First trained in mathematics, Robert Axelrod shifted to political science to study conflicts of interest. His path-breaking work on the elusive optimal strategy for the famous "Prisoner's Dilemma" problem in Game Theory attracted the collaboration of noted biologist William D. Hamilton in a landmark paper. It was also a central ingredient, much expanded, in his book The Evolution of Cooperation, a classic which has stimulated an international cottage industry under the rubric "Cooperation Theory." Further contributions have involved work on coalitions in electoral politics and papers in international relations, involving both formal theory and such applications as a recent proposal for practical reform of the United Nations Security Council, taking account of the welter of strong conflicts of interest present. Dr. Axelrod is a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences. He has been a professor at the University of Michigan since 1980. In 2014 he was awarded the National Medal of Science. | |

Larry M. Bartels is Professor of Political Science, May Werthan Shayne Chair of Public Policy and Social Science, and Co-director of the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions at Vanderbilt University. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of California in 1983. He started his career at the University of Rochester, then moved to Princeton University as Stuart Professor of Communications and Public Affairs of the Woodrow Wilson School, followed by the Donald E. Stokes Professor of Public and International Affairs.
Larry Bartels is a leading scholar of US politics, having made landmark contributions to the study of public opinion, electoral politics, public policy, and political representation. His recent books include Unequal Democracy: The Political Economy of the New Gilded Age and Democracy for Realists: Why Elections Do Not Produce Responsive Government (with Christopher Achen). Unequal Democracy demonstrates with great care the emergence of a partisan political pattern to the size of the gap between the rich and the poor. Republican presidents have allowed income inequality to expand, while Democratic presidents generally have not. In Democracy for Realists: Why Elections Do Not Produce Responsive Government, Bartels challenges the popular version of democracy that presumes that voting is undertaken by the omnipotent, sovereign citizens. Instead, he argues that voters tend to base their decision-making on partisan loyalties, leaving the current democratic system open to exploitation by powerful, unscrupulous actors.
He has won the Gladys M. Kammerer Award in 2009 and the Warren E. Miller Prize in 2014, both from the American Political Science Association, the David O. Sears Award of the International Society of Political Psychology in 2017, and the Earl Sutherland Prize for Career Achievement in Research from Vanderbilt University in 2017. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences (1995), the American Academy of Political and Social Science (2010), and the National Academy of Sciences (2012). In addition to the above, he is the author of Primaries and the Dynamics of Public Choice (1988) and editor of (with L. Vavreck) Campaign Reform: Insights and Evidence. Larry Bartels was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 2019. | |

Philip Converse was a leading scholar in the field of political behavior for three decades. Having conducted important research on political opinion and electoral behavior, he was central to transforming the descriptive study of government into today's comparative and analytical study of politics. His 1964 article "The Nature of Belief Systems in Mass Publics" held that public opinion tended to be inconsistent across issues, unstable over time and not particularly considerate of ideology. Political Representation in France (1986), his comprehensive work with Roy Pierce, was immediately recognized as a landmark study, winning the 1987 Woodrow Wilson Foundation Book Award. Another work, The American Voter (1960), written with Angus Campbell, made proficient use of data from National Elections Studies, a seminal set of surveys of American public opinion that were carried out at the University of Michigan. Dr. Converse was associated with the University of Michigan since receiving his Ph.D. from that institution in 1958. He served as director of the university's Institute for Social Research and as Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Political Science, among other positions.

Robert Alan Dahl received his Ph.D. from Yale University in 1940 and joined the faculty, teaching for more than 40 years before retiring in 1986 as the Sterling Professor of Political Science and Senior Research Scientist in Sociology. In his work he demonstrated an unusual ability to move between empirical research of a difficult and original type and, on the other hand, theoretical synthesis. His many books include Who Governs?: Democracy and Power in an American City (1961), in which he examined power structures in New Haven, Connecticut; Democracy and Its Critics (1989), in which he observed that modern countries, in lacking full citizen participation and policy control, fail to meet the ideals of a democracy; and How Democratic is the American Constitution? (2002), in which he argued that the United States Constitution is not nearly as democratic as it ought to be. Dr. Dahl was a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, a corresponding member of the British Academy, and a past President of the American Political Science Association. He was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 1960. Robert Dahl died on February 5, 2014, at age 98 in Hamden, Connecticut. | |
