Overview
Scholars associated with the "UCLA School" of political parties have argued that parties are best seen as networks or long coalitions of intense policy demanders. If they are right, what does this entail for diagnosing problems and identifying potentially helpful systemic reforms in American politics and government? This grant will support a conference of researchers prominent in this school of thought as well as leading scholars working outside of it to present and discuss different answers to this question.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Center for Global Sustainability
The Center for Global Sustainability at the University of Maryland seeks to change the way governments, businesses, and people envision and implement possibilities for ambitious climate action. This project will provide analysis, ideas, and technical input to inform if and where collaboration on climate change is possible between the world’s two largest emitters: the U.S. and China. (Substrategy: China National Policy)
for strategies to support a rapid energy transition in Germany
The Center for Global Sustainability (CGS) at the University of Maryland will explore feasible, low-cost pathways for Germany to safely transition away from its current energy approach in the near term — specifically, for the upcoming winter season and in three to five years — and to support the nation in avoiding poor investment decisions that lock Germany into a fossil-dependent path incompatible with a global 1.5 Celsius trajectory. (Substrategy: Electrification)
for the China program and other key countries
To support University of Maryland’s effort in facilitating the implementation of the U.S.-China Joint Glasgow Declaration on Enhancing Climate Action, and related strategies in the emerging economies. It focuses on accelerating coal consumption reduction, methane analysis and action pathways, deforestation reduction in supply chain and material flows, industry decarbonization and programmatic support for the US government engagement and collaborative analysis in other key countries.
