Women Empowerment And Panchayati Raj, Rakesh K. Singh
Rakesh K Singh
This report explores the nature and extent of women empowerment in the context of low economic development and participation & performance of women representatives in Gram Panchayats. While investigating the relationship of participation and performance of elected women members and that of gender and social equality with women empowerment in the region, it also analyzes blocks that inhibit women empowerment, need for capacity building trainings for women members, and value addition by parallel village bodies enabling factors.

Smart Growth In Two Contrastive Metropolitan Areas: A Comparison Between Portland And Los Angeles, Hongwei Dong, Pengyu Zhu
Smart Growth In Two Contrastive Metropolitan Areas: A Comparison Between Portland And Los Angeles, Hongwei Dong, Pengyu Zhu
Pengyu Zhu
This study compares urban landscapes in the Portland and Los Angeles metropolitan areas at the neighbourhood level by operationalising six smart growth indices and mapping their spatial distribution patterns and time trends. Analysis results show that the two metropolitan areas have both strengths and weaknesses in different aspects of smart growth. Most neighbourhoods in both regions do not excel in all six smart growth measures: they are at the high ends of some smart growth indices but at the low ends of others. Some smart growth features such as mixed land use and mixed housing are already pervasive in suburban …

English As A Lingua Franca In Higher Education In Malaysia, Azirah Hashim
Azirah Hashim
This paper examines the role of English in higher education in Malaysia within the context of Southeast Asia, ASEAN, and the global challenges the country faces. It surveys the uses, functions of and demand for English in Malaysia and the region. The practices and needs of higher education institutions are contextualized within the progression from secondary education upwards and the history of educational policies. This paper discusses English needs of higher education as set inside multilingual contexts where English functions as the default language. The nature of English in Malaysia and across Southeast Asia is highly diverse and variable and …
Governance And Change In Higher Education: The Debate Between Classical Political Sociology, New Institutionalism And Critical Theories, Imanol Ordorika
Governance And Change In Higher Education: The Debate Between Classical Political Sociology, New Institutionalism And Critical Theories, Imanol Ordorika
Imanol Ordorika
INTRODUCCIÓN. One of the most intense debates about higher education governance and change took place in the twentieth century between the 1970’s and 90’s. METHOD. A systematic examination of the literature on governance in higher education during this period. The core of the works reviewed in this paper, and the analysis of the development of the field is based essentially on literature from the United States. RESULTS. The review shows the gaps and limi- tations of existing theory. It also provides the necessary foundations for the development of new conceptual frameworks that will enhance our understanding of the subject matter: …

Inverting The Corporate Pyramid (Lessons From An Infantryman), Robert Clements
Robert Clements
This presentation outlines a different Mental Model of organizational structures and upends the Corporate Pyramid and balances it on it point. This inverted model places the leaders at the bottom of the pyramid and defines loose roles for each successive layer. The top most layer represents the interface of the organization to its external enviroment. Unlike traditional top down structures, this model seeks to identify that poor implementation of various aspects of job performance can send fault lines up through the organization. The foundational managements perspective is that they support the work force above it and that all levels must …
Ethnic Stratification Amid China’S Economic Transition: Evidence From The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, Xiaogang Wu, Xi Song
Ethnic Stratification Amid China’S Economic Transition: Evidence From The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, Xiaogang Wu, Xi Song
Xiaogang Wu
This paper analyzes a sample from the 2005 mini-census of Xinjiang to examine ethnic stratification in China’s labor markets, with a special focus on how ethnic earnings inequality varies by employment sector. We show that Han and Uyghur Chinese dominated different economic sectors. Excluding those in agriculture, Uyghurs were more likely to work in government or institutions than either Han locals or migrants, and also more likely to become self-employed. The Han–Uyghur earnings gap was negligible within government/public institutions, but increased with the marketization of the employment sector. It was the largest among the self-employed, followed by employees in private …
Gender And Divorce In Contemporary Singapore, Shirley Hsiao-Li Sun
Gender And Divorce In Contemporary Singapore, Shirley Hsiao-Li Sun
Shirley Hsiao-Li SUN
How do individuals perceive and experience divorce in a self-proclaimed Confucian state, but with a legal system based on the English common law system? Moreover, are there differences in the experiences between divorced women with professional careers and divorced men whose ex-wives are professional women? This paper attempts to address these questions in the context of Singapore, a city-state in Southeast Asia, where more than 70% of the citizenry is Singaporean Chinese. While most existing studies have examined women’s and men’s experiences with divorce separately, we compare and contrast these individuals’ experiences in the same cultural and legal context. We …

