Michael Paul Rogin's scholarship profoundly altered the scope, content, and disposition of political theory. He reconstituted the field by opening it to an array of texts, performances, and methods previously considered beyond the purview of the discipline. His work addressed the relationship between dimensions of politics typically split apart - institutional power and cultural forms, material interests and symbolic meanings, class projects and identity politics, the public and the private. Rogin's scholarship enlarges our sense of the borders and genres defining political theory as a field and enriches our capacity to think critically and creatively about the political. The editors have focused on three categories of substantive innovation: Demonology and Countersubversion Rogin used the concepts "countersubversive tradition "and "political demonology "to theorize how constitutive exclusions and charged images of otherness generated imagined national community. He exposed not only the dynamics of suppressing and delegitimizing political opposition, but also how politics itself is devalued and displaced. The Psychic Life of Liberal Society Rogin addressed the essential contradiction in liberalism as both an ideology and a regime - how a polity professing equality, liberty, and pluralist toleration engages in genocide, slavery, and imperial war. Political Mediation: Institutions and Culture Rogin demonstrated how cultural forms - pervasive myths, literary and cinematic works - mediate political life, and how political institutions mediate cultural energies and aspirations.

"The first edition of Real Econometrics attempted to reduce math anxiety for students learning applied statistical techniques. Beginning with the assumption that students will learn more if they start with experiments and see how the statistical enterprise is used to approximate certain features of the experimental process, the book gives students a chance to explore policy questions at every step of the way. The response to this approach has been tremendous. Instructors appreciate the author's reliance on endogeneity as a founding concept, his more conversational and sometimes humorous writing style, and the diversity of examples and hands-on work. Political Science professors understand "Real Stats" as a book that will bridge their students from their earlier course on basic statistics to more advanced econometric techniques. One of the early reviewers described the book as "a stats book that ... really just cuts to the chase instead of wasting time on probablity theory and chi squares." For instructors teaching a research methods course to graduate students or upper level undergraduates in political science, public policy, or law, this is a welcome and badly needed approach. For this second edition of Real Stats, suggestions from reviewers will be considered carefully. The book may contain too much material for the typical political science oriented class, and it will not need some of the additional content planned for the revision of Real Economtrics such as advanced time series concepts. However, an expanded appendix (or early chapter introduction) reviewing probabilty and statistics, additional coverage of data presentation, the addition of conceptual exercises to balance out the mostly mathematical problems, and the inclusion of more code and guidance for R software are all likely improvements."

A response to Matthew Watson's critique of Dolowitz's "Prosperity and Fairness? Can New Labour Bring Fairness to the 21st Century by following the Dictates of Endogenous Growth?" (2004), contends that the link between economic models & social scientific observations supports both the argument developed in the article & its methodological approach. The increasing complexity of endogenous growth theory in no way eliminates the logic of the argument that New Labour is following the dictates of an endogenous growth model. There is also disagreement with Watson's claims that it's not possible to link economic theory to policy observations & endogenous growth has nothing to do with wider political goals. Although Watson is correct when he says no government is a slave to economic models, it is maintained that ideology affects how governments interpret their role in shaping social outcomes. It is concluded that political scientists have the advantage of being able to employ a variety of theoretical models drawn from a wide range of social scientific disciplines in their attempt to explain empirical observations. 16 References.

PAPER ON THE POLITICAL SCIENCE "COMMUNITY", DATA ARE DRAWN FROM THREE MAJOR SURVEYS SPONSORED IN 1969 BY THE CARNEGIE COMMISSION ON HIGHER EDUCATION OF FACULTY, GRADUATE STUDENTS, AND UNDERGRADUATES, ANY ASSESSMENT OF THE STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS OF THE PERFORMANCE OF A DISCIPLINE REQUIRES BOTH STUDENT AND FACULTY JUDGMENTS.

ABSTRACTA community of practice is where a group works together toward a shared goal. This article argues that Twitter hosts a community of practice within political science and international relations. This occurs in three key ways: (1) offering an area to share feelings about our role as educators, (2) connecting to a wider network of educators in our discipline (and other disciplines), and (3) providing a space to proffer practical support. This has been especially true during the current COVID-19 pandemic, when many educators are teaching remotely and potentially feeling cut off from colleagues and students at their institution. In more normal times, Twitter also offers a valuable means of connecting with other scholars in the discipline across the world, providing a space to learn from and support one another. The article concludes by reflecting on what this might mean for continued professional development in the political science and international relations discipline.
