A mayores previsiones… resultados imprevistos: Reforma judicial en América Latina - indicios sobre Costa Rica
A partir de la década de 1980, e intensificándose en la década de 1990, las instituciones financieras internacionales (IFIs), las organizaciones no gubernamentales (ONGs) y las agencias de desarrollo destinaron gran cantidad de recursos a programas de reforma judicial y de Administración de justicia en prácticamente todos los países de América Latina y el Caribe. Se suponía que la modernización de los sistemas judiciales favorecería las estrategi…
Standing up the space force: Knowns and unknowns
Creation of a Space Force became possible when President Trump announced his decision to support such an organization. This followed on earlier congressional efforts to create a Space Corps, one that failed. Presently, the U.S. is working on the organizational possibilities ranging from a unified command, an independent sixth military service, or some other variant. The larger question is how such a force changes international understandings rega…

Is space war imminent? Exploring the possibility
A resurgence is occurring regarding the possibility of armed conflict in outer space. At a certain level, these new assertions regarding the possibilities of space war mirror similar arguments at the dawn of the space age. That enthusiasm for arming the heavens dissipated under the reality of conducting such operations proving extraordinarily difficult and expensive. Instead, the concept of a space sanctuary through international treaty and calcu…
Aircraft carrier or ballistic missile defense: Signaling commitment in situations of uncertainty
Strategically, the United States is in a period characterized by uncertainty and diverse threats. Attempting to end two wars becomes background noise in the larger context of U.S. recalibration of its role in the world. U.S. power is perceived as either declining or being reoriented. Balancing off previous commitments with new ones becomes a critical and difficult task. The core problem becomes signaling commitment without deploying major forces …

Crowded and Dangerous Space: Space Navigation System Proliferation's Impact on Future Security Operations
U.S. success in conducting expeditionary operations globally has made GPS-equivalent capabilities essential for a modern military and also for a robust economy. As a result, other states are building independent satnav systems or in the Russia case replenishing and modernizing their GLONASS [Global Navigation Satellite System] system. One outcome is that future military operations involving multiple states may find other satnav systems being used…
The Best Laid Schemes … Gang Aft A-gley: Judicial Reform in Latin America – Evidence from Costa Rica
‘Judicial independence is a means to a strong judicial institution, which is a means to personal liberty and prosperity.’ United States Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer. Starting in the 1980s, and accelerating through the 1990s, international financial institutions (IFIs), non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and development agencies funnelled considerable resources into judicial reform and rule of law programmes in virtually every Latin …

Outer Space as a Shared Frontier: Canada and the United States, Cooperation Between Unequal Partners
Canada's relationship with the United States in space activities has been a difficult one. This article explores the evolution of this duet and the changing international space policy context. For the United States, the relationship has been more marginal than for Canada, but other alternatives such as the European Space Agency have increased Canada's degrees of freedom from American dominance

The Central Dilemma of China’s S&T Policy
The central dilemma for Chinese science and technology (S&T) policy is how to reform and improve such policies without the deleterious interventions of the past. In a centralized S&T system, government intervention has proved at times disruptive and even destructive to efforts at national economic advancement. The historical processes within China have produced an S&T system with enormous potential but plagued by difficulties in investment strate…

Realigning Nasa's destiny
Time Binding and Theory Building in Personal Attribute Models of Supreme Court Voting Behavior, 1916-88
We discuss the circumstances under which analysts may expect statistical models to be time and content bound and suggest that conclusions that personal attributes models are powerful only for the postwar U.S. Supreme Court justices are premature. We present a personal attributes theory of liberalism in the U.S. Supreme Court for the past seven decades that includes political, social cleavage, family origins, and career socialization variables. We…

Court Curbing, Court Reversals, and Judicial Review: The Supreme Court Versus Congress
Congress and the Supreme Court have had many intense conflicts over the years. This paper examines that relationship in an effort to determine whether the Court's role is essentially that of legitimator or disturber of the political universe. Drawing upon the analysis of Dahl as critiqued by Funston, Adamany, and Casper, the relationship is tested using a much broader data base than was used by the previous studies. Based upon this analysis, the …
Women state legislators and the ERA: Dimensions of support and opposition
Attitudes of women state legislators toward ERA are explored in terms of social, institutional‐political and cultural correlates. Data base is a mail survey of the 688 women serving in state legislatures in 1977. As a group, women state legislators were heavily in support of ERA. Opposition to ERA is significantly higher among female legislators with lower education, less legislative seniority, who are Republican, from states with legislative par…

Presidential Affect and Chauvinism Among Children
The expression of positive feelings toward the president by children has been challenged as possibly being a methodological artifact. This research attempts to separate expression of presidential affect from expressions of chauvinism. With data from 759 sixth grade students. we offer additional evidence of chauvinism among children which may be the source of the presidential affect reported by earlier researchers
Congressional Budgeting for Eight Agencies, 1947-1972
This comparative analysis of House and Senate Appropriations Committees' budget recommendations for eight agencies (1947-1972) confirms the widely accepted notion that the House Committee cuts a greater portion of agencies' budget estimates and makes decisions more within an incremental norm than the Senate Committee. By concentrating on budget recommendations of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees, the principal intent of this study i…

that the F ratio is only 1.52 and therefore this R2 is not statistically significant. Even so, a close analysis of their reported figures reveals that this low F ratio was due only to the loss of the many cases that had missing values for one or more independent variables. Evidently, if my calculations are correct, of the 98 original astronomers only half had measurements on all seven indicators. Given that the effect size is so large it therefor…

Practising Western Science Inside the West: Psychological and Institutional Parallels between Western and Nonwestern Academic Cultures
This is a Response to the recent essay by Arnab Rai Choudhuri concerning the difficulties in practising Western science in a nonwestern culture, in this case: India.' The insights he reported are fascinating because in several important ways parallel conditions can also be found in Western academic institutions. That is: the psychological and social conditions are such that the effective practice of Western science is hindered, if not prevented, …

The 1974 Term of the United States Supreme Court
IN CONTRAST to the dramatic events of the summer of 1974, the Supreme Court returned to its position of relative public invisibility. Although there was some continuation of the activism of the late Warren Court, this more conservative court continued its retreat, and was plagued by the inactivity of Justice Douglas. Justice Douglas' stroke had a paralyzing effect on the court by removing the most liberal and most senior justice from court delibe…
