THE IMPACT OF THE NEW RIGHT ON FRESHMEN REPUBLICANS IN THE 97TH SESSION OF CONGRESS: A ROLL CALL ANALYSIS.
Creator
DUERK, DAVID MARK., Florida Atlantic University, Gatlin, Douglas S., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Political Science
Abstract/Description
The relationship between New Right funding in the 1980 election and conservative congressional voting by freshmen Republicans in the 97th Congress is examined in a multi-stage process. Chapter I briefly outlines the previous studies dealing with congressional roll call voting. An examination is then made in Chapter II to determine the issue positions of the New Right and the movement's 1980 congressional election funding activities. Chapter III uses these established issue positions to...
Show moreThe relationship between New Right funding in the 1980 election and conservative congressional voting by freshmen Republicans in the 97th Congress is examined in a multi-stage process. Chapter I briefly outlines the previous studies dealing with congressional roll call voting. An examination is then made in Chapter II to determine the issue positions of the New Right and the movement's 1980 congressional election funding activities. Chapter III uses these established issue positions to determine conservative support scores within three policy dimensions. An initial analysis of the relationship is then made to determine if New Right funding is a predictive variable within the roll call analysis. With this established relationship Chapter IV uses regression analysis to determine the predictive strength of the New Right funding when it is compared with the factors most often cited as roll call determinants.

MONEY, OUTPUT, AND PRICES: A CROSS SPECTRAL ANALYSIS
Title
MONEY, OUTPUT, AND PRICES: A CROSS SPECTRAL ANALYSIS.
Creator
DMYTROW, ERIC DONALD., Florida Atlantic University, Redman, Milton, College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description
This thesis tests the transmission mechanism through which changes in the rate of growth of the money supply affect changes in output and prices. Cross-spectral analysis was used to test the transmission mechanism. The results support a neo-keynesian transmission mechanism which associates changes in the money supply with changes in investment.

DEMOGRAPHIC DETERMINANTS OF SENATORS' ROLL-CALL VOTING POSITIONS ON FOREIGN AID LEGISLATION, 1947-1974

DEMOGRAPHIC DETERMINANTS OF SENATORS' ROLL-CALL VOTING POSITIONS ON FOREIGN AID LEGISLATION, 1947-1974.
Creator
DEMACK, GARY CLARK., Florida Atlantic University, Gatlin, Douglas S., Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Political Science
Abstract/Description
Political scientists have attempted to determine why legislators vote as they do on proposed legislation. An integral part of this research is how selected demographic characteristics influence legislators on roll-call votes. Party, region, and senators' service on the Foreign Relations Committee are found here to be related to senators' votes on foreign aid legislation, the issue perhaps most representative of voting on foreign policy in general. While these relationships are significant in...
Show morePolitical scientists have attempted to determine why legislators vote as they do on proposed legislation. An integral part of this research is how selected demographic characteristics influence legislators on roll-call votes. Party, region, and senators' service on the Foreign Relations Committee are found here to be related to senators' votes on foreign aid legislation, the issue perhaps most representative of voting on foreign policy in general. While these relationships are significant in several sessions of the Congresses studied here, none of them remain statistically significant throughout the eight sessions of the four Congresses studied. Even where significant relationships have been hypothesized here on the basis of past research findings, findings from the present study do not altogether support earlier findings. In particular, service on the Foreign Relations Committee ceases to be a significant determinant in later sessions and representing Eastern states is the strongest regional determinant.

The impact of electoral forces on party unity: An analysis of voting patterns among Florida's Democratic congressional delegation, 1972-1992.
Creator
O'Malley, Terence Trumpy Sr., Florida Atlantic University, Pritchard, Anita, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Political Science
Abstract/Description
This thesis examines the impact of electoral forces on party unity scores among Florida's Democratic congressional delegation from 1972 to 1992. The impacts of in-migration of non-southern whites, immigration of Hispanics, realignment into the Republican Party, and the enfranchisement of Black voters were analyzed. The increased party unity scores among Florida's Democratic Representatives was determined to be primarily the result of in-migration and realignment which resulted in a smaller,...

The impacts of in-migration of non-southern whites, immigration of Hispanics, realignment into the Republican Party, and the enfranchisement of Black voters were analyzed. The increased party unity scores among Florida's Democratic Representatives was determined to be primarily the result of in-migration and realignment which resulted in a smaller, but more homogeneous Democratic delegation, a trend likely to continue.

Electoral redistricting and reapportionment: Options for Florida
Title
Electoral redistricting and reapportionment: Options for Florida.
Creator
Assmann, Carol Hynes., Florida Atlantic University, Schultz, Ronald R.
Abstract/Description
Congressional redistricting has become one of the many flashpoints resulting from Florida's uneven and ethnically diverse population growth. The Fourteenth Amendment's declaration that government may not "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws" seems to have been taken to the extreme by creating congressional districts specifically based on race and ethnicity. This paper investigates alternatives to racial/ethnic gerrymandering. Methods such as...
Show moreCongressional redistricting has become one of the many flashpoints resulting from Florida's uneven and ethnically diverse population growth. The Fourteenth Amendment's declaration that government may not "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws" seems to have been taken to the extreme by creating congressional districts specifically based on race and ethnicity. This paper investigates alternatives to racial/ethnic gerrymandering. Methods such as proportional representation, cumulative and preference voting, including multi-member districts will be considered. The study contends that even conventional districts can provide fair representation when based on major man-made and natural geographic features.

Split-level realignment: Working and middle social class voting behavior in the South and non-South.
Creator
Howard, Wayne B., Florida Atlantic University, Pritchard, Anita, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Political Science
Abstract/Description
Analyzing changes in the political party system has been approached in numerous forms. This paper examines change in state level party strength and political behavior at the individual level. By analyzing state level partisan balance shifts between 1952-1988, states cluster into groups based on their aggregate electoral partisan strength. Utilizing the methodology of Earl and Merle Black (1987) and by compiling data from the University of Michigan's Survey Research Center-Center for Political...

This paper examines change in state level party strength and political behavior at the individual level. By analyzing state level partisan balance shifts between 1952-1988, states cluster into groups based on their aggregate electoral partisan strength. Utilizing the methodology of Earl and Merle Black (1987) and by compiling data from the University of Michigan's Survey Research Center-Center for Political Studies (SRC-CPS), political attitudes of socio-economic groups are compared between states which show trends of Republicanism versus those favoring a Democratic party trend. These comparisons shed light on current realignment theory, the dismantling of the New Deal coalition, and the forming of new coalitions.

Split-ticket voting: An analysis of the 1980, 1984, and 1988 elections.
Creator
Gunnarsson, Candace L., Florida Atlantic University, Pritchard, Anita, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, Department of Political Science
Abstract/Description
This thesis examines one aspect of the decline in partisanship--split-ticket voting. Vote choices in three presidential elections--1980, 1984, and 1988--were analyzed. Split-ticket voting was examined among four groups in the voting population: race, region, age, and social class. There were only limited differences in the inclination to vote split-tickets among the groups analyzed. Incumbency at the House and Senate level was considered to be a viable factor which increased split-ticket...

There were only limited differences in the inclination to vote split-tickets among the groups analyzed. Incumbency at the House and Senate level was considered to be a viable factor which increased split-ticket voting. The factor of incumbency did encourage split-ticket voting in House races. However, it was not as significant a factor in Senate races.
