title: Die Bedeutung der UNO Mission UNTAC für den Frieden und die demokratische Entwicklung in Kambodscha
Creators: name: Palfrader, Susanna
Year: 2011

description: Die UNO Mission UNTAC war für die Befriedung des jahrzehntelang andauernden Bürgerkriegs und die Demokratisierung des politisch höchst instabilen Kambodschas von zentraler Bedeutung. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die komplizierte Konfliktkonstellation und die Performance der Vereinten Nationen im Land. Der liberal internationalistischen Perspektive folgend, werden Frieden und Demokratie in idealistischer Tradition definiert und von einem begründbaren Zusammenhang beider Begrifflichkeiten zueinander ausgegangen. Die universelle Gültigkeit menschenrechtlicher Prinzipien wird hier ebenso angenommen, wie die Anwendbarkeit liberaler demokratischer Konzeptionen. Der UNO gelang es freie und faire Wahlen in einem Land abzuhalten, das jeder demokratischen Tradition entbehrt und gab dem Volk damit erstmals die Möglichkeit der politischen Partizipation. Weil die Wahl an dieser Stelle als zentrale demokratische Institution begriffen wird, kann von einer eindeutigen politischen Zäsur gesprochen werden. Da es der, durch die (von der UNO geleiteten) Wahlen legitimierten Regierung in weiterer Folge gelang, die kooperationsunwillige Guerilla der Roten Khmer zu zerschlagen, ist auch die langfristige Befriedung des kriegerischen Konflikts als indirektes Ergebnis der UNTAC zu werten.Die Einleitung des politischen Transitionsprozesses in Kambodscha durch die Vereinten Nationen führt zur Diagnose eines Erfolgs der Mission, wenn auch Teile des Mandats in seiner ursprünglichen Form nicht realisiert werden konnten.
description: It is without a doubt that the United Nation’s transitional authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) had a direct impact on the pacification of the country which was characterized by decades of civil war and led to democratization of the politically instable system.This analysis tries to examine the complexity of the conflict constellation as well as the performance of the United Nations in Cambodia. Follwing a liberal internationalistic assumption, peace and democracy are defined in an idealistic manner and a justifiable connection between both is supposed. The United Nations achieved to conduct free and fair elections, in a country without any democratic tradition and provided the possibility of political participation to a people completely unfirm to it. Since elections are considered a clear sign of a democratic system, their installation clearly means a political cesura. With the accomplishment of legitimizing a government which was capable to act and managed to destroy the non-cooperative guerillas of the Khmer Rouge, the long-lasting pacification of the conflict can be seen as a result of the UN’s performance as well. Even though parts of the original mandate failed, all in all the installation of a transitional process in Cambodia by the United Nations can be diagnosed as the completion of a successful mission.

Democracy 'with Adjectives': Conceptual Innovations in Comparative Research
Creators: name: Collier, David
name: Levitsky, Steven
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 The recent trend toward democratization in countries throughout the globe has challenged scholars to pursue two potentially contradictory goals: to develop a differentiated conceptualization of democracy that captures the diverse experiences of these countries; and to extend the analysis to this broad range of cases without 'stretching' the concept. This paper argues that this dual challenge has led to a proliferation of conceptual innovations, including hundreds of subtypes of democracy-i.e., democracy 'with adjectives.' The paper explores the strengths and weaknesses of three important strategies of innovation that have emerged: 'precising' the definition of democracy; shifting the overarching concept with which democracy is associated; and generating various forms of subtypes. Given the complex structure of meaning produced by these strategies for refining the concept of democracy, we conclude by offering an old piece of advice with renewed urgency: It is imperative that scholars situate themselves in relation to this structure of meaning by clearly defining and explicating the conception of democracy they are employing.

