What Is the Value of Urban Local Government? Perspectives on Scales of Governance, Efficiency, and Local Autonomy From Bermuda's Effort to Abolish Municipal Elections
This paper examines Bermuda's effort to abolish elected municipal representation, an extreme manifestation of longstanding debates over the value and role of urban local government. The case provides a window onto widely relevant questions about the value of cities as loci for governance, trade-offs between different definitions of efficiency, and the merits of local autonomy. Drawing on interviews with individuals familiar with the proposed chan…
Considerations for trustworthy cross-border interoperability of digital identity systems in developing countries
In developing nations, the implementation of Foundational Identity Systems (FIDS) has optimised service delivery and inclusive economic growth. Cross-border e-government will gain traction as developing countries increasingly look to identity federation and trustworthy interoperability through FIDS for the identification and authentication of identity holders. Despite this potential, the interoperability of FIDS in the African identity ecosystem …
Notation Is Not All That It Appears to Be
This article considers Roger Smalley’s conception of notation from the point of view of the relationship between playing and writing. It argues that notation was one of the ways in which Smalley understood music history as a history of the relationship between composers and performers. Smalley’s version of music history included several turning points, the most significant of which came with Karlheinz Stockhausen’s music, which changed the relati…
Research integrity, thick and thin
We contrast two value-schemas of research integrity. One is the ‘thick’ ethos of an immersed and ethical researcher. The other is the ‘thin’ rules, responsibilities, and metrics that we use to communicate, enforce and assess research integrity in a widespread and impersonal way. By drawing on philosophical, psychological, behavioural economic, and historical perspectives, we analyse how these schemas interact, with the aim of improving cultural c…
Decent jobs in Accra’s malls? The role of flexibilisation and informalisation in shaping workers’ employment outcomes
Disaster Planning Across Scales
This paper examines rubble management as an important but often neglected component of disaster response and a powerful example of the frequent disconnect between national plans and local action. It focuses on five marginalized municipalities in Oaxaca, Mexico: Ciudad Ixtepec, Asuncion Ixtaltepec, El Espinal, Juchitan de Zaragoza, and Santa Maria Xadani. These constitute the region most affected by the Mexican earthquakes of September 2017, with …
The politics of participation in post-disaster planning
Drawing on interviews with residents and officials, this article investigates how local needs and perceptions have been balanced against other aspirations in plans for Montserrat’s new capital. This new settlement would replace the former capital, Plymouth, which was destroyed in a volcanic eruption and abandoned permanently in 1997. The article finds that residents’ needs and perspectives were given relatively little attention in the planning pr…
Prefabricating marginality
This paper investigates the long-term housing impacts of displacement and explores how these vary across disaster-affected populations. The Caribbean island of Montserrat, an overseas territory of the United Kingdom, provides an excellent setting for examining this relatively understudied topic. Following the eruption of the Soufrière Hills volcano, beginning in 1995, most Montserrat residents were displaced and the island’s south was declared an…
Australian Music and Modernism, 1960–1975
Drawing on newly available archival material, key works, and correspondence of the era, Australian Music and Modernism defines "Australian Music" as an idea that emerged through the lens of the modernist discourse of the 1960s and 70s. At the same time that the new "Australian Music" was distinctive of the nation, it was also thoroughly connected to practices from Europe and shaped by a new engagement with the music of Southeast Asia. This book e…
Urban migration and housing during resource booms
This paper investigates the relationship between urban migration and housing in the context of an emergent oil boom in Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana. The paper responds to the relative lack of research on resource boom-driven urbanization, particularly in Africa, and on the way in which urban migration shapes, and is shaped by, housing conditions. The paper analyzes the relationship between housing conditions and urban migrants' choice of residential l…
When Diverse Norms Meet Weak Plans
In the face of rapid global urbanization, cities are increasingly at risk from major disasters. While considerable attention has been given to other aspects of urban post-disaster recovery, less has been dedicated to rubble clearance. This article examines the dynamics of rubble clearance through a study of how the diverse organizations responding to the 2010 Haiti earthquake addressed this issue in Port-au-Prince. It draws on interviews with 52 …
Flatulence, Filth, and Urban Form
