A Theory of Parties and Electoral Systems

Tue, 12 Nov 2024
An excerpt from "A Theory of Parties and Electoral Systems," presents a theory about how electoral systems influence the structure and behavior of political parties. The author, using a rational choice framework, argues that politicians act rationally in a self-interested way to maximize their chances of reelection. This theory explains variations in party cohesion, ideology, and issue orientation based on electoral rules, such as the size of electoral districts, the presence of a preference vote, and the nature of the voters’ choices (ordinal vs. categorical). The author supports their theory by examining electoral data and experiences from three countries: Italy, Ireland, and Great Britain. They demonstrate how differences in electoral systems result in distinct patterns of party structure and behavior.

A Fractured Profession: Commercialism and Conflict in Academic Science (Critical University Studies)

Tue, 12 Nov 2024
The provided text is an excerpt from the book A Fractured Profession: Commercialism and Conflict in Academic Science by David Johnson. The book argues that the increasing emphasis on commercialization in academic science has created a new professional ideology with values such as control, efficiency, calculability, and predictability, often conflicting with the traditional values of disinterestedness, universalism, and communalism. The text analyzes the impact of this change by examining the narratives of 61 scientists at four elite universities, comparing the experiences and perspectives of "commercialist" scientists who actively pursue commercial opportunities with those of their "traditionalist" peers who prioritize fundamental research. Johnson explores the motivations behind these contrasting approaches, the implications for status and reward systems, and the challenges to the university's role in society as a result of this conflict.
