Women On And Off Farms, Aneeja Guttikonda Jan 2001

Women On And Off Farms, Aneeja Guttikonda

aneeja guttikonda

Women are an integral force in India's agricultural system, yet their efforts go largely unrecognized. Not only are there a large number of untrained women working on farms, there are also many skilled, educated women in the field of agriculture. Linkages between professional women in the field of agriculture and rural women are needed to ensure real development of India's agricultural economy.


Reimagining Weber: Constructing International Society And The Social Balance Of Power, John M. Hobson, Leonard Seabrooke Jan 2001

Reimagining Weber: Constructing International Society And The Social Balance Of Power, John M. Hobson, Leonard Seabrooke

Leonard Seabrooke

This article ‘reimagines’ Max Weber, who is conventionally thought to be one of realism’s founding fathers. While Weber’s work had various ambiguities and tensions, we suggest that his conception of IR had much in common with liberalism, and especially the English School. Nevertheless, our ‘reimagining’ of Weber augments in a sustained and particular way an area of analysis that has not been consistently or sufficiently developed within the English School; namely an emphasis on the social legitimacy of a particular form of state–society complex that is constitutive of international society. In contrast to Hedley Bull, who viewed sovereignty and diplomacy …


O Estado Como Instituição: Uma Leitura Das Obras Históricas De Marx, Adriano Codato, Renato Perissinotto Jan 2001

O Estado Como Instituição: Uma Leitura Das Obras Históricas De Marx, Adriano Codato, Renato Perissinotto

Adriano Codato

The aim of this paper is to present a reading of the Marxist theory of the state more complex and ambitious than that made by recent neo-institutionalists criticism. Upon reconsideration of the "historical works" of Marx demonstrated that this author has a conception of state which takes into account their internal institutional dynamics without compromising, however, the view of class.

El Catedrático Novohispano: Una Semblanza General, Jesús F. Galaz-Fontes Jan 2001

El Catedrático Novohispano: Una Semblanza General, Jesús F. Galaz-Fontes

Jesús Francisco Galaz Fontes

Luego de contextualizar la "educación superior" que se impartió durante la colonia en la Nueva España, el trabajo describe, con base a la literatura histórica pertinente, diversos aspectos de la "profesión académica" durante ese periodo. Así, se discute la naturaleza del trabajo académico característico de esa época, la forma en que se impartían las clases, la contratación de nuevos profesores y las relaciones entre el profesorado y la burocracia gubernamental y eclesiástica con la que se relacionaban los catedráticos ("académicos") de la Real y Pontifica Universidad de México.

Timbuktu: A Lesson In Underdevelopment, Riccardo Pelizzo Jan 2001

Timbuktu: A Lesson In Underdevelopment, Riccardo Pelizzo

riccardo pelizzo

Th e purpose of the present paper is to investigate Timbuktu’s economic decline in the three centuries elapsed between 1526, when Leo Africanus reached the Mysterious City, and 1830, when the fi rst European explorers arrived in Timbuktu. It is argued that Timbuktu’s decline was neither an accident nor the result of inevitable natural conditions. Timbuktu’s decay was the product of historical and social forces. Specifi cally, it is argued that Timbuktu lost power and prestige because its market decayed. However, it is also suggested that no single factor can account individually for this event. Th e crisis of Timbuktu’s …


Parental Investment And Child Health In A Yanomamö Village Suffering Short Term Food Stress, Hagen H. Edward, Raymond B. Hames, Nathan M. Craig, Matthew T. Lauer, Michael E. Price Jan 2001

Parental Investment And Child Health In A Yanomamö Village Suffering Short Term Food Stress, Hagen H. Edward, Raymond B. Hames, Nathan M. Craig, Matthew T. Lauer, Michael E. Price

Nathan M Craig

The 1998 El Niño significantly reduced garden productivity in the Upper Orinoco region in Venezuela. Consequently, parents were forced to allocate food carefully to their children. Nutrition data collected from village children combined with genealogical data allowed the determination of which children suffered most, and whether the patterns of food distribution accorded with predictions from parental investment theory. For boys, three social variables accounted for over 70% of the variance in subcutaneous fat after controlling for age: number of siblings, age of the mother’s youngest child, and whether the mother was the senior or junior co-wife, or was married monogamously. …


Politywide Analysis And Imperial Political Economy: The Relationship Between Valley Political Complexity And Administrative Centers In The Wari Empire Of The Central Andes, Nathan M. Craig, Justin Jennings Jan 2001

Politywide Analysis And Imperial Political Economy: The Relationship Between Valley Political Complexity And Administrative Centers In The Wari Empire Of The Central Andes, Nathan M. Craig, Justin Jennings

