Report written by Byrnes and delivered at the 1989 annual meeting of the American Political Science Association.

This article is devoted to the history of the Department of Political Science and Sociology of Political Processes of the Faculty of Sociology at Lomonosov Moscow State University. The stages of the organization and formation of the Department, the processes of teaching formation and methodological activities, which have occurred over the thirty-year history of the Faculty of Sociology, are considered, and the priority areas of the professors research works are outlined.

Discusses the usefulness of Shakespeare's Coriolanus for teaching courses in American government. The play's representation of contentious Roman politics vividly illustrates the kind of critiques put forth in the Federalist. The play also dramatizes the complexities of political strategy, the identification of a republic's values with its regime, & the problematics of political ambition. Coriolanus may be studied in conjunction with Tocqueville's Democracy in America as well as with the Federalist papers to engage student interest in democracy, political expertise, leadership, regime types, & social values such as honor & ambition. 11 References.

Only some Americans fully exercise their rights as citizens, and they usually come from the more advantaged segments of society. Those who enjoy higher incomes, more occupational success, and the highest levels of formal education are the ones most likely to participate in politics and make their needs and values known to government officials. Our review of research on inequality and political participation as well as other components of American political life demonstrates an extraordinary association between economic and political inequality.

For the last twenty years, political scientists in French-speaking Belgium have been federated under the French-speaking Belgium Political Science Association (ABSP) which is the IPSA representative for Belgium and heir of the once unitary Belgian Institute for Political Science. ABSP just celebrated its 20th anniversary and published a book in French that offers the state of the discipline in terms of teaching, research, and service: L'ABSP: 20 ans de science politique en Belgique francophone (Reuchamps et al. 2017). No fewer than 43 political scientists from all Belgian French-speaking universities and from the dif- ferent fields in the discipline contributed to this edited volume. In this chapter, we build on these insights to present the state of political science in French-speaking Belgium in regards to the digital (r)evolution. Based on longitudinal data and perspectives about teaching, research, and service, we seek to assess how political science evolves in our – small – part of the world, with a special focus on how it has embraced (or not) the digitalization trend in the discipline.

In the article questions of voting of one-company towns of the Republic of Karelia on amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation are investigated in the summer of 2020. The interest of the appeal to a single case is caused by low values of electoral turnout in the region. The analysis of the results of the referendum in single-profile municipalities of the Republic is due to low socio-economic indicators in comparison with the rest of the Russian Federation. The paper contains a table that provides information on the percentage of voter turnout and the distribution of responses to constitutional amendments for each polling station in 11 single-industry towns in Karelia. The study identified two groups of factors that influenced the results of the constitutional referendum in single-industry municipalities in the region. The first category included circumstances that are typical for all regions of the Russian Federation: psychological fatigue from information about the COVID-19 pandemic and the postponement of voting for the summer vacation period. The second included specific indicators typical of Karelian single-industry towns: the combination of elements of patriarchal and national political culture in the practice of electoral participation, the geographical location of singleindustry towns on the territory of the Republic, their distance from the center and proximity to European borders.

This document provides estimates of the number and characteristics of political science faculty and students. The data utilized in this report are drawn from a number of sources: National Center for Education Statistics, National Research Council's Survey of Earned Doctorates; National Science Foundation; and two data collection devices of the American Political Science Association: The Guide to Graduate Study in Political Science and The Survey of Departments.In many cases the statistics presented are estimates of the relevant population based on information available on a sample of cases. We shall attempt to be explicit about our definitions and estimation procedures, so that the reader can draw his own conclusions on the usefulness of individual components of this report.

ABSTRACTThe importance of data science in society today is undeniable, and now is the time to prepare data science talent (National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine 2018). Data science demands collaboration, but collaboration within political science departments has been weak in teaching data science. Bridging substantive and methods courses can critically aid in teaching data science because it facilitates this collaboration. Our innovation is to integrate data science into both substantive and methods courses through a dedicated data science course and modules on data science topics taught in substantive courses. This approach allows not only for more opportunities for teaching and practice of data science methods but also helps students to understand how social, economic, and political biases and incentives can affect their data.
