Government Update NEWSLETTER OF THE COLLEGE OF WILLIAM AND MARY’S GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT

Summer 2002 Greetings from Morton Hall:

D

uring the past nine years, it has

been a distinct privilege to serve as Chair of the Department of Government. Now as I return to fulltime teaching and Ron Rapoport takes over leadership of the department, it’s a good time to reflect on the changes we have seen. Since 1993, more than 1,000 new Government concentrators have graduated, along with hundreds of International Relations and Public Policy majors. Seven new tenure-eligible faculty have joined the Department, not counting the three who were hired to join us this Fall. Three faculty left for other positions and three retired, and that doesn’t count the number of visiting faculty who have helped us offer a full range of course when professors were on leave. During this time, our faculty have published 30 books and monographs and 170 journal articles and book chapters of various length (some co-

authored with students), as well as delivering hundreds of papers at international, national and regional professional meetings. We have taught dozens of regular and special topics courses, advised nearly a hundred honors theses, and written countless letters of recommendation. We have reformed our curriculum, a process which took nearly the entire nine years to complete. Thanks to the work of Clay Clemens and your own willingness to share information on your activities, we have now published our first six alumni newsletters and also have a terrific website available to anyone throughout the world. As Ron prepares to take over the Chairman’s office, let me extend my thanks to all of you for your support, for the generous contributions to our Department through the Annual Fund (which have helped enrich our offerings for our students in numerous ways), and

for your offers of help in so many ways. I owe special thanks to my colleagues who have been tolerant of my mistakes, generous with their time, advice and assistance, John McGlennon and inspiring in their dedication to teaching and scholarship. I am excited about returning to full-time faculty work and wish for Ron and Associate Chair Clay Clemens the kind of satisfaction which I have gotten for these past nine years. Sincerely, John McGlennon

FYI: Alumni Feedback Last year we gave you some responses to individual course evaluations over the past few years. But that was nothing compared to the treasure trove of data that fell into our laps as a result of the required periodic departmental assessment. About 500 alumni from the classes of 1981, 1986, 1991, 1996 and 2001 were surveyed on a whole host of items. Respondents generally gave the Department high marks for its curriculum, classroom instruction, and advising. The vast majority also recalled being satisfied with the substantive knowledge and analytical skills conveyed in their courses here. But a substantial share of alumni suggested greater grounding in statistics, political economy and technology. Most also said there could be more effective career counseling and greater social interaction. And of course Morton itself came in for some choice words (down to the last details, in fact: “Some plants would be nice....and soft toilet paper in the bathrooms.”) At the same time, happily, most alumni said that, if given a chance (or forced!) to do college all over again, they would still choose to major in Government and recommended that entering students to do so. Thanks for both the criticisms and the compliments–we need to hear both now and then! PS: The entire results of the survey are posted on our website’s alumni page: http://www.wm.edu/CAS/Government/Alumni/

Current Faculty Notes I

n the penultimate year of his teaching ca reer, Don Baxter not only conduted his seminars on South Asian Politics and Indian Politics, but offered a brand new course on Afghanistan, addressing the obvious growth in student interest in that country. Not surprisingly given September 11, James Bill’s courses on Mideast and Persian Gulf Politics drew even more interest than usual this year. In addition, he and Professor of Religion Emeritus John Williams published Roman Catholics and Shi‘i Muslims: Prayer, Passion and Politics (UNC Press). Over 200 guests attended the March booksigning party at Barnes and Noble In addition to co-authoring a new edition of their book on Latin American geography with wife Olwyn, Brian Blouet lectured this past year at Oxford and Cork universities. The Blouets look forward to teaching at the College’s Cambridge program in summer 2003. In addition to his courses on Asian and international political economy, T.J. Cheng chaired the East Asian Studies program and helped the College establish study abroad programs with institutions in Seoul, Taipei, Singapore and Beijing. Also in conjunction with the Reves Center, he helped obtain a $1.6 million Freeman Grant to promote Asian Studies at the College. Clay Clemens offered his usual courses on European politics, and modified his US Foreign Policy class in order to address postSeptember 11 interest. Along with Dave Lewis, he helped put together the new Department website (check it out!) and this newsletter–in hopes of distracting attention from his still unfinished biography of German chancellor Helmut Kohl. David Dessler has played an active role at the Reves Center with curriculum issues and program development, including the new Borgenicht Endowment for Identity and Transformation. Larry Evans again brought in US Senate staff directors to critique briefing papers by his classes. At last fall’s Southern Political Science Association meeting he presented a paper with undergrad Beth Isaacs. At next year’s SPSA meeting, he and John Gilmour will present another paper (on presidential vetoes) done with two undergrads under a Dirksen Foundation grant In addition to joining with Larry Evans to obtain a grant to co-author a paper on presidential vetoes with two undergrads, John Gilmour published a piece on the voting cycle in Legislative Studies Quarterly, and also won the Patrick J. Fett Award for Best Paper on Congress and the Presidency at the 2001 Midwest Political Science Meeting.

