Mr Science and Mr Democracy: The pursuit of modernity in China
The exhilarating technical innovation, speed of development and unashamed ambition of Chinese urban centres should be welcomed as a direct challenge to the painful negativity of Western planning. But a Maglev train and a Five‐Year Plan represent only a partial, and one‐sided, re‐engagement with China’s century‐long struggle to embrace and reconstitute the modern. For Shanghai, or any other Chinese city, to take a place alongside quattrocento Flor…

Intellectuals for our times
It is a mistake to think of the discussion about the quality of the public intellectual as taking place in a hermetically sealed box. Many protagonists, inside the box, do seem to prefer to give ku
Diglossia, bilingualism, and history: Postscript to a Theoretical Discussion
Article Diglossia, bilingualism, and history: postscript to a theoretical discussion was published on September 11, 2002 in the journal International Journal of the Sociology of Language (volume 2002, issue 157)
Outline of a theory of diglossia
The 3,000 or so entries in Mauro Fernandez’s bibliography on diglossia (1993) might well lead one to the conclusion that everything that needed to be said on the subject had already been said. Yet, forty years after the publication of the late Charles Ferguson’s historic paper on diglossia (Ferguson 1959), a coherent and generally accepted theory of diglossia remains to be formulated. In his last major statement on the subject, Ferguson himself w…
NGOs' transnational advocacy networks: From 'Legitimacy' to 'Political Responsibility
NGOs that operate as part of transnational advocacy networks face a number of 'legitimacy challenges' concerning their rights to participate in the shaping of global governance. Outlining the legitimacy claims that development NGOs make, the article argues that 'legitimacy' is a socially constructed quality that may be ascribed to an NGO by actors and stakeholders with different viewpoints. NGOs operating transnationally link disparate communitie…
Offshoreness, Globalization and Sovereignty: A Postmodern Geo‐Political Economy
Processes of globalization rework sovereignty as the ordering principle of the international political economy, creating new geographies of power. Such a reworking is most apparent offshore, a site where sovereignty is unbundled. The principle of sovereignty is maintained in the offshore financial centres' legal sovereignty but relinquished in terms of their fiscal powers. This unbundling articulates the state system and the capitalist economy. S…
Reshaping the regulatory landscape: Border skirmishes around the Bahamas and Cayman offshore financial centres
Processes of globalization involve changes in the spatialities of power and social relations. This article develops a theory of regulatory landscapes, as a conceptual tool to aid our understanding of processes of globalization. Regulatory landscapes vary along two dimensions, both of which relate to scale and boundaries and extend from 'bounded' to 'trans-boundary': first, the degree of boundedness of economic accumulation; and second, the degree…

Software for Qualitative Research: 2. Some Thoughts on 'Aiding' Analysis
In this paper we reject accounts which portray computer aided qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS) as neutral and benign. We argue that applying computer software to qualitative projects raises a number of important issues that go to the heart of ethnography. Although we initially work with a distinction between tactile and digital ethnographics, the issues that we raise are not unique to computer-aided analyses. Indeed, we argue that the …

Software for Qualitative Research: 1. Prospectus and Overview
In recent years there has been growing interest in the use of computers within qualitative geography. In this paper we review the types of software packages that have been adopted and outline some of their distinctive features. We discuss the intellectual and institutional reasons for the interest in the software and highlight the ways in which such reasons have shaped the use made of these packages. We argue that only a contextual account of how…
Plausibility, imaginative geographies and a global foreign currency exchange: Comments on Mendez
Ruben Mendez has set several cats among the pigeons with his short artide on the global foreign currency market. In the course of just twelve pages Mendez manages to: (1) effectively critique some aspects of the proposed Tobin tax on foreign exchange transactions; (2) outline a case for establishing a computer-based global foreign currency exchange (FXE) that would lower the cost to final consumers of changing currencies and bring order and effic…
The geography of language shift: Distance from the Mexican border and Spanish language claiming in the Southwestern U.S
This study examines datafrom the 1980 US Censusfor the 22 largest eitles and all 421 counties in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. It investigates the associations of distance from the Mexican border with three indices of Spanish language shift and explores the interrelationships of distance with measures of socioeconomic Integration, Immigration, and rural vs. urban residence. The results of this investigation i…
Diglossia: A bibliographic review
The bibliography following the body of this paper contains a total of 1,092 entries on the subject of diglossia. Entries dealing with diglossia in the classical sense of Ferguson (1959) and in the sense of functional compartmentalization of distinct languages are represented approximately equally. Scholarly publication in the area of diglossia continues unabated as indicated by the fact that approximately one-half of the entries in the bibliograp…
Professional training of child psychologists
The present authors address the need for specialized professional training for psychologists who primarily work with the problems of childhood. It is argued that the area of child psychology is an amalgam of selected components of developmental, educational, and clinical psychology, and further that it is sufficiently discrete to warrant specialized training programs for child psychologists. Questions concerning the particular content of such tra…

Attitudes and Attained Proficiency in Esl: A Sociolinguistic Study of Native Speakers of Chinese in the United States
The relations between various measures of attitudes toward self, the native language group, the target language group, reasons for learning English as a second language, reasons for traveling to the U.S. and attained proficiency in ESL were investigated. Subjects were Chinese speaking foreign students primarily studying at the graduate level in the U.S. It was hypothesized that positive attitudes, especially positive attitudes toward the target l…
Ethnic Attitudes and the Acquisition of Spanish as a Second Language1
A cloze test of Spanish proficiency and a questionnaire dealing with linguistic and general ethnic attitudes were administered to 116 students in their third semester of Spanish at the University of New Mexico. Although the study was relatively unsuccessful in predicting second-language proficiency from attitudinal data, there was sufficient evidence to suggest that a positive orientation toward the local Chicano community was not a prerequisite …
