How does context shape differences and changes in caregivers’ engagement in psychosocial stimulation over time? Evidence from a cross-national study
As few as 34% of 3- and 4-year-olds in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) receive adequate psychosocial stimulation from their caregivers (e.g., reading books, telling stories, playing). While previous research suggests that structural conditions within LMICs meaningfully influence caregivers’ capacities to engage in psychosocial stimulation of children, it remains unclear how such conditions may underlie both within-household and between-p…
The effect of father-child engagement on maternal life satisfaction in South Asian contexts
Research suggests father involvement in childcare can elevate maternal life satisfaction but has been undertaken almost exclusively in Western countries. This study investigates whether the association holds in countries where gender complementarity is normative, specifically testing the applicability of role theory and family systems theory on mothers' life satisfaction in under-studied South Asian contexts. We utilize data from Round 6 of UNICE…
Measuring the Impact of Armed Conflict on Population Health
The humanitarian impact of armed conflict remains a significant international issue, with an estimated 2 billion people residing in fragile or conflict‐affected settings. Despite increasing attention and study of armed conflict and its impact on human populations, few studies have evaluated the methods necessary to assess such relationships: how to use disaggregated and granular conflict data, measure and operationalize conflict, etc. In this stu…
Harmonized Data from Household Surveys on the Status and Well-being of Children, Adolescents, and Their Families

Multiple scripts, multiple institutions
Partial enactment of women’s rights is at the crux of this analysis, which identifies factors associated with the adoption of some global women’s rights scripts but not others. Women who partially enact global principles are an important group, and focusing on them provides clues into when, where, and how institutionalized scripts are in competition. To explore this issue, Demographic and Health Survey data from 25 low- and middle-income countrie…
Covid-19 and Contraceptive Use in Two African Countries
Women in Africa may have experienced conflicting pressures during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the unpredictable nature of the pandemic was prompting some women to delay pregnancies, the pandemic was potentially limiting access to reproductive health services due to supply shortages, fears of virus exposure, and mobility restrictions. In this study, we used longitudinal data from Kenya and Burkina Faso and applied a multilevel perspective to bett…
Investigating Seasonal Agriculture, Contraceptive Use, and Pregnancy in Burkina Faso
Seasonal shifts in community-level agricultural production and their impact on the severity of the annual hunger season and household coping behaviors are important themes in climate change-health research. The relationship between seasonal variability, childbearing, and reproductive health, however, is less well understood. In this research, we combine detailed, spatially referenced Performance Monitoring for Action (PMA) data collected for Burk…
Trust and Covid precautionary measures during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic
This study examines how trust was associated with social distancing during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in Burkina Faso and Kenya. It fills gaps in previous research on trust and health by 1) simultaneously considering the relationship of individual- and aggregate-level indicators of trust, and 2) evaluating trust in local government and national government separately. Performance Monitoring for Action (PMA) data on COVID-precautionary…
How to Use Simplified Reproductive Calendar Data from the Demographic and Health Survey
IPUMS Demographic and Health Surveys (IPUMS DHS), through its intuitive website ( http://dhs.ipums.org/ ), eliminate barriers to overtime and cross‐national analyses with the DHS. IPUMS DHS recently released simplified reproductive calendar data. These calendar data are harmonized across samples, distinguish “not in universe” cases from “no” responses, and do not require destringing. Variable names are hot links to important documentation, such a…
Crimmigrating Narratives
Examining what we call "crimmigrating narratives," we show that US immigration court criminalizes non-citizens, cements forms of social control, and dispenses punishment in a non-punitive legal setting. Building on theories of crimmigration and a sociology of narrative, we code, categorize, and describe third-party observations of detained immigration court hearings conducted in Fort Snelling, Minnesota, from July 2018 to June 2019. We identify a…

