The political history of late twentieth-century Southern Africa was dominated by violent liberation struggles against settler-colonial domination in Angola, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.

Participatory Democratic Organizing: Building Capacity to Solve the Paradox of Participatory Democracy

Description:

Recent experiments in participatory democracy, such as Iceland’s 2013 Constitutional Reform process to Chicago’s annual participatory budgeting process, have empowered members of the public to directly make policy decisions. These new participatory democratic institutions depend on citizens having capacity to organize new institutions and the capacity to participate in them....

“The Power which Holds the Purse Strings Absolutely Must Rule”: Financiers, Private Property, and the State 1750-1800

Description:

Political theorists generally ascribe to the state a decisive role in the formation and protection of property rights, a view especially prevalent in the historiography of financial property in the United States. Given the capacities of government at the American Founding, however, such accounts are implausible. Drawing on writings composed...

Religious Passions in International Politics

Description:

From colonial practices designed to civilize indigenous communities, to counter-terrorism initiatives aimed at de-radicalizing dissidents in the wake of the War on Terror, to controversies over blasphemy and religious harm cases in international law, religious passions have been cast as a specter of unreason, treason, and radicalization. These assumptions sustain...

The Spaces Between: Rethinking Success and Failure in Contemporary Feminist Politics

Description:

This dissertation aims to rethink how contemporary feminism might grapple with complicity, cooptation, and the concomitant failure of feminist successes through a frame other than paradox.

Dividing the Poor: Congressional Representation in Rhetoric and Policy during the New Deal

Description:

Existing scholarship documents the low levels of political power held by the American poor, and concomitant economic elite domination of Congress.

A key part of this virtual representation is...
