Aronoff, Rutgers University Panelist Timothy Pachirat, Yale University Dorian T. Warren, Columbia University Lisa Wedeen, University of Chicago Claire Wilkinson, University of Birmingham Dvora Yanow, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam Overview: We engage the political dimensions of political ethnography - the historical/epistemological/ontological/ethical baggage that as often as not accompanies ethnographers, without notice, unexamined, into the field, despite efforts to travel light. 2-5 THE POLITICS OF CHEAP LABOR Room Salon 1, 3 rd Floor, Thur at 2:35 pm Chair Gary Freeman, University of Texas, Austin Paper Political Foundations of Low Pay Inequality Pablo Beramendi, Syracuse University Overview: The negative association between pre-tax inequality and redistribution constitutes an important puzzle in political economy. Paper When There is No Cop on the Beat: Community Unionism and Labor Market Regulation Janice Fine, Rutgers University Overview: Civic actors have stepped into the breach left by ineffectual government enforcement and monitoring of the Fair Labor Standards Act in low wage industries. Paper The Free Economy and the Jacobin State, or How Europe Can Cope With the Coming Immigration Wave Randall Hansen, University of Toronto Overview: Europe is facing a severe demographic shortfall. In the absence of substantial increased immigration, Europe’s population will age and decline, placing intolerable pressure on European welfare states. Paper The New Politics of Cheap Labor in Industrial Democracies Desmond King, Oxford University David Rueda, Oxford University Overview: In this paper we aim to return labor (particularly the most vulnerable members of the labor market) to the core of comparative political economy of advanced democracies. We formulate a framework with which to conceptualize cheap labor. Disc. Gary Freeman, University of Texas, Austin 3-3 DEMOCRACY AND DEVELOPMENT: POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS Room Salon 2, 3 rd Floor, Thur at 2:35 pm Chair Irfan Nooruddin, Ohio State University Paper Party System Institutionalization, Participation and Distribution: African Democracies in Comparative Perspective Rachel Beatty Riedl, Princeton University Overview: This paper addresses the institutional variation in party systems across African democracies in relation to the consequences for economic distribution and political participation.

Paper Ethnicity, Electoral Competition, and Public Spending in Kenya Andy Harris, Harvard University Overview: This paper explores how ethnicity affects electoral competition and public spending in Kenyan local governments. Paper Bounded Conflict and Investment in "Invisible" Public Goods Alison Post, Harvard University Overview: This paper explains variation in the distributional effects and longevity of privatization in the Argentine water Page | 106 sector. In doing so, it outlines a theory of regulatory politics applicable to countries with weak institutional environments. Paper Worlds Apart: A Comparative Analysis of Social Development in India Prerna Singh, Princeton University Overview: This paper explains variations in levels of social development among Indian states through a theory of substate nationalism. Disc. Irfan Nooruddin, Ohio State University 3-25 THE STATE AND DEVELOPMENT Room Salon 4, 3 rd Floor, Thur at 2:35 pm Chair Mary Breeding, American University Paper Hours of Work in the Developing World: A Race to the Top? Jeffrey P. Crean, Marquette University Overview: At comparable stages of development, work hours in newly industrializing countries in East Asia were and are uniformly lower than hours were in older industrializing countries in Europe. As development spreads, the mills become less satanic. Paper Business Organization and Economic Statecraft: Evidence from Latin America Marco A. Hernandez, University of Oxford Overview: This paper explores the political organization of business and presents a model of collective bargaining to explain cross-national differences in business centralization. Case studies from Latin America are used to test the implications of the model. Paper Logic of Financial Regulatory Reform in Mexico and South Korea Heon Joo Jung, University of Pennsylvania Overview: This paper examines institutional design and change of financial regulatory systems as responses to economic crises in Mexico and South Korea by taking seriously the interaction between international forces and public attention. Paper Is this Downsizing? Privatization and the State in Brazil Christina Schatzman, Arizona State University Overview: Does privatization promote state shrinking in developing countries? One of the many expected benefits of privatization is its impact on the role of the sate in the economy, promoting a withdrawal of state involvement in the economy. Disc. Nimah Mazaheri, University of Washington, Seattle Mary Breeding, American University 4-2 PERSPECTIVES ON MEXICO'S TRANSITION TO DEMOCRACY I Room PDR 4, 3 rd Floor, Thur at 2:35 pm Chair Orlando J. Perez, Central Michigan University Paper National and Subnational Political Development Divergence in Mexico Jonathan T. Hiskey, Vanderbilt University Paloma Bauer, University of Iowa Overview: Through analysis of electoral, socioeconomic, and attitudinal data covering the period of 1990 to 2006, we offer an assessment of the different political development trajectories at the state and national level over the past 15 years in Mexico. Paper Pluralism, Social Inclusion and Democratic Transition in México Fernando R. Castañeda Sabido, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Overview: The strength of the old Mexican Political System (PRI System) was based on a hierarchical but flexible form of inclusion. This form of inclusion allowed the old system to negotiate with the Indian Cultures and to recognize their own normative system. Paper Authoritarian Durability and Democratic Transition in Mexico Elyssa A. Van Osten, University of Virginia Overview: I argue that the PRI’s ability to resolve intra-elite conflict in a manner which included rural and labor incorporation explains both the ancient regime’s durability and the event and quality of Mexico’s eventual transition to democracy. Disc. Elizabeth Zechmeister, University of California, Davis
5-3 ORGANIZING REPRESENTATION Room Salon 5, 3 rd Floor, Thur at 2:35 pm Chair Mikhail Filippov, Binghamton University Paper The Impact of Political Decentralization on Voter Engagement in Western Europe Bonnie M.

