National Power As A Critical Terrorist Target Choice: A Dataset On The Activities Of The Jamaaahl Al-Sunnah Li-Da’Wawa Al-Jihad (Boko Haram) Sect In Nigeria (2009-2012), Henry U. Ufomba

henry u ufomba

Should we consider a terrorist group as a rational player in its interaction with the state? If yes, does this give room for a rational expectation in its target choice? Situated within these questions, this dataset present the activities of the terrorist group JamaaAhl al-Sunnah li-da’wawa al-Jihad popularly known as the Boko Haram sect in Nigeria between 2009 to 2012. The key objective of the dataset is to match each of Boko Haram’s target type with the primary assumption of the Uyo School in other to aid future empirical study on the subject to determine its robustness.

A Crise Social Induzida, Eliel Matias Da Rosa

Eliel Matias da Rosa

No abrir das cortinas do Século XXI, eis que o homem se depara frente a um triste cenário: A crise humana. Antes de tudo, de falarmos em crise financeira, crise ambiental, crise religiosa, etc, há de se falar em crise do homem, pois é o homem, sem sombra de dúvidas, o idealizador ou o principal agente responsável pela decadência de tais elementos sociais.

Hirdyesh Kumar Singh

Digital libraries have become of increasing significance in recent years, developing in functionality and content, and becoming accessible to a wider community of users.

Pre Candidaturas, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

La pre-campaña electoral para elegir autoridades locales y provinciales empieza a cerrarse, debido a la inevitabilidad del calendario propuesto por el CNE: la convocatoria a elecciones se realizará el día 17 de octubre próximo, para lo cual deberían haberse seleccionado las candidaturas dentro de los operadores políticos.

Esta calendarización ha conducido a un movimiento político muy fuerte en un doble sentido: por un lado, a la definición de nuevas reglas de juego que se impulsan desde las elecciones de febrero pasado mediante la aprobación del Código de la Democracia, la aplicación de la Ley D’hont y el diseño de los …

La Violencia Es Estructural, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

“Ya No se puede decir que se trata de hechos casuales, fortuitos, o producidos por infiltrados dentro de las barras. Se trata de un problema estructural del fútbol ecuatoriano, que no se puede asumir con medidas paliativas de tipo reactivo que es lo que se ha hecho hasta ahora.

 El país no tiene una política para enfrentar el problema estructuralmente. Da la impresión de que si se deja pasar mucho tiempo, se consolidará la tendencia de crecimiento de la violencia.

 Algo interesante es que esta violencia casi no se desata dentro de los estadios, porque allí se ha logrado control …

Table Annexed To Article: Hamilton And Madison Deploy ‘Constitution’ In The Federalist Papers: Semantic Values Surveyed, Peter Aschenbrenner

Peter J. Aschenbrenner

The eighty-five Federal Papers (authors James Madison and Alexander Hamilton; John Jay contributed five) are justifiably famous as elaborations of constitutional structure and text, sans citation to the convention, understandably, since secrecy imposed by Standing Order on May 28th was continued indefinitely (at the pleasure/non-action of Congress) on September 17th. Counts on semantic value/s of ‘constitution’ and ‘constitutional’ are surveyed.

How Do You Persuade Someone You Do Not Know?, H.C. Yi

Hyun Chang Yi

We examine the potential for communication via cheap talk between an expert and a decision maker whose type (or preferences) is uncertain. The expert privately observes multiple aspects of an issue and persuades the decision maker to choose an action in his favour by informing the decision maker about the issue. The decision maker privately observes her type and chooses an action. The optimal action for the decision maker depends upon her type and the state of the issue. We find that, in one-way cheap talk games where only the expert talks, the expert can always inform the decision maker …

A Smooth Transition Sem Approach To Measure Contagion In International Markets\, Anjeza Kadilli, Jaya Krishnakumar

Anjeza Kadilli

There is extensive empirical evidence that market linkages strengthen during crises. Understanding market contagion can be of great importance for policy and portfolio diversification decisions, especially during the recent turmoil periods. The aim of this paper is to investigate in an asset-pricing perspective the cross-asset and the cross-country contagion in the sovereign Credit Default Swap market and in the banking sector for the euro area, U.S., U.K. and Switzerland. Based on the nonlinear Simultaneous Equation Model of Pesaran and Pick (2007) we formulate a more flexible setting in which the contagion effect is transmitted in a smooth manner. Our model …
