Professional Colonialism
Inherited notarial monopolies function as institutional capture mechanisms, perpetuating colonial extraction across 29 postcolonial jurisdictions. Using cross‐national regression analysis of World Bank Governance Indicators and comparative case studies, this study examines 36 countries and reveals that monopoly regimes significantly underperform administrative systems regarding corruption control and transparency, while imposing property transfer…
Banking without governance
We investigate the paradox of financial sector growth amid institutional collapse in Haiti – one of the lowest-ranked countries in global governance indices. Despite persistent declines in the rule of law, judicial independence, and anti-corruption enforcement, Haiti’s banking sector expanded significantly between 2003 and 2023. Drawing on institutional theory and property rights theory, we analyse how deficiencies in legal infrastructure and reg…
Nou Pa Bèt
This paper challenges prevailing models of governance and state capacity by examining how civic participation functions as a survival mechanism in contexts of institutional collapse. Using Haiti as a focal case, we analyse the role of expressive freedoms in maintaining governance under conditions of state failure. Drawing on cross-national data from Varieties of Democracy and the World Bank’s World Governance Indicators, we find that expressive c…
People are at least as good at optimizing reward rate under equivalent fixed-trial compared to fixed-time conditions
Finding an optimal decision-making strategy requires a careful balance between the competing demands of accuracy and urgency. In experimental settings, researchers are typically interested in whether people can optimise this trade-off, typically operationalised as reward rate, with evidence accumulation models serving as the key framework to determine whether people are performing optimally. However, recent studies have suggested that inferences …
The Stepping Stone Clubhouse Evaluation
The Clubhouse Model of Psychosocial Rehabilitation provides non-clinical social support for adults living with a diagnosed mental illness or self-reported mental ill-health (referred to as 'members'). The Stepping Stone Clubhouse in Brisbane, Australia was evaluated between August 2022 and August 2023 using a participatory action research approach. Data was sourced from member surveys, member interviews, and an existing Clubhouse Member Database.…
Reaction Time “Mismatch Costs” Change with the Likelihood of Stimulus–Response Compatibility
Dyadic interactions require dynamic correspondence between one’s own movements and those of the other agent. This mapping is largely viewed as imitative, with the behavioural hallmark being a reaction-time cost for mismatched actions. Yet the complex motor patterns humans enact together extend beyond direct-matching, varying adaptively between imitation, complementary movements, and counter-imitation. Optimal behaviour requires an agent to predic…
Enhancing Engagement of Fathers in Web-Based Preventive Parenting Programs for Adolescent Mental Health
Few fathers enrol in web-based preventive parenting programs for adolescent mental health, despite the evidence of the benefits associated with their participation. To inform the development of father-inclusive programs, this study used a discrete choice experiment (DCE) design to determine (a) the relative influence of number of sessions, program benefits, program participants, and user control over program content on fathers' preferences for we…
Exploring Community-Based Options for Reducing Youth Crime
BackTrack is a multi-component, community-based intervention designed to build capacity amongst 14-17-year-old high risk young people. The aim of the current study seeks to explore community value and preferences for reducing youth crime and improving community safety using BackTrack in a rural setting in Armidale, New South Wales, Australia. The study design used discrete choice experiments (DCEs), designed in accordance with the 10-item checkli…

Teaching the Next Generation of Transdisciplinary Thinkers and Practitioners of Design-Based Public and Social Innovation
Amidst a wide range of complex social issues and public governance challenges, both in the United States and internationally, there is an increasing interest in the public sector around the idea of social innovation, particularly design-based social innovation. There has been a proliferation of sites and spaces (“public innovation places”) in which designers have joined a multiplicity of actors all working to innovate new approaches to the provis…
The health systems funding platform and World Bank legacy
Global health partnerships created to encourage funding efficiencies need to be approached with some caution, with claims for innovation and responsiveness to development needs based on untested assumptions around the potential of some partners to adapt their application, funding and evaluation procedures within these new structures. We examine this in the case of the Health Systems Funding Platform, which despite being set up some three years ea…
Development cooperation for health
The 4th High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness, held in Busan, South Korea in November 2011 again promised an opportunity for a "new consensus on development cooperation" to emerge. This paper reviews the recent evolution of the concept of coordination for development assistance in health as the basis from which to understand current discourses. The paper reviews peer-reviewed scientific literature and relevant 'grey' literature, revisiting landma…
The simplest complete model of choice response time
Morton Smith as M. Madiotes
In 1960, Morton Smith announced that he had discovered in the Mar Saba monastery tower library a fragment of a previously unknown letter of Clement of Alexandria containing excerpts from a longer version of the Gospel of Mark that Smith called the 'Secret Gospel of Mark'. Controversial since its publication in 1973, this discovery has recently been criticized in print as both an academic hoax and a malicious forgery. This paper uses newly discove…
Prelude to a Divorce? The Prague Spring as Dress Rehearsal for Czechoslovakia's ‘Velvet Divorce’
On 15 March 1968, the Slovak National Council issued a proclamation calling for the federalisation of Czechoslovakia. Two weeks later, as public discussion of this and other reforms of the Prague S
Socialism with a Slovak Face
Exploring the “federalization debate” that occurred in the context of the Prague Spring, this article highlights the diversity of opinions among political elites in Slovakia regarding the federalization and democratization discussions in 1968. The language Slovaks used to call for federalization reveals how they conceive of democracy and democratization, and it shows the variety of meanings Slovaks ascribed to federalization and to the popular sl…
Factualizing the Folklore
Stephen C. Carlson's The Gospel Hoax sets out to validate the long-standing suspicion that Professor Morton Smith, late of Columbia University, forged his famous discovery of aletter of Clement of Alexandria, which quotes from a longer(“secret”)Gospel of Mark. This academic folklore has been passed on like an esoteric tradition since 1975, when Quentin Quesnell called on Smith to make the manuscript of this letter available for forensic testing i…