En Busca De Sentido Para El Proceso Iberoamericano. Entre El Ocaso Y La Reforma, Günther Maihold
En Busca De Sentido Para El Proceso Iberoamericano. Entre El Ocaso Y La Reforma, Günther Maihold
Günther Maihold
El proceso iberoamericano se encuentra en una situación precaria que se refleja en el absentismo de muchos presidentes latinoamericanos en las últimas cumbres. Más allá de este síndrome formal, lo iberoamericano está profundamente herido por la falta de un proyecto político consistente y su reducción a una identidad cultural. También la competencia con las cumbres eurolatinoamericanas le ha robado al proceso iberoamericano mucho de su atractivo. Sin embargo, el verdadero reto consiste en desespañolizarlo, hacerlo independiente de los vaivenes de la política interna española y generar un fundamento más allá de la delgada base cultural, que no logra sustentar una …
Ius Primae Noctis. Las Instituciones Como Causa De La Riqueza De Las Naciones, Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz
Ius Primae Noctis. Las Instituciones Como Causa De La Riqueza De Las Naciones, Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz
Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz
El secreto mejor guardado por los economistas es su ignorancia sobre la verdadera causa de la riqueza de las naciones. Adam Smith sostuvo que la riqueza de las naciones era resultado de una organización industrial basada en la división del trabajo. Robert Solow afirma que el aumento de la producción es consecuencia de una variable misteriosa y caprichosa llamada "progreso técnico". Algunos economistas, por su parte, afirman que el progreso es consecuencia de una mayor acumulación de capital físico (maquinarias, edificios, vehículos de transporte, etc) y capital humano (aprendiza laboral y educación formal). Sin embargo, estudios recientes demuestran que todos …
U.S. Supreme Court Justices And Public Mood, Isaac Unah
U.S. Supreme Court Justices And Public Mood, Isaac Unah
Isaac Unah
Does public mood influence the decisions of U.S. Supreme Court Justices? Under what conditions might Justices vote against their typical ideological leanings and in favor of public opinion? We employ both quantitative and qualitative methods to address these questions. For the quantitative portion, logistic regression analysis indicates a strong relationship between public mood and Supreme Court Justices’ votes both in the aggregate and for a number of liberal and conservative Justices individually during the 1946 to 2011 Court terms. Justices respond less strongly to public opinion when the Court is highly polarized and when legal issues to be decided are …

Bicentralismo: Quito Y Guayaquil, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.
Fernando Carrión Mena
El día de mañana se cumple una semana de las elecciones “sub nacionales” en el país, que mostraron algunos rasgos distintivos. Lo primero que salta a la vista es que las elecciones diseñadas para elegir los gobiernos sub nacionales se transformó en una elección nacional, debido al “ruido” introducido por un actor político nacional que buscaba generalizar su proyecto en todo el territorio nacional. Allí estuvieron los sellos de la “revolución para todos”, de la “marea verde”, del peso de las prominentes autoridades, del “vota todo, toditito 35” y de las propuestas locales con importante contenido nacional, entre otras. En …

El Regreso A La Ciudad Construida, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.
Fernando Carrión Mena
La relación entre suelo urbano y ciudad es indisoluble; es tan así que durante mucho tiempo se los entendió como si fueran lo mismo. Por eso, originalmente el desarrollo urbano fue concebido como el resultado de los cambios en los usos de suelo propuestos por la planificación urbana. Si bien esta comprensión inicial perdura hasta ahora, no se puede negar la existencia de un avance en la comprensión de la temática urbana, que ha llevado a superar esta visión espacialista caracterizada por la sobredeterminación de lo espacial sobre lo social. Pero también, por aquella antítesis que postula la llamada “teoría …

Participation Apprehensive Students: The Influence Of Face Support And Instructor–Student Rapport On Classroom Participation, Brandi N. Frisby, Erin Berger, Molly Burchett, Emina Herovic, Michael G. Strawser
Michael G Strawser
Participation is considered a positive student classroom behavior that can also create a face-threatening classroom climate that may be alleviated through interpersonal relationships with the instructor. Participants (N = 189) categorized as low apprehensives perceived less face threat and more face support when participating; moderate apprehensives had similar perceptions and communication behaviors to high apprehensives; rapport was negatively related to face threats and participation anxiety, and positively related to face support and participation; and face support was the only significant predictor of students’ participation for low and moderate apprehensives, while instructor communication did not predict participation for highly apprehensive students.

