The opportunity costs of the politics of division and disinformation in the context of the twenty-first century security deficit
In the context of increasingly dynamic global threats to security, which exceed current institutional capabilities to address them, this paper examines the influence of actors with insular interests who seek to leverage anxieties, grievances and disinformation for their own advantage at the expense of the public. Such actors have a common interest in political dysfunction as a means of reducing institutional controls and oversite and use combinat…

Masculinities in Transition? Exclusion, Ethnosocial Power, and Contradictions in Excombatant Community-based Peacebuilding in Northern Ireland
This study critically examines how masculinities and intersecting ethnonational and social class identities underscore the social and political agencies of excombatants in Northern Ireland and in the specific context of community-based peacebuilding. The authors draw on interviews with female and male leaders in grassroots and governmental organizations, which illustrate how state-led practices of exclusion reshape such intersectional identities …

Varieties of Urban Experience
Promoting Respect for Difference on the College Campus
Thirty-nine undergraduate students participated in an experiment to determine the impact of cooperation and fear of terrorism on student support for Muslims on campus. As expected, participants whose fear of terrorism was low expressed significantly greater support for Muslim students than did their more fearful counterparts. Moreover, participants in both the high and the low cooperation condition were significantly more supportive of Muslims on…
When Hate Comes to Town
During the 1990s, many recently arrived immigrants and refugees in search of secure and stable places to raise their families moved to smaller, mostly homogenous American cities and towns. In these smaller communities, a lack of experience with ethnic and racial minorities along with the fear-provoking impact of 9/11 gave racial supremacists an opportunity to expand their membership base by promoting racial hatred and fears across these communiti…
When a Crime Committed by a Teenager Becomes a Hate Crime
This article examines the conditions under which a crime committed by a teenager comes to be viewed as a hate-motivated offense. In Study 1, the age of the perpetrator and the level of evidence were experimentally manipulated for male and female subjects. The dependent variable consisted of the likelihood that an interracial encounter was a hate crime. Our results suggest that female subjects were significantly more likely than their male counter…
Mediating the Family
Introduction
This cluster of articles is comprised of the four talks given at a special plenary session during the NWSA 2000 National Conference at Simmons College, Boston, along with an introductory essay by the session's organizers. The session began from the premise that war and peace are deeply gendered at the conceptual level as well as in their practical effects. In a series of non-technical reports from the field, these feminist activist-scholars map t…

Neighborhood Associations
We study neighborhood associations as local political actors. In our sample, most were formed around a single neighborhood issue, typically involving land-development projects. Their most common opponents include local government and business and real estate developers. The well-known growth-machine model is challenged in two ways. First, although growth issues are prominent in the establishment of neighborhood associations, in many cases they ar…
