American Political Science Review
The Leading Journal of Political Science Research

The American Political Science Review (APSR) presents peer-reviewed research articles by political scientists of all subfields. APSR continues to be the foremost scholarly research journal of political science.

May 2007: Volume 102, Issue 2 

From Notes from the Editors: 

This issue continues the gradual transition from the editorship of Lee Sigelman at GeorgeWashington
University to the new team of co-editors at UCLA. We publish here the first two articles adjudicated from start to finish at UCLA—–one by James Fowler, Laura Baker, and Christopher Dawes, and one by Michael Ting—–which identify, respectively, a genetic predisposition to vote and a social cost of giving legal protections to whistleblowers. Keeping these two provocative and well-argued pieces company are five other full length articles on a variety of subjects that began the long journey into print under Sigelman’s stewardship. We end with a forum, also edited mostly before our term, on the study of suicide terrorism.
