Implementing the Protocols on Normalization and Recognition
Turkey and Armenia signed normalization and recognition protocols on October 10, 2009. The protocols are an historic breakthrough opening the Turkey-Armenia border after 16 years and establishing inter-governmental working groups. Professor Phillips maintains that reconciliation is a process, not an event. He warns that progress will flounder without continued involvement by the United States and incentives from the European Union. He also emphasizes the role of civil society in moving the process forward.

What was the basis of the global war on terrorism after the 9/11 attacks? What was the nature of the threat posed by al Qaeda, as the senior leadership of the US government perceived in in the aftermath of 9/11? And what are the lasting implications of the momentous decisions of the Bush administration? This seminar will attempt to transport you back to the weeks and months after the al Qaeda attack, to examine these and other issues that continue to reverberate in the US and abroad.

Tim Judah
WELCOME TO THE YUGOSPHERE: GOOD NEWS FROM THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA
News from the Balkans is bad, right? But what if that is not the whole story? After all good news is no news. In the last few years, from Slovenia to Macedonia a Yugosphere has emerged in the lands which were once Yugoslavia. What is it and what could this mean?
Tim Judah covers the Balkans for the Economist. He is the author of three books on the region: The Serbs: History, Myth and the Destruction of Yugoslavia and Kosovo: War & Revenge. The third, Kosovo: What Everyone Needs to Know was published at the end of 2008. From 1990 to 1991 he lived in Bucharest and covered the aftermath of communism in Romania and Bulgaria for The Times and The Economist. After that he moved to Belgrade for both publications in order to cover the war in Yugoslavia. He moved back to London in 1995 but continues to travel frequently to the region. He writes almost all the coverage of the former Yugoslavia for The Economist. n spring of this year he was a Senior Visiting Research Fellow at the South East European Research Unit of the European Institute at the London School of Economics. Since 11 September 2001 he has also covered other parts of the world for The Economist and the New York Review of Books amongst others. These have included Afghanistan, Iraq, North Korea and Darfur. He has also reported from Georgia for The Economist, including Abkhazia and South Ossetia. In 2008 he published a book for Reportage Press Bikila: Ethiopia’s Barefoot Olympian which is about the life and times of the first black African to win a gold medal at the Olympics in Rome 1960. He was shortlisted for this in the best new sportswriter category for the 2009 British Sports Book Awards.

Post Doctoral Fellow with the Alexander Hamilton Center.
In many developing democracies, non-elected local patrons are believed to influence the electoral choices of their wider communities. However, scholars have little evidence of the power of these leaders and limited understanding of how they convert their socioeconomic power into political influence when voting is secret. I develop a theory that argues voters defer to the political preferences of patrons not out of fear of punishment but because they understand their patrons are pivotal actors in the process of securing development for their communities. Patrons monopolize control of key local development inputs and they are uniquely positioned to lobby for government resources. This makes their connections to and willingness to collaborate with elected representatives consequential for the amount of development their communities can expect to receive from politicians. As a result, voters rationally take their patron's preferences into account when casting their ballots. I test this theory using data from an experiment in Zambia. In the experiment, I revealed traditional chiefs' opinions about local Members of Parliament to a randomly selected subset of survey respondents. Then all respondents were asked to participate in an opinion poll on whether they would support their Member of Parliament if an election were held in the next year. I assess the plausibility of different theories of patrons' influence by examining whether there are heterogenous treatment effects across different groups of voters. The types of voters who are most influenced by their chief's opinions are very consistent with the theory outlined in the paper.

Boris Kagarlitsky
Director of Institute for Globalization and Social Movements
Among developed countries Russia is one of the most affected by the current economic crisis. GDP is expected to decline by 10% and much of industrial recovery of the last decade has already been lost to the new recession. However the main problem is political. During Putin's "good years" high oil prices were allowed to satisfy contradictory demands of different groups and elites, simultaneously improving living conditions of the majority. In the new situation this is no longer possible and the government is confused about its choices.
But will that signal the end of Putin's model of "managed democracy"?

