The Department of History & Politics at Drexel University invites applications for up to two full-time, tenure-track positions in Political Science, beginning Fall 2012. The Department will consider applications at both the Assistant Professor and Associate Professor rank. These positions mark the beginning of an expansion of the research potential of the Department of History & Politics While the particular sub-field is open, we are primarily interested in candidates who can add to our existing strengths in one of the following research areas: Law & Society; International Law and Organizations; Science and Technology; and Public Policy. A candidate situated in one of these research areas with expertise in China will be viewed more favorably. The History & Politics Department is especially interested in qualified candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community. Candidates will also be expected to contribute to the Department’s current and future undergraduate and graduate curricula.
Review of applications will begin October 1, 2011.
Most people support the state under which they live and accept it's laws and policies. Social contract theory states that the state order is justified and is politically legitimate and people obey the laws not because they are afraid of punishment, but also because they feel morally obliged to do so and in fact it is in every individual's interest to obey the law. So political legitimacy is not really concerned with formal legitimacy. It provides the “invisible bonds” of political society and holds it together, even if the society consists of different individuals with different interests.
