Economic Disarticulation and Fertility in Less Developed Nations
A large body of research and theory seeking to explain fertility levels in less developed nations has stressed the effects of economic development on family-level decision making. While clearly a major factor, economic development levels fail to explain much of the variation in fertility rates. Some researchers have attempted to remedy this shortcoming by taking into account cross-national variation in income distributions, on the grounds that th…
Disarticulation and Human Welfare in Less Developed Countries
Disarticulation refers to the juxtaposition of economic sectors with different levels of development and productivity. Disarticulation is hypothesized to have a negative effect on social well-being, net of economic development, because it inhibits the spread effects generally thought to be associated with economic growth. Findings are in accord with this hypothesis, although the relationship is complex. The strongest effects of disarticulation ar…
Global Deforestation and the Nineteenth-Century World Economy
The Political Economy of Distribution: Equality versus Inequality
Tradition and the Veil: Female Status in Tunisia and Algeria
Theories of modernisation and social change have been increasingly challenged during the past decade by events in the Middle East and other areas of the developing world. Leaders of oil-rich nations are choosing to industrialise but not to westernise, and Islamic revivals are shaping new patterns of political and social development. For example, improvements in female status can no longer be regarded as the inevitable concomitants of industrialis…
Comparative Modernization: A Reader
Racial Prejudice and Economic Pragmatism: A South African Case-Study
Race relations have become one of the most sensitive of international issues. They have been transformed from the domestic concern of single countries to a matter of world concern. The story of this transformation is almost too well-known for comment. It grew from a massive revulsion against fascist racialism, the decline of white dominance, the emergence of new states from colonial empires, and the growing dependence of developed countries on th…
Afrikaner Calvinism and Economic Action: The Weberian Thesis in South Africa
This paper examines the relationship between traditional Afrikaner religion and worldly action. The specific question addressed is why Afrikaner Calvinism, which is theologically identical to European Calvinism of the 18th century, had a highly conservative impact on economic action, in contrast to the European case. The theoretical position put forward is that any analysis of religion's secular impact must be contextual and focus upon what is he…