Nathan M Craig

This article tests a model for the political economy of the Wari Empire (AD 600–1000) of Peru. This model divides the empire into core and periphery zones. In the core, Wari political economy was organized to extract surplus agricultural production to feed the capital. In the periphery, the Wari strove to extract prestige goods. We suggest that there is a strong relationship between where the empire chose to locate its centers in the periphery and the political complexity of the local population in which the center was placed. We argue that in areas of low political organization sites should be …


An Exploratory Investigation Of Jealousy In The Family, Krystyna S. Aune, Jamie Comstock Jan 2001

An Exploratory Investigation Of Jealousy In The Family, Krystyna S. Aune, Jamie Comstock

Jayne Marie Comstock

A self-report instrument assessed an incident in which respondents experienced a threat to their relationship with a family member. The nature of the relationship with the family member was explored along with the experience, the emotional responses and coping behaviors, the degree of expression, perceived appropriateness, and the effects on the relationship. Results show that 52% of respondents experienced a jealousy incident in the family. Almost 50% of the incidents involved the respondent's sibling (approximately 30% sisters, 20% brothers), and more than 20% involved the respondent's mother. The perceived appropriateness of, and degree of jealousy experience were significantly greater than …


Managing Diversity: Establishing An Agenda For Organizational Change, Jamie Comstock Jan 2001

Managing Diversity: Establishing An Agenda For Organizational Change, Jamie Comstock

Jayne Marie Comstock

Managing organizational diversity requires managing change. Contemporary organizational leaders must prepare people to adapt to changes in organizational membership and effectively motivate all members of a diverse workforce. However, diversity initiatives are controversial and often met with employee resistance and a backlash of resentment, dissatisfaction, and group polarization. This paper advances a Dialectical Diversity Audit procedure that results in an effective agenda for diversity-related cultural change. The usefulness of the procedure is demonstrated through a Diversity Audit of a mid-sized public university in the southern United States. Using focus group interview techniques and interpretive ethnography, the Diversity Dialectics Audit “gave …

Rights Of Inequality: Rawlsian Justice, Equal Opportunity, And The Status Of The Family, Justin Schwartz Jan 2001

Rights Of Inequality: Rawlsian Justice, Equal Opportunity, And The Status Of The Family, Justin Schwartz

Justin Schwartz

Is the family subject to principles of justice? In A Theory of Justice, John Rawls includes the (monogamous) family along with the market and the government as among the "basic institutions of society" to which principles of justice apply. Justice, he famously insists, is primary in politics as truth is in science: the only excuse for tolerating injustice is that no lesser injustice is possible. The point of the present paper is that Rawls doesn't actually mean this. When it comes to the family, and in particular its impact on fair equal opportunity (the first part of the the Difference …

Distrust Breeds Bureaucracy: Democratization And The Formal Regulation Of Electoral Governance In Mexico, Andreas Schedler Jan 2001

Distrust Breeds Bureaucracy: Democratization And The Formal Regulation Of Electoral Governance In Mexico, Andreas Schedler

Andreas Schedler

In contemporary Mexico, political parties have subject electoral authorities to tight legal regulation. Their reliance on “bureaucratic” control sheds light on a crucial premise of “post-bureaucratic” approaches: deregulation presupposes trust. The article describes the distrust-driven regulation of three areas of electoral governance: record keeping, the identification of voters and ballots, and time rules. It concludes with reflections on the potential costs of bureaucratizing electoral governance.

Investigating The Relevance Of Supply-Side Factors For Export-Oriented Investment, Alberto Behar Jan 2001

Investigating The Relevance Of Supply-Side Factors For Export-Oriented Investment, Alberto Behar

Alberto Behar

It is important to test the relevance of supply conditions — relative to demand or neutral conditions — for export-oriented investment (EOI). If supply-side factors are not more pertinent, costly measures in place to attract EOI to South Africa might have unintended consequences. Test results suggest supply-side variables are more important for foreign export-oriented investment and not more important for domestic export-oriented investment, but severe data constraints force the construction of crude EOI proxies for the tests. These constraints expose the need for better EOI information and research.

Bringing Political Theory To University Governance: The University Of California And The Universidad Nacional Autónoma De México, Brian Pusser, Imanol Ordorika Jan 2001

Bringing Political Theory To University Governance: The University Of California And The Universidad Nacional Autónoma De México, Brian Pusser, Imanol Ordorika

Imanol Ordorika

While important normative work has been produced on various aspects of governance, including trusteeship (Cheit, Holland and Taylor, 1991; Kerr and Gade, 1989), institutional autonomy (Berdahl, 1990), and governance struc- tures (Richardson ct al., 1998) little theoretical inquiry has been devoted to two essential questions of governance: how arc key decisions actually made in the postsecondary sector, and who makes them? In order to advance our unuer- stanuing of higher education governance and policy-making, it is first essential to restore a political theoretical framework to the study of higher cuucation organizations. To that end we begin with an historical review …
