Alternative Perspectives On Conflict History: On The Methodology Of Peace Education And Dialogue, Tatsushi Arai Dec 2011

Alternative Perspectives On Conflict History: On The Methodology Of Peace Education And Dialogue, Tatsushi Arai

Tatsushi Arai

This essay, written in Japanese, is an attempt to construct an integrated framework for analyzing and engaging multi-faceted meanings of history that correspond to different communal experiences of social conflict. The concept of conflict history is introduced to describe a worldview of a conflict party in search of a coherent explanation of the conflict’s origin, evolution, and significance. Four interconnected approaches to conflict history – orthodox, different, mediative, and alternative – are explored to link the factual to the counterfactual, the manifest to the potential in an attempt to expand the scope of historical inquiry. This exercise of theory-building draws …


Course Syllabus: Ppol-G 780/781: Policy Planning And Program Development (Practicum) I & Ii, Michael P. Johnson Jr. Dec 2011

Course Syllabus: Ppol-G 780/781: Policy Planning And Program Development (Practicum) I & Ii, Michael P. Johnson Jr.

Michael P. Johnson

Practicum is an effort to teach doctoral students how to solve problems identified by real-world ‘client’ organizations that generate both practice outcomes, i.e. research reports that are likely to enable practitioners to improve their planning and operations to materially benefit the lives of people and their neighborhoods, and research outcomes, i.e. research reports that are potentially presentable at scholarly conferences and publishable in peer-reviewed academic journals. This course is, in a sense, a ‘capstone’ to the core curriculum that students complete during their first two years in the Public Policy Ph.D program. Practicum integrates knowledge about the theory of public …

National Giving Campaigns In The United States: Entertainment, Empathy, And The National Peer Group, Christopher J. Einolf Dec 2011

National Giving Campaigns In The United States: Entertainment, Empathy, And The National Peer Group, Christopher J. Einolf

Christopher J Einolf

This study presents a narrative history and quantitative analysis of national campaigns in the United States, and analyzes how successful campaigns provide entertainment, foster empathy, and develop a national peer group with norms and networks that encourage giving. Our historical survey found that charity telethons flourished in the 1960’s and 1970’s, but changes in tax regulations and competition from other networks and cable television led most of them to discontinue operations in the 1980’s and 1990’s. In recent years, internet and text messaging fundraising have become important, but benefit concerts continue to generate a significant percentage of total revenues. In …


Bad News For John Marshall, David B. Kopel, Gary Lawson Dec 2011

Bad News For John Marshall, David B. Kopel, Gary Lawson

David B Kopel

In Bad News for Professor Koppelman: The Incidental Unconstitutionality of the Individual Mandate, we demonstrated that the individual mandate’s forced participation in commercial transactions cannot be justified under the Necessary and Proper Clause as the Clause was interpreted in McCulloch v. Maryland. Professor Andrew Koppelman’s response, Bad News for Everybody, wrongly conflates that argument with a wide range of interpretative and substantive positions that are not logically entailed by taking seriously the requirement that laws enacted under the Necessary and Proper Clause must be incidental to an enumerated power. His response is thus largely unresponsive to our actual arguments.


Nine Out Of Ten. The "Losers" In Italy's Long Crisis. Changes In Income Distribution, Effects Of Policies, Rise In Inequality, Mario Pianta Dec 2011

Nine Out Of Ten. The "Losers" In Italy's Long Crisis. Changes In Income Distribution, Effects Of Policies, Rise In Inequality, Mario Pianta

Mario Pianta

In the analysis of inequality in advanced countries it is often argued that the wide array of changes in economic activities, labour markets and public policies result in a complex picture of changes in individual incomes that escape any general interpretation. In this paper the available data on the functional and personal distribution of income are examined and the results of the literature are surveyed providing an interpretation of developments in inequality in Italy, compared to other European countries. The argument is that there is strong evidence that most benefits of the (modest) economic growth of the last decade have …
