Political Analyst | Canadian | Goal: Providing insights to understand political events
New post Analyzing politics is about understanding the perceptions of the people involved. After all, what is politics? Politics is a conflict resolution process between different perceptions/perspectives on how we should live together. The heart of all political issues is how people involved perceive them. https://lnkd.in/ejwyc2gV

Constructivism is the best approach to analyzing politics because it focuses on your political opinion. As a political analyst, your opinion on political matters is my data. https://lnkd.in/eyV92ZZm

A constructivist perspective to analyzing politics exposes what makes a political event possible. When you know how a political system works, you understand the political event that is going on. https://lnkd.in/ehiUbPBn

Happening tonight! ALF Senior Fellow Jeronimo Cortina will be sharing insights from his new book, “Proximity Politics:How Distance Shapes Public Opinion & Political Behavior”. Details below 👇
Lifelong Learner, Civil Engineer, Problem Solver, Creative Mind, Optimist, Champion for Transformation & Equity
“Proximity Politics: How Distance Shapes Public Opinion & Political Behavior.” Join me this Thursday night (9/26) at the Houston Club Lyceum Series and meet Jeronimo Cortina, as we discuss his new book “Party Politics: How Distance Shapes Public Opinion & Political Behavior.” Dr. Cortina is the co-host of Houston Public Media’s Party Politics podcast - a friendly, humorous, and non-partisan recap of the week’s biggest political stories. Dr. Cortina’s recently released book is an examination of the role of distance in shaping attitudes, behaviors, and understandings of the world. Analyzing novel survey data, Jeronimo Cortina demonstrates the crucial ways space and place influence public opinion. He demonstrates that the closer someone is to the event, social group, or policy, the likelier they are to have first-hand, specific, grounded knowledge of the subject. Conversely, distance leads to detachment, making it more likely that decontextualized or unreliable information and individual or group biases will prevail. Considering a wide range of case studies, from virus outbreaks to protests, Cortina unravels how spatial, emotional, temporal, social, and cultural distances affect public opinion. Bringing together quantitative and qualitative data in an accessible style, Proximity Politics shows that even in today’s interconnected world, we are still profoundly influenced by what happens next door. Jeronimo Cortina is an award-winning Professor in the Department of Political Science and the Director of Faculty Research Initiatives at Population Health at the University of Houston. He earned a Ph.D. in Political Science from Columbia University, where he previously earned a Master's degree in public Administration and Public Policy from the School of International and Public Affairs. Dr. Cortina specializes in survey research, immigration, development, and quantitative methods. His work has been published in scholarly and policy journals such as Political Research Quarterly, Policy Studies Journal, Social Science Quarterly, American Politics Research, Foreign Affairs in Spanish, and the Harvard Journal of Hispanic Policy. His latest books include (with Andrew Gelman, David Park, and Boris Shor)“Red State, Blue State, Rich State, Poor State: Why Americans Vote the Way They Do” published by Princeton University Press, “A Quantitative Tour of the Social Sciences” published by Cambridge University Press (with Andrew Gelman) and “New Perspectives on International Migration and Development” (with Enrique Ochoa-Reza) published by Columbia University Press.

Moving on in Beyond Politics' series of posts highlighting the work done by excellent undergraduates writing commentary on pertinent political topics, we have an article posted last fall and written by our very own Michael Donelan. Fleshing out our ensemble of editorials with a grounding in political theory, Mr. Donelan makes the bold but compelling claim that at root, "politics is always, everywhere, inevitably, cruelly, the exercise of irrational violence."
