Class, Race, and Inequality in South Africa. By Jeremy Seekings and Nicoli Nattrass. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2005. 464p. $55.00. Jeremy Seekings and Nicoli Nattrass present an immense amount of quantitative and qualitative information regarding inequality in South Africa during the apartheid and post-apartheid periods. Their descriptive findings involve assertions that both support and challenge existing knowledge. For example, they con…
A critique of quantitative measures of the degree of democracy in Israel
The question addressed in this study is: ‘How accurate and meaningful are quantitative measures of the degree of democracy in Israel?’ With the increasing use of such measures in studies of democracy, an answer to this question becomes increasingly important. The Freedom House and Polity IV measures of democracy in Israel contend that there is a very high level of democracy, but their characterization is contradicted sharply by the views of many …

Quantitative measures of democracy in Africa
Given the fact that quantitative measures of democracy in Africa are increasingly used in scholarly research, it is appropriate to ask the question: 'Are such measures accurately reflecting empirical observations?' To answer this question, data‐sets compiled by Zahra Arat, Tatu Vanhanen, Mark Gasiorowski, Keith Jaggers and Ted Robert Gurr, and Freedom House/Raymond Gastil are compared with qualitative observations of events affecting liberal demo…

Stability of the Federal System in Nigeria
The Constituent Assembly which approved the constitution for Nigeria's Second Republic (1979–1983) decided that no new states should be created at that time and adopted procedures making state creation in the future virtually impossible. The Assembly's action implied that elite consensus had been achieved on the existing territorial configuration of the federation. Yet events during the Second Republic seemed to belie such an interpretation. To r…

The Use of Sports in Policy Implementation
There is general agreement that sports are used for political purposes. The controversy over whether this should or should not be the case is really a struggle about how they should be used. Those who argue for the separation of sports and politics tend to be satisfied with the existing use, while those against the separation tend to be dissatisfied with the present situation. The positions are rational: each group seeks to use this arena to achi…

The “Exclusion” of the United Kingdom from the Anzus Pact
The signing of the ANZUS Pact represented a confluence of attitudes. Australia and New Zealand were disturbed at the liberal Japanese peace treaty, while the United States wanted the treaty to go through with as little opposition as possible. All three countries were afraid of the march of communism in the Far East. The ANZUS Treaty made the Japanese peace settlement palatable to the Pacific Dominions, and at the same time it improved the channel…

The Ujamaa Village in Tanzania
The Mexican ejido, the Soviet kolkhoz, the Chinese commune and the Tanzanian Ujamaa village have all been encouraged by governments as a means of reorganizing the countryside on a communal basis. Few policies have had so profound an effect on people's lives as have those associated with the collectivization of agriculture. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the degree of similarity in the collectivization experiences

Legislative Personnel in California
WFWTTILE it may be impossible to describe a hypothetical, composite California legislator, the chief characteristics of those who have done legislative service can be isolated and recorded. This study covers the six California legislatures in the twelve years between 1926 and 1938. Fairly complete data have been secured on the party affiliation, education, occupation, previous public experience, age, state of birth, and years in state of the Sena…
Cross Filing of Political Candidates in California
O0N JUNE 5, 1946 many American newspaper readers and radio listeners were amazed to hear that Governor Earl Warren of California had won both Republican and Democratic nominations in the primary election held the day before. Not only was the governorship filled, but also virtually elected in the primary were the Secretary of State, the Controller, the Treasurer, all four members of the Board of Equalization, twelve of the state's twenty-three Rep…
The Pattern of California Politics
Reflections On Un-American Committees
Several times since Salem this country has gone through periods of witch hunting. Most Americans who are conscious of such things are ashamed of the Alien and Seditions Acts of 1798, the curtailments of civil liberties during the Civil War, and the great red of 1917-1920. Today this country is in the midst of a heresy inquisition that already has lasted longer than the earlier objects of our shame. The current witch hunt differs from earlier ones…

Present Party Organization and Finance
P to the eve of the national conventions of 1952, no striking innovations marked either party organization or finance. The same customary national party structure prevailed. In the states, with few exceptions, legislation dictated the form of party organization in considerable detail. Money raising continued in the familiar pattern, with major stress on relatively large contributions from well-to-do individuals, businesses, and groups. Federal la…
