Forgiveness updates interpersonal memories to be less negative
Forgiveness is crucial for restoring social bonds, yet how it shapes impressions of poor treatment remains unclear. Building on memory updating research, we propose forgiveness can change the memory of a negative experience by incorporating information considered during the forgiveness process. On Day 1 of neuroimaging, participants ( N = 23, data collected 2022-2023) observed which stimuli two other participants (or "targets") chose for them to …
Pro‐Poor Governance
Pro-poor policies often fail in their goals because poverty itself impairs the state’s implementation capacity and skews politicians’ incentives, producing a governance trap. An exception is Brazil’s Bolsa Família conditional cash transfer programme, which exhibits consistently better implementation in poorer municipalities with less state capacity. This study illuminates the conditions supporting this unusual pattern of pro-poor governance, defi…

Forging new paths in the development of community mental health interventions for people with mental illness at risk of criminal legal system contact
BACKGROUND: Individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) have disproportionately high rates of criminal legal system involvement. For many, this becomes a repeated cycle of arrest and incarceration. Treatments that address symptoms of mental illness are a critical component of the continuum of services for people with SMI in the legal system; yet on their own, psychiatric treatments have not been successful at reducing criminal legal system invo…
The Impact of Community‐Level Social and Economic Factors on Healthcare Access Among Individuals With Mental Illness
Aims: We examined how community‐level socioeconomic deprivation and residential stability impact healthcare access among a sample of individuals with mental illness. Methods: We linked five years of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS; 2013–2017) with community‐level data, drawing a sample of adults with mental illness in the United Sates ( N = 5444). Descriptive statistics and bivariate and multivariable logistic regression models are pre…
Undermining Clientelism with Collective Confidence
A growing body of evidence suggests that conditional cash transfers (CCTs) can shift voters' electoral choices. Yet there remains a mismatch between reliance on aggregated municipal data and individual-level theories focused on retrospective rewards or reduced vulnerability to clientelism. Since CCTs also produce plausible spillovers on nonbeneficiaries, verifying who reacts, and how, is crucial to understanding their electoral effects. To empiri…
How Does Human Agency Actually Work? On Bratman's ‘Core Capacity Thesis’ and the Relation between Philosophy of Action and the Empirical Sciences
Throughout his career, Michael Bratman has developed a detailed model of individual ‘planning agency’, and, more recently, models of joint action and aspects of social life that he argues such planning agency helps support. How might we empirically investigate whether these models capture what is going on in actual human lives? In this article, we critically engage with this broad question by focusing on what Bratman calls the ‘core capacity thes…
Estimating Lost Dividends from Incomplete Energy Access Transitions
Energy access is often considered a catalyst for development. Yet, the binary classification of household electrification misses important variation in service quality and in how households use electricity. To examine the benefits of household electrification and illustrate the importance of using more nuanced classifications of energy access, this article develops a metric called the Energy Access Dividend (EAD), which quantifies the electrifica…

Are there really any dual‐character concepts
There has been growing excitement in recent years about “dual‐character” concepts. Philosophers have argued that such concepts can help us make progress on a range of philosophical issues, from aesthetics to law to metaphysics. Dual‐character concepts are thought to have a distinctive internal structure, which relates a set of descriptive features to an abstract value, and which allows people to use either the descriptive features or the abstract…

How Politics and Economics Work Together to Limit Development
Few of the facts in ‘Decadent Developmentalism’ will be unfamiliar to even casual followers of Brazil’s political economy: the segmented labour markets that limit workers’ access to social protection; the ability of incumbent firms like JBS to extract resources from the government; or the role of the bureaucracy in taming the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Reliance on a consolidated block of evidence makes it all the more impressive that this book so dramati…

