Marriage plots
This article seeks to break new ground by adopting an innovative methodology – a legal-narratological approach – in order to take a fresh look at the narrative dynamics and narrative tiers of a two-thousand-year-old piece of marriage legislation – the late first century BCE leges Iuliae. We argue that these Roman laws, which brought hitherto private behaviours into the public jurisdiction and state control, sought to establish its legal authority…
Mobilizing Human Resources in the Arab World (RLE Economy of Middle East)
R. Paul Shaw has travelled widely in the Arab world, obtaining data and gathering impressions first-hand from national and local planners. In this book, he identifies population and manpower problems that are likely to become more serious and more difficult to solve if they are neglected at this early stage of Arab development. He focuses on five broad areas which are directly or indirectly related to mobilizing human resources, and his book will…

The Genetic Seeds of Warfare
Intermetropolitan Migration in Canada
Inclusive Fitness and Central Tendencies in Warfare Propensities
To apply evolutionary biology and sociobiology to politics, behaviors such as origins and functions of altruism, nepotism, coercion, and warfare must be looked at in new ways. This involves truly demanding interdisciplinary study and reevaluation of age-old premises usually taken for granted in the social sciences. Goldstein fails to rise to this challenge. His commentary is astonishingly naive and unscholarly. Kitcher offers well reasoned points…

Unemployment and Low Family Incomes in Canada
Fiscal versus Traditional Market Variables in Canadian Migration
This paper evaluates the hypothesis that the influence of "traditional" market variables on migration in Canada has diminished over time. This is attributed to a crowding-out process whereby growth of social security--type programs has cushioned the effects of, say, unemployment and thus motivation to migrate for jobs, and fiscal policies have exerted unintended effects. Implications are that market forces that would work naturally to induce migr…

Humanity's propensity for warfare
The Shaping of Man
Manpower and educational shortages in the Arab world
Migration Theory and Fact
Government perceptions of population growth
This paper seeks to evaluate the extent to which the world's population is represented by governments that judge population growth largely in terms of their countries' socio-economic capacity to absorb such growth. The initial data base consists of 125 countries, representing approximately 94 per cent of the world's population, classified according to whether their governments perceive their rates of population growth as deficient, satisfactory o…
A note on cost-return calculations and decisions to migrate
In the notions of the aggregative cost-benefit migration models, this paper questions the assumption that prospective migrants behave as if they are not only concerned with, but are able to calculate expected pecuniary and non-pecuniary returns to re-location. Results of a survey which evaluates the role of cost-return calculations in decisions to migrate suggest that there may be population sub-groups who either do not care to make cost-returns …
