<description>Summer Institute in Political Psychology (SIPP)
Brewer, Marilynn B., 1942-; Herrmann, Richard
For the past twelve years, the Ohio State University has&#13;
organized a Summer Institute in Political Psychology (SIPP) in&#13;
conjunction with the International Society of Political&#13;
Psychology. Each morning, a member of SIPP’s guest faculty will&#13;
present his or her current research. This is not necessarily just a lecture; it&#13;
is an opportunity to learn about ongoing study in political psychology,&#13;
learn cutting-edge methodologies and explore substantive and professional&#13;
issues in this work. Each session allows for Q and A and substantial&#13;
intellectual exchanges among faulty and students.

<description>The Cultural Politics of Homeland Security: Negotiating Muslim Identities After Sept. 11
Kwan, Mei-Po
This project is motivated by the premise that the experience of&#13;
the Muslims in the U.S. after 9/11 can profoundly affect the&#13;
effectiveness of U.S. homeland security policies and measures in&#13;
the long run. The project seeks to understand how Muslim&#13;
identities are negotiated in the especially hostile environment in&#13;
the U.S. after 9/11, and how individual and community&#13;
predicaments involved in such negotiations can be destabilizing&#13;
without being properly understood and addressed at the level of&#13;
national politics.

<description>Problem Representation and the Israeli-Palestinian and Northern Ireland Conflicts
Sylvan, Don; Grove, Andrea
This project is a two-part study, and the first phase of this&#13;
project produced an article that is presently under review at a&#13;
journal. That article includes striking results concerning the&#13;
relationship between problem representation and conflict in the&#13;
Middle East and Northern Ireland. The second part of this study&#13;
will continue to investigate the phenomenon of leaders&#13;
representing intergroup relationships differently to disparate&#13;
audiences.

<title>Presidential-Congressional Conflict in Domestic and Foreign Policymaking: A Fresh Approach to its Measurement and Explanation</title>

<description>Presidential-Congressional Conflict in Domestic and Foreign Policymaking: A Fresh Approach to its Measurement and Explanation
Mughan, Anthony
Presidential-congressional conflict is the leitmotif of American&#13;
government. Historically, however, a congressional tradition of&#13;
bipartisanship in foreign policymaking has meant that conflict has&#13;
been far more characteristic of domestic policy debate. In the&#13;
contemporary era, however, the erosion of bipartisanship, the&#13;
prevalence of divided government and the increasing divisiveness&#13;
of a number of overseas commitments have meant that foreign&#13;
policy decisions in particular have become more controversial in&#13;
Washington DC. Surprisingly, however, very little is known about&#13;
the short-term dynamics of congressional-presidential conflict in&#13;
either policy sphere. A good part of the reason is that nobody has&#13;
produced a measure that, one, picks up short-term variation in&#13;
the incidence and intensity of conflict between the two branches&#13;
of government and, two, that can be used to sketch the pattern&#13;
of similarities and differences in the character of foreign as&#13;
opposed to domestic policy conflict. Content analyzing newspaper&#13;
articles, this project proposes such a measure and investigates&#13;
its relationship to, amongst other things, public opinion,&#13;
economic performance and overseas involvement.

<description>Modeling Franco-German Relations in the Postwar Era
Verdier, Daniel
A central question is how and when can states create&#13;
international institutions to avoid resorting to war. A stated&#13;
purpose of European integration after the war was to preserve&#13;
peace between France and Germany. It is not clear, however,&#13;
what institutional features of European integration were designed&#13;
to achieve this goal. Using game theory, Verdier will explore&#13;
three distinct ways of modeling the problem and identify the&#13;
aspects of the known historical reality that are captured by each&#13;
model.

A quarter-long program will examine identity formation in the&#13;
Arab world within the performing and visual arts. "Identity&#13;
Formation in the Arab World" brings together theatre and film&#13;
practitioners and theorists working in a range of Arab countries,&#13;
as well as US scholars and artists whose work intersects issues of&#13;
linguistic, cultural, and religious identity in the Middle East.

This project explores the dynamics of presidential power in 20&#13;
postcommunist countries over the last decade. It asks: why have&#13;
some presidents in the region expanded their powers&#13;
dramatically, while others have not?

<description>Bargaining and Resource Allocation in Committees and Legislative Bodies: Theory and Experimental Evaluation
Kagel, John
Allocation of scarce resources is a central activity of governments&#13;
and a great number of international and national organizations,&#13;
often creating conflict between different stakeholders in these&#13;
organizations. Recent years have seen the development of game&#13;
theoretic models designed to understand the bargaining process&#13;
underlying these allocations, both in terms of their impact on&#13;
economic efficiency and on the share of resources allocated to&#13;
different stakeholders. Central to these models is the impact of&#13;
institutional rules and relative bargaining power on the allocation&#13;
of resources between competing factions. The present proposal is&#13;
designed to fund experiments to investigate the predictions of&#13;
these legislative bargaining models.