 Resumen

 La reciente corriente de democratización en países de todo el mundo ha movido a los especialistas a perseguir dos metas potencialmente contradictorias: desarrollar una conceptualización diferenciada de la democracia que capture las diversas experiencias de estos países; y extender el análisis a este amplio rango de casos sin 'estirar' el concepto. Este texto sostiene que este doble desafío ha llevado a la proliferación de innovaciones conceptuales, incluyendo cientos de subtipos de democracia-esto es, democracia 'con adjetivos.' El texto explora las fortalezas y debilidades de tres importantes estrategias de innovación que han emergido: 'precisar' la definición de democracia; cambiar la noción abarcadora con la cual se asocia a la democracia; y generar varias formas de subtipos. Dada la compleja estructura de significado producida por estas estrategias de refinamiento del concepto de democracia, concluimos ofreciendo, con renovada urgencia, un viejo consejo: Es imperativo que los especialistas se sitúen en relación a esta estructura de significado a través de una definición y explicación claras de la concepción de democracia que están empleando.

Church-State Reciprocity in Contemporary Brazil: The Convening of the International Eucharistic Congress of 1955 in Rio de Janeiro
Creators: name: Serbin, Kenneth
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 Focusing on government support for the 36th International Eucharistic Congress of 1955 in Rio de Janeiro, this paper explores the reciprocities between church and state in contemporary Brazil. It argues that economic considerations were central to the link between religion and politics. Under the crucial church-state pact fostered under President Getúlio Vargas and nurtured throughout the democratic-populist era (1930-64) public subsidies helped the church expand its social and religious works and created dependence on the state. The International Eucharistic Congress highlighted how finances and faith mingled in Brazil's complex mosaic of religion, politics, and society. The paper discusses the history of the Eucharistic congresses, analyzes the church-state pact in Brazil, and gives an account of the 1955 Congress and its economic ramifications.

 Resumen

 Usando como enfoque o apoio governamental ao 36o Congresso Eucarístico Internacional no Rio de Janeiro, o presente artigo investiga as reciprocidades entre igreja e estado no Brasil contemporâneo. Argumenta que as considerações econômicas foram um ponto central no elo entre religião e política. Sob o crucial pacto igreja-estado criado pelo Presidente Getúlio Vargas e estimulado durante toda a época democrático-populista (1930-64), as subvenções públicas ajudaram a igreja a expandir suas obras sociais e religiosas e portanto fizeram com que ela dependesse do estado. O Congresso Eucarístico Internacional realça como se misturaram fé e finanças no complexo mosaico de religião, política, e sociedade no Brasil. Este artigo apresenta a história dos congressos eucarísticos, analisa o pacto igreja-estado no Brasil, e explica o Congresso de 1955 e suas implicações econômicas.

description: Farmers in low-income countries suffer from several challenges that prevent them from achieving higher yields and generating economic gains. Improved agricultural technology can help remove some of the existing obstacles to high agricultural productivity. This paper evaluates an agricultural intervention that provided groundnut farmers in rural Bangladesh with comprehensive recommendations on Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), and agronomical suggestions. Using reduced form econometric analyses, we assess the impact of the training program on input usage and yield. Our findings indicate that when farmers receive training on several technologies together, they tend to adopt only the lowcost ones, making such a training program less effective due to the non-adoption of the potentially more beneficial higher-cost technologies. We find significant changes (based on recommendations) in the usage of traditional inputs, but not in new ones. The adjustments in traditional inputs are easier to remember and cheaper to implement. We construct a simple model to show that the learning costs are high for new inputs, leading to selective adoption. Policy recommendations include simplifying complex training into manageable components and implementing strategies to reduce the learning costs associated with new inputs.
Disaggregating Political Regime: Conceptual Issues in the Study of Democratization
Creators: name: Munck, Gerardo
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 The increasingly global scope of democratization has challenged comparativists to engage in crossregional research as part of a collective enterprise. The response to such a challenge, however, hinges upon their ability to both base their research on a set of clear concepts, a prerequisite for theory-building, and clarify their method of case selection, a prerequisite for theory-testing. While these conceptual issues have yet to be fully resolved, I show how the work of a group of 'regime analysts' provides the best starting point for scholars interested in this enterprise. For this purpose, I show how the disaggregation of the concept of political regime provides the basis for a distinction among three analytically separable problems--the process of transition, the outcome of this process of transition, and the process of consolidation--and for more nuanced distinctions in terms of modes of transition, regime types and subtypes, and degrees of consolidation. I also show how the problem of conceptual stretching is avoided by regime analysts in the course of case selection through the vertical organization of their concepts along a ladder of generality and the application of a simple rule. Finally, I show how the study of political regimes on the basis of quantitative indices of democracy fails to avoid the problems of conceptual conflation and conceptual stretching.

