Stephen J. Farnsworth, professor of political science and director of the University’s Center for Leadership and Media Studies, presented a co-authored paper entitled “The 2008 US Presidential Nomination Campaign on German and UK Television: Policy, Horserace and Character Coverage from Across the Atlantic” at the April annual meeting of the Midwest Political Science Association in Chicago.
Professor of Political Science and International Affairs Elizabeth Freund Larus’ new book “Politics and Society in Contemporary China” is available through Lynne Rienner Publishers.
Elizabeth Larus begins with a broad sweep of China’s modern history—from the imperial era to the present—providing essential context for understanding the current political environment. She then makes sense of the dramatic political, social, and economic changes that have occurred across some six decades. The result is a rich and detailed analysis that is both thought-provoking and accessible, appropriate for students at all levels.
