Disasters and Governments
This article examines why disasters of similar types differentially affect countries throughout the world. Despite a plethora of studies in the disaster field, such a theme has hitherto not been systematically pursued. Concepts of government effectiveness, government instability, available resources, and social context are incorporated into a structural model that seeks to explain differentials in impact. A derivative measurement model is tested …

Audits of international relief in the Nigerian Civil War: Some political perspectives
Information from four audits, or audit-like reviews, of international relief programs in the Nigerian-Biafran war sheds considerable light on the financial sources, scope, timing of flows, and cost-efficiency associated with that complex operation. Beyond their intrinsic interest, which is heightened by two of the documents remaining unpublished, such economic data bear heavily on many political aspects of the relief effort. For example, they per…
Some Political Dimensions of International Relief: Two Cases
In the closing months of the Nigeria-Biafra Civil War and for about two and one-half years thereafter, the American voluntary agency CARE (Cooperative for American Relief Everywhere) operated a rehabilitation program in Nigeria's East-Central State. With funds largely provided by USAID, it concentrated on rebuilding or extending basic structures, like bridges and water systems, and on distributing badly needed planting material. During much of th…
Political factors in the fall of RolIs‐Royce
While economic and technological difficulties greatly reduced Rolls‐Royce's viability, its passing into receivership can be adequately explained only by invoking additional (and largely political) factors. In the absence of any automatic criteria for aborting a losing project, the Conservative government of the day responded to an abundance of consistently negative politioal implications. Unfortunately for its continued survival, the Rolls‐Royce …

Toward a Sociology of Public Transit
Short trips on public transit frequently exhibit stressful sociological characteristics. Passengers tend to view the vehicles as mono-instrumental conveyances and to evince a pronounced exit-orientation; but transit arrangements rarely facilitate an equitable order in departing. Severe limits on what one can see and whom one can look at further reduce the joy of riding. The folklore of public transit reinforces its situational deficiencies. Some …

Party Affiliation and International Opinions in Britain and France, 1947-1956
In the theory of opinion formation, a central question is the role and effectiveness of political parties in shaping the attitudes of their adherents on current issues. The accumulation of data from public opinion surveys provides an opportunity to test various hypotheses about party influence. The authors of this article have attempted to do this for political parties in Britain and France over a period of a decade and for opinions on issues in …
Community Attitudes toward Fluoridation
A great deal is being said in the press and in public discussions about the need for better education, especially in science, to serve our requirements for highly educated manpower. Less attention is being given to the need for a great deal more knowledge and understanding of science and issues connected with it on the part of the citizens whose opinions and votes profoundly influence national policy. Here is an article which discusses the need f…