Intergenerational Transmission of Female Genital Cutting
ObjectiveThis study examined how characteristics of households and communities are implicated in the intergenerational transmission of gender inequality and particularly female genital cutting (FGC).BackgroundHuman capital perspectives suggest that socioeconomic inequality predicts FGC continuation. This study contributes to discussions of institutional change by examining the association of decisions to forego FGC with household decision making …
The Global Adoption of National Policies Protecting Children from Violent Discipline in Schools and Homes, 1950-2011
With a focus on the relationship between women's and children's rights and theories of globalization, we conduct an event history analysis of more than 150 countries between 1950 and 2011 to assess the factors associated with policies banning corporal punishment in schools and homes. Our research reveals that formal condemnation of corporal punishment in schools is becoming a global norm; policies banning corporal punishment in the home, in contr…
The Catholic Church and International Law
Since the 1960s, the Catholic Church has been immensely influential in shaping international law. It provides a compelling example of how nonstate actors, relying on principled positions rather than resources, can alter the course of global policy making. The Church's authority rests on three distinct features: (a) independence from the nation-state system; (b) a centralized transnational bureaucracy; and (c) its enduring ideology. In this review…

National Human Trafficking Initiatives
The implementation of criminal law involves formal law enforcement, education and public outreach aimed at preventing criminal activity, and providing services for victims. Historically, quantitative research on global trends has tended to focus on a single policy dimension, potentially masking the unique factors that affect the diffusion of each policy dimension independently. Using an ordered-probit model to analyze new human trafficking policy…
When Do Laws Matter? National Minimum-Age-of-Marriage Laws, Child Rights, and Adolescent Fertility, 1989-2007
Using the case of adolescent fertility, we ask the questions of whether and when national laws have an effect on outcomes above and beyond the effects of international law and global organizing. To answer these questions, we utilize a fixed-effect time-series regression model to analyze the impact of minimum-age-of-marriage laws in 115 poor- and middle-income countries from 1989 to 2007. We find that countries with strict laws setting the minimum…
Neoliberalism, Transnational Education Norms, and Education Spending in the Developing World, 1983–2004
Using the case of education, we consider how global cultural and economic forces affect national education spending policies. Our analysis includes both an historical analysis of the construction and transformation of ideas about education at the global level and a statistical assessment of the implementation of conflicting approaches to state education funding within countries. In the historical analysis, we show how the idea of free education, …
Law and Culture in a Global Context
Female genital cutting practices (FGCs) provide a contemporary lens into the relationship between law and culture in a global context. In this discussion, we take both legal and cultural pluralism seriously to illustrate how laws and cultures interact to create or resist change. We consider law and culture at the international, national, and community levels. The literature shows how “insiders” who speak the language of “outsiders” can quickly lo…
Culture, Structure, and the Refugee Experience in Somali Immigrant Family Transformation
This analysis suggests a theoretical refinement of migrant acculturation theories to deal specifically with refugee acculturation experiences. Using the case of family dynamics among Somali refugees in Minnesota, we find that the same factors that are theorized to affect voluntary migrants are also important for refugees. Specifically, the nature of exit from the sending society, the reception in a new location, and group characteristics all appe…

