Negotiating Nile infrastructure management should consider climate change uncertainties
Toward a definition of Essential Mountain Climate Variables
The numerous processes implicated in the rapid and profound climate-driven changes that are underway across the world's mountains must be well monitored, understood, and - as far as possible - accurately projected. However, not only are the available environmental data upon which such activities hinge often severely limited, but interdisciplinary consensus regarding which variables should be considered observation priorities also remains elusive.…
Which prisoner reentry programs work? Replicating and extending analyses of three RCTs
Protest Events, Welfare Generosity, and Welfare State Regimes
This article examines data from the Cross-National Time-Series Data Archive and the Comparative Welfare Entitlements Dataset on protest events, levels of welfare generosity (the extent to which welfare protection is provided by non-market actors), and welfare state regimes in 18 advanced industrialized countries across the period 1971–2002. Using a direct measure of protest events in terms of frequency of riots, demonstrations, general strikes, p…
Deporte y guerra en la democracia ateniense = Sport and War in Athenian Democracy
Este artículo analiza la cuestión descuidada del deporte de la élite en la Atenas clásica. La democracia puede haber abierto la política a todos los ciudadanos, pero no tuvo impacto en la participación deportiva. Los atletas atenienses siguieron siendo extraídos de la élite. De este modo, resulta sorprendente que ciudadanos no pertenecientes a la élite juzgaran que el deporte era algo muy positivo y creasen un programa de festivales deportivos lo…
The Standing of Sailors in Democratic Athens
Dans l’Athènes démocratique, les marins étaient tout aussi importants culturellement que les hoplites. En effet, il était clair pour le dèmos que son État était une importante puissance maritime. Athènes était consciente qu’il était crucial de préserver ses forces navales, puisqu’elle menait avant tout ses combats en mer. Pour le peuple, combattre en tant que marin profitait autant à l’État que le faire en tant qu’hoplite, et les Athéniens n’appa…
The "Beautiful Death" from Homer to Democratic Athens
The "Beautiful Death" from Homer to Democratic Athens Nicole Loraux Translated by David M. Pritchard 1. INTRODUCTION From Homer's Iliad to the Athenian funeral oration and beyond, the "beautiful death" was the name that the Greeks used to describe a combatant's death.1 From the world of Achilles to democratic Athens, in the fifth and fourth centuries bc, the warrior's death was a model that concentrated the representations and the values that ser…
Opening access to administrative data for evaluating public services: The case of the Justice Data Lab
As government administrative data sets are increasingly made available for new (non-administrative) purposes, there is a need to improve access to such resources for voluntary and community organizations, social enterprises and private businesses for statistical analysis and evaluation purposes. The Justice Data Lab set up by the Ministry of Justice in the UK presents an innovative case of how administrative data can be linked to other data held …
Riot, Unrest and Protest on the Global Stage
In this collection, leading international scholars examine riots and protest in a range of countries and contexts, exploring the major social transformations of rioting and the changing dynamics, inte
War, Democracy and Culture in Classical Athens
Classical Athens is famous for what is arguably the most fully developed democracy of premodern times and for its cultural revolution, which helped lay the foundations for the arts, literature and sciences of the ancient and modern worlds. In 508 BC the Athenian demos ('people') rose up against a leader who was once again aiming for tyranny, expelled him and the foreign troops backing his attempt, and arrested and executed his upper-class support…
What was the point of Olympic victory
The epiphyte community is the most diverse plant community in neotropical cloud forests and its collective biomass can exceed that of the terrestrial shrubs and herbs. However, little is known about the role of mycorrhizas in this community. We assessed the mycorrhizal status of epiphytic (Araceae, Clusiaceae, Ericaceae, and Piperaceae) and terrestrial (Clusiaceae, Ericaceae) plants in a lower montane cloud forest in Costa Rica. Arbuscular mycorr…
Media Convergence and Changes in Québec Journalists’ Professional Values
This article compares the results of surveys from the 1980s, the 1990s, and the first decade of the twenty-first century in an attempt to understand the evolution of the professional values of unionized journalists at French-language news organizations in Québec during this period of media convergence and rapid technological change. In addition to tracing Québec journalists’ professional values over time, the article examines whether journalists …
Sport, War and Democracy in Classical Athens
