May 2009: Volume 103, Issue 2
In This Issue
From Notes from the Editors:
The first five of this issue’s articles address how democracies work, or how they should work—–what motivates voters, how democratic governments distribute public goods, how representatives are (or should be) constrained by their electorates’ preferences, and whether episodes of civil violence spur or retard democratic participation. How do citizens construct or alter their social identities, and when does loyalty to a group (or to the nation as a whole) trump economic self-interest? This is about as basic and enduring a question as any in political science, central to recent controversies about U.S. voting, comparative studies of ethnicity, constructivist analysis in international relations, and normative inquiry on our duty to others. More recently, cognate disciplines—–experimental anthropology and economics, cognitive psychology and brain-imaging—–have contributed importantly to collective understanding. The first two articles in this issue advance this debate significantly, and from quite different perspectives. Read the full "In This Issue."