Paper Exacerbation or Amelioration: Decentralization and Autonomy Mobilization Dan Miodownik, Hebrew University Britt A.

Using computer simulation and European cases, we demonstrate that decentralization can reconcile regional demands with state stability. Paper Procedural Cartelization in the Mexican Chamber of Deputies, 2000-2006 Raul C. Gonzalez, Rice University Overview: Does procedural cartelization in the Mexican Chamber of Deputies occur given that legislators cannot pursue reelection, and legislative parties rarely enjoy a majority? This analysis will determine whether such cartels form. Paper The Rival Partners’ Finance Game: Electoral Institutions, Competition, and Campaign Finance in Chile Joel W. Johnson, University of California, San Diego Overview: This paper examines campaign income and expenditure to show how Chilean electoral institutions cause legislative candidates and parties to both cooperate with and compete against their running mates.

Disc. Mikhail Filippov, Binghamton University Ivy Hamerly, Baylor University 6-2 EXPLAINING POLICY PREFERENCES Room Sandburg 7, 7 th Floor, Thur at 2:35 pm Chair David Breaux, Mississippi State University Paper Refining the Terms of Relief: Explaining State Choices Under TANF John C. Morris, Old Dominion University David A. Breaux, Mississippi State University Rickey L. Travis, Mississippi State University Overview: This paper extends the earlier work of Soss, et al (2001), among others, by examining additional explanations of the choices states make when deciding the requirements for assistance under TANF. Paper How Do Social Contexts and Individual Social Networks Determine Policy Preferences: An Empirical Study of Racial Attitudes in Singapore Cheng-Lung Wang, National University of Singapore Overview: Using data from a national election survey in Singapore, this paper studies how individual racial attitudes were shaped by broader community contexts and specific individual social networks. Paper The Reproductive Rights Century: Explaining Global Abortion Policies Mitchell Brown, Auburn University Victor Asal, SUNY, Albany Overview: In this paper we examine the economic, cultural and political opportunity structures that facilitate and constrain women's right to abortion in the 20th century.

Paper Threat Perceptions, Out-Group Antipathy and Anti- Immigrant Policy Goals James R. Smerbeck, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill Overview: A cross-national study examining whether perceived economic or demographic threat by native Europeans towards immigrants, together with ingrained outgroup antipathy, translates into preferences for anti-immigrant policies. Disc. Kirsten K. Loutzenhiser, Barry University 7-4 IMMIGRATION AND CITIZENSHIP IN EUROPE Room Sandburg 6, 7 th Floor, Thur at 2:35 pm Chair Cara Wong, University of Michigan Paper Exclusive States, Inclusive Identities: Migration Strategies in the EU-15 Sara B. Wallace, Georgetown University Overview: This paper compares citizenship and immigration policies among the traditional EU-15 member-states, focusing specifically on the unique, emerging typology of restrictive immigration and liberal citizenship policies.

Paper Immigration and Radical Right Party Support in Eastern and Central Europe Onawa P. Lacewell, University of Missouri, Columbia Overview: I examine why radical right parties have failed to form at expected levels in East/Central Europe. I use a multi-level model to test whether lower immigration rates in East/Central Europe lead to a decrease of radical right parties in the region. Paper Attitudes Towards Immigration: A Longitudinal Study of the Case of Germany Basak Yavcan, University of Pittsburgh Overview: The purpose of this paper is to reveal where German attitudes towards immigration come from. With a dynamic model incorporating longitudinal data, the role of prejudice and ideology is tested against utilitarian models of preference formation. Disc. Helma G.
