The U.S. Social Economy And The Commons Model Of Production, Roger A. Lohmann
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
Recent work in Canada and Europe has re-emphasized the place of nonprofit organizations, as that term is conventionally understood in the broader context of social economy. Although not generally recognized by U.S. and international scholars, a distinctive concept of social economy largely compatible with the Canadian and European formulations is embedded in U.S. constitutional, corporate, charitable and tax law. However, its full recognition is discouraged in the current U.S. political culture and third sector studies. The U.S. social economy provides full and robust, recognition of the social, political and economic organizations known as commons, as well as nonprofit firms.

Ambivalence About Social Welfare : An Evaluation Of Measurement Approaches., Jason Gainous
Ambivalence About Social Welfare : An Evaluation Of Measurement Approaches., Jason Gainous
Faculty Scholarship
Research across disciplines, including political science, has embraced the idea that individuals often possess ambivalent attitudes, but there is considerable disagreement about how to measure ambivalence. Determining an effective way of capturing such phenomena is important to our understanding of politics and public opinion. The literature offers several meta-attitudinal and operative measures of ambivalence.

The findings suggest that one …
