Cosmopolitanism in Gal 3: 28 And the Divine Performative Speech-Act of Paul’s Gospel
Galatians 3:28 has often been compared and contrasted with ancient conceptions of “cosmopolitanism.” However, the present study takes a modern, etic approach to the definition of term, based on the longitudinal investigation of historical trends by a Cambridge working group. Seen from that vantage point, Paul’s declaration in Gal 3:28 can be described in terms of the “political cosmopolitanism” that is characteristic of empire-builders in the Anc…
The Speech-Acts of a Royal Pretender: Jesus’ Performative Utterances in Mark’s Gospel
Performative speech-acts were used by successive Seleucid pretenders and kings to create the appearance of power and authority out of weakness. As we have seen on the basis of Mark’s Gospel, Jesus’ used performative utterances in a similar way, and, for that reason, he was recognized as a royal pretender by both sympathizers and critics alike. From the perspective of Mark’s Gospel, Jesus set about to create the kingdom of God by royal pronounceme…
Costly Signals: Democracy Aid Shocks and Political Repression, 1981-2013
Developed states increasingly turned to democracy assistance strategies as the Cold War came to an end. A number of recent studies conclude that such aid positively affected democratization in recipients. But, like foreign aid, democracy assistance allocations are subject to change, sometimes dramatically. In foreign aid, sudden, sizable reductions – or aid shocks (e.g., Nielsen et al. 2011) – can have severe consequences, precipitating conflict …
Democratizing dictators? Non-democratic regime conditions and the allocation of US democracy assistance, 1975–2010
As the USA initiated strategies of democracy promotion to support the spread of democracy, a key element involved democracy assistance. However, some states receive substantial commitments of US democracy aid while other states receive little or none, and the mix of democracy assistance varies in allocation between civil society and institutional channels. This study examines democracy aid allocation, focusing on the role of regime conditions on …
Democratic Openings and Country Visibility: Media Attention and the Allocation of US Democracy Aid, 1975–2010
Late in the twentieth century, the United States embraced democracy promotion as a foreign policy priority, a central component of which involved allocating democracy aid to governments, political parties, and nongovernmental organizations around the world to support and encourage democratization. Nonetheless, as a scarce resource, democracy assistance is allocated selectively: some states receive substantial commitments while others receive none…
Paul’s Comparison of Himself with “the Abortion” (1 Cor 15: (8): A Missing Link between the Qumran Book of Giants and the Manichaean Book of Giants
When Paul states in 1 Cor 15:8, “Last of all, as to the abortion, he [Christ] appeared also to me” (ἔσχατον δὲ πάντων ὡσπερεὶ τῷ ἐκτρώματι ὤφθη κἀμοί), the article τῷ indicates that Paul is referring to the well-known “abortion”/giant, ʾOhyah, the one giant—uniquely in all of extant early Jewish literature—to whom God appeared in a dream-vision signifying theophanic judgment. This casts Paul in the role of a violent giant who, on trial before Chr…
Distributing dollars for democracy: Changing foreign policy contexts and the shifting determinants of US democracy aid, 1975–2010
The Democracy Aid Calculus: Regimes, Political Opponents, and the Allocation of US Democracy Assistance, 1981–2009
To encourage the spread of democracy throughout the developing world, the United States provides targeted aid to governments, political parties, and other non-governmental groups and organizations. This study examines the calculations behind the allocation of democracy assistance, with special attention to the role of regime conditions and policy compatibility in the provision of aid. We argue that both concerns—the opportunity for successful dem…

Promoting democracy in Latin America: Foreign policy change and US democracy assistance, 1975–2010
Since the Cold War the USA has articulated and implemented explicit strategies of democracy promotion. One interesting target of such efforts is Latin America, in part because of the region’s geographic proximity to the USA and of the mixed record of US support for democracy there. This paper examines the impact of the end of the Cold War and the 9/11 episode on the nature, purposes, targets and consequences of US democracy assistance to Latin Am…
From Cold War to Arab Spring: Mapping the effects of paradigm shifts on the nature and dynamics of US democracy assistance to the Middle East and North Africa
Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has articulated and implemented explicit strategies of democracy promotion by providing assistance to governments, political parties, and other non-governmental groups and organizations all over the world. One particularly challenging region has been the Middle East and North Africa, where democratic development and democracy aid opportunities have been limited and constrained by a variety of facto…
The Not-So-Silent Partner: Patterns of Legislative-Executive Interaction in the War on Terror, 2001-2009
The conventional narrative surrounding the post-9/11 “War on Terror” tends to characterize the US Congress as a mostly inactive and compliant bystander, bowing to an aggressive assertion of unilateral presidential authority and power by the Bush administration. However, clarifying the conceptual framework used to examine legislative–executive interactions and congressional foreign policy behavior to account for varying patterns of interaction and…
Countering adversaries and cultivating friends: Indirect rivalry factors and the allocation of US foreign aid
This analysis examines the link between ‘indirect rivalry factors’ – situations in which states are neighbors of direct US rivals, and/or states that share rivalries in common with the US – and allocations of foreign aid to shed light on the impact of strategic calculations on a key area of foreign policy behavior. Blending literatures on rivalry/conflict and foreign aid, the study is situated in the relevant prior work and a theory is developed …
Sponsoring Democracy: The United States and Democracy Aid to the Developing World, 1988-20011
As democratization has advanced in the developing world, developed countries such as the United States have implemented explicit strategies of democracy promotion by providing assistance to governments, political parties, and other non-governmental groups and organizations through a variety of channels. This analysis examines the relationship between democracy support by the US Agency for International Development and democratization in the devel…
Understanding congressional foreign policy innovators: Mapping entrepreneurs and their strategies
Since World War II, a small group of assertive MCs have chosen to lead on foreign policy issues about which they care, without waiting on the administration to take action. Significant foreign policy innovation has been the result. From the coldest days of the Cold War to the changed circumstances after 9/11, important congressional initiatives attributable to a few key individuals can be found. Drawing on an original quantitative dataset of post…

