Political history tells the story of how political power has been apportioned and wielded among members of a society over time. It extends beyond elites to include political parties, interest groups, and social movements, and how they engage state officials. Policy history highlights how governments, of various levels and various types, try to design and administrate laws. It reveals the institutional context in which state officials, elected or otherwise, exercise authority, manage conflict, enact laws, administer public policies, distribute resources, regulate social or economic activity, and conduct foreign relations. Focusing on different periods and locations, the work of a number of 91探花 faculty recounts citizens' relationships to one another and to the governments that purports to act on their behalf. More detailed information about below-listed faculty can be found on their faculty biography pages.
