Also very plugged into the Ostrom/Bloomington school that I imagine appeals to a lot of your poli-sci people. I think all that stuff is great, and I also like Buchanan a lot. What I clash with more is their economics - their Austrian school work. They do interesting stuff, but (1.) it's not something I'd want to study, and (2.) it's something I'd end up disagreeing with my professors on all the time even if I did want to study it. In other words, I don't think George Mason requires a defense - I just think it's not the right fit for me.<br /><br />I'll have to check in with Stratmann - I'm not sure who he is.<br /><br />Where are you in the process? You've gotta be ABD at this point, right? What are you writing about?Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192667997950934790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740670447258719504.post-52332348225369673512010-09-27T18:14:26.688-04:002010-09-27T18:14:26.688-04:00In Mason's defense, in PoliSci we deal with a ...In Mason's defense, in PoliSci we deal with a few of their economists on a routine basis. The person doing the closest to my work is Stratmann, and Cowen's, well, he's always showing up in PS blogs. Buchanan and Tullock were there, and they're what the serious rat choicers in the RDU set cite.<br /><br />Otherwise, good look with the process --- you'll be fine, particularly with some of those schools listed.Jenn Sykeshttp://www.igottamakeone.comnoreply@blogger.com
