Simulating Globalization
The conflicting interests that underlie globalization can be difficult to grasp in a traditional classroom setting. The simulation presented here challenges students to examine the many different actors operating in the international system today.

A Community or a Crowd? Regional and Ethnic Bloc Voting in the Florida House of Representatives, 1989–1996
The present study utilizes roll call analysis of voting in the Florida House of Representatives between 1989 and 1996 to answer the question of whether regional, partisan, or ethnic loyalties are more important in determining the behavior of political elites in the Sunshine State.

The authors challenge this assertion with evidence from six …

By drawing on the central concepts of Immanuel Wallerstein's World System Theory, the ideologically and strategically contorted policies of the Reagan years can be und…
