Matthew Mahler 《Qualitative sociology》2006,29(3):281-300
Drawing data from works of political non-fiction that help to reveal the moral and sensual underpinnings of political practice,
this paper seeks to adumbrate a sensualist understanding of political engagement. After beginning with a brief discussion
of Weber’s seminal essay “Politics as a Vocation,” I then construct an ideal type of political passion with which to highlight
the inherent shortcomings that plague traditional explanations of political action. My argument is that these approaches are
all vitiated by their reliance on Chinese-box epistemology. I go on to suggest that in order to obtain a genuinely sociological
account of political engagement, one must develop methods that are true to the experiential specifics of politics while recognizing
the conditions that shape the possibility of those very experiences.

I present a framework of banking in which banks’ main role is to monitor their borrowers. Within this framework I analyze
the benefits of diversification and the threats of systemic risk and inter-bank competition. Diversification improves banks’
monitoring incentives. High systemic risk not only hampers banks’ monitoring incentives, but also makes diversification less
effective. I also show that competition lowers monitoring incentives. I match the insights of the analysis with the abundant
literature on the role of banks on the asset-side and provide some implications for recent developments in banking.

Recent discussions of contentious politics have focused on struggles in and over space and place. This article builds upon
these concerns by using ethnographic, interview, and documentary data to analyze the spatial politics of street market vendors
in Santiago, Chile. Drawing upon Lefebvre’s concepts of perceived, conceived, and lived space as well as ideas drawn from
research on space and protest, I show how street market vendors build upon spatial routines, a sense of place, political alliances,
and scale jumping in their self-defense strategies at the local, national, and international scales. The findings illustrate
Lefebvre’s argument that the advance of abstract space (constructed by dominant economic and political elites) provokes resistance
by groups who defend and seek to reconstruct lived space.

This paper expands on the ideas presented by Barth’s article on hidden eating disorders. The topic of eating disorders continues
to be an important focus of clinical work. Applying constructs related to the experience of shame, I explore the way that
feelings of shame may impact an exploration of eating disorders by the patient and clinician.

We study the general class of two-player public-policy contests and specify the asymmetry condition under which a more restrained government intervention that reduces the contestants’ prizes has the “perverse” effect of increasing their aggregate lobbying efforts.

Did the legalization of abortion increase women’s household bargaining power? Evidence from labor supply 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Sonia Oreffice 《Review of Economics of the Household》2007,5(2):181-207
I estimate the impact of abortion legalization on spouses’ labor supplies to test whether legalization increased women’s household
bargaining power, in a collective household behavior framework. Based on CPS data, I find that wives’ labor supply decreased
and their husbands’ increased, which is consistent with the bargaining hypothesis. This contrasts with most studies of abortion
and birth control technologies, which predict a labor supply effect only for women, and of opposite sign. Also consistent
with the bargaining interpretation, I estimate no significant impact on anti-abortion religious couples or on those who regularly
used contraceptives. PSID data yield supportive evidence.

Faced with declining union membership and a growing immigrant workforce, the US labor movement has started to realize the
importance of organizing immigrant workers. Yet the conventional wisdom among many within the movement is that immigrant workers
are “unorganizable.” Based on a case study of a collaborative effort between the United Food and Commercial Workers Union
and Omaha Together, One Community to organize an estimated 4,000 Latino immigrant meatpacking workers, I demonstrate not only
the “organizability” of immigrant workers, but also the fact that they have been organizing themselves, with the help of a
community-based organization, in the absence of union efforts. This case study suggests that in order to facilitate successful
organizing campaigns among immigrant workers, unions need to reach out to community-based organizations and institutions that
have established relationships with immigrant workers.

Social movement theories provide a framework for explaining the post-1990 rise in China’s citizen-organized environmental
nongovernmental organizations (ENGOs), which consisted of at least 128 organizations as of 2004. We use a political process
model, which is based on favorable political opportunities, cognitive liberation, and indigenous organizational strength,
to explain the sharp growth in citizen organized ENGOs. In addition, we employ a world society perspective to help clarify
why the political environment in China became favorable for ENGO growth, and how international ENGO practices were diffused
within China. Our analysis shows that the relatively high status of ENGO founders together with their personal and professional
networks also played important roles in ENGO growth.

In this paper I shall use Winnicott’s concept of potential space to discuss the impasses, which arises when failures occur
in the development of group potential space. Because clinical social work is a service usually provided by public bodies with
limited economic resources, unstable social and political realities are driving many social workers to search for methods
of responding to the needs of many without compromising the quality of the service provided. This requires the acquisition
of increasing knowledge in the field of group therapy, in order to help our clients, who often suffer from disabling conditions,
to become functioning community members. The paper reviews Winnicott’s concept of potential space and Ogden’s formulation
of the psychopathology of potential space, and describes various manifestations of impasses in group work and group development.
Three clinical examples describing therapeutic groups led by clinicians in various public frameworks, are used to illustrate
three different forms of group collapse following a failure in the formation of potential space. A fourth type of collapse
is also discussed.

