Electoral Challenges of Moderate Factions
In the contemporary age of party polarization, moderate members of Congress have found their electoral fortunes to be dependent upon their party s control of the House. Whether Democrat or Republican, members of moderate factions surprisingly receive considerably more support in terms of electoral strategy and finances when their party is in the minority and less when it is in the majority. This paper examines the electoral challenges faced by me…
Five Factions, Two Parties
This paper examines the extent of ideological cohesion and distinction of two Republican congressional factions (the conservative Republican Study Committee and the moderate Republican Main Street Partnership) and three Democratic congressional caucuses (the moderate Blue Dog Coalition, the liberal Congressional Black Caucus, and the liberal Congressional Progressive Caucus) in the House of Representatives from 1994 to 2002. Whereas much of the l…
Fundamentalist Christians, Raunch Culture, and Post-industrial Capitalism
This article argues that fundamentalist Christians are losing the political battle to transform the larger political culture in America. I suggest two primary and interrelated reasons why the Christian Right is losing the culture war. The first such reason has to do with the values of post-industrial capitalism. While not directly hostile to Christian values, capitalism believes in whatever sells (like pornography or non-marital sex). The second …
The Ideology of Moderate Republicans in the House
This paper examines the Republican Main Street Partnership, a moderate faction in an increasingly conservative Republican Party. Using party and interest group measures, we examine to what extent RMSP members differ from their fellow Republicans in their unity around partisan and ideological issues. We find that Partnership members differ from other Republicans in their partisan and ideological behavior, but share similarities with the Party on s…
When Feminists Don't Fit The Case of Pauline Hanson
The rise of the Far Right is a global phenomenon traditionally viewed as antithetical to feminism. However, in Australia from 1996–2001 Far Right politics was dominated by a woman, Pauline Hanson, thus calling into question the dynamics between organized feminism and the Far Right. A significant problem for Australian feminists trying to understand Hanson is that her ideology, activities and life-style are internally contradictory. This article d…
Pauline Hanson and the Rise and Fall of the Radical Right in Australia
In this paper Deutchman examines the rise and fall of the radical right in the late 1990s in Australia. In particular, she focuses on the rise and fall of Pauline Hanson's One Nation party. In 1996 an obscure backbencher named Pauline Hanson was elected to the federal parliament. From the moment she made her first speech in September of that year she was rarely off the nation's front pages. By April 1997 she started her own political party, One N…
A star is born
Australia's most recent controversial political figure is Independent MP Pauline Hanson. As the media event of the year, her press coverage has eclipsed that even of Prime Minister John Howard. She founded her own party, One Nation, amid speculation that she intends running for Senate. This article analyses the role of the media in her dramatic escalation as a political figure, arguing that the controversial nature of her politics helps give the …
The Missing Majority
It's (Not) Just the Victim in Me
The 1990s have seen various challenges to “the established feminist order” around the issues of acquaintance rape and sexual harassment. In Australia, women who have come out of the 1960s “second wave” of feminism are dismayed with younger feminists who, they argue, see themselves as hapless victims of male sexual violence. In the United States, this same argument is being made by an under-thirty generation of self-styled feminists who see entren…

Instituting Gender
This study compares the experiences of women state legislators in six U.S. states and the six states and two territories in Australia. We are interested in how women's experiences of acceptance and assimilation differ between the two systems. We also examine whether or not women's experiences differ depending upon their proportion within the state legislature. Relying on in-depth their proportion within the state legislature. Relying on in-depth …

Ungendered but Equal
For some time now, a growing number of women have been taking seats in state legislative assemblies that were previously male bastions. Drawing upon survey data from six northeastern states, this article explores the attitudes of male legislators toward their female counterparts and also the attitude of women legislators toward their still minority status in the several legislative bodies. The author finds a range of views and concludes that wome…
The Politics of Empowerment
In this article I argue that many modern feminist theories about power suffer from problems of essentialism, ahistoricity and contradictions in implementation. While the feminist critique of androcentric models of power is insightful, feminist models of power have other difficulties. I call for a feminist approach to powre which does not argue that women necessarily use power better than or differently from men. I caution against basing women's c…

Internal-External Locus of Control, Power and Political Participation
Rotter's 1966 Internal-External Locus of Control Scale (I-E) was administered to 20 men and 24 women, along with new projective techniques to measure power behavior and political participation. The power behavior studied included power style, power drive, and power salience. The political participation index was composed of a traditional political participation scale and a Sphere of Influence Profile designed for this study measuring participatio…
Socialization to Power
Several major studies of women and politics have suggested that women are underrepresented as political actors primarily because of sex role socialization and/or institutional sexism. This study suggests that power is the critical aspect of politics, and to understand women's political exclusion we must examine gender based differences in power orientations. Forty-four respondents volunteered to undergo a battery of scales measuring their power o…

Political ideology of pro‐ and anti‐ERA women
This study explored political ideology, religiosity and attitudes toward women among six pro‐ERA and six anti‐ERA women, all of whom are politically active. In‐depth interviews were used to assess multi‐dimensionality of political ideology in our sample. Standardized inventories were used to assess religiosity and attitudes toward women. Predicted differences were found between pro‐ and anti‐ERA women in this sample in religiosity as well as atti…
Sphere of Influence Profile as a Predictor of Political Behavior in Women
The Sphere of Influence Profile was developed to measure relative salience of spheres in an individual's perceived life space. In this study the profile successfully differentiated 12 women who were politically active from 12 who were not, according to relative sphere salience. These groups were demographically similar, with mean ages of 42 and 45 yr., and comparable educational level, marital and employment status