 Resumen

 El cada vez mayor alcance global de la democratización ha alentado a los comparativistas a participar en investigaciones interregionales como parte de un proyecto colectivo. Sin embargo, la respuesta a este reto depende, por un lado, de su capacidad de basar su investigación en un conjunto de conceptos claros, lo cual constituye un prerequisito para la formulación teórica y, por el otro, de aclarar su método de selección de casos, lo cual constituye un prerequisito para la comprobación de la teoría. Aunque estas cuestiones conceptuales están aún por resolverse completamente, me permito mostrar como el trabajo de un grupo de 'analistas de régimen' proporciona el mejor punto de partida para los estudiosos interesados en este proyecto. Para este propósito, muestro como la desagregación del concepto de régimen político proporciona la base para distinguir entre tres problemas analíticamente separables, el proceso de transición, el resultado de este proceso de transición y el proceso de consolidación, y para introducir matices en términos de modos de transición, tipos y subtipos de regímenes y grados de consolidación. También muestro como los analistas de régimen evitan el problema del alargamiento conceptual en el proceso de la selección de casos mediante la organización vertical de sus conceptos a lo largo de una escala de generalidad y la aplicación de una regla sencilla. Finalmente muestro como el estudio de los regímenes políticos a partir de índices cuantitativos de democracia no logra evitar los problemas de la combinación conceptual y del alargamiento conceptual.
Changes in the International Distribution of Income

Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 This paper attempts to assess the extent of income inequality among nations and the development of international inequality over the last three decades. After a brief introductory discussion of changes in the economic policies of industrialized countries towards poor countries and corresponding changes in the attitudes of economists, the author goes on to give an impression of the actual state of the international income distribution and mention some general problems of such comparisons. In the third section he computes an inequality index to describe the development of the international income distribution over time and presents some decompositions. The fourth section investigates the robustness of the results, and the fifth section presents an extension to world-wide inequality and reflects briefly on the significance of the results.

 Resumen

 Este texto evalúa la magnitud de la desigualdad en el ingreso entre las naciones y el desarrollo de la desigualdad internacional en las últimas tres décadas. Luego de una breve discusión introductoria de los cambios en las políticas de los países industrializados hacia los países pobres y de los correspondientes cambios en las actitudes de los economistas, el autor pasa a dar una impresión del estado actual de la distribución internacional del ingreso y a mencionar algunos de los problemas generales de tales comparaciones. En la tercera sección el autor calcula un índice de desigualdad para describir el desarrollo a través del tiempo de la distribución internacional del ingreso y presenta algunas descomposiciones. La cuarta sección investiga la robustez de los resultados. La quinta sección los extiende en términos de desigualdad mundial y reflexiona brevemente sobre su significación.