This essay concerns the paradox of athletics in classical Athens. Democracy may have opened up politics to every class of Athenian but it had little impact on sporting participation. The city's athletes continued to be drawn predominantly from the upper class. It comes as a surprise then that lower-class Athenians actually esteemed athletes above every other group in the public eye, honoured them very generously when they won, and directed a grea…
Racial Profiling in the Newsroom
This article examines patterns of story assignments at a metropolitan daily newspaper. The study's content analysis documents a form of racial profiling in which African American reporters write stories mostly about minority issues, while white reporters write stories mostly about government and business. Interviews with journalists documented the widespread belief that experience as a member of a racial minority helps the newspaper provide bette…
Cross-Border Crime Stories: American Media, Canadian Law, and Murder in the Internet Age
This essay examines tensions between American and Canadian legal and journalistic cultures through a discussion of Canada's best known serial murder case. The Internet and the rapid global dissemination of media texts have enabled American news reports to cross the border with increasing ease, challenging more conservative Canadian laws about freedom of expression and a criminal defendant's right to fair trial. The most recent case to test these …
Kleisthenes and Athenian Democracy Vision from above or below
This article reviews the recent book of Greg Anderson and contributes to ongoing debates about the significance of Kleisthenes and the development of Athenian democracy. Anderson demonstrates exhaustively that Athens of the sixth century lacked any significant military capacity, making it vulnerable to invasion and a minor player in Greek affairs, and was afflicted with limited and ineffectual public institutions. Thus public life largely consist…
Changes in Canadian Journalists' Views about the Social and Political Roles of the News Media: A Panel Study, 1996–2003
This article presents the findings of a panel study of Canadian journalists, focusing on changes in their views about the social and political roles of the news media between 1996 and 2003. The results reveal substantial changes in journalists' views over the seven-year period. In particular, the analysis documents an erosion of the importance journalists attach to core roles of Canadian journalism, such as accurately reporting the views of publi…
Kleisthenes, Participation, and the Dithyrambic Contests of Late Archaic and Classical Athens
Ancient literary evidence and demography confirms that the demands and opportunity cost of dithyrambic participation impeded non-elite Athenian boys and men from joining a chorus of their tribe. They suggest too that chorus sponsors, driven as they were by their love of victory and honour, recruited a majority or, in most instances, all of their choristers from those best able to sing and dance a dithyramb: the upper class. Participation, then, i…
Sport and Festival in the Ancient Greek World
First launched at the time of the Athens Olympics, Sport and Festival in the Ancient Greek World has become a classic study in its field. The 15 illustrated chapters of this collection not only explore many aspects of the ancient Olympics and the rich programme of competitive festivals in democratic Athens but also the broader religious, social and political contexts in which sport and festival flourished in ancient Greece. The book shows how the…

Patterns of deviance in crime news
Existing research has failed to develop a satisfactory theoretical explanation for journalists' decisions about which crimes to highlight and which to ignore. We proposed that four forms of deviance (normative deviance, statistical deviance, status deviance, and cultural deviance) account for much of the variation in decisions about crime news. To test deviance-based explanations for crime news, we conducted a comprehensive investigation of Milwa…

This article reports the findings of research into the possibility that differences in newspaper coverage of individual criminal cases may influence the behavior of key justice-system officials with respect to those cases. The study analyzed police and court records regarding all people arrested for homicide over an 18-month period in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Newspaper coverage of those cases also was analyzed. The results suggest that the am…

How Readers' Letters May Influence Editors and News Emphasis: A Content Analysis of 10 Newspapers, 1948-1978
Several studies have documented that there is often little connection between reality and press attention—for example, a “crime wave” is as likely to reflect press attention as actual crime. Using information from a large government-gathered database, and cross-lagged partial correlations, this study finds some evidence that letters to the newspaper do influence some editors to write about certain issues and also some newspapers to emphasize part…
