Replication Data for: Introducing the LEAD Data Set
No full textThis dataset includes the data and replication information necessary to replicate Cali M. Ellis, Michael C. Horowitz, and Allan C. Stam, “Introducing the LEAD Dataset.” International Interactions. 41:4 (2015), pp. 718-741. The Leader Experience and Attribute Descriptions (LEAD) data set provides a rich source of new information about the personal lives and experiences of over 2,000 state leaders from 1875–2004. For the first time, we can combine insights from psychology and human development with large-N data on interstate conflict for a new theory of leadership and interstate relations. The data set provides details about military experiences, childhood, education, personal and family life, and occupational history before leaders assumed power. The data are available in leader-year format and are compatible with existing tools for analysis such as EUGene (Bennett and Stam 2000). This research note discusses the motivation for the creation of the LEAD data set and discusses the coding decisions for most of the key variables. We provide a series of descriptive statistical illustrations of the data and illustrate the depth of the available information with cases from Latin American leaders, showing the durability of these personal experiences across space and time

David Horowitz: The Art of Political War
No full textA best-selling author, Horowitz made the lifelong intellectual and political journey from 1960s radical activist and leader of the New Left to crusader against what he calls the corrosive effects of leftism on culture.
During the 1960s Horowitz became the leader of the New Left, editing Ramparts magazine, an influential left-wing journal. Dissatisfied with the tragic consequences of radical policies in America and abroad, he withdrew from politics in the 1970s.
Horowitz and his partner, Peter Collier, then co-authored a series of best-selling biographies of prominent American families: The Rockefellers: An American Dynasty (1976), The Kennedys: An American Drama (1985), The Fords: An American Epic (1987) and The Roosevelts: An American Saga (1994).
In 1989, Horowitz co-authored Destructive Generations: Second Thoughts About the Sixties, which chronicled the legacy of the New Left and its effects on American politics and culture. His autobiography, Radical Son (1987), recounts his political journey, while his latest book, The Politics of Bad Faith, focuses on leftism and its socialist themes.
Horowitz has earned numerous awards for his books. He was honored with a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1976 and received the Teach Freedom Award from President Ronald Reagan.
He founded the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, located in Los Angeles, in 1988. It now boasts 20,000 members and publishes four magazines, including Heterodoxy, a monthly magazine that focuses on political correctness and other follies

Dams, Cows, and Vulnerable People: Anthropological Contributions to Sustainable Development
No full textIt is with considerable trepidation that I agreed to address so distinguished a gathering of development economists, theoreticians, and practitioners. I was enormously honoured when Professor Naqvi invited me to make this presentation, and at the same time impressed with my own temerity at having accepted. I am not an economist; at best, I contribute to the emerging discipline of economic anthropology, that subfield of anthropology that some have baptised as the “dismal science of the 20th century.” I locate my research within a subfield of that subfield, in a specifically development anthropology, making the claim that is still received in some quarters with only partial tolerance, that anthropologists–those curious people identified in the popular mind with the recovery and study of isolated people, bones, and potsherds–have also something useful to add to both the theory and praxis of development. As a self-conscious field of inquiry, development anthropology dates only from the last 20-25 years, though its roots can be found in the late 19th century, when scientists working for the United States Bureau of American Ethnology tried to understand the Ghost Dance, a great messianic movement that spread rapidly among subjugated Native Americans who were forced on to reservations by the government and in very large part deprived of the means of social and economic reproduction.
