The Ogaadeen Question and Changes in Somali Identity
The problem of Somali nationalism within the Ethiopian state appears to be intractable. This chapter examines the dynamics of multinational states to see what this means for changes within modern Ethiopia. It explores changes in the identities of the national groups living in Africa's Horn. The chapter provides a dialectical analysis of state coherence and national identity. It suggests a bargaining strategy must be attuned to the constantly chan…
Carter Johnson, Partition and Post-War Violence Case Study of Moldova and Pridnestrovie
Partition advocates argue that ethnic groups must be separated completely in order to prevent renewed violence but Moldova is an exception with its large “stay-behind” minority and a lack of renewed violence. This chapter uses Moldova to develop partition theory, presenting an institutionalized explanation that focuses on the interaction between state-building and minority collaboration in a post-war context. The chapter argues that strong state …
Report on the Meeting of the Political Science Members of the National Academy of Sciences
With assistance of the APSA, the political science members of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) held their standing meeting at the annual APSA convention in Chicago. The purposes of these meetings are two-fold: First, as required, to discuss ways that political science can fulfill the NAS mission in providing scientific evidence to address consequential public issues that come from queries posed by various agencies of government; and second,…
Rational Islamophobia in Europe
Social and political relations between Europe and the Muslim world are politically fractious. Attacks in Madrid (March 2004) and London (July 2005), and the riots in suburban Paris in November 2005 and November 2007, have all been attributed to “Muslims”. Political parties in Europe (for example the Front National in France, which placed second in the presidential elections of 2002), have mobilized opinion against a Muslim threat to Europe. Relat…
Fifth Nations and Nationalism debate on David Laitin's Nations, States, and Violence
Religion, Terrorism and Public Goods
Can rational choice modeling explain why Hamas, Taliban, Hezbollah and other radical religious rebels are so lethal? The literature rejects theological explanations. We propose a club framework, which emphasizes the function of voluntary religious organizations as efficient providers of local public goods in the absence of government provision. The sacrifices religious clubs require are economically efficient (Iannaccone (1992)), making them well…
The Political Science of Peter J. Katzenstein
Peter Katzenstein is a prodigiously productive scholar. As a comparativist, a student of international relations, an historian, and one who has successfully bridged the qualitative and quantitative divide in our discipline, he has made signal contributions to general international relations, political economy, security studies, European and German studies, Asian and Japanese studies, and political science in general. In this brief résumé, seven o…
African Outcomes
Eli Berman and David Laitin
The three books under review reflect a radically altered agenda in social science, affected by the attacks of September 11, 2001, in which international terrorism in general and suicide missions in particular are “hot” topics. But because (sadly) new cases are recorded daily, the analyses in these books must be considered exploratory
Mann's dark side
The Dark Side of Democracy: Explaining Ethnic Cleansing was written by one of the premier macro-historical sociologists writing in the early twenty-first century. Through his two-volume study of The Sources of Social Power , Mann carries forward the great tradition of Marx, Weber and Moore with his vast historical knowledge, his conceptual innovations (portraying power in its separate military, economic, political and ideological components), and…
Caucasian Crucibles
Culture and National Identity
Relying on data from language use, religion and exposure to popular culture, this contribution evaluates the extent to which there is a cultural divide separating member states of the EU from Eastern European applicant states. To address this issue, the study makes three claims. First, despite the vibrancy of national cultures within Europe, there is an emergent cultural configuration that unites the continent. Second, the applicant states are ve…

Revolutionary Change in Somalia
Leadership
In the field of political science in general and in the study of international organizations in particular, leadership has been a particularly neglected concept. It has served as a kind of residual category —a handy, or bothersome, exogenous variable. Attempts that have been made, in the international organization context, to isolate leadership as an independent variable and to proceed with comparative analysis have, at best, centered on whether …
