Re-examining Willingness to Fight for One’s Country: Exploring Nature of Conflict and Citizenship Status Effects in the United States and Canada
Individuals’ willingness to fight for their country has garnered significant attention in research; yet, the intricate connection between such willingness with individual identity, conflict type, and personal values remains underexplored. Through deductive exploratory quantitative analysis, this study examines two potentially interrelated factors—social identity and nature of conflict concerns—in the context of two multi-ethnic, immigrant-rich We…
Perceptions of Civil Servant Corruption: A Cross-Country Analysis
Distrust in the civil service is not unique to any country but felt across much of the globe amid ascendant populist movements. A significant correlate of distrust in the civil service is the perception of corruption among bureaucrats. Our research addresses two main questions. First, in OECD countries, to what extent does the public view bureaucrats as corrupt? Second, what factors explain these perceptions? Data from 23 countries in the Interna…
Immigrants and Passive Representation in the U.S. Public Service: 2000-2018
Representative bureaucracy has been a prominent construct in U.S. governance literature for more than three quarters of a century. Passive representation is an important first step toward active representation. Using a repeated cross-sectional design, we find that immigrant status and accompanying multigenerational effects impact the likelihood of employment in the public sector. The barrier of immigrant status and multigenerational effects are l…
Confidence in Merit-Based Public Administration in the Context of Right-Wing Authoritarian Populism
The rise of right-wing authoritarian populism (RWAP) challenges modern democratic governance and the legitimacy of a career-service, nonpartisan, merit-based public administration—hallmarks of modern democratic institutions. Using citizen survey data collected for the first 2 years of the Trump presidency, this study finds that some core features of RWAP are negatively related to confidence in public administration. Generally speaking, the populi…
Police use of force and nativity: Revisiting standing evidence of public opinion on police use of force
Police use of force is a topic of longstanding and ongoing concern in the criminal justice literature. Carter & Corra (2016) studied citizen perceptions of police use of force, establishing an empirical link between racial resentment and support for police use of force. We contend that the Carter and Corra study is instructive but lacks an important measure of nativity. Opinion differences between U.S. non-native-born and native-born persons have…
Conflicted by conservatism? Exploring authoritarian values, climate politics, and alternative energy funding public opinion in the United States
Going native? Examining nativity and public opinion of environment, alternative energy, and science policy expenditures in the United States
