Warping Time
political forces often compete to develop powerful narratives that blend past, present, and future into cogent tales with which to shape political debates and action.Consider the following examples:1. Between the 1870s and the 1960s, the history of Reconstruction in America was dominated by the "Dunning school," which emphasized the suffering of southern Whites at the hands of former slaves.This history was designed to justify and fortify America…

How the Jews Defeated Hitler
One of the most common assumptions about World War II is that the Jews did not actively or effectively resist their own extermination at the hands of the Nazis. In this powerful book, Benjamin Ginsberg convincingly argues that the Jews not only resisted the Germans but actually played a major role in the defeat of Nazi Germany. The question, he contends, is not whether the Jews fought but where and by what means. True, many Jews were poorly armed…

The Fall of the Faculty
Until very recently, American universities were led mainly by their faculties, which viewed intellectual production and pedagogy as the core missions of higher education. Today, as Benjamin Ginsberg warns in this eye-opening, controversial book, "deanlets"--administrators and staffers often without serious academic backgrounds or experience--are setting the educational agenda. The Fall of the Faculty examines the fallout of rampant administrative…

The American Lie
Going all the way back to the time of George Washington, much of what we see and hear in the political world consists of lies and deceptions. Despite assurances to the contrary, politics is not about truth, justice, and principle. It is about money, power, and status. As astute political commentator Ben Ginsberg convincingly demonstrates, politicians habitually lie, pretending to fight for principles, in order to conceal their true selfish motive…
Autonomy and Duplicity
While Samuel DeCanio is correct to maintain that the state has considerable autonomy due to the public’s vast ignorance of the government’s affairs, he neglects to consider that the public’s ignorance also stems from the deceptions of the politically powerful, who withhold and distort information in a variety of ways. This can take the form of outright lies; anonymous leaks; press and video releases that don’t mention the originating group or its…

Theodore J. Lowi and Juridical Democracy
By selecting Theodore J. Lowi to serve as its President, the American Political Science Association has recognized his extraordinary scholarly and professional contributions. Indeed, Lowi's work has played a singularly important role in the intellectual development of the profession during the past two decades. He was recognized in an American Political Science Association survey as the most significant political scientist of the 1970s, and conti…
A Post-Electoral Era
We frequently discuss consultants, in what we might call their “causal role” in the political process—the consequences or effects of political consulting. I would like to turn to the other side, that is to look at consultants as an effect rather than a cause. This connects the rise of political consultants with the decline of the political party. If you think about the role of consultants in contemporary politics you can't separate consultants fr…
The Supreme Court and the New Politics of Judicial Power
Most observers of American politics expected the results of the 1968 presidential election to have major implications for the future of American constitutional law. In the year prior to the election, Chief Justice Earl Warren had announced his retirement and President Lyndon Johnson's efforts to promote his friend and confidant, Associate Justice Abe Fortas, to the post had failed. The successful presidential candidate was thus assured the opport…
Elections and the Mobilization of Popular Support
While elections are normally seen as means by which citizens influence leaders, elections can also be viewed as mechanisms which serve to increase elite control over citizens. The opportunity for citizens to participate in leadership selection may also be an opportunity for leaders to coopt citizens by implicating them in the government's creation. This possibility is tested with data from the 1968 and 1972 American presidential elections by comp…
Elections and Public Policy
In the absence of historical opinion survey data, studies of the linkage between popular voting and American public policy have been confined to relatively recent time periods. Questions about these linkages, however, necessarily have a temporal dimension-what is the relationship between voting and policy over time?This paper establishes criteria for citizen policy choice that do not depend on opinion surveys. Data drawn from national party platf…
