  5. 2005: October 27-29. APSA/ISAC-ISA/ISSS Conference. Paper accepted and delivered, "Self, Society, and Survival: Values and Security Paradigms in an Emergent Global Order." The conference was jointly sponsored by the American Political Science Association section on International Security and Arms Control, and the International Studies Association section on International Security Studies. The paper discusses the need for "adaptive change" brought about by trends in technology and globalization, and made possible through the development of cooperative international strategies for managing political and social change. Without effectively leadership, however, there is a danger that the whole globalization process could destabilize amid ubiquitous, regional political crises. Paper is currently being prepared for review by Foreign Policy Analysis.

  6. 2005: August 24-27. International Studies Association and the World International Studies Committee of the European Consortium for Political Research held its "First Global International Studies Conference" at Bilgi University in Istanbul.

Reports on research begun two years ago with Professors Barry Hughes in Denver, who did a major change to his database to build Hawaii into his global model with data I provided, and Mark Ridgley here in Geography. Paper draft is currently being prepared for review by the Journal of Futures Studies.

  7. 2005: April 15-18. Midwest Political Science Association annual conference, Chicago. Paper accepted for presentation: "Diasporadic Minorities, Terrorism, and Great Powers' National Security Strategies."

Current Research

My current research plan includes working on the following papers, accepted for presentation at the following conferences next year, to be followed by revision and publication.
  1. 2006: March 22-25. International Studies Association Annual Conference, San Diego. With permission of the organizers, two papers have been accepted for presentation:
    • "The 'North-South Divide' and Other Divisive and Distracting Myths"
    • "Technology, Power, Politics, Outer Space, and Ethics: Notes towards a New Paradigm"
    I have also been accepted as a panel discussant.

  2. 2006: April 20-23. Midwest Political Science Association Annual Conference, Chicago. ""Long Term International Security: the International Futures Simulation and Emerging Global Order"

  3. 2006: July 9-14. International Political Science Association XXth World Congress, Fukuoka, Japan. "Framing the Meaning of Democracy: The Globalization of Democratic Development, Viewed through the Paradigms of Political Science, Political Practice, and Political Philosophy"
In my sabbatical year (2004), I began an introduction for a text, Paradigms in the Study of Global Politics, and submitted it to McGraw Hill. However, it was judged too advanced for their market. I also began collaborating in a revision of a book by Barry Hughes, International Futures with a new coauthor, Evan Hillebrand, but circumstances made that difficult to continue. However, both he and his publisher encouraged me to write a companion book putting global modeling and especially his model, into the broader context of globalization as one of the few methodologies that offer real hope of significantly improving decision making in the "global village." I am planning to work on this and hope to have the work published within the next two-three years or so and to rework much of what I have already written towards that end.

Teaching

Undergraduate: A Teaching Innovation for Quality and Productivity

I have gradually expanded the number of students I teach from the usual class size in our department of 35 or so, to 80, using a combination of teaching methods that aim to produce a quality educational experience while at the same time working in a large classroom environment. Presently, the class size is limited to 80 because there are no classrooms larger with moveable chairs so that small discussion groups can be formed.

I have written up my pedagogy and experience as it has evolved in this class has grown. The pedagogical change began a decade ago after I attend a 4-day seminar by Dr. W. Edwards Deming in 1991 on Deming's business management and education philosophy, followed by a one-day educators' seminar by a Deming protegé, and a two day seminar in 1992 by another Deming protegé, Marshall Thurber--all on scholarships by them. I wrote a draft on my experience and initial applications to my classes, "The Deming of a Class", and have since revised it for presentation at the 2nd APSA Teaching and Learning Conference in 2004, and expect to publish it after a bit more revision in Teaching Political Science or a similar journal.

At the graduate level I teach a number of international relations courses on a regular schedule, rotating between

  1. Modeling International Systems (Pols. 635F)--an introduction to models of decision making, national politics, international relations and global systems;
  2. Introduction to International Relations (Pols. 630)--a survey of international relations theory, philosophy, and historical practice;
  3. International Relations Seminar (Pols. 730)--a special topics seminar on international relations (varies from year to year).
Last semester I embarked on a new direction in my teaching to restart an undergraduate course on political leadership that had almost been removed from our curriculum following the retirement of its principal instructor who was not replaced. I followed it this semester with a graduate seminar on political leadership. I am currently working this new focus into my longer term teaching and research plans.

I also occasionally teach Pols. 605C: Simulation Practicum, and as a service to the Department, Pols. 390 Political Inquiry and Analysis (newly reformulated as a "capstone" course).

Community Service Outside of UH

In the State of Hawaii, my primary service outside the University is at a foodbank. It is funded primarily by private donations to the First United Methodist Church of Honolulu and the Hawaii Foodbank, but also from other churches and private donors, most recently this year by a donor who gave $21,459.43 to its operation. I usually volunteer my time at odd hours (mostly during my "off duty" time) for about two labor months a year. This foodbank, one of the largest in the state, gives out 15-20-lb. of groceries every month to about 500 individuals and families who are treated as guests, moving about 1 ton of food per week. Typically, about a third of the guests are there for the first time. Some are elderly, poor, alone and on fixed income. Some are recent Pacific island immigrants. Some are recently released from prison or a rehabilitation center and trying to find a job. Some are mentally ill or physically ill, or both. Some are single mothers with children. This foodbank was recognized by City of Honolulu Mayor Eileen Anderson, by the Hawaii Foodbank which conferred its Safety Net 2000 Award on it, and indirectly by Mayor Jeremy Harris who included my wife Lissi Chadwick (the coordinator and a cofounder of this foodbank 25 years ago) as one of 70 honorees in the 35th Senior Recognition Award, in 2001. An interesting fact about the Hawaii Foodbank itself, from which we get about 98% of what we give out, is that it was started by one of our Political Science Department's graduate students, John White, whom I had the honor of knowing for all too short a while. I am currently developing an internship relationship with these facilities for some of our students interested in it as a "capstone" experience, registering for Pols. 403 "Community Internship."
