The University of Maine Alumni Association and the UMaine Department of Political Science will co-host a virtual roundtable discussion with political scientists and policy experts exploring the makings of effective governing at 3:30 p.m. March 15. The event, âWhat Makes for Good Governance?â honors political science professor Jim Warhola, who retired in 2020 after 37 years at UMaine. The first wave of COVID-19 in spring 2020 made a traditional retirement celebration for Warhola impossible. Invited to reflect on how he would like his career to be commemorated, Warhola turned his attention to the recurring questions that animated his illustrious career: What makes for good governance? How is tyranny recognized and avoided? How does democracy flourish? And how can modern governments get along with each other?
