Ideas or Strategy? The Impact of Populist Incumbents on Liberal Democracy
Scholarship on populism has long identified a negative association between populism in power and the decline of democracy-sustaining institutions. However, researchers’ understanding of the theoretical links between these two phenomena differ and scholars have been hesitant to test competing approaches to populism against each other on equal footing. In this study, we address this lacuna, contrasting the theoretical predictions from the ideationa…
Party institutionalization and party strength
Party institutionalization and strength are two distinct concepts widely used in Comparative Politics. Despite the centrality of these concepts, we lack measures of party institutionalization and strength that (1) accurately measure the concepts, (2) are measured at the party level, (3) are geographically expansive, and (4) cover a substantial temporal coverage. In this paper, we introduce the Party Institutionalization and Party Strength (PIPS) …
The Effect of Populist Incumbents on Democracy
Populism’s effects on democracy after populists gain control of government (hereafter, populist incumbents) are some of the best theorized and documented consequences. The argument that populist incumbents threaten institutions of democratic contestation—and, less frequently, that they correct some aspects of political participation and representation—has been made from multiple approaches.1 Scholars and commentators often cite specific cases of …
From Pancytopenia to Hyperleukocytosis, an Unexpected Presentation of Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome in an Infant with Methylmalonic Acidemia
A 2.5-month-old girl admitted for failure to thrive and severe pancytopenia was diagnosed with methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) secondary to transcobalamin II deficiency, an inborn error of vitamin B12 metabolism. Opportunistic Cytomegalovirus and Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia led to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) after treatment initiation with vitamin B12 supplementation. …
Deliberative Stakeholder Engagement in Person-centered Health Research
Robust stakeholder engagement in health research requires broad communicative integration, not only of patients but also other stakeholders such as health system leaders, clinicians, and researchers. As patients’ personal narratives tend to focus on their own health care experiences, it can be challenging to incorporate these perspectives at the health system level, where discussions often address technical issues such as strategies for aggregati…

Metabolism as a tool for understanding human brain evolution
Emerging Communication Technologies and the Practices of Enhanced Deliberation
A U.S. Department of State funded program, the Ben Franklin Transatlantic Fellows Summer Institute, has taught hundreds of high-school aged students from Eurasia and the United States practices of democratic deliberation using networked media. A survey of the program’s curricular innovations since 2006, involving integration of YouTube, Facebook, and documentary film, yields insight on how the advent and circulation of “(de-)liberation” technolog…
Translation Through Argumentation in Medical Research and Physician-Citizenship
Higher-Order Strategic Maneuvering in Argumentation
Switch-Side Debating Meets Demand-Driven Rhetoric of Science
U.S. government agencies are collaborating with outside scholars to untangle disparate threads of knotty technoscientific issues, in part by integrating structured debating exercises into institutional decision-making processes such as intelligence assessment and public policy planning. These initiatives drive up demand for rhetoricians with skill and experience in what Protagoras called dissoi logoi—the practice of airing multiple sides of vexin…
Debate as a Weapon of Mass Destruction
This year’s intercollegiate policy debate topic calls on affirmative teams to overrule one of four Supreme Court decisions, including Ex parte Quirin, the precedent frequently invoked to justify homeland security policies such as military tribunals for Guantanamo detainees.8 In arguing to overturn Quirin, debaters employ a variety of approaches. Most teams contend that the Supreme Court’s 2006 Hamdan v. Rumsfeld decision, while helpful, does not …
Team B Intelligence Coups
The 2003 Iraq prewar intelligence failure was not simply a case of the U.S. intelligence community providing flawed data to policy-makers. It also involved subversion of the competitive intelligence analysis process, where unofficial intelligence boutiques “stovepiped” misleading intelligence assessments directly to policy-makers and undercut intelligence community input that ran counter to the White House's preconceived preventive war of choice …

Laying Claim to the South African Miracle
Public Argument-Driven Security Studies

'Critical Reflections on Security and Change,' edited by Stuart Croft and Terry Terriff; 'State Interests and Public Spheres: The International Politics of Jordan's Identity,' by Marc Lynch; 'Unarmed Forces: The Transnational Movement to End the Cold War,' by Matthew Evangelista; 'Virtuous War: Mapping the Military-Industrial-Media-Entertainment Network,' by James Der Derian.
Defining the Subject of Consent in DNA Research
Placebo defense
During the 1991 Persian Gulf War, the apparent success of the Patriot missile defense system served as the official centerpiece of a rhetorical campaign to portray Operation Desert Storm as an unprecedented mission ushering in a new era of American military dominance based on technological superiority. Post‐war disclosures have not only cast serious doubt on Patriot's wartime performance, but have also exposed a widespread program of strategic de…
Whose Shoe Fits Best? Dubious Physics and Power Politics in the TMD Footprint Controversy
Apparent design breakthroughs in short-range missile defense systems such as Theater High-Altitude Air Defense (THAAD) have prompted questions about the legality of such systems under the 1972 Antiballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty. Prominent physicists have used computer "footprint" methodology to prove that if engineered to specifications, THAAD might exceed ABM Treaty performance limits banning highly effective missile defense systems. In response…
