| Summary/Abstract |
The 2004 elections in Indonesia were incredibly complex logistically, resulted in reshaped representative institutions, and allowed presidential elections by direct vote for the first time. This paper analyses the reform processes that surrounded these elections, including reforms to the representative institutions, and the legislative and presidential elections. The different strategies of the main political personalities are analysed, and the results of the legislative elections, and both the first and second presidential election rounds, are evaluated. The paper demonstrates that the elections hold several important messages for Indonesian politicians regarding electoral expectations, and how these are changing rapidly in the post-Suharto era. Accountability, good governance and social development are among the key factors that are seen to have been important in swaying political votes, rather than traditional voting loyalties.

| Summary/Abstract |
What happens in Afghanistan post 2014 is uncertain. The situation being highly dynamic, it is difficult to make accurate forecasts. Most forecasts are gloomy, and predict political instability, a worsening security situation, a weak economy and violence. However, this pessimistic scenario need not materialise if post 2014 security mechanisms, economic assistance, and a stable political system are put in place. The outcome of the presidential elections on 5th April 2014, the nature of security uncertainties after 2014, and the success or failure of Karzai's efforts at reconciliation with Taliban would influence the situation post 2014.

| Summary/Abstract |
The November 2012 election results revealed and underscored greater changes in American political dynamics than many of us had anticipated. Republicans, who had won the popular vote in four out of the five presidential elections from 1968-1988, have now lost five out of the last six, with 2000 notably featuring a Democratic popular vote win but George W. Bush capturing the Electoral College. Republicans last won 300 or more electoral votes in 1988; Democrats have now exceeded 300 in four of the last six elections, from 1992-2012. Keeping in mind that 270 electoral votes are needed to win, Democrats have now carried 18 states plus the District of Columbia in six consecutive elections, a combination totaling 242 electoral votes-89 percent of the 270 needed to win an election. One can now say that Democrats have a home field advantage in presidential races.

| Summary/Abstract |
Three big trends -- a growing reliance on older voters, an extremist ideological turn, and an increasing internal rigidity -- have changed the Republican Party over the past decade, weakening its ability to win presidential elections and inhibiting its ability to govern.

| Summary/Abstract |
The shifts in the social and demographic descriptions of the suburbs, the growing number of exurbs (commuter-towns with fairly high living standards) and more intensive southward migration are the main factors. The same can be said of the very apparent desire of people with similar social and economic statuses, life styles and political preferences live in neighborhood communities. In this way constituencies are growing politically polarized. Mutual influences inevitable in the uniform social milieus (that have practically no contacts with groups of different ideological and political preferences) push them to extremes far removed from the political middle-of-the-road. Under George W. Bush polarization grew noticeable to the extent that people joked that the Republican and Democratic states could function as independent countries.

| Summary/Abstract |
We do not live in an abstract civil society, but in specific economic, legal, cultural, and ideological conditions, with the state as the foundation. When the state falls apart, chaos follows, however briefly. Any chaos is worse than state order, except for rare cases when the government carries out genocide against its own people.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Democratic ProgressiveParty is rebuilding its support among Taiwan's voters after severe defeats in Taiwan's 2008 Legislative Yuan and presidential elections. The process began earlier this year with grassroots efforts such as rallies, a referendum drive, volunteerism and typhoon relief. The party is now developing new policies to attract independent, middle-class and working-class people hit hardest by the economic recession. The first results emerged on Sept. 26, when voters elected the DPP's Liu Chien-kuo to the Legislative Yuan from Yunlin County and defeated a Kuomintang-backed referendum on casinos in Penghu County.

| Summary/Abstract |
For more than two decades, political scientists have created statistical models aimed at generating out-of-sample predictions of presidential elections. In 2004 and 2008, PS: Political Science and Politics published symposia of the various forecasting models prior to Election Day. This exercise serves to validate models based on accuracy by garnering additional support for those that most accurately foretell the ultimate election outcome. Implicitly, these symposia assert that accurate models best capture the essential contexts and determinants of elections. In part, therefore, this exercise aims to develop the "best" model of the underlying data generating process. Scholars comparatively evaluate their models by setting their predictions against electoral results while also giving some attention to the models' inherent plausibility, parsimony, and beauty.
