  • Does Reform Prevent Rebellion? Evidence From Russia's Emancipation of the Serfs

    Open AccessEvgeny Finkel, Scott Gehlbach et al.ARTICLEComparative Political Studies2015Cited by: 26References: 24

    Contemporary models of political economy suggest that reforms intended to reduce grievances should curtail unrest, a perspective at odds with many traditional accounts of reform and rebellion. We explore the impact of reform on rebellion with a new data set on peasant disturbances in 19th-century Russia. Using a difference-in-differences design that exploits the timing of various peasant reforms, we document a large increase in disturbances among…

  • Real Social Science: Applied Phronesis

    Open AccessF Schram, A W Frank et al.BOOKReal Social Science2012

    Real Social Science presents a new, hands-on approach to social inquiry. The theoretical and methodological ideas behind the book, inspired by Aristotelian phronesis, represent an original perspective within the social sciences, and this volume gives readers for the first time a set of studies exemplifying what applied phronesis looks like in practice. The reflexive analysis of values and power gives new meaning to the impact of research on polic…

An emerging literature highlights the tension between the forward-looking economic goals of growth, development, and investment and backward-looking trials and truth commissions. Current research focuses on the impact transitional justice choices may have on a state's ability to compete for international assis…

  • The Justice Balance: When Transitional Justice Improves Human Rights and Democracy

    Thorkil Damsgaard Olsen, Tricia D Olsen et al.ARTICLEHuman Rights Quarterly2010

    Evidence from the Transitional Justice Data Base reveals which transitional justice mechanisms and combinations of mechanisms positively or negatively affect human rights and democracy. This article demonstrates that specific combinations of mechanisms—trials and amnesties; and trials, amnesties, and truth commissions—generate improvements in those two political goals. The findings support a justice balance approach to transitional justice: trial…

    Open AccessErika Franklin Fowler, Matthew L Hale et al.ARTICLEThe International Journal of…2009Cited by: 2References: 18

    Congressional mandates, federal regulatory policy, local broadcasters, and democratic ideals agree that local media should present local news in a way that adequately represents (and ideally unifies) local communities. But how do local broadcasters determine the composition of their local community? And is their portrayal of the community consistent with the ideals of representative democracy? Through one of the first systematic examinations of S…
