Welcome to my forum for sharing my views on a variety of political issues. After earning my M.A. from the University of Kansas, I have sought out opportunities to continue the engaging and enlightening discussions that are part of the daily life of a Political Science Graduate Student. Outside of a classroom, it's not easy finding willing and knowledgeable participants in conversations about electoral systems, international trade agreements, the rise of socialists democracies, or the value of political parties. Perhaps this is as much of an attempt to satisfy my personal cravings to read, think, and write on these topics again, as much as it is a way for me to share what I know and understand about politics with whoever will listen. Either way, I hope what I have to say prompts you to read and think more on these important issues, and ultimately form a well-grounded system of personal political beliefs.
My goal will be to write on a new topic every week. I'll introduce the topic with a few of the FAQs on the issue, then provide some background and basic (brief) political theory, and conclude with my own thoughts and analysis. If you have a particular interest in something, let me know, I'll do the research and share my thoughts. Thanks for reading, I look forward to exploring my world with you.
Next week: Party-Animal - Taming the Political Party Beast.