A function space framework for structural total variation regularization with applications in inverse problems

description: In this work, we introduce a function space setting for a wide class of structural/weighted total variation (TV) regularization methods motivated by their applications in inverse problems. In particular, we consider a regularizer that is the appropriate lower semi-continuous envelope (relaxation) of a suitable total variation type functional initially defined for sufficiently smooth functions. We study examples where this relaxation can be expressed explicitly, and we also provide refinements for weighted total variation for a wide range of weights. Since an integral characterization of the relaxation in function space is, in general, not always available, we show that, for a rather general linear inverse problems setting, instead of the classical Tikhonov regularization problem, one can equivalently solve a saddle-point problem where no a priori knowledge of an explicit formulation of the structural TV functional is needed. In particular, motivated by concrete applications, we deduce corresponding results for linear inverse problems with norm and Poisson log-likelihood data discrepancy terms. Finally, we provide proof-of-concept numerical examples where we solve the saddle-point problem for weighted TV denoising as well as for MR guided PET image reconstruction.
The Ecuadorean participation in the Andean pact: Macroeconomic and Sectoral Impact
Creators: name: Creamer, Germán
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 Protection of Ecuadorean industry, even after the tariff reform of 1990, has continued to be important for the nonbasic needs industries, which have a very low level participation in the Andean group (GRAN), but little protection has been provided for the basic needs industries, which have extensive participation in the Andean group. In light of these facts, this paper uses a macro neostructuralist model to evaluate whether the opening of the Ecuadorean economy to the Andean group will generate development of the basic needs consumer sector, at least in the initial stage, with positive effects on growth, income distribution, and external adjustment of the Ecuadorean economy. However, it is important to recognize that Ecuador may need special trade conditions with respect to the rest of the Andean countries or else go through a significant technological change (substitution of imported inputs for domestic inputs) and/or institutional change to ensure the success of this process.

 Resumen

 La protección de la industria ecuatoriana, aún después de la reforma tarifaria de 1990, ha seguido siendo importante para las industrias de necesidades no básicas; las cuales tienen un muy bajo nivel de participación en el Grupo Andino. Escasa protección ha sido provista, sin embargo, a las industrias de necesidades básicas, las que tienen significativa participación en el Grupo Andino. A la luz de estos hechos, este texto usa un macro-modelo neoestructuralista para evaluar si la apertura de la economía ecuatoriana al Grupo Andino, al menos en el estadío inicial, generará desarrollo en el sector de necesidades básicas, con efectos positivos en el crecimiento, la distribución del ingreso y el ajuste externo de la economía ecuatoriana. No obstante, es importante reconocer que Ecuador puede necesitar condiciones de comercio especiales con respecto al resto de los países andinos o, en su defecto, atravesar un importante cambio tecnológico (sustitución de insumos importados por insumos domésticos) y/o cambio institucional, para asegurar el éxito de este proceso.

Year: 2011

description: Die Arbeit „Die Rolle des Mobiltelefons im kulturindustriell geprägten Postfordismus“ geht dem Phänomen Handy und seiner Systemrelevanz im heutigen gesellschaftlichen und ökonomischen Gefüge auf den Grund. Die Fragestellung, die der Arbeit zu Grunde liegt, ist jene nach der Systemfunktionalität des Mobiltelefons im Postfordismus und ob das technische Gerät bedingende oder bedingte Komponente desselben ist. Ausgehend von einer Analyse des postfordistischen Systems wird im ersten Teil der Arbeit besonders auf die Rolle der Kulturindustrie eingegangen und ihre normierende und standardisierende Funktion, die sich unter anderem in einer Transformation von Individualisierungsbemühungen in Scheinindividualisierungen niederschlägt. Der zweite Teil der Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Mobiltelefon selbst. Nach der Ausarbeitung des Wandels des Kommunikationsgerätes, von einem schlichten technischen Artefakt hin zu einem kulturindustriellen Fetischobjekt und -träger zugleich, welches nun gleichzeitig sowohl Produkt als auch Reproduktionseinheit der Kulturindustrie ist, wird die dadurch generierte Systemfunktion und -relevanz des Gerätes herausgearbeitet. Dies geschieht einerseits durch die Darlegung der räumlichen und zeitlichen Entgrenzung der einzelnen Individuen durch das Handy und die dem portablen Gerät anhänglichen Machtsysteme. Andererseits wird anhand der im ersten Teil der Arbeit herausgearbeiteten Eckpfeiler des Postfordismus elaboriert, wie diese mit dem Mobiltelefon verknüpft sind. Dafür ist die Analyse der Rolle des eigentlichen Gerätes ebenso wichtig, wie die Darlegung der Einzigartigkeit des neuen Mediums Handy durch seine Multifunktionalität und Multimedialität.