The Unintended Consequences Of Safety Regulation, Sherzod Abdukadirov
The Unintended Consequences Of Safety Regulation, Sherzod Abdukadirov
Sherzod Abdukadirov
This study examines how risk trade-offs undermine safety regulations. Safety regulations often come with unintended consequences in that regulations attempting to reduce risk in one area may increase risks elsewhere. The increases in countervailing risks may even exceed the reduction in targeted risks, leading to a policy that does more harm than good. The unintended consequences could be avoided or their impacts minimized through more careful analysis, including formal risk trade-off analysis, consumer testing, and retrospective analysis. Yet agencies face strong incentives against producing better analysis; increased awareness of risk trade-offs would force agencies to make unpalatable and politically sensitive …
C(R)Ap And Trade: The Brave New World Of Non-Point Source Nutrient Trading And Using Lessons From Greenhouse Gas Markets To Make It Work, Victor B. Flatt
C(R)Ap And Trade: The Brave New World Of Non-Point Source Nutrient Trading And Using Lessons From Greenhouse Gas Markets To Make It Work, Victor B. Flatt
Victor B Flatt
After several decades of improvement, water quality in the United States is getting worse, and the problem is primarily caused by run-off from non-point sources, such as farms and urban development. These non-point sources have never had regulatory mandates in the Clean Water Act, and have proven very difficult to control. With little likelihood of comprehensive statutory changes, the EPA and the states that administer the Clean Water Act have looked to other regulatory means to address this problem. One of the most prominent has been the use of markets in pollution (particularly for nutrient pollution from run-off) to provide …
Towards An Understanding Of Modern Policing Norms: Social Identity, Organization Identity, And Efficient Policing, Billy R. Close, Patrick Leon Mason
Towards An Understanding Of Modern Policing Norms: Social Identity, Organization Identity, And Efficient Policing, Billy R. Close, Patrick Leon Mason
Patrick L. Mason
This study examines the relationship between bureaucratic identity, social identity and policing outcomes. We utilize alternative outcomes tests to examine traffic stop data collected by the Florida Highway Patrol during 2000-2009. This study finds that representation of African American and Hispanic troopers improves outcomes for all groups of drivers, by increasing efficiency in searches. All troopers, regardless of race, engage in fewer searches when they are assigned to racially diverse or minority troops. Importantly, we show that this decrease in search activity simultaneously yields higher hit rates, thereby increasing efficiency. Finally, the data reveal that the greatest change in search …
Behavioral International Law, Tomer Broude
Behavioral International Law, Tomer Broude
Tomer Broude
Economic analysis and rational choice have in the last decade made significant inroads into the study of international law and institutions, relying upon standard assumptions of perfect rationality of states and decision-makers. This approach is inadequate, both empirically and in its tendency towards outdated formulations of political theory. This article presents an alternative behavioral approach that provides new hypotheses addressing problems in international law while introducing empirically grounded concepts of real, observed rationality. First, I address methodological objections to behavioral analysis of international law: the focus of behavioral research on the individual; the empirical foundations of behavioral economics; and behavioral …

Using De Bono’S 6 Thinking Hats For Creative Thinking, Effective Decision Making, Engaged Meetings, And Faster Problem Solving, Linda M. Golian-Lui
Linda M. Golian-Lui
Thinking is like breaking – we take it for granted. We assume that the way we think is the ‘right’ way and that everyone thinks the same way. We involve too much in the thinking process creating a ‘thinking stew’ filled with emotions, ruts, and opinions. De Bono’s six thinking hats is a simple, fun, and effective technique that helps organizations communicate more effectively and stimulates creative problem solving. Come and learn and experience this unique communication tool.
