Disobedience, (dis)embodied knowledge management, and decolonization: Higher education in The Gambia

All governments, regardless of regime type, use sport to generate political support. Op positions commonly seek to exploit sport in order to diminish systemic support. This article identifies three types of domestic sports policies - integrative, symbolic and instrumental, describes the functions of each type in terms of systemic support, identifies the structure through which each is implemented, and relates opposition strategies to each type.

Electoral Consequences of Neighborhood Improvement Projects
The urban politics literature, excepting referenda studies, has ignored local electoral behavior as an indicator of citizen response to local policy decisions. The article examines the possibility that neighborhood improvement projects may result in negative voter feedback if such projects are causing disruption at the time of an election. Public construc tion and voting data were collected for a mayoralty election in a major midwestern city and …
