Keeping a modeling-driven public health dashboard relevant—lessons learned from the California Communicable diseases Assessment Tool
Researchers rapidly developed modeling-based dashboards to support the global COVID-19 pandemic response, and this output has continued for other public health responses. These dashboards are often abandoned or deprecated over time, creating challenges for public health jurisdictions that would like to leverage them for decision-making. Maintaining a relevant and sustainable dashboard requires significant effort and attention to collating modelin…
Just Talk? International Migration, Cross-Border Communication and Political Tolerance in Latin America
How does communication between immigrants from Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries to the United States (émigrés) and their household members who continue to live in LAC (stayers) influence stayers' political tolerance? Using survey data from the Americas Barometer, we find that cross-border communication strengthens stayers' political tolerance. We argue that this is because international emigration diversifies the social context and co…
Assessing the accuracy of California county level Covid-19 hospitalization forecasts to inform public policy decision making
Ensemble model predictions could be improved by incorporating geographic heterogeneity in model coverage and performance. Consistency in model reporting and improved model validation can strengthen the role of infectious disease forecasting in real-time public health decision making

Freedom of information in times of crisis: The case of Mexico's war on drugs
Transparency guarantees in Mexico presented a serious challenge to its 2007–2012 war on drugs. We use an original database of access to information requests, including both petitions for information and appeals to IFAI. We conduct statistical tests on the databases, finding that transparency is lower on security issues, as expected, but that there are unexpected variations between security agencies, and over time. We then conduct a content analys…
Resources
This chapter examines the persistence of the top-down foreign funding resource pattern for local human rights organizations (LHROs) in the global South. Local publics have generally high levels of support for human rights ideas and organizations, and they do make donations to other causes. Despite this high potential for local donations, almost all LHRO funding flows from northern institutions. Part of the explanation lies in socially constructed…
Cautious Optimism
This chapter discusses key findings of the preceding chapters and presents some directions for future research. While public opinion in the global South is far from monolithic, this research found relative favor for human rights ideas and organizations, suggesting deeper grassroots support than many critics allege or practitioners fear. However, the preceding chapters also argued that this general public good will has not been fully harnessed or …
Reach
This chapter analyzes the diffusion of human rights consciousness among global South publics. Survey data reveal broad diffusion of human rights discourse, as respondents report hearing “human rights” regularly in their lives. Actual engagement with organized human rights activities is much lower, however, as knowledge about, contact with, and participation in human rights organizations is relatively rare. Concerning to those who hope the human r…
Religion
This chapter explores the complex relationship between religiosity and human rights. Publics in Mexico, Morocco, India, and Nigeria are deeply religious, yet human rights practitioners struggle to identify the most effective methods to engage with religious worldviews and institutions. The chapter presents evidence for human rights conceptualizations that are unique to particular religious traditions. For example, Catholics are more likely to hav…
Public Opinion and Human Rights
This chapter first sets out the book’s purpose, which is to examine the interaction between global South publics and human rights ideas and organizations. This chapter underscores the importance of the book’s key concepts: human rights, local human rights organizations, and public opinion. The chapter then discusses the four case studies—India, Mexico, Morocco, and Nigeria—that are the focus of the present inquiry, and explains why these countrie…
Taking Root: Human Rights and Public Opinion in the Global South
The number of rights organizations worldwide has grown exponentially, as the term “human rights” becomes increasingly common among politicians and civil society activists. As international donors pour money into global human rights promotion, many governments—as well as scores of scholars and activists—fear a subtle, Western-led campaign for political, economic, and cultural domination. This book asks: What do publics in the global South think? D…
Talk Without Borders: Why Political Discussion Makes Latin Americans With Relatives Abroad More Critical of Their Democracies
Mulling over politics with others can change citizens’ political beliefs and choices. Is the effect of interpersonal political discussion different when one of the interlocutors has a family member living abroad—that is, is a “transnational household member” (THM)? Using data from 20 Latin American countries in the 2006-2008 AmericasBarometer, we show that talking about politics makes THMs less satisfied with their democracies and less proud of t…
Visible Signs: An Introduction to Semiotics in the Visual Arts
Visible Signs: An Introduction to Semiotics in the Visual Arts (second edition) is an update to the popular first edition, which introduces design students and practitioners to the fundamentals of semiotics. Basic semiotic theories are taught in most art schools as part of a contextual studies program, but many students find it difficult to understand how these ideas might impact on their own practice. This book explains semiotic terms and theori…
Can Human Rights Organizations in the Global South Attract More Domestic Funding
Human rights groups in global South countries rely heavily, but not exclusively, on funds from abroad, and this pattern has created a number of vulnerabilities. Conventional explanations for this pattern include political repression, poverty, and cultural particularity. We argue that these do not tell the whole story, however, and offer evidence that local rights groups receive more public support than many assume. Other, less common, explanation…
Rights trap or amplifier? Crime and attitudes toward local human rights organizations in Mexico
Just as Mexico—particularly civil society—has joined the rights revolution, a crime wave is convulsing the country. Local human rights organizations (LHROs) are crucial intercessors on behalf of citizens. Public trust is vital for LHROs to be effective, especially in their tasks of promoting police and justice reform. How does crime affect trust in LHROs? Does it reduce trust, leading to a “rights trap” in which lack of citizen support wrests leg…
Universal values, foreign money: Funding local human rights organizations in the global south
Local human rights organizations (LHROs) are key domestic and transnational actors, modifying, diffusing, and promoting liberal norms; mobilizing citizens; networking with the media and activists; and pressuring governments to implement international commitments. These groups, however, are reliant on international funds. This makes sense in politically repressive environments, where potential donors fear government retaliation, but is puzzling el…
Different Pedagogy, Different Politics: High School Learning Opportunities and Youth Political Engagement
Using data from an original two‐wave panel survey of California high school students and a two‐wave panel survey of high school students in Chicago, we find that different pedagogical approaches influence different forms of civic and political engagement. Specifically, controlling for prior levels of engagement and demographic factors, we find that open discussion of societal issues promotes engagement with political issues and elections. In cont…
The Party's Over: Citizen Conceptions of Democracy and Political Dissatisfaction in Mexico
Mexicans are disenchanted with democracy?or at least with democracy in their country. A decade after the watershed 2000 presidential contest, they are already deeply distrustful of institutions and actors, politicians, parties, and parliament. The contrast with the heady optimism of the 1990s could not be greater. Former President Ernesto Zedillo described the 1997 midterm elections, when the opposition wrested Congress from the long-ruling Insti…
Do Migrants Remit Democracy? International Migration, Political Beliefs, and Behavior in Mexico
International migrants are agents of democratic diffusion. They spread attitudes and behaviors absorbed in democratic host countries to their less democratic home countries by way of three processes: (a) migrant returns, (b) cross-border communication between migrants still abroad and their friends and family back home, and (c) migrant information networks in high-volume migration-producing communities. Marshaling data from an original June 2006 …

Crossing Party Lines: Volatility and Ticket Splitting in Mexico (1994-2000)
This article aims to amplify our portrait of the Mexican electorate by examining the ways in which Mexican electors distributed their votes among the parties during 1994–2000, both over successive elections (volatility) and in the same election (ballot splitting). Aggregate and survey data revealed that Mexicans engaged in these two forms of electoral behaviour frequently, indicators of an electorate in flux. Regression analysis indicated that, c…
