This chapter argues for the importance of understanding the role of culture in structuring people's personal phenomenological experience. Such an understanding is (1) important per se and (2) important for elucidating the feedback loops between culture and self, between macro‐level ideology and micro‐level experience. To illustrate, we contrast the “outsider” perspective on the self of Asian‐Americans with the “insider” perspective on the world for Euro‐Americans. We examine (1) the outsider versus insider ...

Standard theory says that a country's welfare is unaffected by being excluded from a small regional trade agreement. But for most products,smallcountries and regional trade agreements do have some measure of market power. Such market power can arise if (1) supply is geographically concentrated; (2) tastes differ; (3) there is product differentiation (such as quality); (4) transport costs are high; (5) the principal importing countries impose quantitative restrictions; and (6) there is hysterisis because ...

Despite considerable work over the last decade, the research community has made little overall progress in solving or even reducing the insider threat. This conclusion stems not from lack of research quality but rather from lack of a framework to understand exactly what problem we are trying to solve. In this chapter I suggest that there are some fundamental questions relating to the insider threat that either have not been posed, or have been posed without sufficient rigor to motivate work towards ...

Issue framing has become one of the most important means of elite influence on public opinion. In this paper, we introduce a method for investigating issue framing based on statistic analysis of large samples of language use. Our method uses a technique called Random Indexing (RI), which enables us to extract semantic and associative relations to any target concept of interest, based on co-occurrence statistics collected from large samples of relevant language use. As a first test and evaluation ...

This paper examines the role of paid developers in mature free/open source (F/OS) communities. In particular it provides a typology for their involvement based on their employment and sponsorship arrangements and elaborates a framework for understanding the dynamics of cooperation developing between them and the volunteers based on their community ties. The evidence presented is drawn from individual interviews conducted with volunteer and paid contributors from the GNOME and KDE projects within ...

Evidence suggests that in research studies involving minority language users, rigour is enhanced when researchers share a common language and culture with research participants and thus are considered to be "insiders". However, it is clear that the use of "insiders" is not always possible and where the researchers and the researched do not share a common culture and language, measures can be taken to ensure that the research is rigorous. Furthermore, cultural and linguistic concordance does not in ...

Those who nowadays work on the history of advanced-level Babylonian mathematics do so as if everything had begun with the publication of Neugebauer’s Mathematische Keilschrift-Texte from 1935 to 1937 and Thureau-Dangin’s Textes mathématiques babyloniens from 1938, or at most with the articles published by Neugebauer and Thureau-Dangin during the few preceding years. Of course they/we know better, but often that is only in principle. The present paper is a sketch of how knowledge of Babylonian mathematics ...

Malta is a small, densely populated, and dominantly Catholic island republic not too far off the North-African coast. Before 2002, Malta never had to deal with many irregular immigrants. Nevertheless, negative stigmas toward “southerners” were pre-existent and seemed to have been around for centuries. This stigmatization was caused by a historical identification of the self of Maltese citizens as Christian Europeans. By 2002, irregular migration patterns changed and thousands of African irregular ...

The construction industry is frequently cited for its poor safety performance. In spite of this, many countries continue to rely on contemporary, prescriptive approaches to improve performance in the sector. In Australia, one such approach, Safe Work Method Statements (SWIMS), have been mandated in construction work. However, there is limited empirical research on SWIMS, so their ability to improve health and safety is largely unknown. This is a significant gap in our knowledge. Recent research suggests ...

Although very distant from the South China Sea, Australia, India and Japan are increasingly taking part in the current geopolitical struggle in the region. This chapter analyses those countries’ strategies through the lens of three approaches: Democratic Peace Theory (DPT), Balance of Threat Theory (BOT) and Regional Security Complex Theory (RSCT).

Over the last four decades, tremendous efforts by international and national mediators have been made to bring about peace that contributed to creating a new Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) in 2019. This chapter attempts to identify the factors and actors that led to creating the BARMM through multilayered mediation, by broadening the definition of mediation from transitional (international-external-predetermined) to innovative (local-insider-adaptive), and elaborating adaptiveness ...

