Project Title: Types of Knowledge in Democratic Procedures: How Bureaucratic Policymaking Fails Alaska Native Subsistence Fishers
Joseph Warren, University of Alaska Anchorage
Joseph Warren is an assistant professor of political science at the University of Alaska Anchorage. His research concerns the historical development of state institutions, as well as the relationship between state authority and democratic self-government. To study this, his work utilizes a variety of methods, including game theory, survey experiments, and historical analysis. In an ongoing book project, Joseph traces the role of ideas about democracy in the development of the U.S. administrative state. The book then evaluates the contemporary democratic status of administrative agencies through a case study of the predominantly Alaska Native communities of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region of Alaska and their experience with federal administrative policymaking. Joseph’s research also investigates democratic institutions in the context of housing politics.
