Is globalization conducive to long-run economic growth and development? Almost certainly yes. But as for trade’s impact on long-run political growth and development, here the state of our knowledge lags far behind. This chapter attempts to redress the imbalance. Rather than focus on globalization’s longer-run economic externalities, I highlight the political consequences of openness—e.g., the d...

INTRODUCTION Over the years, the information system design process (Gero and Kazakov, 1996; Goldschmidt, 1997; Guindon, 1990; Jeffries et al., 1981; Parnas and Clements, 1986) has been investigated using a variety of perspectives. Researchers have examined cognitive aspects of design (Goldschmidt, 1997; Guindon, 1990; Guindon, Krasner, and Curtis, 1986; Rowe, 1987; Sen, 1997), design strategies...

Introduction The following paper identifies and takes issue with a potentially troubling development in the study of comparative politics. While political scientists have traditionally deployed objective indicators of “political organization and administrative capacity” (Reynolds 1983, p. 976), including tax ratios (Organski and Kugler 1980; Benson and Kugler 1998), tax structures (Kling 1968; ...

Krumboltz (1966c) entitled the proceedings of the Cubberly Conference, "Revolution in Counseling." A quiet revolution seems to me to be a contradiction in terms. The current development of behavior t...

The theory of hyperstructures has been introduced byMarty in 1934 during the 8th Congress of the Scandinavian Mathematicians [4]. Marty introduced the notion of a hypergroup and since then many researchers have worked on this new topic of modern algebra and developed it. The notion of a hyperfield and a hyperring was studied first by Krasner [2] and then some authors followed him, for example, ...

The several ways in which vitamin administration may bring about a biochemical response in genetic abnormalities have been discussed. Two major interrelated lessons emerge from what we now know about vitamin-responsive genetic disease. First, it is possible to enhance metabolite flow through partially deficient reactions by suitable manipulation of the environment in which a fixed amount of enz...
