William Mishler received his Ph.D. from Duke University. Before
moving to Arizona in 1997, he held tenured positions at Duke
University, SUNY Buffalo, and as James F. Byrnes Professor of
Government at the University of South Carolina. He also has
served on two occasions as Director of the Political Science
Program at the National Science Foundation.
A specialist in democratic theory, he teaches and writes extensively on public
opinion, political representation, and the dynamics of popular support for democratic
parties, leaders and regimes. His articles have appears in most of the leading
journals including the American Political Science Review, American Journal of
Political Science, Journal of Politics, British Journal of Political Science,
Comparative Politics, Comparative Political Studies and Legislative Studies Quarterly.
His books include: Influence in Parliament; Political Participation in Canada;
Representative Democracy in the Canadian Provinces; The Resurgence of Conservatism
in Anglo-American Democracies; Controversies in Political Economy; and Democracy
and its Alternatives: Understanding Post-Communist Societies. His most recent
Book, Russia Transformed: Developing Popular Support for a New Regime (Cambridge,
2007) uses 15 years of original survey data from post-communist Russia to explore
the nature, extent, and dynamics of public support for the new regime that has
emerging there and to understand the prospects for the development of a more
authentic Russian democracy. His current research focuses on two distinct problems:
the responsiveness of American political institutions to public opinion, and
the dynamics of popular support for democratizing regimes.
