TEHRAN - Peter M. Haas, a professor of Political Science at the University of Massachusetts Amherst says that the crux of the argument about secular and religious states in IR is still seen as the conflict between animating pressures on people:  religious, post religious, secular.

Over the last several years, local newspapers across the U.S. have shuttered, leaving their communities with limited access to information about what’s going on in their hometowns. In tandem with this media consolidation, Americans are becoming more politically polarized. Carolee McGrath sat down with Scott Blinder, Assistant Professor of Political Science at UMass Amherst, to find more about these trends.  

Paul Musgrave, political science comments about Bernie Sanders's foreign policy in VOX. “This really is a departure from traditional foreign policy statements to acknowledge that the troubles with the world political and economic order predate Trump and are far more structural.”
