Democracy and EqualityAnnals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science - Tập 603 Số 1 - Trang 24-36 - 2006
Robert L. Post
If democracy is defined as the form of government dedicated to the realization
of the values of selfdetermination, democracy bears a complex relationship to
equality. Democracy requires equality of democratic agency, which is different
from the forms of equality that flow from the values of distributive justice or
fairness. Indeed, insofar as the forms of equality demanded by distributive
justice ... hiện toàn bộ

Nongovernmental Organizations and DevelopmentAnnals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science - Tập 554 Số 1 - Trang 193-210 - 1997
Paul Streeten
Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are not normally good at the activities
they claim as their merit, but they have virtues that are frequently not
proclaimed. In particular, they rarely reach the poorest, they depend in many
ways on government support, and they are often not participatory. On the other
hand, they are adaptable and suited to promoting self-reliance. Participation
has been used m... hiện toàn bộ
Why People “Don’t Trust the Evidence”Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science - Tập 658 Số 1 - Trang 121-133 - 2015
Patrick Kraft, Milton Lodge, Charles S. Taber
In this commentary, we embed the volume’s contributions on public beliefs about
science in a broader theoretical discussion of motivated political reasoning.
The studies presented in the preceding section of the volume consistently find
evidence for hyperskepticism toward scientific evidence among ideologues, no
matter the domain or context—and this skepticism seems to be stronger among
conservati... hiện toàn bộ

The Promise, Practicalities, and Perils of Virtually Auditing Neighborhoods Using Google Street ViewAnnals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science - Tập 669 Số 1 - Trang 18-40 - 2017
Michael D. M. Bader, Stephen J. Mooney, Blake Bennett, Andrew Rundle
In-person audits to collect data on neighborhood characteristics offer
opportunities to study the mechanisms that link neighborhood conditions to
unequal outcomes for individuals and communities, but the expense and logistical
difficulties associated with conducting neighborhood audits have limited their
use. The images collected by Google Street View provide a promising alternative
for researcher... hiện toàn bộ
Violent Crimes in City GangsAnnals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science - Tập 364 Số 1 - Trang 96-112 - 1966
Walter B. Miller
The urban street gang plays a central role in the imagery of violence currently
being disseminated by the mass media. Testing the reality of this image requires
careful empirical studies of actual gangs. A study involving 150 gangs in
"Midcity," a slum district of an eastern metropolis, and focusing on seven gangs
subject to intensive field observation, reveals marked differences between the

Ethnoracial Diversity across the Rural-Urban ContinuumAnnals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science - Tập 672 Số 1 - Trang 26-45 - 2017
Barrett A. Lee, Gregory Sharp
Scholarship and popular opinion regard cities as more racially and ethnically
diverse than rural communities. However, recent trends hint at the possibility
of less distinctive diversity profiles on either side of the metro-nonmetro
divide. To explore this, we compare the magnitude and structure of ethnoracial
diversity in more than 27,000 census-defined places arrayed across ten different
types o... hiện toàn bộ
The Appropriability Theory of the Multinational CorporationAnnals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science - Tập 458 Số 1 - Trang 123-135 - 1981
Stephen P. Magee
The appropriability theory of the multinational corporation emphasizes the
conflict between innovators and emulators of new technologies. Appropriability
is "high," and innovators can protect their profits more easily for
sophisticated technologies and on breakthroughs that can be transmitted
worldwide through the innovator's own subsidiaries. Conversely, appropriability
is "low," and multinationa... hiện toàn bộ