Half of the Department (the rest were camera shy) George Grayson’s recent monographs help readers track events in Mexico; he also lectured on that topic at the US Foreign Service Institute, the State Department, the National Intelligence Council and the Joint Forces Staff College. If US-Mexican relations should go awry, it won’t be his fault. He also launched a new Mexican Politics seminar, taking the class to DC for briefings. Along with his regular classes on the American Welfare State, Chris Howard helped design a new course to help Government students satisfy the concentration computing requirement In addition to his courses on the Presidency and Public Administration, Dave Lewis did a joint presentation with undergrad Jon Rogers at the 2001 American Political Science Association meeting. In its ongoing effort to keep up with William and Mary, Princeton has hired Professor Lewis who will take up a position there starting fall 2002–he will be missed in Williamsburg. In the last of his nine years as Chair, John McGlennon published a chapter on the 2000 Election in Virginia and launched a topical new summer school course on Virginia Politics. Moreover, in 2001 he reelected to the James City County Board of Supervisors without opposition. Stephen Ndegwa started a two-year stint with the World Bank Young Professionals Program. He and wife Dorothy welcomed an addition to their family, baby Faith. While on family leave, he organized a one-credit course on Africa, with guest speakers. His article co-

authored with two undergrads, based on fieldwork near Lake Victoria, appeared in Global Environmental Politics. Yet another faculty member who faced even heavier course demand this year was Sue Peterson who already devotes a major share of her International Security course to terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. Her article co-authored with former student Chris Wenk appeared in Security Studies, and her edited volume Altered States appeared in summer, 2002. Paul Pickering, who taught in the Department this past year, will be joining it on a longer-term basis. A graduate of the University of Michigan, she specializes in the former Communist world. Much of her work involves post-conflict circumstances in Bosnia, where she spent much of this summer conducting research. In his last year of freedom before taking over as department chair, Ron Rapoport published “It’s Perot, Stupid!” in PS: Political Science. Along with a colleague at Colorado, he received National Science Foundation Research Experience for Undergraduate grants each of the past two summers to work with students Karen Bruner and Will Blake on the Perot project. At the Charles Center, Joel Schwartz helped launch or expand several programs, including a major new initiative on Environmental Studies. In addition, his freshman seminar on Citizenship is now part of the new Sharpe Community Partnership Program.

Current Faculty Notes As Alan Ward prepares for the final year of his fulltime teaching career, he continues to work on such research topics as the new Northern Ireland Constitution, a topic he addressed at a meeting of the Political Studies Association of Ireland, in Galway last November. In 2002-2003, the Department welcomes newcomers Simon Stow, a specialist in political philosophy from UC Berkeley, and Christine Nemachek from George Washington University (and who has taught at the University of Iowa) her area is judicial politics As always, the Department was grateful to have the assistance of several visiting or adjunct faculty in 2000-2001. Mike Tierney, MA ‘88, covered several international relations classes and the research methods course for all Honors students; he is also organizing a workshop series sponsored by Harvard University. Katherine Rahman taught courses on International Law and

Organization, and also ran this year’s two Washington Programs (on genetically- modified foods and weapons of mass destruction). Emile Lester again taught political philosophy, while Sophie Hart continued her course on East Asian Politics. In addition, newcomers Peter Canavo, Lynn Khadiagala, and Hans Hacker, who covered political philosophy, African politics, and judicial politics. Bob Archibald, Professor of Economics, remains as director of the Thomas Jefferson Program in Public Policy, where Former Ambassador Bob Fritts can also be found. In addition to overseeing the Reves Center, director Mitchell Reiss taught National Security Law last fall. Joel Schwartz continues at the Charles Center (see above). As usual, departmental administrator Valerie Trovato kept the Department running, ably assisted by Tess Owens and Barbara Finocchio, as well as four student assistants: Amanda Potter, Meredith Viens, Johnelle Hinkle and Kristin Monaco.

