Best Paper Award, and Keynote Speech 09 The 9th Annual Graduate Conference in Political Science, International Relations and Public Policy WORKSHOP 13: Experimental Methods Dr. Raanan Sulitzeanu-Kenan Hebrew University of Jerusalem How can experimental methods improve our study of political questions? This workshop is intended to offer an introduction to experimental methods, and present various types of experiments available for political and social researchers. We will begin by understanding the general defining characteristics of an experimental design. Next, we will discuss the different types of experimental designs available; these include laboratory, survey-embedded, field, and natural experiments. The discussion will address the general characteristics, strengths and weakness, and substantive social science examples of each type of these experimental designs. The workshop is intended for graduate and recent PhDs interested in political and social science, broadly defined. The number of places is limited. Participants are encouraged to present their work in order to receive feedback and advice concerning publication in a major journal. The syllabus and further details relating to the workshop will be posted on the conference website. ______________ Leader ______________ Raanan Sulitzeanu-Kenan is a senior lecturer of Political Science and Public Policy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He completed his PhD at Oxford University in 2006. His research focuses on cognitive aspects of political decisions and behavior of both citizens and elites (elected officials and judges). His current research projects address the role of reputation in institutional cooperation, the role of (perceived) power in shaping policy preferences; the nature of effectiveness judgments, and legal proportionality in public policy. He has published in the British Journal of Political Science, Governance, Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, Journal of Empirical Legal Studies, Public Administration, and Administration & Society. 21 The 9th Annual Graduate Conference in Political Science, International Relations and Public Policy WORKSHOP 14: Field Experiments in the Social Science Prof. Guy Stecklov Hebrew University of Jerusalem Experiments, particularly field experiments, have entered into many social science disciplines relatively recently and their utilization remains very uneven and limited. Yet, experiments are becoming increasingly available and offer unique opportunities for social scientists to study important behavioral and methodological questions. This workshop is focused on presenting the use of field experiments and showing how they can be used. We will examine both the design of such experiments as well as the methodologies that can be usefully applied to analyze their results. ______________ Leader ______________ Guy Stecklov is a demographer and the chair of the department of sociology and anthropology at Hebrew University. He works on various questions linking population change and resources constraints in developing countries. In recent years his work has shifted towards the use of various types of experimental designs to examine these questions. He is increasingly involved in planning and carrying out field experiments using sample surveys as a social laboratory. In this context, he is focused on learning how various dimensions of social interaction between individuals can be altered under different conditions and how data quality might be improved. This work has both substantive and methodological implications. 20 The 9th Annual Graduate Conference in Political Science, International Relations and Public Policy WORKSHOP 15: Social Network Analysis Prof. Ilan Talmud University of Haifa Network theory aims at explaining social phenomena in a wide variety of disciplines from sociology, anthropology, psychology, political science, international relations, geography, and economics. The construction of the theory in formal terms enables researchers to come up with uniquely deductive methodology. This continuous development has significantly enriched social sciences in areas of inquiries as diverse as: social support, health, and well-being; community social capital and civic engagement; the structural analysis of markets in economic sociology; policy networks; and internet studies. This workshop provides an overview of the use of social network analysis, and coming up with an analytical summary of the basic assumptions, concepts, goals, and explanatory mechanisms prevalent in the field. Modes of data gathering and sampling will be discussed as well. The workshop will also demonstrate methodological problems of whole network analysis and ego network analysis, and the ways in which the field is moving from static, cross-sectional design into dynamic design, capturing the co-evolution of networks and behavior. ______________ Leader ______________ Ilan Talmud (Ph.D., Columbia University) is Head of Economic Sociology and Chair of Graduate Studies at the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, University of Haifa. His main interests include network models of social structure, implemented in diverse areas such as: Internet and society, economic sociology, social capital and knowledge management, political sociology, international relations, and gender and social stratification. He conducts extensive studies (with Gustavo Mesch) on Internet and social networks, adolescents and Internet, inter-organizational relations, the impact of online and off-line social networks on place attachment and political involvement, on relational patterns among venture capital funds in Israel. 22 The 9th Annual Graduate Conference in Political Science, International Relations and Public Policy WORKSHOP 16: Text & Data Mining: Using Computers' Abilities to Find and Analyze Data Mr. Zvi Ben-Ami Hebrew University of Jerusalem The focus of this workshop is on methods and tools for obtaining, processing and analyzing digital data.

