Symbolic Closure Through Memory, Reparation And Revenge In Post-Conflict Societies, Brandon Hamber, Richard A. Wilson

Research Papers

Countries going through democratic transition have to address how they will deal with the human rights crimes committed during the authoritarian era. In the context of amnesty for perpetrators, truth commissions have emerged as a standard institution to document the violent past. Increasingly, claims are made that truth commissions have beneficial psychological consequences; that is, that they facilitate 'catharsis', or 'heal the nation', or allow the nation to 'work through' a violent past. This article draws upon trauma counseling experience and anthropological fieldwork among survivors to challenge these claims in the context of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission. …

Using Reasons For Living To Connect To American Indian Healing Traditions, Thomas L. Crofoot Graham

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

Responding to high rates of suicide for American Indian youth, helping professionals often struggle to connect healing traditions from American Indian cultures to tools from European psychology. The differences between American Indian healing and European therapy can be vast. Finding connections or building bridges between these two perspectives may be more difficult than it appears (Duran & Duran, 1995). One method to bring together these worldviews is to use the Reasons for Living Questionnaire (RFL, Linehan, Goldstein, Nielsen, & Chiles, 1983); the Reasons for Living Inventory for Adolescents (RFL-A, Osman, Downs, Kopper, Barios, Besett, Linehan, Baker, & Osman, 1998), or …

Race, Welfare Reform, And Nonprofit Organizations, Michael Reisch, David Sommerfeld

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

This article presents research on the impact of welfare reform on 90 nonprofit organizations in Southeast Michigan. Utilizing a refined survey instrument, in-depth interviews and focus groups with agency executives and staff, and the analysis of agency documents, it assesses how the racial characteristics of agencies' client populations affected the organizational consequences of welfare reform. The study confirmed that welfare reform has affected the ability of nonprofit organizations to meet the increased expectations generated by recent legislation. These effects have been particularly pronounced among agencies serving a high proportion of racial minority clients.

中國大陸加入 Wto 後政府職能之變遷 : 調適與挑戰, 陳德昇

CAPS Working Paper Series

中國大陸已於2001年12月1日成為「世界貿易組織」(World Trade Organization) 正式會員國。雖然大陸加入此一號稱「經濟聯合國」的經濟組織眾所關心的議題主要是對大陸產業的街擊，國有企業的生存競爭挑戰，以及失業的惡化，但事實上政府體制與職能的變遷與調控，更是值得重視的課題。換言之，加入世貿組織對應的主體首先是政府，其次才是企業。此外，大陸政府職能調過良好與否，亦將攸關大陸經濟市場化發展，以及政經體制變革之進程，其發展動向值得關注。

針對政府職能調整議題，本文由體制面、行為百與法制面分析與觀察：中國大陸加入WTO後政府職能調整與變遷趨勢，並評估其政府職能轉變較易實現之目標與較困難改變之處，以及WTO 規範「應然」(what ought to be) 面與大陸實際發展之「寶然」(what is) 面之落差與影響。最後將提出台商因應之道及大陸政府職能轉變與政經結構調整之展望。

Bertrand Competition Under Uncertainty, Eric Bennett Rasmusen, Maarten Janssen

Eric Bennett Rasmusen

Consider a Bertrand model in which each firm may be inactive with a known probability, so the number of active firms is uncertain. This simple model has a mixed-strategy equilibrium in which industry profits are positive and decline with the number of firms, the same features which make the Cournot model attractive. Unlike in a Cournot model with similar incomplete information, Bertrand profits always increase in the probability other firms are inactive. Profits do decline more sharply than in the Cournot model, and the pattern is similar to that found by Bresnahan & Reiss (1991).

Mothers In The Media: Blamed And Celebrated -- An Examination Of Drug Abuse And Multiple Births., Sonya Charles, Tricha Shivas

Philosophy and Religious Studies Department Faculty Publications

The media has always had a profound interest in mothers and birth stories. This study examined the difference between media portrayal of 'good' mothers and 'bad' mothers. Did the media cover potential harm to fetuses and would-be children in the same way for two groups of mothers: (a) pregnant women addicted to illicit drugs and (b) women who chose to continue a high-order, multiple birth pregnancy? Two searches were conducted on Lexis-Nexis, one with keywords 'McCaughey and birth' and another with the keywords 'pregnancy and illegal drugs.' A total of 210 articles were coded for the McCaughey search, and 90 …
