Despite the climate crisis, traffic congestion, and income inequality, America still heavily relies on the automobile to travel, even as other countries across the world use widespread and complex mass transit systems. Americans must reconsider how they travel. This begs the question of what methods are successfully employed by institutions in the United States to get automobile drivers to substitute their trips ("mode shift") with other modes of mass transit. To shed light on this complicated issue, I conduct a case comparison of the light rail systems in the Dallas and Houston metro areas, assessing their successes and shortcomings. I build upon two main theoretical approaches: the effects of socio-demographics and past experiences on travel behavior, as well as research on policy formation and outputs. My study reaffirms links between dense development and increased ridership and also identifies the importance of linking different transit modes and targeting service. The effects of government and non-government organizations on ridership were mixed, as different groups in both types of organizations could both imped and facilitate light rail development and use.

Despite the fact that Elite College's student body hails from a variety of socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds, numerous students at Elite College have complained of a lack of political diversity on campus. In this project I examine whether the formal and informal administrative and faculty practices at Elite College effectively promote political discussion in which students can form, question, and/or change their political beliefs. I used a detailed interview guide to further understand students at Elite College familial background and their experiences at Elite College. Given the time constraints, I was not able to make any overarching findings regarding Elite College. However, I was able to categorize the interview data into three critical section which effectively set the stage for further research. Upon interviewing 12 students at Elite College I identified the 1) Transition Period from high school to college (independence, clashing of socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, becoming informed), 2) the Environmental Factors that exist at Elite College (Semi-open discussion, classroom and office hours, discussion with peers) and Political Bashing (Making fun of or dismissing opposing viewpoints) that takes place in the classroom and around campus as the most salient. In this paper, I will further enumerate and contextualize these preliminary findings as they pertain to the broader literature regarding the way students form, question, and/or change their political beliefs on small liberal arts campuses.

Deutschland und die westlichen Demokratien im 20. Jahrhundert Gerd Koenen: Zwischen Antibolschewismus und "Ostorientierung" - Kontinuitäten und Diskontinuitäten Moshe Zimmermann: Strukturmerkmale der deutschen Geschichte - Deutsche Juden: Transterritoriale Kohärenzen Das Ergebnis der hier versammelten Beiträge mag überraschen: Aus unserer zeitgenössischen Perspektive vom Anfang des 21. Jahrhunderts rückt der säkulare Bruch des Jahres 1945 zunehmend in den Hintergrund. Stattdessen wird der Zäsurcharakter des Jahrzehnts ab 1970 immer bedeutender. Um 1970 hatte sich die Struktur der Industriestaaten rapide zu verflüssigen begonnen. Diese für Europa und Nordamerika charakteristische Formation war geprägt von der Montanindustrie im festen Rahmen des politisch autonomen Einzelstaats. Sie hatte die Epoche der Weltkriege hervorgebracht mit völlig neuartigen Formen von industrialisierter Kriegführung, Gewaltexzessen und Genozid und, im Wechsel damit, Phasen tiefgreifender sozialer Reform und politisch-gesellschaftlicher Neuordnung. Das Ende dieses Industriesystems stellte auch die sozialen und politischen Handlungsmuster des 20. Jahrhunderts in Frage.

Transatlantic democracy in the 20th century - this concept goes beyond the idea of an American civilizing mission in Europe after two World Wars, and certainly beyond the notion of re-educating Germans, and making them fit for Western institutions after Nazism. As democracy is being contested anew in the beginning of the 21st century, a much more complicated landscape of democracy since 1900 emerges. Transfer was not a one-way-street, and patterns of conflict and transformation affected both American and European political societies. American democracy may not be reduced to a resilient defense of original traditions, while the narrative of German democracy is more than redemption from catastrophe. The essays in this volume contribute to a new history of transatlantic democracy that accounts for its manifold experiences and constant renegotiations, up to the current challenges of American and European populism.
