Heeding the push from below: how do social movements persuade the rich to listen to the poor?
This article discusses three successful pro-poor social movements: the Brazilian Landless Workers' Movement, the Indian wing of the People's Health Movement and the South African Treatment Action Campaign. These have mobilized poor people to demand access to land, health services and life-saving medical treatment respectively. We show how each group has succeeded not only through building the '...
متن کاملHeeding More Than the Top Template
We present a method of classifying a pattern using information furnished by a ranked list of templates, rather than just the best matching template. We propose a parsimonious model to compute the class-conditional likelihood of a list of templates ranked on the basis of their match scores. We discuss the estimation of parameters used in the model. The results of maximum likelihood classificatio...

With hindsight it often appears that full advantage is not taken of what is known. Part of the reason organizations neglect apparent warnings is because of limited re.sources and the way resources are allocated. Drawing on concepts from the resourcebased view (RBV) of the firm...
متن کاملConstructing Cardinals from Below
If the initial segment Σ of Ω is a set, then it has a least strict upper bound S(Σ) ∈ Ω. Thus, for numbers α = S(Σ) and β = S(Σ′), α < β iff α ∈ Σ′; α = β iff Σ = Σ′; S(∅) is the least number 0 (although Cantor himself took the least number to be 1); if Σ has a greatest element γ, then α is its successor γ + 1; and if Σ is non-null and has no greatest element, then α is the least upper bound of...