The NYU Alexander Hamilton Center for Political Economy and The Wilf Family Department of Politics
The Second Annual GRADUATE STUDENT CONFERENCE ON POLITICAL ECONOMY
Friday, May 8th 2009
The
Alexander Hamilton Center for Political Economy is accepting proposals
for panels and papers for its SECOND ANNUAL GRADUATE STUDENT
CONFERENCE. We particularly welcome proposals that examine various
important, theoretical, and policy problems such as the design of
governing institutions, the development and distribution of human
capital, and the means by which fundamental policy issues can be
resolved or advanced through the promotion of efficient and effective
solutions that are sensitive to the political, economic, and social
realities. We encourage panel and paper submissions that are grounded
in political economy approaches that draw out how individual economic
and political incentives interact to create constraints and
opportunities for citizens, political leaders, and entrepreneurs in the
private or public sector to address policy issues. Participants graduate students. Papers base on other approaches will be considered.
Submission of abstracts may be of two types: 1. Individual paper presentations 2. Proposals to organize a panel of up to four individuals on a particular theme or topic.
Some
financial assistance may be available to assist participants. The
Alexander Hamilton Center will cover their expenses for up to $400.
Financial assistance will generally be only available to individuals
presenting at the conference. Any expenditures must be approved by the
Committee.
The Committee will select which, in its judgment,
is the best paper presented at the conference. The author or authors
of the selected paper will receive a prize of $1500.
The Role of the Regions in Europe: The Flanders Case
Location:
19 University Place Room 102
Time:
11:15~12:30
The Regions are getting more important in Europe. This is not only
true from an economic but also from an institutional point of view. The
politics of regionalism have their impact on the pan-European level.
The regions of Europe are lobbying for an increased say in EU affairs.
This is quite relevant given their competences in certain policy
fields.
Examples include Flanders as an autonomous region of Belgium, the
German Länder or Scotland and Wales in the United Kingdom. If Europe
wants to tackle the actual crisis in an efficient way all actors –
regions, member states and the European institutions have to combine
efforts. Only with combined efforts they are able to provide for the
necessary warrants, guarantees and support systems to keep the economic
system working.
Mr. Kris Peeters, Minister President of Flanders will
explain his views of the role of the Flemish region in the European
Union and how it can contribute to a more efficient Europe.
Two men sharing startling visions of the future possess distinctly
different backgrounds: Michel de Nostradamus was a French apothecary
and healer in the 16th century; he would become the most famous seer in
history. His 21st century counterpart is Dr. Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, a
renowned political scientist who teaches game theory at New York
University and Stanford. While Nostradamus looked to the stars and
mysticism to divine his apocalyptic revelations, Dr. Bueno de Mesquita
relies on the most omnipotent tool ever designed by man to predict
future events: the computer. This special explores not only the
commonalities of these men's visions about World War III, famine and
the coming of the Anti-Christ, but it also traces the evolution from
mysticism to hard math, and determines whether science has always
existed in prophecy, manifesting itself in different forms through the
ages.

Over the last twenty years, the number of bilateral and regional
preferential trade agreements in existence has increased very rapidly.
Explanations of this development emphasize factors such as the spread
of democracy, deadlock in multilateral trade negotiations, and
learning. Our argument is that policy diffusion as a result of
competition over market access is a major driving force behind what has
become known as the “new regionalism”. The causal reasoning is that
facing trade diversion, exporters excluded from a preferential trade
agreement are likely to mobilize and push their government into signing
an agreement with the country in which their exports are threatened. We
test our argument against alternative explanations in a quantitative
analysis of the proliferation of preferential trade agreements among
168 countries between 1990 and 2007. By showing that competition is
indeed a major cause of the new regionalism, the paper contributes to
the literatures on regionalism and policy diffusion.
