You Can Go Your Own Way: How Transit-Country Migration Attitudes Are Influenced by European Union Ideals
Discovering neighbors: The Regional Migration Experience as a Source of Intergroup Contact
Market Rules: The Incidental Relationship between Democratic Compatibility and International Commerce
Democracies trade more with other democracies than they trade with closed political systems, but why they do so is unclear. We present a "gravity equation" that disentangles foreign policy from country-specific influences on trade by adding explanatory variables to control for traits of both the mass public and the domestic political system. We apply the resulting model to a data set covering 50 years (1948–1997) and 72 countries. The estimated e…
The Missing Middle: Why Median-Voter Theory Can't Save Democrats from Singing the Boll-Weevil Blues
Racial redistricting decimated the southern congressional districts once represented by centrist Democrats. Electoral maps drawn in the 1990s instead helped polarize the South's congressional delegation into a mixture of minority Democrats and right-wing Republicans, creating a more favorable environment for conservative legislation. The median-voter approach offered by Ken Shotts misses this phenomenon, primarily because neither his statistical …
Context and Francophone Support for the Sovereignty of Quebec: An Ecological Analysis
New techniques of ecological inference are utilized to estimate with confidence intervals francophone support in each federal electoral district in Quebec for the pro-sovereignty side in the 1993 and 1997 Canadian general elections and the 1992 and 1995 referenda. Analyzing the link between demographic and political contextual variables and support for the sovereignty of Quebec suggests that demographic factors, such as the proportion of farmers …
Following a False Trail: The Hunt for White Backlash in Kentucky's 1996 Desegregation Vote
We test the “white backlash” hypothesis—that white racial conservatism grows as black population density increases—using methods and data parallel to those upon which the concept was originally developed. A 1996 Kentucky referendum vote to strike school segregation from the state constitution serves as a rare measure of “old-fashioned racism.” We estimate the white vote for segregation using ecological inference techniques, and show that the coun…
Black Incumbents, White Districts: An Appraisal of the 1996 Congressional Elections
This article explores the controversial 1996 success of three African American incumbents (Sanford Bishop and Cynthia McKinney of Georgia and Corrine Brown of Florida) who lost their majority-Black southern congressional districts to Supreme Court decisions. Using aggregate electoral data and Gary King's solution to the ecological inference problem, we gauge (a) the extent of bias against Black candidates, (b) the extent of backlash against Black…
Racial Redistricting and Realignment in Southern State Legislatures
Competing logit models of the link between the racial composition of districts and party are estimated and then analyzed for all state legislative elections held in the South from 1990 to 1998. Using these models and a decomposition model developed by Grofman and Handley (1998), we decompose changes in seats won by the Democrats since 1990 into redistricting, realignment, and interaction effects. Racial redistricting harmed the Democrats in all s…

Beyond Racial Threat: Failure of an Old Hypothesis in the New South
Former Ku Klux Klansman David Duke ran three statewide campaigns in Louisiana. This note presents a GLS analysis of his voting support. It suggests that whites living in racially heterogeneous parishes were no more likely to support Duke than those in less-diverse locales, contrary to the "racial threat hypothesis." Suburban whites were particularly likely to back Duke. Giles and Buckner (1993) present contrary results because their analysis cont…
Science, Technology, and Society in the Third World: An Annotated Bibliography
This reference source lists and summarizes nearly one thousand English-language articles and books published from the late 1970s to the early 1990s that treat the subject of science and technology in developing countries. These are organized by major topics, including appropriate technology, agriculture, technology transfer, innovation diffusion, environment and health, economics, education, research and development, politics, distribution of ben…