Health risks, medical complications and negative social implications associated with adolescent tattoo and body piercing practices
Tattoos and body piercing as expressions of individuality, group affiliation or belonging, resistance and control have become a normal and popular practice among adolescents. These practices have potential infectious and non-infectious health risks, medical complications and negative social consequences. Long-term effects cannot be predicted. Exposure to tattoo and body piercing through environmental and cultural influences can encourage particip…
Treaty-Making and Partisan Politics: Arms Control and the U.S. Senate, 1960-2001
Because the impact of domestic politics and institutions is increasingly important to understanding foreign policy, the motivations and interests of individual members of Congress are even more important for understanding American foreign policy. Contrasting the well-known thesis that “politics stops at the water's edge” with a “politics past the edge” thesis, we examine an issue arena typically considered immune from the intrusion of domestic po…
Assisting democrats or resisting dictators? The nature and impact of democracy support by the United States National Endowment for Democracy, 1990–99
With the advance of the 'third wave' of democratization, developed countries such as the United States have implemented explicit strategies of democracy promotion by providing assistance to governments, political parties, and other non-governmental groups and organizations through a variety of channels. This article examines one facet of US democratization and democracy assistance in the 1990s: National Endowment for Democracy aid. It draws on a …
Taking the Lead: Congressional Foreign Policy Entrepreneurs in U.S. Foreign Policy
This article examines the characteristics of individual members of Congress who become “foreign policy entrepreneurs.” Rather than simply responding to an administration's foreign policy requests, such legislators try to lead Congress by initiating action on the foreign policy issues they care about rather than awaiting administration action. This study examines foreign policy entrepreneurs across a number of factors, including the parties to whi…
Setting a Course: Congressional Foreign Policy Entrepreneurs In Post-World War II U.S. Foreign Policy
“Congressional foreign policy entrepreneurs” are those legislators who initiate their own foreign policy agendas. These individuals seek to frame policy discussions and mobilize public and interest group interest; to direct congressional agendas toward specific foreign policy issues; to structure and influence the formulation of foreign policies by the executive branch; to revise, refocus, or reformulate foreign policies; to generate alternative …

From reviews: »Scott offers us a new way to resolve an old problem. Instead of viewing Paul's geographical understanding of the world from a merely Greco-Roman perspective, he suggests that we begin with Paul's distinctly Jewish perspective of the world's geography: the table of the nations.

Acting on the Hill: Congressional Assertiveness in U.S. Foreign Policy
A controversy has developed in recent years pitting those who see a resurgent Congress in U.S. foreign policy against those who argue that Congress remains largely acquiescent and uninvolved. This article addresses the disagreement, using a database of congressional foreign policy activity from 1946 to 1997 to weigh the competing claims. Our results show that congressional foreign policy activity has declined over the post-World War II era while …

Transnationalizing democracy promotion: The role of Western political foundations and think‐tanks
Promoting democracy has developed into a common activity performed by a variety of actors in the post‐cold war world. While it is states and international institutions that receive most of the attention devoted to this increasingly important issue‐area, other non‐state actors also engage in democracy promotion. This article examines the activities of two such actors: political foundations ‐ quasi‐governmental organizations established in a number…

The Triumph of God in 2 Cor 2.14: Additional Evidence of Merkabah Mysticism in Paul
In a recent article, Martin Hengel argues that the early Christian interpretation of Ps 110.1 provided not only the most important impulse to the development of Christology in the nascent church, but also a blasphemous enormity to contemporary Jewish sensibilities: the idea that the crucified Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth, was raised and seated ‘at the right hand’ of God that is, enthroned as a co-occupant of God's own ‘throne of glory’ (cf. Jer 17.…