Abstract In order to understand the paradoxical position of the Roma as the subject of both European inclusion programmes and persistent exclusionary practices, this chapter focuses on the interaction of both inclusionary and exclusionary frames used in discussions in the Flemish newspaper media following a human-rights violation. The case concerns the Belgian government’s expulsion of Slovak Roma migrants in 1999 (the Čonka case). Proceeding from the sociology of human rights and the principles ...

This chapter compares the patterns of migration as well as the trends of immigration policies in Japan and South Africa in the recent past. These two countries are regional powers in East Asia and sub-Saharan Africa respectively with economic might disproportionate to their population sizes. The two countries also must reconcile with their 20th century past in order to play a constructive role as legitimate members of the regional communities. Many Asian nations well remember the wartime atrocities ...

Contrary to the predictions of the insider–outsider model, we show that the large majority of outsiders in developing countries support, rather than oppose, protective labour regulations. This evidence holds across countries in different regions, across different types of protective labour regulations (i.e. severance payment, minimum wages, working time), and for different categories of outsiders (i.e. unemployed workers and employees without access to legally mandated labour benefits). We revise ...

This volume examines Florentine society at crucial moments of change that are often treated separately in historical narratives: the later years of Medici government under the aegis of Lorenzo the Magnificent, the four tumultuous years of Savonarola's religious regime from 1494 to 1498, and the unsettled early decades of the sixteenth century. Drawing upon original research conducted during the past decade, it provides important insights into the politics and conflicting ideologies in the city as ...

Man’s march from the cave to the information society has depended on the accumulation of knowledge and its transmission between generations and communities. A distinction must be made between knowledge accumulation and utilisation. Knowledge accumulation and its diffusion in time and space is imminent in humankind. It is the very essence of progress, improving living conditions and quality of life. The role of knowledge has changed significantly in this century. This paper concentrates on a narrow ...

This chapter presents a few ideas and views of the EMS. The analysis of trade and monetary integration has traditionally focused on the implications for member countries, while paying relatively scant attention to its effects on outsiders. A European Community with a centralized monetary system is likely to have a larger effect on world monetary, exchange rate, and macro conditions than one composed of many decentralized monetary policy regimes. Increased global monetary influence is, moreover, ...

Genomics has transformed biology, including our understanding of evolution. Comparisons of the human genome to those of chimpanzees, rats, and other species have generated tremendous insights into the deep history of many evolutionary processes including gene duplication, neutral evolution, chromosome rearrangement, and changes in gene expression. These insights not only enrich our understanding of the history of life, but may also help guide research in medicine and conservation biology. Yet genomics ...

When the media report negatively about an organisation, its employees are not only affected but also a source of information for outsiders who want to find out more about the situation. Because of their credibility, employees can support public relations managers to preserve or restore organisational reputation. In this research, we explore the role of organisational identification and internal corporate communication (ICC) in the event of negative media coverage for employees' defensive and assertive ...

Gustav Ichheiser was and remained a so-called scientific outsider at the time of his life. This chapter shows that this role of the outsider is anything but desirable. Seclusion isn’t a safe place. The costs and downfalls of such a “safe place” are reviewed with emphasis on the tremendous loss of scientific knowledge as a result of it.

In this chapter the authors analyse different forms of gender and class discrimination in Spanish academic institutions. Androcentrism in terms of the structures of academic institutions, the meritocratic system, the rhythms and contents of work present barriers for women advancing into positions of leadership. The intersectionality of gender and class provides different kinds of hurdles and possibilities for women and men from middle-class and working-class backgrounds. Relationships between (mostly ...

It describes social networks and access to resources organized by relational collectives: the different types of people farmers might interact with as part of their livelihoods. In this chapter, relations with other people are described and explored. Other relations included anyone not already discussed in the interview. Other people included peripherals to livelihood ...
