19-12 DEVELOPMENT LENDING Room Clark 10, 7 th Floor, Sun at 8:00 am Chair Douglas M. Stinnett, University of Georgia Paper The Sources of Islamic Development Bank Lending: IOs and States as Norm Diffusers Christopher B. O'Keefe, Brigham Young University Daniel L. Nielson, Brigham Young University Overview: We explore the proposition that changes in loan patterns derive from global norms diffused across international organizations. IOs attempt to diffuse norms instrumentally, using materialist and social mechanisms. Paper The Determinants of Giving Explaining Patterns of Lending to NGOs Michael A. Pisa, University of California, San Diego Overview: Why do some NGOs receive more donations than others? In this paper, I examine the patterns of U.S. private lending and find that an NGO's experience, size, and history of efficient spending play an important role in attracting private donations.

Paper Political Consequences of Phenotyping in the US and Mexico Rosario Aguilar-Pariente, University of Michigan Overview: The paper explores, through experiments in labcontrolled environments, the effect of phenotyping (as the action of discriminating because of a person’s phenotypes) on the evaluation of electoral candidates among Mexicans and Mexican Americans. Disc. Christopher M. Federico, University of Minnesota 22-13 ISSUES IN ELECTION ADMINISTRATION Room Salon 8, 3 rd Floor, Sun at 8:00 am Chair Quin Monson, Brigham Young University Paper Embracing Change at the Polls: Election Administrators and the Provisional Ballot in 2004 Timothy Vercellotti, Rutgers University Overview: Using data from a national survey of 400 election administrators at the county and municipal levels, I find that officials in states that used provisional ballots for the first time in 2004 were less enthusiastic about implementing provisonal voting. Paper Timing Effects of Voter Registration Michael P. McDonald, George Mason University Overview: I analyze the timing of new voter registration applications to develop a profile of persons likely to be aided by Election Day Registration. Page | 266 Paper The Attraction of Working from 6:00 am to 9:30 pm for a Fraction of Minimum Wage: Poll Workers and Their Motivation to Serve Karin Mac Donald, University of California, Berkeley Bonnie E. Glaser, University of California, Berkeley Overview: We conduct an empirical investigation of poll worker demographics and their motivation to serve on Election Day, and draw conclusions about the quality and stability of this type of political participation. Paper Election Administration Six Years After Florida David C. Kimball, University of Missouri, St Louis Martha Kropf, University of North Carolina, Charlotte Overview: We examine the impact of a local official's partisanship on residual votes nationwide. Since local officials have some discretion to implement elections, partisan officials may work to reduce residual votes in their jurisdiction. Paper Linking Election Management with Election Outcomes Thad Hall, University of Utah Overview: This paper examines how public management affects key election outcomes. Using Georgia and Texas, we consider how election management - the average number of poll workers per polling places and the average amount of precinct consolidation. Disc. Michael P. McDonald, George Mason University Martha Kropf, University of North Carolina, Charlotte 23-11 MINORITY MOBILIZATION IN CAMPAIGNS Room PDR 5, 3 rd Floor, Sun at 8:00 am Chair Eric McDaniel, University of Texas, Austin Paper Campaign Mobilization and Voting Behavior of Asian Americans Taofang Huang, University of Texas, Austin Overview: The population of Asian American is rapidly growing. Understanding their voting behavior will help political elites to face this emerging force. This paper attempts to clarify the relationships among conditions and voting behavior of Asian Americans. Paper Getting Out the Vote: Mobilization in U.S. Elections Daniel Stevens, Hartwick College Overview: This paper examines biases in partisan and nonpartisan mobilization efforts. I show that racial and ethnic minority voters are both less likely to be contacted by the major parties and, even when they are, to be contacted face-to-face. Paper Changes in the Effects of Personal Contact Campaigns on Participation Inequality Peter W. Wielhouwer, Western Michigan University Overview: Using the 1956-60 and 2000-04 ANES panel studies, I assess whether the effects of personal contact campaigning (1) have changed over time and (2) vary across socioeconomic strata. Disc. Ernest McGowen, University of Texas, Austin 25-15 ADVANCES IN UNDERSTANDING RACE, GENDER AND PUBLIC OPINION Room Salon 9, 3 rd Floor, Sun at 8:00 am Chair Jack Citrin, University of California, Berkeley Paper Marriage, Work, Race, and the Politics of Parenthood Steven Greene, North Carolina State University Laurel Elder, Hartwick College Overview: This paper explores how marriage, race, work, and gender interact with parental status to shape political attitudes and voting behavior. We examine how these factors affect men and women differently across a variety of issue domains. Paper Gender Imagery and the Evaluation of Political Leaders Nicholas J. G. Winter, University of Virginia Overview: This paper explores citizens' reactions to gendered campaign imagery. I argue that this sort of imagery manifests itself not as a gender gap, but rather in a polarization between gender traditionalists--both male and female--and gender egalitarians.
Paper Activating, Mobilizing Race and Gender Nancy Burns, University of Michigan Donald R. Kinder, University of Michigan Overview: We compare the activation for public opinion and the mobilization for political action of gender and race during the 2006 campaigns, drawing on the natural experiments offered up by differing political contexts. Paper A Closer Look at Intergenerational Political Change M. Kent Jennings, University of California, Santa Barbara Laura Stoker, University of California, Berkeley Overview: We evaluate three explanations for the emergence of generational differences in attitudes on race, gender, and tolerance: new political contexts that especially affect the young, generational changes in the level of proximate causal factors, and asymmetric.

O'Brien, Kent State University 26-15 YOUTH PARTICIPATION IN POLITICS Room Clark 9, 7 th Floor, Sun at 8:00 am Chair Paul Howe, University of New Brunswick Paper Young Voter Turnout: The Impact of Education Quality and Turnout Rates Cassie A.

Paper Broadband for All? A Consensus Conference Christopher F. Karpowitz, Brigham Young University Chad Raphael, Santa Clara University Allen Hammond, Santa Clara University Overview: This paper reports the results of one innovative attempt to promote civic engagement and democratic deliberation about the topic of municipal broadband policy and the digital divide.

Hosle, University of Notre Dame Paper The Division of Regimes in Aristotle and the Eleatic Stranger Kevin M. Cherry, University of Notre Dame Overview: In Book IV, Aristotle critiques Plato's Eleatic Stranger for his division of regimes. I argue that Aristotle's analysis offers a solution to what the Eleatic takes to be the fundamental problem of political life. Paper How Aristotle's Understanding of Time Informs His Account of Human Action and Happiness Daniel DiLeo, Pennsylvania State University, Altoona Overview: An investigation of the implications of Aristotle's understanding of time as enunciated in Physics IV, Chapters 10-14 for his theory of action as stated in De Anima and human conduct, as presented in Nicomachean Ethics. Paper Social Services, Population Control, and Individual Responsibility: Aristotle and the Problem of Poverty Sharon K. Vaughan, Morehouse College Overview: I argue that Aristotle's treatment of poverty is innovative and sensible because he realizes that no one can live a decent or happy life without meeting certain needs. Contrary to Samuel Fleishcacker's thesis, I show that the idea of redistributive justice. Disc. Emily C. Nacol, University of Chicago 32-15 RELIGION AND POLITICAL THEORY Room LaSalle 1, 7 th Floor, Sun at 8:00 am Chair Paul R.
