CONTINUED SESSION - THE RISE OF THE BOTTOM BILLION? William Ascher, Donald C. McKenna Professor of Government and Economics

Roberts North 105 Contrary to what many believe, major parts of the developing world have made very impressive strides in economic growth, and probably in poverty alleviation and even income equality. By the target date of 2015, many countries had exceeded the official (but controversial) Millennium Development

Goals of growth and poverty-alleviation targets, widely regarded as unrealistic when established in 2000. How did a really poor country like Bangladesh come to be the second fastest-growing country? How did Sub-Saharan Africa become the fastest growing region? How do some countries avoid the developed countries’ pattern that growth increases inequality? How do income distribution trends affect levels of violence–countries like Thailand, thought to be more politically explosive because of increasing inequality, have actually seen less inequality? So what is the magic formula for peaceful poverty alleviation and greater income shares for the poor?

TARGET SHOOT AND ROTC OPEN HOUSE

Roberts North 15 Since the American founding, broad agreement on the republican principles embodied in the Constitution has been a necessary condition for constructive policy debate. But what if the broad consensus over the Constitution breaks down? What if the nature of the conflict that currently animates our politics,

term “polarization,” is in fact the result of underlying disagreements on key elements of the Constitution? In particular, are the limitations that the Constitution places on democratic political power under sustained attack? In a forthcoming edited volume, co-edited by Professor Zachary Courser ’99, research indicates that instead of partisan conflict building consensus within the electorate for change, American institutions are straining against their constitutional limits to govern within a gridlocked system. The danger of this dysfunction is a gradual erosion of the authority of the Constitution, the legitimacy of its political institutions, and its protections majorities.
