The joy of the teaching track: Learning and Teaching in Politics and International Studies
In recent years, the number of academic jobs in research-intensive universities that are described as ‘academic education route’, ‘teaching and scholarship’, or ‘teaching track’ has grown. While some of these jobs emerged out of the regularisation of formerly casual posts, we have also witnessed the creation of specialised education-focused roles and academic promotion frameworks that offer education-focused career paths. In this article, a group…
Charting brain functional development from birth to 6 years of age
Early childhood is crucial for brain functional development. Using advanced neuroimaging methods, characterizing functional connectivity has shed light on the developmental process in infants. However, insights into spatiotemporal functional maturation from birth to early childhood are substantially lacking. In this study, we aggregated 1,091 resting-state functional MRI scans of typically developing children from birth to 6 years of age, harmoni…

Marxism and the origins of International Relations: A hidden history
Recollecting a lost dialogue: Structural Realism meets neoclassical realism
Since its appellation, much work has sought to consolidate neoclassical realism. Specifically, a number of variations on the neoclassical theme have reconceptualised the third-image and carved out a distinctly European neoclassical variant. This article contributes by recollecting the Structural Realism of Logic of Anarchy. In unpacking Structural Realism's framework and dissecting its engagement with inter alia Kenneth Waltz, this article illust…

A reassessment of E.H. Carr and the realist tradition: Britain, German–Soviet Relations and neoclassical realism
The realism that did not speak its name: E. H. Carr’s diplomatic histories of the twenty years’ crisis
E. H. Carr was one of Europe’s pre-eminent thinkers in the field of international affairs. Yet his contribution to International Relations theory is continually questioned. Realists depict Carr as a quintessential realist; revisionists draw from his wider corpus to qualify his contribution. Although not inaccurate, the revisionist literature is incomplete as it neglects a number of Carr’s diplomatic histories. Refocusing on these, especially the …
Gender Differences in Environmental Concern: Reevaluating Gender Socialization
We examine the direct effects of social roles and value orientations believed to be derived from gender socialization on environmental concern. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) and Wave 2 of the Baylor Religion Survey (BRS), we find that among U.S. adults, value orientations about social roles, but not social roles themselves, influence environmental concern. Gender traditionalism is found to have a significant negative relationship with …

Realist Foreign Policy Analysis with a Twist: The Persian Gulf Security Complex and the Rise and Fall of Dual Containment
Analyses of US post-Cold War foreign policy in the Persian Gulf symbolize realism's new found concern with foreign policy analysis. Prominent realists attribute specific policies to domestic concerns and how they have dominated policymaking in the era of US primacy. Although convincing, this perspective is not comprehensive. By drawing on regional security complex theory, it is possible to map the regional developments that have equally constrain…

Why Just Two Parties? A Voting Game to Illustrate Duverger's Law
With the 2012 presidential elections approaching, student interest in (and frustration with) the US two-party system is likely to grow. Although many explanations exist for this phenomenon, their number and complexity often overwhelm students. This article describes an iterative game, designed for a single class session, that illustrates one of the major institutional explanations for the US two-party system—Duverger's Law. The game can also spur…

VII. Empire's Law
This chapter aims to note how both the essential constitutional doctrines and the major rules of private law could fare in the process of adapting the common law to its novel environments; for, among other things, that suggests the extent to which English common law was dependent upon its own circumstances of time and socio-political development.
Congressional Use of Authorization and Oversight
This article addresses two questions found in the transaction-cost literature on congressional control of the federal bureaucracy. The first question is, when does Congress seek to exercise control over federal agencies? Drawing in part on the work of Ringquist, Worsham, and Eisner (2003) and Cox (2004), this project examines congressional use of statutory controls and oversight across different levels of public salience, technical complexity, an…

Measuring Innovation
It is sometimes suggested that it is inherently impossible to quantify and measure innovation. This article argues that while this is true for some aspects of innovation, its overall characteristics do not preclude measurement of key dimensions of processes and outputs. An important development has been the emergence of new indicators of innovation inputs and outputs, including economy-wide measures that have some degree of international comparab…

Among the Peoples of the Agreste of Pernambuco
Anthropology, despite its historic role in both creating and dismantling the American racial worldview, seems barely visible in contemporary scholarly and public discussions of "race." The authors argue that race should once again be central to anthropological inquiry, that cultural and physical anthropologists must jointly develop and publicly disseminate a unified, uniquely anthropological perspective. They suggest ways to proceed and identify …

The Organizing Efficiency of Theories: The N/V Ratio as a Crude Rank Order Measure1
A criterion is proffered for testing the organizing power of a theory: that theory is preferred to all alternative theories which has the highest ratio of the number of cases to which the theory applies to the number of essential variables which that theory must employ, holding constant the minimal accuracy and statistical significance demanded of the findings. The theory that industrial workers are more likely to vote for socialist parties than …

Conglomerate Performance Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model
W HILE many aspects of conglomerate firms have been studied, empirical tests of their performance remain limited. Most of the studies to date test aspects of mergers generally.' Professor Eamon Kelly (1967) compared a sample of 21 firms which grew 20 per cent or more by acquisitions during the period from 1946 to various terminal dates through 1963, with firms of similar size and products but with growth mainly internal (Kelly, 1967). He found no…
Who Controls Book Publishing in Anglophone Middle Africa
Book publishing in anglophone middle Africa must be interpreted against a background of illiteracy, an emphasis on achievement reading, and other social and infrastructural elements. International market forces acting through metropolitan publishers determine general and nonfiction publishing, whereas the major market governing African creative writing is found in African schools and universities. The actions of British publishing multinationals …

Effect of Expectation and Level of Adjustment on Treatment Outcome
This analysis assessed the hypothesis that a relation between adjustment prior to treatment and client outcome, based on documented theoretical observations about similar relationships between clients' expectations and subsequent adjustment after therapeutic counseling, is curvilinear. A sample of 77 outpatients at a University-affiliated hospital completed self-assessments using standardized adjustment scales. There was no curvilinear relationsh…

Fear of crime among the South African public
Fear of crime is recognized as one of the more adverse social and psychological consequences of crime leading to anxiety, mistrust. and a disruption of community and social life. Previous studies have found high levels of fear of crime among the South African public but little is known about the factors contributing to these high levels of fear. In this study a multivariate technique was used to analyse data relating to fear of crime in South Afr…
