Speaking truth to power'? Political scientists’ mediated engagement within the context of democratic backsliding
Illiberal trends around the world have brought about various manifestations of democratic backsliding, against which political scientists (PSs) are uniquely situated to assume public roles to impact such processes. This study aims to disclose how Israeli PSs characterize their roles in the public sphere within the context of perceived democratic backsliding, emphasizing their approach to media presence. Specifically, this study utilizes semi-stru…

Margaret Oliphant Reads Cervantes
Margaret Oliphant Reads Cervantes Edward H. Friedman1 Margaret Oliphant (1828–1897) was born in Scotland. She was a prolific and gifted writer, author of over ninety novels, along with numerous short stories, articles, and critical studies, customarily attributed to “Mrs. Oliphant.” Her first novel, Passages in the Life of Mrs. Margaret Maitland, was published in 1849. Many others followed. Margaret Oliphant married her cousin Francis Wilson Olip…
Democratization: Generalizing the East Asian Experience
Generalizing the achievement of East Asia for democracy and development promises emancipatory observations and projects hidden by Occidentalism. The East Asian experience, in practice as well as in theory, in China as in Japan, is central to the global moment. The democratization of East Asia is best understood as part of a global process. Democratization presupposes a taming and neutralization of the elite's anti-democratic military and security…

Lope de Vega's La dama boba and the Construction of Comedy
The essay seeks to extract from Lope de Vega's La dama boba (1613) what might be labelled the playwright's theory of comedy. The process is thus internal, based not on reigning prescriptions and poetics but rather on the specific ways in which Lope uses language, circumstance, literary precedent, and an expressed interest in pleasing the public as he composes a comic play. La dama boba is overdetermined; it moves in multiple directions and examin…

China’s Ambitions, America’s Interests, Taiwan’s Destiny, and Asia’s Future
For international relations realists, the rise of a world power changes the global distribution of power. By so doing, it redefines national interests and compels governments to rethink old policies that suddenly do not make sense. Given the rise of China, it is not surprising that some American analysts suggest a change in U.S. policy toward Taiwan ending U.S. arms sales. This article weighs the arguments for and against that policy change in th…

Computer-assisted medical diagnosis for rural Sub-Saharan Africa
There is a pressing need to employ information technology for rural healthcare in Sub-Saharan Africa. Computer-assisted diagnostic systems provide an opportunity to help meet the physician shortage in developing countries. A necessary concomitant action to deployment of such technology is the development of appropriate rural healthcare infrastructure. Promising strategies employing computer-assisted diagnostic software have been used successfully…
Enhancing rural healthcare in Rwanda through clinical decision support [News and Notes
Rural healthcare in Sub-Saharan Africa is incredibly short-staffed. Too little attention is devoted to development of primary health-care systems. Better approaches are needed to treat all patients without having to add doctors or expensive equipment. This paper discusses a tested and proven computer-assisted diagnostic system called Early Detection and Prevention System (EDPS), which was developed by Dr. Abraham George of the George Foundation. …

Raising Sheep on Wolf Milk: The Politics and Dangers of Misremembering the Past in China
After Mao died, the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) decided that the CCP’s continued legitimation required a cover‐up of the crimes of the Mao era and a building of patriotic support for the ruling party based on a myth of how it saved the Chinese people from the savagery of imperialism, especially from Japanese invaders. Forgetting how much the Chinese people suffered from the horrors of the CCP’s Great Leap Forward, Mao’s Cultural Revoluti…
Where is Chinese nationalism? The political geography of a moving project
Since the rise of Chinese nationalism at the end of the nineteenth century, different political groups have sought to mobilise regional support by identifying with the national agenda of regional preferences. There have been changing contestations appealing to north, south, center, west and east. By analysing these moving identities, one can escape a misleading homogenisation of actual multi‐strandedness and better understand the nature and poten…

