Agenda building:
The political system can deal with only so many conflicts. Which are selected for attention? Why? What tactics are used by groups to reach officials? The key is how groups define their issue position to others.
Conflicting issue definitions in transportation policy:
For aviation, conflicting definitions of safety. For elderly drivers, it is mobility. For rush hour drivers, the key is congestion alternatives. For big rig trucks, the key is regulation. | | | Linda Cook

Political Science, Department of
Pauline Jones Luong's research focuses on explaining institutional origin and change and, more broadly, regime transition and state formation. It reveals the strengths and limitations of existing institutionalist approaches and highlights the critical role that identity, elite bargaining, and popular mobilization play in the process of institutional design. The primary empirical focus of her work to date has been the former Soviet Union. Her two current book projects on institution-building in mineral-rich states and the international effects of domestic state strategies toward Islamist mobilization, however, both extend beyond the post-communist world. | | | Rose McDermott

Political Science, Department of
It is with sadness that we inform you of the passing of Alan Zuckerman, Professor of Political Science, this past August. Professor Alan Zuckerman came to Brown University in 1970. For 40 years he devoted himself to his students, his colleagues, and to political science. Alan was passionate, intellectual, intense, funny, brilliant, demanding, a Yankees fan and much larger-than life. He was our friend, our mentor, our teacher, a scholar, and a constant challenge to always aim higher. The members of the department grieve for Alan Zuckerman even as we know that he lives on – not simply in our memory but in everything we achieve. For in a very real sense, we are Alan Zuckerman's legacy. |
