Theory-Driven Evaluation In Action: Lessons From A $20 Million Statewide Work And Health Initiative, Stewart I. Donaldson, Laura E. Gooler

Despite the burgeoning literature explicating the benefits of theory-driven program development and evaluation, there remains a strong need for practical advice, written insights and experiences, and examples from evaluation practice illustrating how to implement this approach. The purpose of this paper is to move the field closer to a concrete understanding of the strengths, limitations, and challenges of implementing theory-driven program development and evaluation in modern human service organizations. This is accomplished by describing the evaluation process, resulting program theories, and lessons learned from the evaluation a five year, $20 million statewide Work and Health Initiative.
Trying To Fix The Development In Evolutionary Developmental Psychology, David S. Moore
Trying To Fix The Development In Evolutionary Developmental Psychology, David S. Moore
Pitzer Faculty Publications and Research
If we agree for a moment that there is such a thing as human nature, we immediately encounter an extraordinarily thorny question: Where does our nature come from? This question drives David Bjorklund and Anthony Pellegrini’s new book The Origins of Human Nature: Evolutionary Developmental Psychology. The question is so challenging, in part, because human nature reflects at least two conceptually distinct processes: evolution and development. The former, which operates across generations, allows the continued existence of characteristics that permitted survival and reproduction in our ancestors; the latter, which operates during a person’s lifetime, contributes to the appearance of …
Understanding Policy Change In Developing Countries: The Spheres Of Influence Framework, Paul F. Steinberg
Understanding Policy Change In Developing Countries: The Spheres Of Influence Framework, Paul F. Steinberg
All HMC Faculty Publications and Research
National policy reform is a prerequisite for improved stewardship of the global environment and figures prominently among the goals of international environmental diplomacy and transnational advocacy campaigns. Yet research on global environmental politics has proceeded absent models of policy change in developing countries, where most of the planet's people, land, and biological diversity are found. In this article I present a theoretical framework to explain the domestic responses of developing countries to global environmental concerns. Drawing on research in Costa Rica and Bolivia, I situate the impact of global environmentalism in the context of complex, decades-long domestic struggles to create …
Reducing Automobile Emissions In Southern California: The Dance Of Public Policies And Technological Fixes, Rudi Volti
Reducing Automobile Emissions In Southern California: The Dance Of Public Policies And Technological Fixes, Rudi Volti
Pitzer Faculty Publications and Research
For many years I have taught at a small liberal arts college in Southern California. When first-year students arrived at the college in the early 1970s, they settled into the usual things that occupy freshmen. A few weeks would go by, and then they would make a remarkable discovery: tall mountains would appear to the north as autumn weather dissipated the heavy blanket of smog that had obscured them. Today, the air is not perfectly clear in September, but students are aware of the mountains from the day they move into the dormitories. The region's partial victory over smog illustrates …

The Political Economy Of Perverse Financial Liberalization: Examples From The Asian Crisis, Nancy Neiman Auerbach, Thomas D. Willett
Scripps Faculty Publications and Research
Debates continue to rage about the causes of recent currency and financial crises around the globe and their implications for the desirability of domestic and international financial liberalization. Beneath the heated exchanges of the most vocal disputants, a quiet consensus is beginning to emerge among serious scholars and policy officials. The big lesson from these crises is that while financial liberalization is still a desirable goal, it must be approached very carefully. It’s not just that without the proper pre-conditions liberalization will not provide full benefits. The results can sometimes be disastrous. What was once considered to be an arcane …
The Pros And Cons Of North American Monetary Integration, Sven W. Arndt
The Pros And Cons Of North American Monetary Integration, Sven W. Arndt
CMC Faculty Publications and Research
This study examines the major arguments for and against enhanced monetary integration in North America, with particular emphasis on the Canadian perspective. In this context, the question is whether the current floating rate regime should be replaced by greater fixity of exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar. While the choice among fixed rate systems is wide in principle, for practical purposes the Canadian debate centres on the pros and cons of monetary union. As other countries in the northern hemisphere may be reluctant to embrace monetary union, the following discussion also examines other potential candidate regimes, including currency …
Production Sharing And Singapore’S Global Competitiveness, Sven W. Arndt
Production Sharing And Singapore’S Global Competitiveness, Sven W. Arndt
CMC Faculty Publications and Research
Singapore has made spectacular progress in recent decades in pushing its economy into the world's top ranks. One important payoff has been a substantial rise in living standards. Among the main drivers behind this accomplishment have been entrepot trade, which exploits an important natural comparative advantage, on the one hand, and enlightened education, social, and economic policies, which have built up man-made comparative advantage based on human capital, on the other.
Grenades, Robert J. Bunker
Grenades, Robert J. Bunker
CGU Faculty Publications and Research
Grenades have been in existence since the 15th century and are generally used in tandem with infantry small arms for siege (trench) and urban warfare. These devices also provide the basis for numerous forms of booby traps used in both conventional and unconventional warfare.

Unarmored Fighting Vehicles, Robert J. Bunker
CGU Faculty Publications and Research
Unarmored fighting vehicles are a form of military fighting vehicle used in scouting, raiding, perimeter defense, terrain seizure, ambushes, and, in some instances, indirect artillery support. They are also used in noncombat roles such as personnel and cargo transport, ammunition resupply, and general hauling.

Mortars are normally employed when artillery and air strikes are either impractical and/or unavailable. Two families of mortars exist: essentially, early and modern.
