  • If We Can Win Here

    Open AccessTaylor E DarkARTICLEPolitical Science Quarterly2016

    For many, it is a paradox of our times that while economic inequality and insecurity worsen, collective action by workers seems almost nonexistent. This contrast provides the background for Fran Quigley’s study of recent efforts to organize low-wage service sector workers in Indianapolis, Indiana. A law professor at Indiana University and an occasional participant in these struggles, Quigley provides detailed accounts of unionization campaigns am…

  • The Economic Crisis and Organized Labor

    Taylor E DarkARTICLENew Political Science2011

    The onset of the Great Recession raised hopes among union supporters that organized labor would be able to use the downturn to gain greater political influence and new members. But despite Democratic Party victories in 2008, unions found it quite difficult to take advantage of the crisis. No revival of union organizing occurred, and membership continued to decline. Moreover, unions were unable to effectively present themselves as defenders of a l…

  • Liberals, Labor, and Party Government

    Open AccessTaylor E DarkARTICLEPolity2011References: 14

    Republican party government during the presidency of George W. Bush prompted liberal academics and intellectuals to reconsider the theory of responsible party government (RPG). While liberal thinkers traditionally had viewed party government positively, the onset of robust conservative government led some to question its desirability. This article examines this momentary turn in liberal thought and argues that it misconstrues the arguments for RP…

  • The Rise of a Global Party

    Open AccessTaylor Darks, Taylor E Dark et al.ARTICLEParty Politics2003Cited by: 7References: 1

    In discussions of party organization, scholars have generally assumed that such organizations operate exclusively on the domestic level, alter electoral results by raising votes and money from onstituencies at home. This research note shows that this assumption is outdated, because the US Democratic and Republican parties now maintain overseas branches in dozens of different countries. These branches seek through a variety of means to mobilize th…

  • Organized Labor and Party Reform

    Taylor E DarkARTICLEPolity1996

    The ability of labor leaders to act as power brokers in the nominating process was not destroyed by the Democratic Party reforms of the early 1970s, but by a prior internal fracturing of the labor movement. The AFL-CIO leadership could be power brokers only while there was consensus within the union movement on the main elements of domestic policy, foreign policy, and political strategy. This consensus broke down in the early 1970s, producing a c…
