CSUS POLITICAL SCIENCE INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS
I'm currently the Director of the Political Science Internship Program at Sacramento State. Each Fall, Spring and Summer, students can participate in opportunities for experiential learning through internships in public policy throughout the Sacramento area. In the Spring semester, we host a special session available for students across the CSU system called the Sacramento Semester Program. For more information about these programs, see the links below:
DATASETS
"External Support to Violent and Nonviolent Resistance Groups"
This data collection project is currently on-going and data will be published upon completion of the pilot data set. The data set will provide information on violent and nonviolent civil conflict groups and external support to these groups. The purpose of this data collection is to understand how external actors can influence resistance group strategies, government responses during conflict, and civil conflict outcomes. Additionally, this data set will expand existing research on civil conflict to include the dynamics of nonviolent resistance and nonviolent group behavior. For more information on this data project, please email me: [email protected].
"World Language Data": PI - Zeev Maoz
The World Language Project (WLD) aims to provide detailed information about language use worldwide from 1945 to 2010. It contains data about the number of speakers by language in each of the states in the international system. These numbers are given for every half-decade period (1945, 1950,….,2010). The data records percentages of the state’s population that speak a given language. Some of the languages (as detailed in the Codebook) are divided by mother-tongue vs second or multi-language speakers. More information available here.
