Science of Language Policy and Planning
Language policy and planning has a long history, but an explicit theoretical framework has only developed in the last 50 years. Usually the process is regarded in a unitary way, and called language planning, while the specific decisions involved are said to constitute language policy.

Sino-Tibetan archaeolinguistics
This chapter summarizes the linguistic phylogeny of the Sino-Tibetan (ST) languages and how this phylogeny relates to archaeological and genetic information. Early Neolithic farmers of the upper Yellow River region during the early and middle Yangshao culture period ca. 7,000–5,300 cal BP were the likely speakers of Proto-ST. Genetic analysis shows that the ancient genome of the Yangshao population is the main genetic precursor of modern populati…
Water, sanitation and hygiene (Wash)
Despite some progress, universal access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) by 2030—a remit of Sustainable Development Goal 6—remains a distant prospect in many countries. Policy-makers and implementers of the WASH sector are challenged to track a new path. This research aimed to identify core orienting themes of the sector, as legacies of past processes, which can provide insights for its future. We reviewed global policy, science and p…

Ancient Connections of Sinitic
Six main alternative linkage proposals which involve the Sino-Tibetan family, including Sinitic and other language families of the East Asian area (Miao-Yao, Altaic/Transeurasian, Austroasiatic, Tai-Kadai, Austronesian) are briefly outlined. Using the standard techniques of comparative linguistics, a remote linkage between the Sino-Tibetan languages, including Sinitic, the Yeniseian languages of Siberia, and the Na-Dene languages of northwest Nor…
Linguistic Diversity and Plurality in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia has great linguistic and ethnic diversity: each nation has its national language(s) and other indigenous and immigrant minority languages, overall representing languages from seven major language families. Some nations have large minority populations and many ethnic groups, others are more homogeneous; national language policy plays a strong role in shaping patterns of multilingualism. English is the major language of wider communi…
Risky responsibilities for rural drinking water institutions
The drinking water sector is off track to reach Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.1 with over a quarter of the world’s population lacking safe and reliable services. Policy approaches are shifting away from provision of access towards managing the multiple risks of water supply and quality. By considering how infrastructure, information, and institutional systems evolved in Bangladesh, this article identifies the unintentional consequences of …
Language policy and language planning in mainland Southeast Asia
Most nations in mainland Southeast Asia and elsewhere have one national language as a focus of national identity and unity, supported by a language policy which promotes and develops this language. Indigenous and immigrant minority groups within each nation may be marginalized; their languages may become endangered. Some of the official national language policies and ethnic policies of mainland Southeast Asian nations aim to support both a nation…

Central Lisu
Lisu (ISO 639-2 lis) is spoken by just over a million members of the group of this name in south-western China, north-eastern Burma, northern Thailand and north-eastern India. It formerly also had other names used by outsiders, including Yeren (Chineseyeren'wild people'), and Yawyin in Burma and Yobin in India (both derived from the Chinese term). Other names included Lisaw from the Shan and Thai name for the group, also seen in the former Burmes…
Languages
In Myanmar, over a hundred languages are spoken among the 135 officially defined ethnic groups. The dominant language is Myanmar language, spoken as a mother tongue by over two-thirds of the population and by most others as a second language. The literary and historical form of the name of the country and the language is /myanma/—this has been in every Myanmar language version of the name of the country since independence in 1948. During the Brit…

Bifactor Models of Religious and Spiritual Struggles
The Religious and Spiritual Struggles Scale (RSS) measures important psychological constructs in an underemphasized section of the overlap between religion and well-being. Are religious/spiritual struggles distinct from religiousness, distress, and each other? To test the RSS' internal discriminant validity, we replicated the original six-factor measurement model across five large samples (N = 5705) and tested the fit of a restricted bifactor mod…