Learning About a Chinese Village in a Leninist-Party Authoritarian State
How does one overcome the institutionalized obstacles to understanding the networks of power in the PRC which reach down in complex ways from the center to the village? There is no reason for villagers who need patrons for access to scarce resources to commit to telling the truth. There is no reason for local officials to commit to telling the truth when careers depend on pleasing higher-ups and not on revealing how patron–client networks work. A…
Reconstructing China's National Identity: A Southern Alternative to Mao-Era Anti-Imperialist Nationalism
By the 1990sit was a commonplace that Mao-era anti-imperialist nationalism in China was dead. The anti-imperialist perspective had pitted an exploitative foreign imperialism against a courageous Chinese people (Hu 1955). This nationalist understanding of Chinese history was encapsulated in the Great Leap Forward-era film on the Opium War,Lin Zexu, which drew a contrast between patriotic Sanliyuan villagers and traitorous ruling groups in the capi…
Chinese nationalism, Taiwan autonomy and the prospects of a larger war
In contrast to the belief that the 1995–1996 Taiwan Straits crisis was caused by the visit of the President of Taiwan to Cornell University, in fact, the post‐Mao ruling groups in Beijing made forcing early reunification with mainland China on Taiwan a top priority soon after assuming power in 1978. This new focus on Taiwan's reunification reflects a policy switch. It is not a continuation of Mao era policies. The switch is basic. It involves a p…

Nuclear Blackmail and the End of the Korean War
American Secretary of State John Foster Dulles often bragged about how nuclear brinkmanship by the United States finally brought the other side to agree to negotiated settlement of the Korean War in July 1953. It proved that the threat of massive retaliation could work. Communist bullies who understood the language of force, if no other, could be rendered reasonable by threat of an atomic attack.

Neither Mao, Nor Che: The Practical Evolution of Revolutionary Theory. A Comment on J. Moreno's ‘Che Guevara on Guerrilla Warfare’
An official, albeit implicit, Chinese critique of Che Guevara's methods in Bolivia in 1966–67 can be found in Peking's praise in 1969 for a Bolivian Communist Draft Peasant-Agrarian Program. Peking stresses Bolivia's feudal character and its domination by American imperialism. That is, the revolution should ally with bourgeois nationalism. Consequently it must be based on a minimalist program to attract a maximum of support. The National Liberati…
A Comparative Politics of Democratization in China
Agreeing with Professor Pan Wei that maintaining stability in China and preventing war between China and the United States are at least as important as the democratization of China, this article considers the experiences of Russia, India, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong for clues as to whether China can control corruption and continue the economic reform process without significant political reform, concluding that gradual dem…

The old administration was overthrown by expeasants led by deracinated rur…

The Nixon-Mao Pact
An American reader of Chinese language newspapers during the 1968 Presidential election campaign might be surprised to discover how much Hubert Humphrey and Richard Nixon had to say about China. Humphrey was cited on behalf of coexistence, improving relations and ending present trade restrictions. Nixon was cited on behalf of solving “the China problem” in the next eight years and visiting China if he were given a visa. Since the question of Chin…
Cultural Limits of the Cultural Revolution
Most studies of Cultural Revolution are absorbed with ups and downs of China's political elite. This is only natural given concern of most outside observers over who is making Peking's foreign policy decisions. But what is perhaps most fascinating and unexpected about Cultural Revolution is not strengthening or breaking of leaders, but rather fact that leaders have been largely unable to control or manipulate followers and masses. The call to poo…

Extremists are extremely extreme: A view of Chinese foreign policy during the cultural revolution
China's foreign policy during the Cultural Revolution is usually treated as a non-event. Melvin Gurtov in his careful and extremely useful chronological account of China's foreign policy at this time (RAND, RM-5934-PR) still deems it “an aberrant episode” (VII, 83). He describes it as the manifestation of a power struggle between extreme young zealots and implacable older powerholders. “Substantive policy views” are almost beside the point (76). …

History and Will
Surrejoinder
Boardman now says that my critique of mainstream quantitative studies of Chinese foreign policy is “perfectly justified,” yet he continues to argue in the same old unjustifiable manner. He continues the quest for timeless, placeless truths which all can agree to, a quest which both Marx and Weber long ago pointed out was impossible in a world of conflictful social relations where perception cannot be divorced from social perspective. The data doe…
Chinese foreign policy and American social science
Karl Marx and Mao Tse-tung, C. Wright Mills, Barrington Moore, Jr. and Fei Hsiao-t'ung also described themselves as social scientists. Thus when Boardman contrasts radical scholarship with authentic social science he is merely using a debater's tactic, using a label to place his adversaries at a rhetorical disadvantage, trying to monopolize the term science for only his outlook on events

Dramatic Structure in Cervantes and Lope: The Two "Pedro de Urdemalas" Plays
C ERVANTES' ten full-length plays fall into two distinct periods and encompass various sub-genres, including tragedy, the saint's play, and the comedia de capa y espada. Cervantes wrote no literary treatises as such, but statements within his works reveal a preoccupation with method and arrangement of dramatic material.1 The element of unity serves as a point of reference with which to consider the plays jointly. Cervantes achieves unity not by d…
