When does public diplomacy work? Evidence from China's “wolf warrior” diplomats
How does public diplomacy shape global public opinion? In this note, we theorize that positive public diplomacy that emphasizes aid and friendship works, while negative messages that criticize international rivals are ineffective. We conduct an experiment, to our knowledge the first of its kind, that randomly exposes Indian citizens to real Twitter messages from Chinese diplomats. We find that positive messages emphasizing aid and friendship impr…

The Concept of Governmental Management: Or, What's Missing in the Gore Report
Since President Clinton and Vice President Gore released the report of the National Performance Review--better known as the Gore Report (or the Reinventing Government report)--in September of 1993, most of the public, and congressional, discussion has centered on just one aspect of the proposal: the promise to cut 252,000 jobs from the government payroll (later raised by Congress to 273,000). In addition, Mr. Gore has been able to get some public…

Needed: A Political Theory for the New Era of Coalition Government in the United States
On 8 November 1988, when the American voters decreed that Republican George Bush would succeed Ronald Reagan in the White House but the opposition Democratic Party would control both houses of the Congress, it was the sixth time in the last nine presidential elections that the electorate chose to split the government between the parties. As in 1988, so in the earlier elections of 1956, 1968, 1972, 1980, and 1984, the people placed their faith in …
Has America Lost its Social Conscience-And How Will it Get it Back
Exactly twenty years ago, in a burst of national euphoria and confidence, President Lyndon Johnson and the Congress completed the enactment of the Great Society -the greatest spate of domestic legislation in thirty years and one of the most exuberant expressions of social conscience in our history. The Great Society dealt forcefully with virtually every social problem that activists and reformers at that time had been agitating about. And the cou…

As originally planned, the war on poverty was to be co-ordinated at the Washington level by the Office of Economic Opportunity and in each community by a community-action agency (CAA). But neither institution succeeded in that purpose: Sargent Shriver chose to make OEO an operating rather than a co-ordinating agency; in the communities, the CAA's lacked the power to enforce co-ordination among community institutions and, in any case, like OEO, be…

It is, rather, like a gasoline engine which operates most efficiently when all of its cylinders are functioning. It is not necessary to strip President of power to increase power of Congress, but time has come for Congress to exercise some of powers which it has always formally possessed but which have been permitted to atrophy. In this…
