Paolo Gerbaudo: The Mask and the Flag: Populism, Citizenism and Global Protest, Benjamin Moffitt: The Global Rise of Populism: Performance, Political Style, and Representation

New Global Studies (2018)

John Kane

These two books address the global resurgence of populism in very different ways. Moffitt’s book is an exploration of the notoriously slippery concept of populism, hard to define because it takes such protean forms. Gerbaudo’s is an analysis of the wave of popular protest movements that has roiled countries round the world in recent years.

In Search of Prudence: The Hidden Problem of Managerial Reform

SSRN Electronic Journal (2006)

John Kane Haig Patapan

This article argues that the concept of prudence can provide valuable insights into the problems of the New Public Management. Prudence, or practical wisdom, is the ability to make sound decisions under complex, ever-changeable conditions. Old-style bureaucracy severely limited the discretion of most administrators but preserved a site of true prudential judgment at the peak where discreet mandarins policed the boundary between politics and administration. The reforms that inaugurated New Public Management dismantled this site of prudence while simultaneously attempting, in effect, to disperse prudential judgment and action throughout the service. Though raising the problem of prudence, these reforms misconceived it as the problem of how to balance new freedoms with new controls to prevent abuse or folly. This essay argues that the introduction of market mechanisms, risk-management and cost-benefit techniques, ethics training, performance accountability, and calls to leadership were destined to fail because they misapprehended the problem of prudence.

Fight Clubs: Media Coverage of Party (Dis)unity and Citizens’ Selective Exposure to It

Political Research Quarterly (2019)

John Kane

News media play a key role in communicating information about political parties to the American public. However, our understanding of how media depict relations between elites and the broader party coalitions remains limited. Moreover, while research suggests that forced exposure to such information can affect political attitudes, it remains unclear whether citizens are willing to selectively expose themselves to such communications. To address these two interrelated questions, this study first employs a content analysis to explore patterns in news coverage of inter- and intra-party relations throughout the Obama presidency. Next, two survey experiments investigate the degree to which such relations affect citizens’ self-exposure to such information. Taken together, the analyses uncover two important asymmetries. First, throughout Obama’s presidency, mass media depicted a Republican coalition virtually always against the president, yet substantial discord within the Democratic Party. Second, though partisans show no propensity to consume news depicting inparty unity (vs. disunity), both Republicans and Democrats exhibit a strong tendency to consume news stories depicting disunity in the outparty. Insofar as partisans’ self-exposure to such information is a necessary precondition for attitudinal and behavioral change, these findings have notable implications for how mass media stand to shape partisanship in the United States.

Replication Data for: No Harm in Checking: Using Factual Manipulation Checks to Assess Attentiveness in Experiments

Harvard Dataverse (2018)

John Kane

Manipulation checks are often advisable in experimental studies, yet they rarely appear in practice. This lack of usage may stem from fears of distorting treatment effects and uncertainty regarding which type to use (e.g., instructional manipulation checks [IMCs] or assessments of whether stimuli alter a latent independent variable of interest). Here, we first categorize the main variants and argue that factual manipulation checks (FMCs)—i.e., objective questions about key elements of the experiment—can identify individual-level attentiveness to experimental information and, as a consequence, better enable researchers to diagnose experimental findings. We then find, through four replication studies, little evidence that FMC placement affects treatment effects, and that placing FMCs immediately post-outcome does not attenuate FMC passage rates. Additionally, FMC and IMC passage rates are only weakly related, suggesting that each technique identifies different sets of attentive subjects. Thus, unlike other methods, FMCs can confirm attentiveness to experimental protocols.

States ofBe11,B11, and Physical Review (1961)

P. F. Donovan John Kane R.E. Pixley D. H. Wilkinson

The gamma-decay of the 4.46- and 5.03-Mev levels of ${\mathrm{B}}^{11}$ has been determined by ($p, \ensuremath{\gamma}$) coincidences using the reaction ${\mathrm{Be}}^{9}({\mathrm{He}}^{3}, p){\mathrm{B}}^{11}$. The 5.03-Mev level is found to decay with a probability of 0.14\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.03 via the state at 2.13 Mev; the intensity of the branch to the state at 4.46 Mev is less than 3\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$. The intensity of the branch from the 4.46-Mev level via that at 2.13 Mev is less than 5\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$. The data on these states are reviewed and it is concluded that the present results strongly favor the choices $J=\frac{1}{2}\ensuremath{-}, \frac{5}{2}\ensuremath{-}, \frac{3}{2}\ensuremath{-}$ for the states at 2.13, 4.46, and 5.03 Mev, respectively, without appeal to a model. It is, however, emphasized that the body of data as it stands at the moment might admit $J=\frac{1}{2}+$ for the 2.13-Mev state and $J=\frac{1}{2}\ensuremath{-}$ for the 5.03-Mev state. The previsions of the independent-particle model (IPM) are then examined and it is concluded that best general agreement between theory and experiment is achieved for $\frac{a}{K}\ensuremath{\approx}4\ensuremath{-}4.5$. The likely relevance of the collective model is remarked upon. It is demonstrated with the aid of the reaction ${\mathrm{B}}^{10}(p, \ensuremath{\gamma}){\mathrm{C}}^{11}$ that the ordering of the first three excited states of ${\mathrm{C}}^{11}$ is the same as in ${\mathrm{B}}^{11}$. The beta-decay of ${\mathrm{Be}}^{11}$ is reconsidered in the light of the increased firmness of the assignments in ${\mathrm{B}}^{11}$ and of the previsions of the IPM; it is concluded that ${\mathrm{Be}}^{11}$ is most probably of even parity.