Poverty and Inequality in Latin America: Some Political Reflections
Creators: name: O'Donnell, Guillermo
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 The paper begins with a brief overview of the present social situation of Latin America, arguing that during the 1980s the widespread poverty and deep social inequality already existing in the region further increased. After this the paper reviews several strategies that could be used by would-be reformers, pointing out the potentialities but also the limitations of these strategies. Consequently the present text examines the broad contours of political coalitions that might be able to deal reasonably effectively with poverty and inequality. The paper concludes by arguing that the only possible foundation for these strategies and coalitions is a morally and democratically inspired view of the respect due to the dignity of every human being. The likelihood of such an emergence is not assessed.

 Resumen

 El texto comienza con una breve síntesis de la actual situación social de América Latina, argumentando que durante la década del 80 se agudizaron aun mas los problemas de extensa pobreza y de profunda desigualdad preexistentes. A continuación el texto analiza alguna de las estrategias que podrían ser utilizadas por actores empeñados en mejorar esta situación, señalando las potencialidades así como las limitaciones de estas estragegias. A partir de esto el texto examina el perfil de las alianzas políticas que podrían enfrentar con razonable efectividad la pobreza y la desigualdad existentes. La conclusión es que la única base posible para esas estrategias y alianzas es una visión, moral y democráticamente inspirada, del respeto debido a la dignidad intrínseca debida a todo ser humano. La probabilidad de los consiguientes procesos no es evaluada en este texto.

description: Ptychotrichos Schaus, 1894
Ptychotricos Schaus, 1894: 227. Type species: Ptychotrico Schaus, 1894, by monotypy.
Ptychotrichos, justified emendation (see ICZN 1999: 33.2.3.1); Hampson, 1898: xx, 27, 477, fig. 263; Schaus, 1905: 190; Hampson, 1914: 291; Hampson, 1915: pl. 16, fig. 20; Dyar, 1914: 163.
Ptychotrichus [sic]; Zerny, 1912: 135, unjustified emendation, preoccupied by Ptychotrichus Kuwert, 1898 (Coleoptera); Draudt, 1915: 164.
Diagnosis. Forewing narrow and almost twice the length of hindwing. Hairbrush concealed on dorsal surface of inner margin of hindwing, glandular area on lateral surfaces of T2–3. Aedeagus sigmoid and distinctly longer than wide. Caecum long and turned downwards. Saccus undeveloped. Vinculum sigmoid. Valvae asymmetrical, with long and thick ventral setae. Uncus bilobed, flatenned dorso-ventrally. Female ninth tergite entirely sclerotized, bursa copulatrix round, and ductus seminalis arising from ductus bursae.
Etymology. From the greek roots ptycho (to fold) and tricho (hair), the name refers to the androconia, which remain concealed in a fold on the dorsal surface of the inner margin of the hindwings when not in use. The omission of the “h” in the word “trichos” probably constitutes a lapsus calami. However, in the absence of clear evidence of inadvertent error in the original publication, it did not need correction (ICZN, article 32.5.1). But Hampson (1898) corrected it anyway, citing Schaus’ (1894) authorship. Given that Ptychotrichos has since then been used, it is in prevailing usage, and must therefore be used (ICZN, article 33).

