I, the people: A deflationary interpretation of populism, Trump and the United States constitution
This paper advances a deflationary interpretation of populism, Donald Trump and the United States Constitution. It accepts that Trump utilizes a populist pose but rejects populism as too reductive for understanding his ascension and constitutional challenge. First, it argues that, although he merits the designation, Trump reveals more about populism than populism does about him. Trump illustrates populism's conceptual elasticity, but employing it…

Barack Obama's Post-American Foreign Policy: The Limits of Engagement
After one of the most controversial and divisive periods in the history of American foreign policy under President George W. Bush, the Obama administration was expected to make changes for the better in US relations with the wider world. Now, international problems confronting Obama appear more intractable, and there seems to be a marked continuity in policies between Obama and his predecessor. Robert Singh argues that Obama's approach of 'strate…

American government and politics: A Concise Introduction
Teaching American Politics
This article examines some of the hurdles that confront teachers of American government and politics in the United Kingdom. It argues that whilst the problems associated with teaching American politics are hardly unique within the politics discipline, they do pose substantial challenges. In particular, confronting students' stereotypes and prejudices about the United States is a key task of a successful teaching programme. To do this, and to make…
Capital Punishment in the United States: A New Abolitionism
For some readers, capital punishment proved one of the most disconcerting features of Jonathan Freedland's widely acclaimed book on Anglo-America, Bring Home the Revolution. Observing that opinion polls show Americans and Britons to hold similar views on capital punishment(a 1996 MORI poll put British support for the death penalty at 76 per cent), Freed-land noted that, despite its prohibition in the UK,opponents of judicial killing have hardly w…

Taking care of business: The politics of executive pay in the United Kingdom
In the 1990s, the remuneration of executive directors of private corporations became a political issue in the United Kingdom. Although issues of pay equity featured prominently in post‐war British politics, the question of directors’ pay had previously generated no political controversy. In this article, we argue that nine distinct factors account for the politicisation of directors’ pay, together reflecting the transformation of the British poli…
The rise and fall of legislative service organisations in the United States Congress
The abolition of Legislative Service Organisations by the 104th Congress (1995–96) constituted one of its earliest achievements. Although political dissensus had surrounded the role and activities of LSOs throughout their institutional existence, the Republican victory in the 1994 congressional elections was the critical factor prompting their abolition. Prior reform attempts had faltered upon the Democratic party's post‐1954 dominance of the Hou…
The congressional black caucus in the United States Congress, 1971–1990
The establishment of the Congressional Black Caucus in the United States Congress, in 1971, inaugurated a new era in the history of black congressional representation. The Caucus represented a novel attempt at a form of collective national black political leadership, seeking to influence both the executive and legislature to secure symbolic and substantive policy advances for blacks beyond, as well as within, the districts of its members. This at…
