American Nationalism and U.S. Foreign Policy from September 11 to the Iraq War
PAUL T. McCARTNEY examines how the Bush administration drew upon nationalist imagery first to interpret the terrorists attacks of 11 September 2001 and then to frame the war against Iraq. He demonstrates how President Bush drew on both enduring elements of American identity and security concerns following September 11 to provide normative justification for the Iraq invasion. He concludes that the exceptionalist dimension of American nationalism that underpins the Bush doctrine is outdated and dangerous to current foreign policy interests.

Databases, Felons, and Voting: Bias and Partisanship of the Florida Felons List in the 2000 Elections
GUY STUART analyzes the use of the felons' exclusion list in the 2000 presidential elections in Florida. He finds that the state produced a list that contained racially biased errors, and that county supervisors across the state did not use the list uniformly. Instead, party politics intervened: any partisan advantage Republicans gained from the use of the list was offset by Democratic supervisors' refusal to use a flawed list.

Electoral Reform and Partisan Jugglery
Peter H. Argersinger examines the ways in which many of the controversial features of the presidential election of 2000 had precedents in the late nineteenth century.
