Polynesian settlement of the Marquesas Islands
Hanamiai is a coastal dune site in the Marquesas Islands. The continuous cultural sequence extends from initial Polynesian colonization through European contact. We present a revised site chronology based on 14 new dates and Bayesian modeling of the entire series of 22 age estimates. Our results show that the start boundary for the earliest Hanamiai phase is AD 1160-1266 (95% credible interval). We also compared the Hanamiai chronology with the c…

Who's Running America
A classic of American government, Who's Running America? continues to demonstrate how power is concentrated in large institutions no matter who inhabits the White House. The eighth edition of this best-selling text focuses on the Obama administration and the ways in which it is different from but also similar to administrations that have come before. Based on years of exhaustive data compilation and analysis, Who's Running America? explores the i…

The Friends of Bill and Hillary
If the Clinton administration “looks like America,” then we have become a nation of lawyers and lobbyists. Perhaps it should come as no surprise that almost all of the top jobs in the Clinton administration are filled by lawyers, lobbyists, politicians, and bureaucrats. Unlike his predecessors in the White House, Bill Clinton never had any experience outside of politics and government. Among Clinton's top advisors only his Chief of Staff, home-to…

Socialism and Militarism
Socialism is not merely a way of organizing an economy; it is also a secular religion. And as a religion it cannot be falsified; it cannot be dis-confirmed by empirical evidence in the minds of its adherents. Non-believers might think that the spectacular collapse of socialism around the world—its demonstrated unpopularity and illegitimacy—would impress Marxists in American universities. But academic Marxists remain insulated from world events, s…

A Modest Rejoinder
Socialism and Militarism
“National wars against the imperial powers are not only possible and probable; they are inevitable, progressive, and revolutionary” V. I. Lenin. “It is obvious that the use or threat of force no longer can or must be an instrument of foreign policy” M. S. Gorbachev. The rhetoric of the leadership of the world's most powerful Marxist state has changed over the last seventy years. The more recent oratory is warmly welcomed in Western circles, espec…

Freedom vs. equality

Socialism and Equality in Cross-National Perspective
It is widely asserted that socialist economies are equalitarian. The distinguished Yale political scientist Charles E. Lindblom labels this proposition undeniable: It is in communist provision of ... some degree of equality in the distribution of income and wealth that the communist claim to approximate the humanitarian vision ... seems undeniable. On these fronts communist systems have to be credited with great accomplishments, on the whole prob…
Explaining Government Contraction
IT IS RARE that a major governmental function contracts in size. Indeed, supply-side theories of governmental size suggest that growth is an inevitable result of various government processes, e.g., bureacratic expansionism (Niskanen 1971; Borcherding 1971), interest group interaction (Downs 1957; Lewis-Beck and Rice 1985), productivity lags in the public sector (Baumol 1967), fiscal illusion (Wagner 1976; Cameron 1978), and the cumulative uninten…
Federal Tax Reform
Government Finances In Declining Central Cities
The relationship between population decline and changes in the revenue and expenditure patterns of 318 U. S. central cities during the 1970s are examined using both static and dynamic models. Declining cities experienced less growth in revenues, especially own-source revenues than growing cities. Declining cities became more dependent upon other governments for fiscal relief. But declining central cities were more successful at reducing the rate …
Party and Policy in the States
Current theory and research in American state politics challenge us to examine the relationship between the party in control of state government and changes in welfare spending in each of the fifty states in separate longitudinal analyses over thirty years. Party-policy linkages are found in only twenty of the states. States are classified by both party competition and the policy-relevance of their parties. The theoretical distinction between com…

The Irony of Democracy
A study of American government. In this eleventh edition, Thomas Dye again presents an unrepentant elitist approach to American democracy, contending that it is the elites, and not the masses, that govern the country. While the theme of the text may be uncommon, Dye provides a solid introduction to American government and politics through contrasting elite theory to democratic theory and to modern pluralist political theory in examinations of the…

Predicting City Government Structure
This study employs discriminant function analysis to test the capacity of demographic and regional variables to predict city governmental structure-mayor versus manager government, partisan versus nonpartisan elections, and ward versus at-large council constituencies. Ambiguities in the existing literature regarding the relative influence of ethnicity versus regionalism on structural reform are clarified. Discriminant function analysis provides a…

A Comparison of Constituency Influences in the Upper and Lower Chambers of a State Legislature
T IS GENERALLY CONCEDED that the voting behavior of legislators is affected by both party and constituency influences. Some legislators identify themselves chiefly with their party, while others perceive their role as one of representing constituency interests.1 Many inquiries have been made into the relative merits of Burkean representation, accountability to constituency, and party responsibility, but few studies have bothered to investigate th…

Policy Analysis and Political Science
Income Inequality and American State Politics
The rapidly expanding research literature in comparative state politics typically measures its dependent and independent variables with references to means, averages, and per capitas for each state. (For example, environmental inputs may be expressed as per capita personal income, percent of population living in urban places, median school year completed by the population over 25, etc.; political characteristics may be expressed as average voter …

State Energy Policies
Taking their policy cues from the federal government, the states have done little to effectively deal with energy problems. In fact, their programs could be styled “federal funds for paper programs.” inasmuch as the state programs have been written to conform to federal language, but not to attack energy problems in a serious fashion. There is great variation among the states in energy program expenditures, but these are not related to economic o…

Metropolitan Integration by Bargaining Among Sub-Areas
The Local-Cosmopolitan Dimension and the Study of Urban Politics
The local-cosmopolitan dimension refers to the scale of social environment in which the individual sees himself. Locals view themselves primarily as members of the local community, while cosmopolitans are more aware of their relationships to larger social organizations. Locals and cosmopolitans among political leaders and residents of sixteen suburban communities were identified by their consistency of response on a five item local-cosmopolitan s…

Suburban Differences and Metropolitan Policies
City-Surburban Social Distance and Public Policy
This study describes certain policy differences between city and suburban governments and attempts to link these to city-suburban differences in status and life style which have been described by urban sociologists. Differences in the social character of city and suburbs appear to result in identifiable contrasts in educational and municipal expenditure levels, and in levels and purposes of taxation and indebtedness. In larger urbanized areas, wh…
