Introduction: About This Special Issue (The Continuing Transformation of Southern Politics)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This special issue of The American Review of Politics consists of five papers presented at the 2002 Citadel Symposium on Southern Politics, the thirteenth such conference held in Charleston since 1978. The Symposium, codirected by Robert P. Steed, Laurence W. Moreland, and John C. Kuzenski (all of the political science faculty of The Citadel), has become a vital part of the network of scholars who research, write, and publish in the area of southern politics. Over forty papers were presented and discussed at the 2002 Symposium, and they represented a broad range of topics. Special features of the Symposium included a retrospective look at The Transformation of Southern Politics (published a little more than a quarter century ago), conducted by that important volume’s authors, Jack Bass and Walter DeVries, as well as a luncheon address by Merle Black (Asa G. Candler Professor of Politics at Emory University), who discussed “The Rise of Southern Republicans,” drawing on the recently published volume of the same title coauthored by Merle and his brother Earl Black.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
