DESCRIPTION:The historical origin of tolerance\n \nIsabela Mares\, Yale Un
 iversity\nAhmed Mohammed\, Columbia University\n \nThis paper analyzes the
  long-term historical consequences of religious conflict that occurred dur
 ing the period between the Augsburg Treaty (1555) and the Westphalian Peac
 e (1648). We show that religiously divided communities that experienced th
 e Catholic counter-reformation faced relatively stronger demand for legal 
 mechanisms of conflict resolution and developed distinct institutions of i
 nter-religious mediation. Using fine-grained evidence from over 2000 local
 ities of the Holy Roman Empire\, we demonstrate that the creation of these
  institutions and the legalization of the religious conflict has a persist
 ent effect to the present: citizens in localities that experienced the Cat
 holic counter-reformation have a higher level of trust in political and le
 gal institutions today\, exhibit higher levels of tolerance and display lo
 wer levels of violence against migrants. \n\nInterested participants are e
 ncouraged to RSVP by emailing Alexander Kuo alexander.kuo@chch.ox.ac.uk wi

SUMMARY:Democratization after Democratization: how first wave democracies 
 ended electoral corruption - Isabela Mares (Yale)

DESCRIPTION:Between 1850 and 1918\, many first wave democracies adopted el
 ectoral reforms that reduced the incidence of various forms of electoral m
 alfeasance. These reforms imposed harsher punishments for bribing or the p
 oliticization of state resources during campaigns. They improved electoral
  secrecy\, providing a better protection of voters’ autonomy. By mandati
 ng the presence of candidate representatives supervising electoral operati
 ons\, reforms adopted at this time also reduced the incidence of electoral
  fraud. Drawing on analysis of parliamentary deliberations and roll call v
 otes in France\, Germany\, Belgium and the United Kingdom\, I examine the 
 adoption of these reforms in first-wave democracies. I document how elite 
 splits modified the calculations about the desirability of the status quo 
 among legislators who could access resources to produce various forms of m
 alfeasance\, facilitating the formation of parliamentary majorities in sup
 port of electoral reforms.  \n\nDiscussant: Marcin Walecki (Oxford)\nSpeak