International Human Rights Law, Global Economic Reforms, and Child Survival and Development Rights Outcomes
Are recent trends in international law supporting child rights and promoting neoliberal economic reforms complementary or contradictory? To answer this question, we identify the component parts of child rights mobilization, recent global economic reforms, and child rights outcomes to theorize the particular relationships among them. Focusing on child survival and development rights in 99 poor and middle-income countries from 1983 to 2001, we find…
Institutional Vulnerablity and Opportunity
New legal realism focuses on the complexity of individual action and the view of law from the “bottom-up.” Neoinstitutionalism also suggests that rational-actor models are too simplistic, but spotlights enduring historical effects on individual action and thus tends to view the world from the “top-down.” In this article, we seek to marry the two disparate approaches by centering on moments of institutional vulnerability and opportunity when a sys…
Movement Frames and African Women's Explanations for Opposing Female Genital Cutting
This article addresses how people account for their beliefs and what social factors affect or determine those accounts. Considering the explanations women in five African countries give for their opposition to female genital cutting (FGC), we empirically examine the link between movement adherence and frame resonance. Although international anti-FGC activists employ medical and human rights frames to combat the practice, we find most of the women…
How Do Status Beliefs Develop? The Role of Resources and Interactional Experience
Status construction theory argues that interaction between people with unequal structural advantages is crucial in the development and spread of status value beliefs about people's distinguishing attributes. A central claim is that goal-oriented encounters between those who differ in material resources as well as in an easily observed nominal attribute create status beliefs about that attribute which favor the richer actors' attribute category. T…
National Politics as International Process
Looking at power struggles primarily within national boundaries reifies the nation-state and misses larger issues of control in the international system. Using the example of female genital cutting (FGC), we consider the relative importance of local constituencies versus international normative influence in creating national policies. We find that the occurrence of anti-FGC legislation in countries where many individuals support the procedure, th…

Local Conformity to International Norms
Using the case of female genital cutting (FGC), the article addresses the question of when local attitudes and practices conform to international norms. One theoretical perspective links attitudes in developing countries to control over the physical environment, arguing that greater control over nature is associated with the rejection of traditional authority and the acceptance of modern science. A competing perspective emphasizes the importance …
International Discourse and Local Politics
The international diffusion of similar laws and policies across nations is now a well-covered theme in sociology, but no one has yet asked what these similar laws and policies mean. We take the case of anti-female-genital-cutting policies in Egypt, Tanzania, and the U.S. and turn our attention to how local political situations interacted with international discourse. Functional relevance and international standing combined to affect levels of con…

Political Frames and Legal Activity
State-society differentiation and political centralization interact to influence the amount, focus, and effect of legal activity. Using case studies of anti-nuclear power litigation in the 1970s in the United States, West Germany, France, and Sweden, this article develops a general theory of political systems and legal activity. While the United States, West Germany, and France all had considerable amounts of antinuclear litigation, in France and…

National Politics and Resort to the European Commission on Human Rights
An interesting irony of human rights is that the nation-states that are most susceptible to claims of human rights abuses may not be the most repressive nation-states. Pursuing this modern paradox, the purpose of this research is to determine the factors affecting the number of human rights claims brought by citizens in the international arena. We base our theory on an extension of theories of state strength and test it using a pooled time-series…

Making the Case
International treaties have had an important impact on national policies affecting women throughout the world. This is true despite women's marginalized status in most national political systems and the treaties' lack of specific formal sanctions. Using the case of the Convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, the Japanese Equal Employment Opportunity Law, and lawsuits brought by Japanese women against the Sumit…

Is Law the Rule? Using Political Frames to Explain Cross-National Variation in Legal Activity
Across democratic countries, amounts of individualistic legal activity are starkly different The current trend in explaining this variation is to break legal activity into different categories and explain why variation exists within each type. While this trend has been useful in providing detailed analyses across a narrow spectrum of activities, it moves the field away from the broader context in which all legal activity occurs. I take the opposi…

Gender and Professional Purity
How does gender affect work rewards for professionals in a state-run economy? Using surveys from physicians in Estonia in 1991, the authors first found that the gender of the physician did not affect the level of formal rewards. However, because the state allocated formal rewards on the basis of professional purity, which was negatively correlated with feminization, specialties that had the greatest proportion of women also had the lowest formal …

Theorizing the Form of Media Coverage Over Time
Because the media plays a critical role in cross-cultural communication, bias in the portrayal of particular cultures is an important issue. In this article, we use the form of newspaper articles over time to arbitrate between two competing theories of media coverage: Is the media primarily driven by self-interest, that is, the need to sell newspapers, or is it driven primarily by the same principled ideas that fuel international activism? Analyz…
