The war in Ukraine
This short article offers some tentative suggestions about how the history of the Cold War and its aftermath as experienced by Central and Eastern European states may inform our understanding of the current war in Ukraine. In doing so, this contribution has no pretensions to be either final in its suggestions nor exhaustive in considering the rich literature about Central and Eastern Europe’s political, economic, social and cultural \nCold War ex…
Land cover transitions and effects of transhumance on available forage biomass of rangelands in Benin
This study examined the effects of transhumance pressure on total abavoe-ground biomass and forage availability on rangelands in Benin. We also investigated the implications of land cover transitions on rangelands over a 31-year period. Our work was carried out in three regions of Benin representing distinct phytogeographic regimes: Ketou, Tchaourou, and Sinende. Ground-truthing and biomass sampling of the herbaceous and phanaerophyte strata were…
The Search for World Order and the Wars in Kosovo and Iraq
In the search of world order after the Cold War, two conflicts were of particular significance. The first, in Kosovo in 1999, was fought to end the Serbian genocide of Kosovar Albanians. The second, in Iraq in 2003, was a war of choice ostensibly to remove the threat of Saddam Hussein's Iraqi regime and the weapons of mass destruction it supposedly held. Although distinct, these wars were joined as attempts by the United States governments of Bil…
Geriatric Forensic Psychiatry
Geriatric Forensic Psychiatry: Principles and Practice is one of the first texts to provide a comprehensive review of important topics in the intersection of geriatric psychiatry, medicine, clinical neuroscience, forensic psychiatry, and law. It will speak to a broad audience among varied fields, including clinical and forensic psychiatry and mental health professionals, geriatricians and internists, attorneys and courts, regulators, and other pr…
Working with the Elderly Defendant through the Adjudicative Process
As the U.S. population ages, there will be more cases of elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation and, consequently, an increase in elderly criminal defendants in the criminal justice system. Because elderly persons appear in criminal court most frequently as crime victims, understanding the problems and needs of the elderly defendant receives less attention. This chapter reviews the cognitive and psychological changes with normal aging, …

First-Class Health
In 2008, a government hospital in southwest Tanzania added a "first-class ward," which, unlike existing inpatient wards defined by sex, age, and ailment, would treat patients according to their wealth. A generation ago, Tanzanians viewed health care as a right of citizenship. In the 1980s and 1990s, structural adjustment programs and user fees reduced people's access to biomedical attention. Tanzania currently promotes "amenity" wards and health …
The Intimate Violence of Political and Economic Change in Southern Ethiopia
In 1960, women in southern Ethiopia's rural Konso district faced a violent campaign by local men to eradicate leather clothing following a ban imposed by the local governor, Tesfaye Hailu. Tesfaye, a man of the northern Amhara ethnic group, banned leather clothes along with bead necklaces and arm bracelets as part of imperial Ethiopia's 'modernization,' which was influenced by disparate sources, including the United States. Tesfaye saw women's at…

Governmentality and the Family
Rather than strictly local expressions of relatedness, kinship in southern Ethiopia has long been entangled with broad political and economic forces as people negotiate relations with each other, past generations, and the state. Accompanying government reforms in the 1990s, idioms of individualism and choice have circulated in transnational and national neoliberal discourses of development, rights, and economics. People in southern Ethiopia who u…
Practicing Ethnography in a Globalizing World
Representing Aztec Ritual
Arriving in Mexico less than a decade after the Spanish conquest of 1521, the Franciscan missionary Bernardino de Sahagun not only laboured to supplant native religion with Christianity, he also gathered voluminous information on virtually every aspect of Aztec (Nahua) life in contact-period Mexico. His pioneering ethnographic work relied on interviews with Nahua elders and the assistance of a younger generation of bicultural, missionary-trained …
Defeating the General
Recent accounts of the resolution of the NATO crisis of 1966 have praised the role of Lyndon Baines Johnson and his administration. This article suggests that there was an Anglo-American dimension to the outcome of the crisis. It shows how the US government sought British assistance to defend the principles of Atlantic partnership and European integration and how the British readily and effectively responded. The result was Anglo-American coopera…
Separated by the Atlantic
The British and French held divergent views from the late 1940s on relations with the United States and on the development of European integration. Differences between the two countries caused particular strain once General Charles de Gaulle returned to power in 1958. The clash that ensued between British and French policies towards the Atlantic Alliance and Europe during his presidency is the subject of this article. It suggests that while the B…
Employing Neoliberal Individualism in Ethopia
Everyone can do as he wants
After the fall of Ethiopia's socialist government, people in Konso in the south appropriated idioms associated with neoliberal economic reforms to describe and to shape their reconfiguration of hereditary status groups, as some historically despised Xauta artisans and merchants became wealthy and some dominant Etenta cultivators adopted Xauta identity. Countering scholarship that assumes a recent break with previously separate and stable status g…
Managing the Americans
The idea of using American power ‘for purposes which we regard as good’ had been a feature of British foreign policy during the Labour governments of 1945–51. In the 1950s, however, Anthony Eden elevated ‘power-by-proxy’ to the status of strategy as he sought a means to maintain Britain's world role in the face of serious economic enervation. In the event, Eden's innate mistrust of the United States rendered him an imperfect front-man for the str…

A Neuropsychological Perspective on Dual Diagnosis
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether patients experiencing both a major psychiatric disorder and a concurrent substance abuse problem (dual diagnosis) manifest greater neuropsychological dysfunctions than patients experiencing a major psychiatric disorder alone. Differences in diagnostic variability and fluidity between dual diagnosis and non-dual diagnosis patients and the occurrence of polysubstance abuse among the dual diagnosi…
