Characterization of Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease in an Older Population
Objectives. We estimated dementia incidence rates, life expectancies with and without dementia, and percentage of total life expectancy without dementia. Methods. We studied 3605 members of Group Health (Seattle, WA) aged 65 years or older who did not have dementia at enrollment to the Adult Changes in Thought study between 1994 and 2008. We estimated incidence rates of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, as well as life expectancies with and witho…
Rethinking Democratic Governance
This paper argues that rather than theorize state building and democracy separately, we should direct our attention to studying the dual construction of democratic states. To do so, we must understand the contradictory relationship between the concentration of power needed to build state institutions and the constraints on this power dictated by the norms of liberal democracy. I present an outline for studying state building and democratic govern…
The Clean Development Mechanism in the Solid Waste Management Sector
The Right in “New Left” Latin America
Over the past decade, there has been a surge of “new Left” governments in Latin America, yet polling data shows no comparable shift to the left among the general Latin American population. If electorates have not followed their political leaders to the left, then it is likely that new right-wing political actors will emerge to compensate for the leftward shift in Latin American politics. I propose a research agenda for studying right-wing politic…
Ironies of Power
The Andean region has become synonymous with conflict and disorder (Burt and Mauceri, 2004; Drake and Hershberg, 2006; Mainwaring, Bejarano, and Pizarro, 2006). Every country in the region has experienced at least one major economic meltdown during the past two decades, and all except Colombia have lived through two or more extraconstitutional transfers of political power (sometimes reversed, sometimes not). Both Colombia and Peru have survived e…
Multicultural Market Democracy
This paper bridges the gap between studies of subaltern social movements and elite politics by asking how political and economic elites respond to indigenous mobilisation in Ecuador. I argue that elites have developed a hegemonic project based around three core principles - multiculturalism, economic liberalism and democracy - that serves to incorporate indigenous peoples into the political system while simultaneously excluding indigenous movemen…

Rethinking the Cuban Embargo
One of history's most beloved and heavily paraphrased literary vignettes is found in Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle's short story Silver Blaze. In this tale, the famous detective Sherlock Holmes is able to solve the unfathomable disappearance of a prize racehorse and the bizarre death of its trainer by discerning the critical importance of an event that did not transpire when it should have. Upon being asked by Silver Blaze's owner Colonel Ross, “Is ther…

Alcohol, Gender, and Cognitive Performance
This study provides support regarding the potential beneficial outcomes associated with alcohol consumption and cognition and that these benefits were not modified by gender or ethnicity
Alcohol, Aging, and Cognitive Performance
This study investigated the relationship between alcohol consumption and cognitive performance in two culturally diverse community-based populations. METHODS. A cross-sectional analysis was used including Japanese Americans (n = 1,836) and Caucasians (n = 2,581) aged 65 and older. Cognitive performance was measured using the Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (CASI) (0 to 100 point scale) and reaction time. RESULTS. Multivariate analysis re…
Cognitive Decline and Japanese Culture in a Cohort of Older Japanese Americans in King County, WA
These results show that a Japanese lifestyle may decrease the risk of expressing cognitive decline over a 2-year follow-up period. Lower cardiovascular disease rates among Japanese may also predispose them to lower rates of cognitive decline. The greater social support characteristic of Japanese culture as well as the role that Japanese language and culture may play in neural connectivity during brain development and/or in mental stimulation in a…