Language Endangerment and Resilience Linguistics
Resilience thinking is a new approach to the understanding of complex ecological and social interactions and changes that is also relevant for our response to the processes of change that occur in language endangerment. Many communities around the world are in or approaching a tip phase of language endangerment, involving drastic changes in language ability, structure, and use, as well as the loss of a great deal of other traditional knowledge. A…
Embedding partnership policing
Whilst the principles of ‘partnership policing’ are commonly espoused, the associated challenges of capability formation, cultural change, and re‐shaping modes of accountability within police organisations continue to hinder sustainability efforts. This paper tells the story of what we have learned, through a program titled ‘Nexus Policing,’ about the requirements for embedding new thinking and practice across ranks and units of a police organisa…
Ending the ‘dialogue of the deaf’
In this paper two current police research traditions are examined, the critical police research and policy police research, as they have evolved in the USA, the UK, and in Australia. Each tradition has developed a typical pattern of relationship between researchers and police practitioners, but both suffered from what we call the ‘dialogue of the deaf.’ While acknowledging the continuing importance of each approach to police research, we suggest …

Distribution and Redistribution in Postindustrial Democracies
This article analyzes the processes of distribution and redistribution in postindustrial democracies. The authors combine a pooled time-series data base on welfare state effort and its determinants assembled by Huber, Ragin, and Stephens (1997) with data on income distribution assembled in the Luxembourg Income Survey (IJS) archive. In the case of the LIS data, the authors recalculate the microdata in order to remove the distorting influence of p…
Determinants of Relative Poverty in Advanced Capitalist Democracies
Using relative poverty measures based on micro-level data from the Luxembourg Income Study, in conjunction with pooled time-series data for 14 advanced capitalist democracies between 1970 and 1997, the authors analyze separately the rate of pretax/transfer poverty and the reduction in poverty achieved by systems of taxes and transfers. Socioeconomic factors, including de-industrialization and unemployment, largely explain pre-tax/transfer poverty…

Regulation of unmarried cohabitation in west-European jurisdictions - determinants of legal policy
This article examines the development of statutory regulation of extra-marital cohabitation. It focuses on the private law status of heterosexual relationships in particular West-European countries, although links with same-sex partnerships and comparisons between common law jurisdictions necessitate somewhat broader treatment. The objective is to analyse determinants of legislation, rather than provide a comprehensive account of West-European co…
Language policy for China’s minorities
The Yi national minority of southwestern China has four distinct orthographic traditions: Nosu, Nasu, Nisu and Sani. All are based on traditional systems using the same logographic principle as Chinese writing and a few Chinese characters. Otherwise, they are very different, both from Chinese and to a lesser degree from each other. Since 1950, orthographic reform has taken place separately in the three main provinces where Ngwi or Yi languages ar…

Speech through music
There is evidence that a particular musical instrument was used by various Sino-Tibetan groups to convey speech, both for courting and for religious purposes. The Proto-Sino-Tibetan etymon for this gourd reed-organ is reconstructible as *s-jan. Its use as a speech surrogate is widely reported, from the earliest sources to the present. It is still used thus by many Tibeto-Burman groups

Radical Principles and the Legal Institution of Marriage
Reforms in Sweden in the last twenty years have produced a distinctive system of domestic relations law. The first objective of this article is to analyse the initial stage in this programme of reforms: the revision of marital capacity and divorce laws in 1973. The immediate practical importance of changes in these two areas will be limited: the introduction of the Swedish Marriage Code of 1920 may well have had a more tangible impact on society.…
Children, Family, and the State in Sweden
The designation of domestic relations laws as increasingly 'child-centred' is one indication of the general concern expressed today for the welfare of children.' There are few societies or political parties in which the protection of children and promotion of their interests would not be asserted as urgent priorities. Industrialized countries are faced with the need to develop policies on a range of common issues affecting children. These include…

Politics, Culture and Family Law in Finland
Co-operation with the other Nordic countries has been a primary factor in the development of family law in Finland. Within the Nordic region, a Finnish, Swedish legal tradition is in evidence.

Maintenance of this association after Finnish independence in 1917 has been one facet of broader collab…
