect for national sovereignty, and how it deals with public backlash. Finally, we talk about what drives public support for international humanitarian interventions. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, OLAF ALEX, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

In this episode of 1050 Bascom, we were delighted to talk to Professor Genevieve Bates, a new faculty member in the Political Science Department at UW-Madison. Previously, Prof. Bates was an Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia, and a postdoctoral fellow with the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University. Next fall, she will be teaching a new class we are all excited about entitled, “Transitional Justice in World Politics.” We asked Prof. Bates about her fall class as well as about her research interests in political violence and post-conflict politics, transitional justice, and human rights. We learned a lot and enjoyed the conversation. We hope you will too.

This event was co-organised by the LSE Middle East Centre and the LSE Firoz Lalji Institute for Africa. This panel explored the crisis in Sudan through the prism of ‘disconnection', exploring the various disconnects and discordances that have formed between Sudanese popular groups, state institutions and international institutions. Stopping the violence and addressing Sudan's trauma will ultimately require domestic and international actors to align formal policy-making processes with popular realities on the ground. Speakers explored this notion of disconnection and consider how the sudden displacement of the Sudanese elite from its capital city might re-orient Sudanese politics in future. The panel finally discussed how such disconnections might be repaired. Mai Hassan is Associate Professor in the Political Science Department at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Her work examines topics that span across authoritarian regimes, bureaucracy and public administration, and contentious politics. Kholood Khair is a Sudanese political analyst and the founding director of Confluence Advisory, a "think-and-do" tank based in Khartoum. She is also a radio broadcaster, hosting and co-producing a weekly radio program, Spotlight 249, that is Sudan's first English-language political discussion and debate show aimed at Sudanese youth. Laura Mann is Associate Professor in International Development in the Department of International Development, LSE and a research affiliate of the Firoz Lalji Institute for Africa. Laura is a sociologist whose research focuses on the political economy of development, knowledge and technology. Her regional focus is East Africa (Sudan, Kenya and Rwanda).

In this episode of 1050 Bascom, we were delighted to talk to Professor Marty Davidson, a new faculty member in the Political Science Department at UW-Madison. Next fall he will be teaching two classes: The Political Economy of Race in the US and Crime and Politics. Professor Davidson received his Ph.D. in political science from the University of Michigan. We asked Professor Davidson about his fall courses as well as his research projects and interests. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversation with Prof. Davidson and learned so much. We hope you will too
