Influence of Covid-19 Conditions on Resident Evacuation Behavior During Hurricane Ian
Hurricane Ian, a Category 4 hurricane that made landfall in Florida in 2022, presented a unique challenge for residents due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This study examines how the evolving COVID-19 pandemic affected perceptions of hurricane risks and evacuation decisions, particularly the role of COVID-19 concerns in influencing the decision to stay home. The study found that only 4% of respondents cited COVID-19 as the primary reason for s…
US–China rivalry and the return of New Zealand’s alliance politics
China and the Australia-New Zealand alliance
The Australia-New Zealand alliance is a critical element of New Zealand foreign and defence policy. It is especially important in a region that is becoming less stable and more competitive. This commentary asks how the alliance influences New Zealand's China policy. Australia and New Zealand both enjoy significant trade relations with China, and both have sought to manage relations to maximise economic opportunities. Following decades of economic…
Content, Context, and Complexity in Personality Trait Perceptions
We replicated and extended research on implicit simplicity: the tendency for personality judgments of acquaintances to be of lower dimensionality than those made for self or well-known others. Three hundred participants completed the Big Five Inventory for themselves, two well-known others, and two casual acquaintances, the latter four in a social and an academic/work setting. Correlations among the Big Five traits were higher for casual targets …
Black Femme Freedoms
Scholars hoping to reconstruct the lives of African women living around the Atlantic rim during the era of the slave trade must confront both the silence and the violence of colonial archives. Nearly twenty-five years ago, Jennifer Morgan offered a method for glimpsing into the lives of African women through the dissembling veil of archival collections that so often reflect a white, male, imperial gaze.1 Writing in Wicked Flesh: Black Women, Inti…
Contesting Slave Masculinity in the American South
One of the most iconic images of Black masculinity in the history of American slavery is a depiction of a bondman on bended knee. Bound in chains, the figure looks longingly upward to the heavens under a banner that reads, “Am I not a man and a brother?” Originally adopted as the seal of the Society for the Abolition of Slavery in England in the 1780s, that image cemented in the minds of many the emasculating effects of slavery. The idea that sla…
Gender dynamics in high school policy debate
High school policy debate is an academically rigourous and highly competitive US activity—elite debaters often go on to top universities and pursue successful careers. Access to the skills that debate teaches is invaluable for high schoolers, but these benefits are not equally accessible to all. As a historically male-dominated activity, the number of male debaters remains disproportionately high and the activity continues to be highly influenced…
Falling in and falling out
This special issue explores great power rivalry in the Indo-Pacific by moving the analytical focus away from the great powers and onto those they seek to influence. It asks what strategies states and international organisations employ to maintain their economic and security interests, how they push back on competing great power demands and avoid stark choices or being dragged into US-China strategic competition. Articles in this special issue pre…
US–China competition and small liberal democracies
Increasing strategic competition between the United States (US) and China creates challenges for small liberal democracies like New Zealand because competing powers place competing demands on foreign policy preferences. This article asks how ‘the less powerful states’ are responding to US-China great power competition and employs a liberal analysis of state preferences to ascertain that response. It finds that great power demands are mediated by …

African and African American Religions in the Early Americas
This chapter chronicles the relationship between African religious practices on the continent and African American religion in the plantation Americas in the era of slavery and the transatlantic slave trade. A new generation of scholars who emerged in the 1960s and 1970s have demonstrated not only that African religious practices exhibit remarkable subtlety and complexity but also that these cultures have played significant roles in the subsequen…
Strategic Responses of Advanced Economies to the Belt and Road Initiative
Responses to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) have been mixed. Many commentators have welcomed the opportunity for infrastructure development and projects to build economic, political and social connectivity across the region. Others have been openly critical or slow to formulate a clear position. In general, advanced economies have responded less positively than developing economies. This paper employs a constructivist approach to interpret re…

Implications of Religious Identity Salience, Religious Involvement, and Religious Commitment on Aggression
Social identity can affect perceptions of external threats and the type of response elicited to those threats. Religion is a social identity with eternal group membership and revered beliefs and values; thus, religious identity salience, religious commitment, and religious involvement may have implications for aggressive responses to perceived threats to a person’s religious identity. In a sample of 176 Christians, Muslims, and Jews, we investiga…
All God's Children Had Wings
This article investigates stories of human flight in the folklore of enslaved men and women throughout the plantation Americas, and especially along the coastal regions of Georgia and South Carolina where examples abound of Africans taking flight and returning to an African homeland, more than an ocean away. The ubiquity of these stories and their persistence even after the era of slavery reveal a lasting search for a sanctuary away from the horr…
Fear of crime and community concerns
This study investigates the relationship between community concerns (i.e., perceived crime, incivilities, and infrastructure) and fear of crime (FOC) while examining the mediating role of risk of victimisation and pragmatic fear. Gender and ethnic differences were also explored. Data were collected using a proportionate multistage random sample of 3,003 participants from a southern Caribbean island in 2015. The following self‐reported measures we…

