how media diet partisan frames candidate traits and Political Organization public relationship communication drive party reputation
Public Relations Review, 2020Co-Authors: Nicholas Browning, Kaye D. SweetserAbstract:Abstract This study examined the ability of antecedents such as media diet and candidate traits to impact Political Organization-public relationships (POPRs), in turn affecting views on party reputation. As expected, survey respondents reported greater levels of relationship-focused communication and higher reputation assessments of their own parties, additionally rating their party’s candidate higher in authenticity and character. Connecting media diet and reputation, heavier use of partisan, traditional media (e.g., talk radio and cable news) indicated increased partisan divides, suggesting young and often inexperienced voters engage in motivated reasoning, seeking out information from sources that cater to their existing ideologies. This pattern was less pronounced for infotainment and social media sources, suggesting promising agenda-building opportunities for Political PR practitioners. SEM analyses demonstrated the significant influence of candidate traits and POPR on party reputation, though manifestations of effects differed among Democrats and Republicans, the implications of which are discussed.

credibility or credulity examining Political Organization public relationships in an election of interloping candidates
Journal of Public Relations Research, 2017Co-Authors: Kaye D. Sweetser, Nicholas BrowningAbstract:ABSTRACTThis national online survey (N = 493) examined the Political Organization-public relationship (POPR) that voters perceived with their own Political party and their opposing Political party, as well as voters’ assessment of the credibility of candidates running for president during the primary season of the 2016 election. Results indicated that although credibility assessment of one’s own party’s candidate was much as expected, POPR with the Democratic Party was generally stronger than that with the Republican Party. Data showed no evidence that a poor POPR with one’s own party would drive voters to support interloper candidates. We conclude by reflecting on the importance of POPR with the opposing party and what weak relationships may mean for parties in the long term.

exploring the Political Organization public relationship in terms of relationship personality loyalty and outcomes among first time voters
International Journal of Strategic Communication, 2015Co-Authors: Kaye D. SweetserAbstract:Building on Political Organization-public relationship research, this survey (N = 610) of first-time voters investigates the role of relationship as an independent variable. Relationship contributes to predicting strength of Political party affiliation, alongside personality. Weak relationships appear to be a significant indicator among those who are no longer loyal to their party and cross party lines. Future research should track the path of relationship from these first-time voters to more experienced voters and longer-standing constituents.

Super PACs and Strong Relationships: The Impact of Digital Interaction on the Political Organization–Public Relationship
Journal of Public Relations Research, 2015Co-Authors: Kaye D. Sweetser, Kristin English, Juliana FernandesAbstract:Contributing to the development of digital Political public relations scholarship, this study examines the Political Organization–public relationship cultivated via social media. Using Twitter as a vehicle, this posttest-only experimental design looked at whether interaction with a Political Organization facilitated a relationship. Furthermore, the study examined whether that relationship might manifest into Political support. Results indicate active engagement (tweeting at an Organization), even for a short term, increases the sense that there is a real conversational exchange, enhancing the Organization–public relationship. Internal Political disposition such as Political cynicism, Political information efficacy, or strength of ideology in some cases can help predict Organization–public relationship.

socio Political Organization in the aceramic neolithic of southwestern asia the complex evolution of socio Political complexity
Journal of Anthropological Archaeology, 2019Co-Authors: Michael Rosenberg, Thomas R RocekAbstract:Abstract Attempts to address the socio-Political Organization of the early Neolithic mega-sites in southwestern Asia have generally been hampered by expectations derived from a view of socio-Political evolution rooted in a binary opposition of egalitarianism and hierarchy. We propose that the egalitarianism-hierarchy dichotomy can be unpacked with reference to the distinction between ideology and practice. Both social relations can coexist, with egalitarian ideologies constraining hierarchical practices, producing seemingly egalitarian leadership despite hierarchical practices. We also propose that there were ceremonial sodalities in these early Neolithic societies and that sodalities can be effective agents of social control, exemplifying this interaction of ideology and practice. We argue that the existence of sodalities in any given society is independent of any Political hierarchy as may or may not also exist and that the Political role of sodalities is independent of the influence-authority distinction underlying step-wise socio-Political evolutionary stages, invalidating such stages. Instead, we propose that there exist (reversible) threshold social conditions, only some contingently sequential, which falsely convey a sense of categorical evolutionary stages based solely on the presence of some threshold condition. The early Neolithic mega-sites illustrate the far broader spectrum and multidimensional range of possible socioPolitical Organization produced by cultural evolution.

