The Ideational Approach to Populism, Volume II
This book provides a series of specific predictions about the distinct impact of populist ideas. In this sequel to the first volume, the ideational approach to populism is extended, providing a robust theoretical framework for understanding populism’s consequences and for identifying policies that mitigate its most negative effects. It reaffirms that ideas matter, arguing that an ideational definition of populism leads to more accurate, and sometimes surprising predictions about the impact of populism at multiple levels of analysis. The chapters of this edited volume explore the effect of populist ideas in each of four areas: consequences for state-level institutions, voters, and international relations; and mitigation. The ideational approach encourages us instead to invest in more systematic engagement with populists and pay better attention to our communication skills. It will be of interest to students and scholars of politics, international relations, social psychology, and political communication.
Changing Their Minds?
Despite popular perceptions, presidents rarely succeed in persuading either the public or members of Congress to change their minds and move from opposition to particular policies to support of them. As a result, the White House is not able to alter the political landscape and create opportunities for change. Instead, successful presidents recognize and skillfully exploit the opportunities already found in their political environments. If they fail to understand their strategic positions, they are likely to overreach and experience political disaster. Donald Trump has been a distinctive president, and his arrival in the Oval Office brought new questions. Could someone with his decades of exp...
Building Personality-Driven Language Models
This book provides an innovative exploration into the realm of artificial intelligence (AI) by developing personalities for large language models (LLMs) using psychological principles. Aimed at making AI interactions feel more human-like, the book guides you through the process of applying psychological assessments to AIs, enabling them to exhibit traits such as extraversion, openness, and emotional stability. Perfect for developers, researchers, and entrepreneurs, this work merges psychology, philosophy, business, and cutting-edge computing to enhance how AIs understand and engage with humans across various industries like gaming and healthcare. The book not only unpacks the theoretical aspects of these advancements but also equips you with practical coding exercises and Python code examples, helping you create AI systems that are both innovative and relatable. Whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding of AI personalities or integrate them into commercial applications, this book offers the tools and insights needed to pioneer this exciting frontier.
Divergent Democracy
"The United States has the most programmatic party system in the world: it has, that is, parties that compete with each other on the basis of differing policy positions. While this may seem obvious today, in our world where Republicans and Democrats seem to hold opposite opinions on every conceivable policy, this was not always the case. When the parties began competing with each other in 1856, they ran on a system of clientelism (the provision of material of support or jobs in exchange for political support). While this change has largely been conflated with rising polarization, Krimmel aims in this book to untangle programmaticism from polarization and shed new light on major changes in Am...