Faculty Feud It all began when Dave Lewis hacked into Clay Clemens’ course website to post an unflattering photo. Clemens’ retaliated by launching a lastminute write-in campaign to elect Lewis James City County Soil Commissioner with posters that read “Lewis: Because Politics is a Dirty Business” and “A Troubled Man for Troubled Times.” After a disappointing third place finish, the campaign considered mounting a protest based on concerns about butterfly ballots and hanging chads, but settled for issuing a terse concession statement: Dave started out with a firm foundation of support based on his bedrock constituency. We then really saw a groundswell for him in the final hours. In fact at one point we were hoping for a landslide. But let’s face it–his critics are a bunch of slimy worms. There was a whole lot of mudslinging and other events kicked up lots of dust. The gutter press didn’t help. But we hope that our campaign sewed the seeds for future efforts that will blossom. Rather than becoming embittered with the process, Lewis launched a campaign to elect Clemens Student Association President, with posters drawing on a likeness between him and his personal hero, Homer Simpson (“He’s the real life version!” and “The same man?”, along with other slogans like “Build your future with Clay”). Clemens retaliated with more posters alerting by-passers to be on the lookout for noted terrorist Osama bin Lewis, featuring a photo of his colleague in a Halloween costume that made him look more like Gabe Kotter on a bad day. Ultimately the feud could only be settled by a game of Jeopardy, in which Senior Scott O’Brien tested them in their own areas of expertise (such as the Simpsons and the Cleveland Browns for Clemens, and California sports teams and American Presidents for Lewis). The match ended inconclusively, its only real winners being roughly one hundred students, who took time from exam studying to see their teachers totally stumped by arcane questions for a change.

Baxter and Ward Retiring

S

pring 2003 will mark the last semester of fulltime teaching for Professors Don Baxter and Alan Ward. Both came to the College in 1967, meaning that each has logged thirty five years in the Department–seven decades combined! With a margin of error every bit as inexact as these figures themselves, that is approximately 15520 lectures, 14300 papers, 23,245 bluebooks, 23,475 advising sessions, and 315 committee assignments. In addition to that, both also chaired Government at various points (we tried adding up the memos and voicemails that entailed but it blew the microchip in our calculator, a very rare occurrence). Needless to say they have had a major impact on the Department and its graduates. Alumni who would like to be kept up-to-date on plans to honor Alan and Don in Spring 2003 are strongly urged to drop an email to [email protected] (also, while you are thinking of it, feel free to send us anything in the way of anecdotes, reminiscences or tributes to either or both).

Speakers

Washington Program

O

rganized as usual by Katherine Rahman, this year’s two Washington Programs fo cused, respectively, on weapons of mass destruction and genetically modified foods. During the latter trip, for example, students met with officials of–among others–the Environmental Protection Agency, the Public Interest Research Group, the Union of Concerned Scientists, the European Union, the US Trade Representatives Office, Continental Grain, Monsanto and the American Farm Bureau Federation.

Washington Program participants at DC’s Dacor-Bacon House.

S

ome well-known guests visited Govern ment classes this year. In the spring, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Chancellor of the College, met with students in the US foreign policy class and faced questions on items including his own decisions regarding Vietnam and Chile during the Nixon-Ford era to contemporary issues. During a day long visit, President Clinton’s National Security Advisor Sandy Berger also spoke with and to students in several international security classes. His comments focused heavily on the Middle East peace process. Former Senator George McGovern, US delegate to the UN Conference on World Hunger, also spoke at the College. Other guests included CBS News Correspondent Jim Axelrod, the Charles Center’s Journalist in Residence, and Washington Post assistant polling director Claudia Deane.

Internships and Mentoring

E

fforts continue to expand opportunities for students to undertake public affairsrelated internships and to improve career counseling with Government help. For the third straight year, about twenty Government concentrators (among other undergraduates) enrolled in the Public Affairs Internship Class, organized online over the summer and with papers/presentations in the fall. This year the students involved were at places ranging from municipal governments and the Virginia General Assembly, to Congress and US embassies as far afield as London or Algiers. In addition, most students undertaking such internships received modest financial support, in the form of Bertha Taylor Memorial Endowment scholarships administered by the Charles Center or stipends from the Donald Irwin Memorial Fund: the latter, a legacy of a Government concentrator, provides funds exclusively for those interns majoring in the Department. A longer term project is also in the works–an effort to build on the Taylor fund. The final goal is a $500,000 endowment, which obviously sounds like (and is) a lot of money, but (given the nature of endowments) we would need that much in order to generate roughly $20,000 in scholarships each year. To date, we have gifts/commitments of $272,000. Alumni who might be in a position to help are welcome to contact Clay Clemens ([email protected]; 757-2213027). In addition, through the efforts of Career Services Director Mary Schilling, some fifty current students doing internships in the nation’s capital came for dinner and a

