Warmaking and the Citizen’s Stake
The transition to an all-volunteer US military has reduced democratic accountability by distancing most citizens from the human and political costs of war. This enables presidents to deploy force with limited public scrutiny, contributing to the expansion of executive power.
The Oxford Handbook of Administrative Justice
The core animating feature of administrative justice scholarship is the desire to understand how justice is achieved through the delivery of public services and the actions, inactions, and decision-making of administrative bodies. The study of administrative justice also encompasses the redress systems by which people can challenge administrative bodies to seek the correction of injustices. For a long time now, scholars have been interested in ad…
Benefit complaints
Benefit complaints are an important area of administrative justice. Drawing upon available data and information, this article critically analyses the benefit complaints system, which is administered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). It finds a significant decline in the volume of benefit complaints, a lack trust in the complaints process, and deep concerns about the quality of complaint-handling. The article also examines how complai…

Analysing systemic administrative justice failures
This article investigates systemic justice failures within administrative systems and the factors that explain them. Highlighting different conceptions of ‘administrative justice’, it is argued that research has focused upon redress and not enough on how administrative systems operate and the justice problems that arise. After all, this is where much of the action of administrative justice happens. Drawing upon recent and ongoing instances of lar…
Concordia
Kepler Concordia, a new scientific and musical instrument enabling players to explore the solar system and other data within immersive extended-reality (XR) platforms, is being designed by a diverse team of musicians, artists, scientists and engineers using audio-first principles. The core instrument modules will be launched in 2019 for the 400th anniversary of Johannes Kepler's Harmonies of the World, in which he laid out a framework for the har…
Mapping current issues in administrative justice
This article critically reviews recent developments in the administrative justice system; in particular, it considers three key themes: improving initial decisions; administrative review; and the future of tribunals. In each of these areas, some aspects of administrative justice work well, but austerity has presented acute challenges in ensuring the fair and just treatment of people through restrictions upon legal aid; the withdrawal of some appe…
Ecological Monitoring and Health Research in Luambe National Park, Zambia
Classifying, describing and understanding the natural environment is an important element of studies of human, animal and ecosystem health, and baseline ecological data are commonly lacking in remote environments of the world. Human African trypanosomiasis is an important constraint on human well-being in sub-Saharan Africa, and spillover transmission occurs from the reservoir community of wild mammals. Here we use robust and repeatable methodolo…

Hindu Perspectives on Evolution
Hindu Perspectives on Evolution challenges some of the myths associated with the debate of creationism and evolutionism in the Hindu context by focusing on the Hindu religion's take on the question of evolution and design. The major aim of the book is to critically engage the notion of the natural coexistence of Hinduism and science. The principal argument of the book is that, “while those Hindus who denied and continue to deny Darwinism outright…

Report on a Roundtable Seminar
In June 2009, the Nuffield Foundation and the International Association of Refugee Law Judges held a joint roundtable seminar to consider and discuss the role of country guidance in the determination of asylum and refugee claims. In the broader world of asylum adjudication, ‘country guidance’ may be something of a neologism, but in the United Kingdom it has, over recent years, become a well-established aspect of the asylum and refugee status dete…
Consistency in Asylum Adjudication
National refugee and asylum determination procedures are often criticised for producing inconsistent decisions. This article examines the establishment and operation of a new and innovative technique that has been developed in the United Kingdom (UK) by the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal (AIT) to promote consistency in asylum decision making: the country guidance (CG) concept. Since 2004, the Tribunal has regularly produced ' country guidance de…
Do You See What I See? The Impact of Age Differences in Time Perspective on Visual Attention
In young adults, having a relatively long time perspective has been associated with a more abstract, holistic approach to cognitive tasks, as opposed to the more concrete, detailed approach associated with having a more limited or near-future focus ( Trope & Liberman, 2003). Here we studied the impact of age differences in temporal perspective on performance on a classic visual attention task ( Navon, 1977) that allowed for an orientation toward …
Pilgrim Networks of the Holy Shrine of Esquipulas, Guatemala
The Shrine of the Black Christ of Esquipulas, Guatemala, attracts over one million pilgrims annually. This research reveals major pilgrim source areas and identifies key variables associated with pilgrim movement to the shrine. Four data sets were obtained by interviewing pilgrims at the shrine. In major pilgrim source areas, religious leaders and transportation agents were visited throughout Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. Over 60% of the …
Legitimate Expectations and Proportionality in Administrative Law
This book presents a comparison of the development of legitimate expectations and proportionality in European and English law against the different traditions of administrative law. While these two principles are well established in European law,only in recent years have the English courts years sought to integrate them into the common law and have experienced various difficulties in doing so. This book seeks to understand the motivation behind t…
Levels of Personal Agency among Academic Majors
Action identification theory presented by Vallacher and Wegner characterizes individual differences in identification level in terms of a personality dimension known as "level of personal agency." Levels of personal agency, as measured by the Behavior Identification Form, were examined in a sample of 237 college "seniors" representing eight academic majors. The mean levels of personal agency among individuals in several of these majors were signi…

Greenland ice sheet elevation change since 1978 from radar and laser altimetry 1
Repeat satellite radar altimetry gives estimates of surface elevation change for the southern half of the Greenland ice sheet between 1978 and 1988, and repeat aircraft laser altimetry gives equivalent estimates for 1993–1998. Over large areas away from the coast, the two data sets show the ice sheet to be in balance, but with localized zones of significant thickening or thinning. Rates of surface elevation change derived by comparing localized 1…

The Mass Balance of Circum-Arctic Glaciers and Recent Climate Change
The sum of winter accumulation and summer losses of mass from glaciers and ice sheets (net surface mass balance) varies with changing climate. In the Arctic, glaciers and ice caps, excluding the Greenland Ice Sheet, cover about 275,000 km 2 of both the widely glacierized archipelagos of the Canadian, Norwegian, and Russian High Arctic and the area north of about 60°N in Alaska, Iceland, and Scandinavia. Since the 1940s, surface mass balance time-…

A Model for Holocene Retreat of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet
Marine ice sheets are grounded on land which was below sea level before it became depressed under the ice-sheet load. They are inherently unstable and, because of bedrock topography after depression, the collapse of a marine ice sheet may be very rapid. In this paper equations are derived that can be used to make a quantitative estimate of the maximum size of a marine ice sheet and of when and how rapidly retreat would take place under prescribed…
Internal Migration Systems in the Developing World
This volume stems from a course of lectures held at the Latin American Studies Center at Michigan State University in 1974. Several alternative migration models are described the process of rural-urban migration is examined and alternative policies to affect migration are discussed. Some case studies are then presented (ANNOTATION)

Seaside Resort Development in the Dominican Republic
Within the informal sector, legitimate services are provided by itinerant and semi-stationary vendors peddling items ranging from traditionally prepared food and beverages to locally manufactured folk handicrafts and souvenirs. In contrast, officious services are often rendered by the ubiquitous guides, money changers, personal secretaries, “beach boys.“ and prostitutes who cruise the streets and pathways of coastal resorts. Undesirable goods, in…