Based on facet theory it has been widely used in psychology. Recently this method also has diffused to other scientific disciplines. In political analysis it can be useful for the mapping and scaling of institutional and relational structures, and in particular for creation of indicators based on advanced data reduction strategies. The focus of this workshop is on research strategies and tools for using this method in political analysis. The first part of the workshop will be devoted to introducing general terms, basic assumptions, concepts, goals, and various applications in the field. The second part of the workshop concentrates on specific software tools for analysis and visualization in partial order scaling. ______________ Leader ______________ Volker Schneider is the Chair of Empirical Theory of the State at the University of Konstanz. He received his Ph.D. in political and social sciences: European University Institute, Florence, Italy. He served as a research fellow at the Max-Planck-Institute for the Study of Societies, Cologne, and as a visiting fellow at the Center for European Studies of Harvard University and the Annenberg School of Communications of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles.

He also served as the Dean of the Faculty of Administrative Sciences of the University of Konstanz and as the Head of the Department of Political and Administrative Sciences, University of Konstanz. His research interest is focused on theory of the state, organizational studies, evolution of political institutions and network analysis. 24 The 9th Annual Graduate Conference in Political Science, International Relations and Public Policy WORKSHOP 18: Discourse Network Analysis Heike Brugger University of Konstanz Although political processes are strongly influenced by discourses at various levels (political, public, scientific, etc.), policy analysis has not yet covered this research area with sufficient detail and precision. Discourse Network Analysis aims to fill this gap. It is an approach which combines social network analysis with content analysis, and allows the systematic identification of discourse structures in a variety of textual documents. The importance of specific arguments in a debate can be identified as well as central actors within a discourse. Furthermore the Discourse Network Analysis allows discovering discourse coalitions, based on the similarity of statements and arguments. The first part of the workshop will be devoted to the question of how discourses can matter within political processes and gives an overview of current discourse network research. In the second part of the workshop participants will get a practical introduction into the software Discourse Network Analyzer (DNA), as well as a basic introduction to the software visone, which is a great tool to visualize the ascertained networks. By the end of the workshop the participants will be able to analyze and visualize their own basic discourse networks. ______________ Leader ______________ Heike Brugger is a doctoral student at the Department of Politics and Public Administration at the University of Konstanz (Germany). In her current research she is focusing on the theory of Policy Network Analysis and advancements of the application of Discourse Network Analysis. She is part of the lecturer team of the Autumn School “Polnet - Network Analysis for Political Science and Public Administration” at the University of Konstanz and teaches an introductory MA-course on network analysis at the Zeppelin University (Germany). 25 The 9th Annual Graduate Conference in Political Science, International Relations and Public Policy Academic Conveners Prof. David Levi-Faur, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Dr. Galia Press-Barnathan, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem Conference team: Mr. Chanoch Wolpe (Conference Administrator) Ms. Hila Bar-Ner (Conference Assistant) Ms. Ronit Sebty (Conference Assistant) Mr. Shaked Bareket (Social Events) Conference website address: http://gradcon.huji.ac.il Conference e-mail: gradconf@mscc.huji.ac.il We would like to thank the following departments and institutes at the Hebrew University for their generous support: The Leonard Davis Institute for International Relations The Levi Eshkol Institute for Social, Economic and Political Research The Federmann School of Public Policy & Government The DAAD Center for German Studies The Department of International Relations The Department of Political Science The University International Conferences Committee A special thank you goes to our workshop leaders and guests from Israel and overseas.