This paper examines whether hygiene priming influences urban density perceptions. Research shows many perceptions are influenced by priming, an implicit memory effect wherein exposure to one stimulus affects response to another. This paper examines whether urban density perceptions are similarly malleable, particularly with respect to hygiene primes. The results, which may have considerable planning implications, suggest they are not. If density …
Competing organisational perspectives on rapid urbanisation and its management
This article draws on the experience of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, to understand better the competing perspectives of international and domestic organisations with regard to rapid urbanisation and its management. Over the past two decades, diverse organisations have converged on Ulaanbaatar to address the environmental, spatial and social challenges produced by rapid growth. Interviews with representatives of 18 international and domestic organisatio…
Urban Impacts of Resource Booms
Will the City Rise Again? The Contested Geography of Housing Reconstruction in Post-Disaster Haiti
This paper examines the contested geography of post-disaster housing reconstruction in Haiti. Drawing on interviews with representatives of 48 organizations, it identifies three spatial preferences regarding reconstruction: urban, non-urban, and mixed. Organizations favoring urban versus non-urban rebuilding differed markedly in their financial resources and voice. Many intergovernmental organizations and large international non-governmental orga…

An Examination of the Measurement Adequacy of the NES Scales for the Measurement of Racially Relevant Attitudes
Objective The objective of the research reported in this article is to determine if the NES scale for the measurement of equalitarianism is adequate for the measurement of attitudes toward equality in the mass public. Methods The analysis begins with the conjecture that the items are framed in terms that are too abstract for the typical member of the mass public to comprehend. As a result, it is argued, each item will not measure the same latent …
Collaboration and Coordination in the Creation of New Music
Christopher Redgate is developing a new oboe for the 21st century and is working with composers to develop new music for the instrument. This article addresses the early stages of his collaboration with Sam Hayden. It demonstrates some of the coordination problems at the inception of a project that includes an instrument with a long history. The article sets out some of the ongoing concerns in documenting this work, arguing that the oboe itself i…
Motivations for slum dweller social movement participation in urban Africa
This paper examines what motivates the participation of African slum ( 1 ) dwellers in urban social movement activities. This issue is analyzed through a case study of grassroots mobilization around evictions in Kurasini ward, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The paper uses an analytic narrative approach to account for patterns in participatory behaviour, drawing on both quantitative and qualitative data gathered through interviews with 81 slum dwellers.…
Confronting Urban Displacement
This article investigates whether urban social movement participation influences post-eviction resettlement success. Pre- and post-eviction interviews were conducted with sixty-four slum dwellers from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, including members of the Tanzania Federation of the Urban Poor (TFUP). The majority of interviewees reported improved post-eviction housing but adverse employment impacts. TFUP membership was negatively associated with emplo…
Reactivation of Organophosphorus Inhibited AChE with Oximes
A Multivariate Approach to the Measurement and Analysis of Social Identity
The application of factor and duster analysis procedures to the group and role identifications of a sample of 141 women results in a set of readily interpretable social identities. The obtained social identities are then related via dummy variable regression analysis to attitudes, with the results being interpreted in terms of reference-group theory. The paper closes with some cautions and suggestions for research
The Motivational Bases of Political Behavior
Drawing on classic definitions of power, authority, and persuasion, this paper develops the concept of the motivational basis of political behavior. After four motivational bases are defined and described, a measurement procedure and a proximity scaling model for empirical applications are presented. A theory is presented which specifies the conditions under which behavior motivated on the various bases will be performed. These conditions have di…
Explorations In The Structure Of Psychological Identifications With Social Groups And Roles
The structure of reference group identifications is explored in three samples of respondents: university faculty, socially active women, and practicing attorneys by means of factor analysis. Despite the wide range of respondents, the results are quite similar across the three samples, with occupation, family, religious, and racial identity components predominating. The most salient identities in all three samples consist of occupational and famil…