Ethnicity and Elections in The Caribbean: A Radical Realignment of Power in Trinidad and the Threat of Communal Strife
Creators: name: Premdas, Ralph
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 The 1995 elections in the multiethnic Caribbean state, Trinidad and Tobago, were not an ordinary affair. They not only saw a change of regime but with it a change in the ethnic identity of the new political rulers. Control of the government by one ethnic party or the other poses a threat to the welfare of excluded and defeated parties. For many years one ethnic community controlled the government and entrenched its supporters at all levels of government as well as allocating most resources for the benefit of its own community. With the arrival of a new communally based party to power following the 1995 elections, vital interests are at stake. This paper examines how the change of government occurred through the electoral process.

 Resumen

 Las elecciones de 1995 en el multi-étnico estado caribeño de Trinidad y Tobago no fueron asunto corriente. Ellas significaron no sólo un cambio de regimen, sino, con él, un cambio en la identidad étnica de los nuevos gobernantes. El contro del gobierno por uno u otro grupo étnico presenta una amenaza al bienestar de las partes vencidas y excluidas. Durante muchos años sólo una comunidad étnica controló el gobierno y estableciendo a sus seguidores en todos los niveles de gobierno al tiempo que distribuyendo la mayoría de los recursos para beneficio propio. Con la llegada al poder de un nuevo partido comunalmente basado luego de las elecciones de 1995, intereses vitales están en juego. Este artículo examina cómo ocurrió el cambio de gobierno a través del proceso electoral.

Building Aspects of Democracy before Democracy: Electoral Practices in Nineteenth-Century Chile
Creators: name: Valenzuela, J.Samuel
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2024

description: Abstract

 The paper presents a detailed analysis of electoral practices in nineteenth-century Chile. It argues that such elections have been largely misunderstood in Chilean historiography, given the fact that the political system has been viewed simply as a tool in the hands of the rich. Indeed, the existence of income requirements in order to register to vote has even led analysts to assume that only wealthy males actually voted. By contrast, this paper shows that a majority of the voting public in the electoral processes that occurred every three years was drawn from the middle-lower to lower strata of society. The politicization of artisans and other working-class groups therefore began early in the nation's history. Moreover, the involvement of people in the electoral politics of the time greatly exceeded the numbers of men who actually voted. As such, the elections permitted the formation of a considerable degree of loyalty within the population at large for the emerging parties, which helps explain their strength in the Chilean case. The nineteenth century's electoral practices also created a competitive and highly militant electoral culture that affected the conduct of elections well into the twentieth century, i.e., even after crucial transformations in the early 1890s permitted them to become a vehicle for the realization of Chilean democracy.

 Resumen

 Este artículo presenta un análisis detallado de las prácticas electorales en Chile durante el siglo diecinueve. En él se sostiene que tales elecciones han sido largamente malinterpretadas en la historiografía chilena, dado que el sistema político ha sido visto simplemente como una herramienta en manos de los ricos. En efecto, la existencia de requisitos de ingreso para registrarse para votar ha llevado a los analistas aún a suponer que sólo las personas ricas del sexo masculino realmente votaban. En contraste, este artículo muestra que la mayoría del público votante en los procesos electorales que ocurrían cada tres años provenía de estratos medio-bajos a bajos de la sociedad. En consecuencia, la politización de los artesanos y otros grupos de la clase trabajadora comenzó temprano en la historia nacional. Más aún, la participación de la gente en la política electoral de la época excedía grandemente el número de hombres que de hecho votaban. Las elecciones, como tales, permitieron la formación de un considerable grado de lealtad en la población en general hacia los partidos emergentes; lo cual ayuda a explicar la fuerza de éstos últimos en el caso chileno. Las prácticas electorales del siglo diecinueve también crearon una cultura electoral competitiva y altamente militante que afectó la conducta de las elecciones bien entrado el siglo veinte; esto es, aún después de las cruciales transformaciones de los primeros 1890s esta cultura permitió que las elecciones devinieran en vehículo de realización de la democracia chilena.
