The Politics of Perception
While the desire of major powers for spheres of influence in smaller states has been extensively researched, the formation of public opinion in such states remains understudied. Using a series of Central Asian Barometer surveys, this study explores the factors associated with individuals’ foreign policy preferences among lesser powers neighbouring larger powers. We focus on the role of ethnic identity, language, and information sources in shaping…
When Are Gender Quotas Fulfilled? Party Strategy and Historical Memory in Ukrainian City Elections
Many studies have investigated why countries adopt gender quotas for their elections. In this article, we answer a different question: why do political parties comply with gender quotas when the costs of noncompliance are absent or minimal? To answer this question, we analyze data from 1,600 party lists and 106 parties competing across 121 cities in the 2015 municipal elections in Ukraine. Our subnational approach tests whether contextual factors…
Analysis of Trauma Injuries Among the Minority Population in Southern Israel—a District-Wide Study
Nomination and list placement of ethnic minorities under open-list proportional rules
Whither the party vote bonus? Stand-down agreements in Ukraine's mixed-member system
National Subversion of Supranational Goals
The structural funds were designed to give the European Commission supranational control over where regional aid was spent. In this article, we argue that domestic ‘pork-barrel’ politics determine which regions are awarded regional aid in the new member states of Eastern Europe. Support for our argument comes from a dataset that includes 1,688 European Regional Development Fund grants to Latvia's 118 regions and 1,533 pre-accession Phare awards t…
Minority Group Size, Unemployment, and the Extreme Right Vote
Objectives I test the importance of demographic and economic contextual variables for the success of extreme right parties. Methods I employ subnational data from the crucial case of L atvia to capture the effects of minority group size and economic change on the extreme right vote. Ethnic L atvians constitute a bare majority of the L atvian population and GDP dropped by 18 percent in 2009. Results I find that localities with high or rising unemp…
The legitimacy of foreign intervention in elections
The empirical and theoretical study of the effect of foreign intervention in the electoral processes of states is exceedingly weak. Using insights from the nationalism literature, this article provides a theoretical argument on domestic reactions to foreign interference in a state's internal politics. It then tests the predictions generated by the argument using mass survey data in Ukraine. The article analyses the Ukrainian people's reaction to …
Does a Nationalist Card Make for a Weak Hand
This article tests theories of group threat, competition, contact, and shared pain. The author argues that economic downturns undermine rather than increase support for prejudice. The absolute pain of a recession is felt by all groups in society, even if the relative costs are often distributed unevenly across groups. While nationalists can scapegoat minorities for economic woes, competing elites have incentives to adopt economic frames that focu…
Merra
The Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications (MERRA) was undertaken by NASA’s Global Modeling and Assimilation Office with two primary objectives: to place observations from NASA’s Earth Observing System satellites into a climate context and to improve upon the hydrologic cycle represented in earlier generations of reanalyses. Focusing on the satellite era, from 1979 to the present, MERRA has achieved its goals with signifi…
Interest versus Identity
To what extent do economic factors accentuate or mitigate ethno-cultural fault lines in Ukrainian politics? Previous analyses of Ukrainian elections have focused on Ukraine's ethno-cultural regional divide, which splits the Ukrainophone West and Center from the Russian-speaking East and South. A newly-fashioned subnational dataset that includes ethno-linguistic, economic, and electoral data for Ukraine's 225 territorial election districts is used…

Which Minority is Appeased? Coalition Potential and Redistribution in Latvia and Ukraine
This article tests fiscal appeasement, needs-based and coalition potential hypotheses for redistribution in post-Soviet Latvia and Ukraine. I argue that the government's decision to reward a minority population depends on the coalition potential of minority parties and voters. In Latvia, the non-participation of minority parties in governing coalitions means that the distribution of spoils among coalition partners does not benefit the regions in …
