Why the World Is Down on Democracy
In recent years, multiple cross-national surveys have highlighted deep and growing frustration with the functioning of democracy in countries across the globe. Why are citizens unhappy? Many things drive dissatisfaction with democracy, but political dysfunction is an important factor. There is a widespread sense that political parties and leaders are not responsive to the public and do not care about the concerns of ordinary citizens—in essence, …

Liberal Democracy’s Crisis of Confidence
Liberal democracy is experiencing a crisis of confidence, and recent public-opinion research from a variety of sources has added to these anxieties. Using data from Pew Research Center cross-national surveys, this article finds that while democracy is broadly popular, there is nonetheless a surprisingly high degree of openness to nondemocratic modes of governing in many nations. And even though people tend to believe it is important to live in a …
Western Views Toward Muslims
Concerns about Islamic extremism and ongoing debates about the integration and assimilation of Muslims into Western societies continue to attract considerable attention from the media, policymakers, and scholars, but relatively little cross-national research has been done on Western attitudes toward Muslims. This article attempts to address this question by exploring 2006 Pew Global Attitudes data among non-Muslims in Britain, France, Germany, Sp…
Cross-Validating Measures of Global Religious Intolerance
We address a pressing substantive issue as well as evaluate several methodologies in this article. Substantively, we ask whether the U.S. State Department has a clear understanding of the level of cross-national religious intolerance that triggers daily headlines around the globe. Methodologically, we ask whether data on social attitudes coded from systematic qualitative reports can reliably represent cross-national public opinion. We empirically…
The Clay Speakership Revisited
The speakership of Henry Clay marks an important period in the early development of American politics and political institutions. The "leadership survival" explanation of the Clay speakership, first proposed in James Sterling Young's, The Washington Community, 1800-1828, has enjoyed wide currency and more recently has been incorporated in work by scholars associated with the "new institutionalism" in rational choice theory. In this article we rev…
Party Building through Campaign Finance Reform
During this century, the electoral fortunes of members of Congress have become less a function of party affiliation, and more a function of personal relationships with their constituencies. With the Campaign Finance Reform Act of 1996, House Republican leaders sought to reinvigorate the role of the national parties in financing congressional campaigns. Guided by Conditional Party Government theory, we explore reasons a member of Congress might ha…
