Abstract: Researchers on campaign finance and congressional voting behavior are presented with a paradox. Members of Congress do not appear to systemically favor contributors in their policy votes, yet the contributions from interested parties continue to arrive in record amounts. In a previous article, Fellowes and Wolf (2004) presented evidence suggesting that Members practice "tactical rationality," selecting less obvious policy instruments for rewarding their business campaign contributors. Here we extend that initial analysis by examining the interactions of incumbency and marginality with campaign contributions in influencing congressional votes. We find that experienced incumbents practice tactical rationality more expertly than do new Members. We also find that Members continue to reward business contributors with tax expenditures and regulatory relief even as their seats become increasingly safe. Thus, in subtle and clever ways, Members of Congress appear to be on-the-take at any margin. |

Abstract: In recent decades, research on stigma has expanded to include how various groups manage their stigmatized identities. Despite the well documented cases of racism towards gay Asian men in the gay community and homophobia in Asian communities, there is currently no research examining how gay Asian men manage the stigmatized statuses of race and sexuality. In this article, we examine stigma management strategies employed by gay Asian men and explore how gay Asian men also reconceptualize their stigmatized statuses in an attempt to change their stigmatized status to a non-stigmatized one. We argue that stigma management involves not only managing the stigma but also redefining what it means to be a member of a stigmatized group. |

Abstract: The paper discusses the evolution of the theoretical and policy debate about the role of small states in international relations and the counter-marginalization strategies actually used by them to enhance their viability, deal with their dominant-dependent or patron-client relationships, and cope with disadvantageous global changes. Changes in their institutional relationships/strategies are of particular interest.. Contact the author directly at wiscc@cuny.edu since paper is part of a book. |