Brokering the Good Friday Agreement
Book Reviews Mary E Daly (ed.), Brokering the Good Friday Agreement: the Untold Story (Dublin: Royal Irish Academy, 2019), 208 pages. For those who’ve been infected with the virus of the Northern Ireland peace process, perhaps as a result of insufficient social distancing, there has as yet been no vaccine developed which is capable of quelling their enthusiasm for more testimony of the kind brought together in this book. It is a series of persona…
Eavesdropping
Judgments about truth, retraction, and consistency across contexts have been used in recent years to argue both for and against the revisionary theses of relativism about truth and expressivism about apparently truth-apt expressions like epistemic modals. We show that we find the same patterns that have been observed for epistemic modal claims like ‘Might p’ when it comes to first-person attitude claims with the form ‘I think that p’. This poses …
Perceptions of the Crusades from the Nineteenth to the Twenty-First Century
Knowledge wh and False Beliefs
A common approach to knowledge wh is to try to reduce it to knowledge that, and in particular to answer-knowledge. On this view, the truth-conditions of a knowledge wh ascription can be given entirely in terms of which answers to the embedded question the subject knows. Against this background, this paper considers the phenomenon of false-belief sensitivity—a challenge to this common approach to knowledge wh that has recently received a fair amou…
Opportunistic Accountability
Conflicting preferences between the state and society underpin most accountability mechanisms by providing a credible way for society to impose costs on the state. Adapting a classic bargaining framework, we argue that broader conditions can support state–society bargaining. Policies that both the state and society value can also enhance society’s negotiating power, provided society has a relatively lower valuation and is more patient than the st…
The Second Crusade
The Second Crusade (1145-1149) was an extraordinarily bold attempt to overcome unbelievers on no less than three fronts. Crusader armies set out to defeat Muslims in the Holy Land and in Iberia as well as pagans in northeastern Europe. But, to the shock and dismay of a society raised on the triumphant legacy of the First Crusade, only in Iberia did they achieve any success. This book, the first in 140 years devoted to the Second Crusade, fills a …
The Third Crusade in Context
This essay will explore a few of the myriad competing tensions of motive, ideology and practicality that were created by, and existed during, the time of the Crusades. The First Crusade was launched in 1095 when Pope Urban II called for the liberation of Jerusalem from the Muslims of the Near East. Four years later, the knights of Western Europe captured the holy city and established a series of territories in the Levant. Over time the Muslims be…
The Crusades 1095-1197
The idea of the crusade remains a potent one.In this compelling account, Jonathan Philips moves away from modern constructs and possible misconceptions of the crusades, to explore the origins and development of the idea in its historical context.Through a mixture of narrative and thematic chapters, the book provides both an outline of key events and issues in the history of the crusades to the Holy Land, and an insight into new areas of research.…

Adulteration and Food Law, 1899-1939
Contemporary concerns about food safety and regulation have important historical antecedents in the Victorian debate about food adulteration which led to the 1875 Sale of Food and Drugs Act, the basis of British food law until 1955. This article reconsiders the optimistic historiographical view of the Victorian food legislation, emphasizing its limited impact on the general process of food production and distribution before the Second World War. …
St Bernard of Clairvaux, The Low Countries and the Lisbon Letter of the Second Crusade
On 24 December 1144 'Imad ad-Din Zengi, the Muslim ruler of Aleppo and Mosul, captured the Christian city of Edessa. This was the most serious setback suffered by the Frankish settlers in the Levant since their arrival in the region at the end of the eleventh century. In reaction the rulers of Antioch and Jerusalem dispatched envoys to the west appealing for help. The initial efforts of Pope Eugenius in and King Louis VII of France met with littl…
Ideas of Crusade and Holy War in De Expugnatione Lyxbonensi (The Conquest of Lisbon)
The Second Crusade (1145-9) was, for the most part, a failure. One of its few successes was the capture of the Muslim-held city of Lisbon by contingents of Anglo-Normans, Flemings, and northern Rhinelanders travelling via the Iberian peninsula en route to the Holy Land. At its full extent the Second Crusade consisted of campaigns in the Levant, the Baltic, and the east coast of Spain, as well as the Lisbon expedition. By far the largest forces we…
