- > The Social Science History Association will be holding its 18th

- > 1993. The Social Science History Association brings together

- > other scholars interested in applying social science methodology
- > to the study of the past.
- > I am submitting this notice for papers and sessions relating to
- > politics in the U.S. or with a comparative focus. Anyone with a
- > paper to present is encouraged to send a brief prospectus to
- > me at the address below or any other mode of communication.

- > We are particularly interested in inviting scholars from
- > abroad to participate. Some of the topics we hope to cover
- > in the sessions now being planned include:
- >
- > electoral reform (term limitations for elected officials,
- > campaign finance, etc.)
- >
- > The relationship between political structures and policy
- > outputs (i.e., how forms of governance influence the
- > types of actions governments take.
- >
- > Macro-analytical models of political change (how historians
- > sociologists, political scientists and others study or
- > explain such developments as the emergence of the welfare
- > state, fascism, etc.

- > One topic that is of particular interest is how the political

- > from an historical standpoint). What do other societies view
- > as the great strengths and weaknesses in what we in the States
- > call the "American" political process or political culture.
- > One could address this either from the standpoint of the
- > scholarly community's perspective, the general public's view
- > or understanding of the process. What could U.S. scholars
- > learn about the U.S. political system from those looking at
- > it from a distance?
