Sociodemographic factors and mental health in health care professionals and patients during Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic worsened mental health. This study aimed to: (1) measure the prevalence of loneliness, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation or behavior, and stress in primary care patients, and physicians, healthcare providers, and healthcare staff; and (2) measure the association of socio-demographic and employment characteristics with mental health measures. A cross-sectional survey measured the prevalence of mental health outcomes in h…
Using Imperfect Longitudinal Social Science Data for Sound Protected Area Management and Governance
Information about the intensity, direction and degree of change of park users' perceptions of protected areas (PAs) over time offers insights about their relevance to those visitors and can inform elements of good governance and management. The resident surveys data collected in 1992, 1998, 2005 and 2017 by Regional Parks of the Capital Regional District of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, show how imperfect longitudinal social science informa…
Big potential, big risks? Indian capitalism, economic reform and populism in the BJP era
This paper reviews India’s aggregate economic performance under the Modi/BJP/NDA administration through the prism of political economy. It argues that the inheritance of the UPA period was a combination of an unfolding “oligarchic capitalism” and a half-baked social democratic project. While the 2014 election victory was formally on a platform of “Minimum government, maximum governance” it always had deep ambiguities between a pro-business, pro-r…
Public Support for Land Acquisition
While it is recognized that protected areas are important for biodiversity conservation and human wellbeing, governments struggle to establish and/or enlarge protected areas. Land acquisition and the challenges encountered by governing institutions in funding protected area systems expansion is discussed in this paper using the Capital Regional District (CRD) Land Acquisition Fund as a case study. We briefly discuss land acquisition in British Co…
From Proof of Concept to Scalable Policies
The promise of randomized controlled trials is that evidence gathered through the evaluation of a specific program helps us-possibly after several rounds of fine-tuning and multiple replications in different contexts-to inform policy. However, critics have pointed out that a potential constraint in this agenda is that results from small "proof-of-concept" studies run by nongovernment organizations may not apply to policies that can be implemented…
Political Leadership and the Urban Poor
Based on survey research and ethnographic interviews, we analyze struggles over housing and access to infrastructure in two low-income "unplanned settlements" in the National Capital Region of Delhi, India. We argue that political leadership in these two different areas cannot be regarded as a simple extension of traditional forms of authority from the village to the city. Rather, the local leaders emerge in the process of learning how to engage …
Capitalism, the State, and the Underlying Drivers of Human Development
What are the underlying drivers of human development? This essay argues that long-term human development, in incomes, social conditions, security and so on, is fundamentally driven by capitalist dynamics and state functioning. The big issue is not state versus market, or growth versus equity, or dynamism versus security. It is the jointly determined functioning of both capitalism and the state. It is in particular a consequence of the extent to w…
The Political Economy of India's Malnutrition Puzzle
Child malnutrition in India is shockingly high and is falling unusually slowly in a period of large gains in aggregate prosperity. Yet technical solutions to malnutrition are known. This article suggests the disjunction is a consequence of institutional features of India, in which rent-creation and rent-sharing in an unequal society are central. Economic reforms partially altered relations between the state and business, helping spur growth, but …
La culture a un impact sur la pauvreté ; mais pas à cause d'une culture de la pauvreté
Le concept de « culture de la pauvreté » est inapproprié et potentiellement dangereux. En revanche, on peut défendre l’utilité de la notion de « trappes à inégalité » qui sont donc des équilibres qui s’auto-renforcent pour soutenir la position relative de certains groupes selon la distribution des pouvoirs, richesses, statuts sociaux. Ces équilibres sont aussi multiples et sont entretenus soit par des comportements rationnels résultant d’une info…
The Cambridge Companion to Greek and Roman Theatre
This series of essays by prominent academics and practitioners investigates in detail the history of performance in the classical Greek and Roman world. Beginning with the earliest examples of 'dramatic' presentation in the epic cycles and reaching through to the latter days of the Roman Empire and beyond, this 2007 Companion covers many aspects of these broad presentational societies. Dramatic performances that are text-based form only one part …

Inequality Of Opportunity And Economic Development
"Just as equality of opportunity becomes an increasingly prominent concept in normative economics, the authors argue that it is also a relevant concept for positive models of the links between distribution and aggregate efficiency. Persuasive microeconomic evidence suggests that inequalities in wealth, power, and status have efficiency costs. These variables capture different aspects of people's opportunity sets, for which observed income may be …

Culture and Public Action
The anthropologists and economists in this volume contend that culture is central to development, and that cultural processes are neither inherently good nor bad and never static. Rather, they are contested and evolving, and can be a source of profound social and economic transformation through their influence on aspirations and collections action : yet they can also be exploitative, exclusionary, and can lead to inequality." "This book will be o…
Inequality in Latin America
With the exception of Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean has been one of the regions of the world with the greatest inequality. This report explores why the region suffers from such persistent inequality, identifies how it hampers development, and suggests ways to achieve greater equity in the distribution of wealth, incomes and opportunities. The study draws on data from 20 countries based on household surveys covering 3.6 milli…
Neoliberalism in Latin America
This Research Note looks at the recent Latin American record in economic and social development from the perspective of the effects of "neoliberalism." There are at least two ways in which neoliberalism is commonly used: a narrow usage, that refers to a shift in a subset of policies to a greater reliance on markets; and, a broader usage, that implies a wholesale change in the relationship between the state and society, with a more vigorous embrac…

Are Poverty and Social Goals for the 21st Century Attainable
Summaries The article assesses the prospects for countries attaining two important International Development Goals (IDGs) by the year 2015: halving the proportion of people living in extreme poverty; and reducing by two thirds the death rate for children. On the basis of recent growth experience and predicted GDP growth rates, the picture is mixed. About a half of the developing countries for which data are available are likely to reach the pover…