panel on public service jobs again this June. The evening was hosted by the College’s Washington DC Office under Susan Wayland and Professor Larry Evans moderated the panel. Alumni speakers included Nicole Bibbins. Special Advisor to the Undersecretary of State for Global Affairs U.S. Department of State; Laura Flippin, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Division; Tom Jensen, Public Affairs Manager, United Parcel Services; Andrew Langer, Manager, Regulatory Policy, National Federation of Independent Business; Diane Pratt-Heavner, Press Secretary, Congressman Jim Davis, Florida; and Allison Riepenhoff, Assistant to the Deputy Counsel to the President White House. A similarly collaborative venture has resulted in a new mentoring program this summer. Career Services has matched up current students interning in the DC area with one of about three dozen alum volunteers (many former Government majors) who are already working in public affairs or public policy-related fields. The mentors and students are meeting over lunch or dinner to discuss career possibilities in public service. Alumni interested in helping out in future mentoring efforts should feel free to contact Mary Schilling at [email protected] As always, the Department thanks those alums who have passed on information about internships (in DC or elsewhere), and encourages any others to do so as well so that we can draw our students’ attention to possible openings for next summer. Feel free to contact Clay Clemens at [email protected] (757-221-3027).

In Memoriam Michael Edwards & Jim Reilly Lost on September 11 Two graduates of the Department were among the thousands killed in New York in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Michael Edwards (known by his middle name Hardy to good friends) was a New Jersey native. At the College he was a member of Pi Lam and got his BA in Government in 1990. He and his wife Jackie were to celebrate their fifth anniversary on September 14. He worked for Sandler O’Neill and Partners on the 104th floor of Two World Trade Center. Native New Yorker Jim Reilly was the youngest of five and followed brother Tom to the College, where he was active in Pika. After graduating in 1998 he worked for Republic National Bank and then as a bond trader at Keefe, Bruyette, & Woods on the 89th floor of Two World Trade. Over 850 people attended his memorial mass in October and over 100 fraternity brothers devoted the Spring 2002 Wiffleball tournament to his memory. The Alumni Society has a fuller memorial to all former College students killed on September 11: http://www.wm.edu/ alumni/memorial/memoriam.htm#ed In addition, the College has set up two memorial funds specifically in their memory. Contribution checks should be made out to: The Endowment Association of the College of William and Mary (specify on the check whether it is for the James B. Reilly Scholarship Fund or the Michael H. Edwards Scholarship Fund). Checks should be sent to:

Morton crackmograph

Morton Update As most of those who spent their four years within these walls know, Morton is not all it’s cracked up to be, but now we have proof. Enterprising Department staffers Valerie Trovato and Barbara Finocchio documented the gradual collapse of the building’s walls in a photo essay (one example below). As can be detected in the picture, Facilities Management is closely monitoring the situation with well-placed crackmographs. Each semester they send a wall expert over to check the progress of decay and he confirms that (pardon the complicated technical jargon here), “Yep, your cracks are gettin bigger.” But for those of you already caught up in the hoopla of Morton’s approaching 30th Jubilee in 2003 (much like the pre-Millenium buildup), never fear: top people are said to be working on this problem, and we are assured that the building will still be standing well into its fourth decade....

Awards 2001-2002

Senior Honors Theses 2001-2002

Theresa Barbadoro (Howard) Public Education Inequality: Can Knowledge Make the Difference?

Meg Ehrie (Tierney) An Explanation for Kuwait’s Lack of Democracy: a Synthesis of the Rentier State and Informal Politics Theories Stephanie Cervantes (Mitchell Reiss) Strategic Implications of US Theater Missile Defense in East Asia Melissa Shoemaker (Katherine Rahman) Reconstruction of Bosnian Society After the Conflict

Bloopers, cont.

I

n what we can only attribute to the high quality of teaching in our Department, we have far fewer student bloopers to report this year (though granted a number that we found simply can not be reprinted because this is, after all, a family publication). Nonetheless, our students did not totally disappoint us. In ruminating about domestic politics, one declared that the US electoral system penalizes small parties “because they come from small areas” (Ross Perot call your office). With the Mideast on everyone’s mind this year, one student traced the crisis back to the late 1940s, when the newly-created state of Israel was “infantile.” Now, of course, according to some of his classmates, the US fears getting “boggled down” in a new conflict in that region, though—never fear–the Pentagon has conducted a “bottoms up” review of military readiness to ensure that it

can handle “rouge regimes” like that of Saddam Hussein. On a loftier plane, another undergrad concluded that concepts like the balance of power make sense “in time of war when the support of all nations is easier to garnish” (with a little parsley on the side, perhaps?) At the same time, one should not forget that “Terrorism can be used to ferment a revolution” (and presumably give it a bit of a kick?) Still, whatever bloopers our students commit, it is not for lack of attentiveness–something that may be a bigger problem in other departments: for example, one colleague from English reported this spring that when a student’s cell phone rang in the middle of a seminar, she picked it up and audibly told her caller “Can’t talk long—I’m in class.”