Forging and Sustaining Labor–Community Coalitions: The Workfare Justice Movement in Three Cities 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This article examines the factors shaping the formation and longevity of labor–community coalitions through comparative case
studies of campaigns for workfare justice in Los Angeles, Milwaukee, and New York. Interviews with organizational staff and
leaders reveal that their decisions to form and sustain these coalitions were shaped by their collective identities, especially
their commitment to social movement unionism, and their context, particularly the sectoral distribution of workfare workers.
We also highlight the role of two factors previously overlooked by labor scholars: (1) ecological processes of niche-formation,
which determined if and how inter-organizational competition was overcome, and (2) authorities’ social-control strategies,
which shaped coalition endurance.

The inverse plurality rule—an axiomatization 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Under the ‘inverse plurality rule’, voters specify only their least preferred alternative. Our first result establishes that
this rule is the only scoring rule that satisfies the minimal veto condition (MV). We then prove that the inverse plurality
rule is characterized by MV and the four well known conditions that characterize scoring rules; namely, Anonymity (A), Neutrality
(N), Reinforcement (RE) and Continuity (CO). Our new characterization result is related to the characterizations of approval
voting and of the widely used plurality rule. We finally show how the axiomatization of the inverse plurality rule can be
extended to the axiomatization of elementary scoring rules (vote for t-alternatives scoring rules).
We are indebted to two anonymous referees for their most useful comments.

This paper analyzes how natural resource interests have been translated into political outcomes in the form of American climate
change policy. Incorporating data about natural resource use and national decision-making, this paper concludes that comprehending
fully political decisions about global climate change in the United States requires us to recognize how land-use interests
in the growth machine are translated into political outcomes. The findings of this paper suggest that, in order to understand
social phenomena more fully, sociologists must recommit to studying the conjoint constitution of natural resources and social
processes.

This article examines the ways that endemic drug trafficking has affected local level politics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Drawing on ethnographic analysis of political exchanges in the 1998 national elections in three favelas (shantytowns), I argue
that drug trafficking has changed the practice of clientelism. Evidence and analysis in this paper will show that the persistence
of drug trafficking in the city has led to the emergence of a two-tiered clientelist system in which politicians make exchanges
with traffickers who then, in turn, provide some benefits to favela residents in return for their votes. This results in an
arrangement that provides votes to politicians and limited assistance to the poor but does little to build the legitimacy
of the political system.

China’s previous contract laws had many contradictions and failed to meet the needs of China’s developing market economy.
Although some problems still need to be dealt with, the unified contract law is more advanced, systematic and plays an important
role in fostering and encouraging transactions.

This paper concerns the author’s countertransference reflections on her work with a gay adolescent who identifies with powerfully
destructive internal objects, including Hitler and the Monster. The author describes her countertransference inquiry through
which she experiences her own potential destructiveness in order to help accommodate her adolescent patient’s rejected and
disowned self states.

Plurality rule is mostly criticized from being capable of choosing an alternative considered as worst by a strict majority.
This paper considers elections in which the agenda consists of potential candidates strategically choosing whether or not
to enter the election. In this context, we examine the ability of scoring rules to fulfil the Condorcet criterion. We show
for the case of three potential candidates that Plurality rule is the only scoring rule that satisfies a version of the Condorcet
criterion in two cases: 1) when preferences are single-peaked and, 2) when preferences are single-dipped.

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate and explain how a Norwegian voluntary, faith-based organization—the Gospel Centre
of Norway (Pinsevennenes Evangeliesenter)—successfully substituted a “network” for “market” strategy vis-à-vis the public sector in order to obtain organizational
legitimacy and financial security. During the first decade of its existence it obtained a unique position in its relationship
with the state, as a separate item in the budget of the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs. The organization operates in
the field of substance abuse rehabilitation, i.e., in a situation where instrumental effectiveness is difficult to assess.
In such a situation ritual or other institutional criteria may replace effectiveness criteria and impression management is
shown to be a successful strategy. Attention is paid to the relevant environmental conditions under which this organizational
change of strategy was successful.

The article explores political meanings in the context of recent economic and political changes in a village in south India.
Cultural constructions of political relations emerged in conversations between the author and village informants in Andhra
Pradesh. Informants perceived decline in the power and authority of former village lords and talked about the establishment
of authority in the new setting. In processes of democratization which had taken place, showing and receiving honor and respect
continued as political and social preoccupations. However, deserving honor and respect has become less a statement about political
superiority and domination and more about individual moral qualities.

Since the 1970s, a number of major corporations have located their corporate headquarters in rural and non-metropolitan areas.
I interrogate this phenomenon, based on a case study of Lands’ End, a global apparel firm in Wisconsin. Much research has
exposed how firms insulate themselves from claims made by workers and communities through organizational and spatial distance
(i.e. global sourcing, casualization of employment structures). Corporate headquarters relocation presents a paradox, bringing
key decision-makers in the global economy into new, face-to-face relationships with workers and communities. Negotiated against
a radical transformation of local class structure, I argue that new forms of social regulation are emerging—in particular,
a hybrid version of the Fordist-era company towns.
