Political polarization may not be new, but the burgeoning mismatch between the U.S. Constitution and our current nationalized, partisan politics indeed marks an urgent crisis. BESI is proud to co-sponsor this book panel on Berkeley Political Science professors Paul Pierson and Eric Schickler’s Partisan Nation: The Dangerous New Logic of American Politics in a Nationalized Era. The authors will be joined in conversation by Francis Fukuyama, the Olivier Nomellini Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI) and a faculty member of FSI’s Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law (CDDRL), and Didi Kuo, a Center Fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI) at Stanford University. Mark Danner, Professor at the UC Berkeley School of Journalism, will moderate. The event is hosted by Social Science Matrix.
