Internal Migration
Renewable Energy on Tribal Lands
Native American reservations are among the most economically disadvantaged regions in the United States; lacking access to economic and educational opportunities that are exacerbated by “energy insecurity” due to insufficient connectivity to the electric grid and power outages. Local renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and biomass offer energy alternatives but their implementation encounters barriers such as lack of financing, infrastru…
Safeguarding the enthusiasm for environmental studies
Keeping the faith
L asswell, H arold D.
Harold D. Lasswell (1902–1978) made groundbreaking contributions to political science, public policy analysis, political psychology, jurisprudence, and futures studies, based on his advances in the theory and methods of communications. The intertwined aspects of Lasswell's normative commitment, research approaches, and theories demonstrate his contributions in systematizing and integrating conventional and psychodynamic theories about the connect…
Cultural Change and Persistence
Normative Considerations in Promoting Cultural Preservation or Change
B oth cultural persistence and change reflect, in part, the broad forces of globalization. For example, consider the decline of handwoven rugs upon the introduction of mechanical looms or the rise of Navajo arti-sanship through new markets in Europe and Asia. We need only remember that the enormous market for Corinth’s striking black-figure pottery was eclipsed in the mid-sixth century BCE by the rise of Athens as a competitor and then the new-st…
Policy sciences contributions to analysis to promote sustainability
An Ecological Approach to Creating Active Living Communities
The thesis of this article is that multilevel interventions based on ecological models and targeting individuals, social environments, physical environments, and policies must be implemented to achieve population change in physical activity. A model is proposed that identifies potential environmental and policy influences on four domains of active living: recreation, transport, occupation, and household. Multilevel research and interventions requ…

New development approaches and the adaptability of international agencies
Certain “realist” views of the international economic regime construe international financial agencies as straightforward reflections of the power and interests of nation states. However, the World Bank's responsiveness to a wide range of demands for new development priorities and approaches also depends on the compliance of its huge staff. The staff's discretion in shaping, implementing, discrediting, or resisting these approaches requires an or…

The Stability of Communist Electorates
In both France and Italy, research on communism has mainly focused on the Communist parties' structures of command and on their doctrinal adaptation; much less attention has been given to their structures of support, and-in particular-to their capacity to find supporters for an aggressive social strategy. Reasoning from a model of voting stability which emphasizes the need for voter continuity in parties of mass mobilization, like the Communist p…

"Comments on "A Cross-Cultural Theory of Political Conflict and Violence
Ross's article attempts to assess numerous hypotheses, theories and frameworks for explaining internal and external violence through aggregate, cross-societal correlations using half of the Murdock ethnographic sample. It does not present or test a cross-cultural theory of political conflict and violence. The author has translated a number of rather sophisticated and context-sensitive theories into simplistic hypotheses linking single societal tr…

On the Convergence of Efficiency and Equity via Neoclassical Prescriptions
The most exciting prospect in Latin American political economy and public policy is the possibility of pursuing the objectives of equity and efficiency through the same neoclassical policy instruments. In light of conventional views, this convergence is remarkable, perhaps even shocking. We often juxtapose efficiency and equity, along with the ideological positions associated with each. It is common to link Leftist political approaches both to st…