The Empire of Necessity
In 1804, one year after Haiti declared its independence from France, another—much smaller—slave rebellion occurred on the South Pacific Ocean. Traveling off the coast of Chile, the slave ship Tryal was heading to South American slave markets when the captives rose up, dispatched most of the crew, and took control of the ship. The rebels demanded to be taken to any “negro country” in the region, but rather than steer the rebels to Haiti, Capt. Ben…
Seeking ontological security through the rise of China
Maintaining global peace as China rises is a key strategic goal of Western liberal democracies. Compared to other western liberal democracies, New Zealand's response to the ‘rise of China’ is notable for its absence of security and political frictions and for the achievement of a series of diplomatic ‘firsts’. Can this be explained only by material concern over the national economic interest as China's role in the global economy increases or do i…
Matthew J. Clavin. Aiming for Pensacola
In 1687, a group of Carolina slaves fled their masters and made their way to St. Augustine, Florida, in hopes of finding sanctuary with Spanish colonists encamped there. When the fugitives arrived in Florida, they found the Spanish to be eager hosts. Hoping to destabilize the more established British colonies to the north, Spanish authorities not only provided a refuge to the runaways, but also protected them from their former slaveholders. In so…

Space for Taiwan in regional economic integration
Taiwan businesses and policymakers recognise the importance of actively participating in regional economic integration agreements in the Asia-Pacific to avoid marginalisation from the emerging economic community. This has been a challenge due to Taiwan’s position in the international system and Beijing’s opposition to Taipei negotiating state-to-state agreements. The signing of the economic cooperation agreement with New Zealand (Agreement betwee…
Markets, Migrants and Institutional Change
Economic development in the post-Mao era has caught the eye of developing and developed countries alike. For the developing world, China and the other East Asian economies represent much of what they are hoping to emulate in their own development projects. For the developed world, China is no longer considered the ‘sick man of Asia’ (亚洲病夫) and is now an integral part of the global economic system attracting high levels of foreign direct investmen…
Institutional Change in Beijing, Shenzhen and Chongqing
Beijing, Shenzhen and Chongqing present very different cases of city development over the reform era. Beijing is an example of an established city with a large existing non-agricultural hukou population that played a central role in the planned economy of the Maoist era. As a developed city, the seat of national government and one of China’s economic and cultural centres, Beijing attracts some of China’s most qualified and talented migrants. This…

Rituals of Resistance
In Rituals of Resistance Jason R. Young explores the religious and ritual practices that linked West-Central Africa with the Lowcountry region of Georgia and South Carolina during the era of slavery. The choice of these two sites mirrors the historical trajectory of the transatlantic slave trade, which for centuries transplanted Kongolese captives to the Lowcountry through the ports of Charleston and Savannah. Analyzing the historical exigencies …

Preventive and punitive criminal justice policy support in Trinidad
An unresolved research question regarding crime and justice policy is the relationship between an individual’s media consumption and their support for punitive and preventive criminal justice policies. The relationship between media, crime, and justice is under-examined in countries other than the United States and Britain and the relationship between media and criminal justice policy support remains less than fully understood in all locales.

Rituals of Resistance
When Sterling Stuckey published his seminal article “Through the Prism of Folklore: The Black Ethos in Slavery” in 1968, little did he realize the impact he was about to make on the study of the “peculiar institution” in the United States. During the next fifteen years, a deluge of books and articles, many of them by the nation's most gifted historians, appeared showing how black culture traced its roots back to Africa. Not a few of these studies…
The Role of Fear in Agenda Setting by Television News
The present research explored the implications of fear for the perceived importance of news stories. It was predicted that television news stories subjectively perceived as more fearful would be considered as more important. Participants were put in the role of a television news editor and asked to evaluate a set of promotional news clips for an evening news broadcast. Participants evaluated all of the clips to determine the degree of unpleasantn…

James H. Sweet. Domingos Álvares, African Healing, and the Intellectual History of the Atlantic World
The first generations of African slaves, translators, and traders who crisscrossed the Atlantic Ocean in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries have emerged in recent historiography as crucial agents in the formation of the Atlantic world. First dubbed “Atlantic Creoles” by Ira Berlin, these mobile bands consisted of multilingual, multiethnic, and often multiracial men and women whose lives offer glimpses of the social possibilities prior to th…

Institutional Change at the National Level
The hukou system was central to the functioning of the dual economy of the Mao years. But even before the establishment of the centralised command economy hukou played a crucial role in imperial and republican systems of governance. It is therefore unsurprising to find that as China’s economy moves away from an overreliance on planning, the state continues to promote a role for itself shaping the growth of the market-oriented economy. Hukou are c…
The Hukou System
The long history of hukou division has had a profound influence on how the modern Chinese state has unfolded. Premodern forms of the hukou system were an integral part of the state building process, the centralisation of power and authority and restrictions on migration and social mobility. State building in the republican era revolutionised the Chinese system of governance but failed to end the age-old use of hukou to govern society. The hukou s…
Hukou Reform for the New Century
Over the last few decades incremental transformation of the hukou system is evident even as the fundamentals of the system have survived and adapted to the growth of the market economy. The introduction of temporary residency permits and new competitive hukou transfer categories have significantly liberalised labour flows and hukou transfer. While recent regulations have sort to standardise and centralise hukou guidelines local officials at the c…
Conclusion
This book has argued the hukou system remains central to understanding the process of socioeconomic change in the People’s Republic of China as it continues to shape migratory and settlement decisions and remains a core aspect of the Chinese development model. Moreover, as China has experienced radical socioeconomic changes in the post-Mao era, the hukou system has been bent to these new social and economic forces. This dynamic process of change,…