property rights and the Political Organization of agriculture
Journal of Development Economics, 2007Co-Authors: Jonathan Conning, James A RobinsonAbstract:We propose a general equilibrium model where the economic Organization of agriculture and the Political equilibrium determining the security of property rights are jointly determined. In particular, because the form of Organization may affect the probability and distribution of benefits from future property challenges, it may be shaped in anticipation of this impact. Property rights security may then be secured at the expense of economic efficiency. The model provides a framework for understanding why in some contexts land is redistributed primarily via land sales and tenancy markets but via politics and conflict in others. We test some implications of the theory using a five-decade panel dataset that traces changes in the extent of tenancy and tenancy reform across 15 Indian states.

property rights and the Political Organization of agriculture
2005Co-Authors: Jonathan Conning, James A RobinsonAbstract:The modern theory of agrarian Organization has studied how the economic environment determines Organizational form under the assumption of stable property rights to land. The Political economy literature has modelled the endogenous determination of property rights. In this paper we analyze a general equilibrium model in which the economic Organization of agriculture and the Political equilibrium determining the distribution of property rights are jointly determined. In particular, because the form of Organization may affect the probability and distribution of benefits from agrarian reform, it may be determined in anticipation of this impact. Property rights may then be secured at the expense of economic efficiency. The model provides a framework for understanding why in some contexts the redistribution of land is chanelled primarily via land sale and tenancy markets but via politics and conflict in others. We test some implications of the theory using a five-decade panel that traces changes in the extent of tenancy over five decades across fifteen Indian states.

land reform and the Political Organization of agriculture
2001Co-Authors: Jonathan Conning, James A RobinsonAbstract:The modern theory of agrarian Organization has studied how the economic environment determines Organizational form under the assumption of stable property rights to land. The Political economy literature has modeled the endogenous determination of property rights. In this Paper we propose a model in which the economic Organization of agriculture and the Political equilibrium determining the distribution of property rights are jointly determined. In particular, because the form of Organization may affect the probability and distribution of benefits from agrarian reform, it may be determined in anticipation of this impact. The model offers a reason for why tenancy, despite its economic advantages, has been so little used in countries where agrarian reform is a salient Political issue. We argue that this in particular helps to understand the dearth of tenancy and the relative failure of land reform in Latin America.

Sedentism, subsistence and socio-Political Organization in prehistoric New Zealand
World Archaeology, 2006Co-Authors: Richard Walter, Ian Smith, Chris JacombAbstract:Abstract Much archaeological thinking about the interrelationships between subsistence, sedentism and socio-Political Organization has been carried out within an evolutionary framework. The classic model sees the development of complex social Organization linked to a rise in the importance of agriculture and of a sedentary way of life. The New Zealand record offers challenges to this model. New Zealand is an unusual case involving a society moving from an agricultural to a predominantly hunting and gathering base and then, following large-scale faunal depletions, back towards agriculture. Despite these marked changes in subsistence practices there is little evidence in the archaeological or ethnographic record for any substantial alterations in patterns of mobility, sedentism or socio-Political Organization over the full duration of the New Zealand sequence. In the New Zealand case, cultural traditions inherited from tropical East Polynesia are shown to have been more influential than economics in determi...

Extracting Insights from Prehistoric Andean Metallurgy: Political Organization, Interregional Connections, and Ritual Meanings
Journal of Archaeological Research, 2019Co-Authors: Colleen ZoriAbstract:Metal production in the prehistoric Andes entailed an array of Political, economic, and ritual relationships that are increasingly the focus of archaeological investigation. One theme directing recent research is the link between metallurgy and Political Organization, including the origins of metal production, its relationship to socioPolitical complexity, and how shifts in the Organization of metal production reflect and shape diachronic Political transformations. A second theme is the use of metals to identify and interrogate interregional connections. Patterns in the circulation of different alloys and metal isotopes, as well as the transfer of technology, provide insight into the shifting constellations of economic and Political connections maintained by prehispanic Andean populations. A final theme is ritual and meaning in Andean metallurgy, where I explore how the stages of mining, extractive metallurgy, and the production of metal objects added multivalent layers of meaning and value to metal artifacts. Operating in distinct ways across time and space, metallurgy in the ancient Andes could stimulate Political complexity, drive geoPolitical expansion and the integration of new subject populations, differentiate individuals and groups, connect people to one another and to the landscape, and harness the power of the numinous.
