History & Mathematics: Political Demography & Global Ageing. Yearbook / Edited by Jack A. Goldstone, Leonid E. Grinin, and Andrey V. Korotayev. – Volgograd: ‘Uchitel’ Publishing House, 2015. – 176 pp. Among different important issues, which are discussed in Political Demography the issue of global ageing becomes more and more pressing every year. It is sufficient to take into account the point that within two forthcoming decades a rapid global increase in the number of retirement-age persons will lead to its doubling within this fairly small historical period. The concerns about population ageing apply to both developed and many develop- ing countries and it has turned into a global issue. In forthcoming decades the population ageing is likely to become one of the most important processes determining the future so- ciety characteristics and the direction of technological development. The present volume of the Yearbook (which is the fifth in the series) is subtitled ‘Po- litical Demography & Global Ageing’. It brings together a number of interesting articles by scholars from Europe, Asia, and America. They examine global ageing from a variety of perspectives. This issue of the Yearbook consists of two main sections: (I) Aspects of Political Demography; (II) Facing Population Ageing. We hope that this issue will be interesting and useful both for historians and mathe- maticians, as well as for all those dealing with various social and natural sciences.

Goldstone, Leonid E. Grinin, and Andrey V. Korotayev With the further growth of the world population and the further intensification of the processes of interaction between countries and increasing movements of the masses of people, the role of Political Demography becomes more and more important. Issues of global ageing, migration, low fertility in developed coun- tries (or very high fertility in some African countries), high mortality in many developing states (including deaths from AIDS); rapid change in the ethnic composition in Europe and in several other regions and many other pressing issues are in the focus of this discipline. Some of these problems are analyzed in this yearbook. However, among those issues, the issue of global ageing be- comes more and more pressing every year. It is sufficient to take into account the point that within two forthcoming decades a rapid global increase in the number of retirement-age persons will lead to its doubling within this fairly small historical period. The concerns about population ageing apply to both developed and many developing countries and it has turned into a global issue. In the next decades the population ageing is likely to become one of the most important processes determining the future society characteristics and direc- tions of technological development. The ancient Greeks thought of the ages of mankind as passing through youth (the Golden Age), a vigorous adulthood (the Silver and Bronze Age), then a period of pain and conflict, the ‘Iron Age’. As we enter the 21st centu- ry, the world's population is entering an era of unprecedented ageing. Howev- er, it is unclear whether it will indeed prove to be an ‘Iron Age’ of pain and conflict. Certainly, the economic condition of ageing nations will be tested, as their economies are likely to slow while the financial burdens of health and pension support for an ageing population will increase. At the same time, the continued rapid growth and youthfulness of societies in the Middle East and History & Mathematics: Demography & Ageing 2015 5–9 5 6 Introduction Africa are producing waves of international migrants, both those fleeing re- gional conflicts and those looking for greater opportunities than can be found in their own countries. The combination of economic pressures and immigra- tion strains could indeed produce an ‘Iron Age’ of pain and conflict if the world's most developed countries are unable to produce creative responses to these changes. Yet a brighter future also can be imagined. The stabilization of popula- tions in the rich world could also provide a stabilization of pollution and cli- mate-change inducing emissions. Moreover, ageing populations could well make politicians more inclined to seek peace and avoid war. Properly regulat- ed, an increase in global migration could inject a measure of vigor into the ageing societies and economies of Europe, East Asia, and North America, while serving as a safety valve to release social tensions in the developing world. This brighter future is what we all hope for. However, it will require a deep understanding of how ageing will affect the global economy and national and global politics to craft the right responses. Richer countries will need to bring health costs under control, and redesign retirement and pension systems for populations where nearly half of the adult population is over 60 years old. Both richer and poorer countries will need to develop plans to regulate international migration that provide fairness and opportunity while restricting exploitation and trafficking of vulnerable people, and that allow the global movement of people to parallel that of capital and information, while still preserving the rich tapestry of the world's cultures and practices. The data showing how the number of the aged is expected to increase makes clear both the novelty and immensity of the

  • 5 Demography, Migration and Security in the Middle East
    99 Regional Security in the Middle East: Sectors, Variables and Issues 5 Demography, Migration and Security in the Middle East STEFANIE GEORGAKIS ABBOTT & YANNIS A. STIVACHTIS The purpose of this chapter is to investigate the implications of demographic factors for state and regional security in the Middle East. Population growth directly affects the sustainability of a society’s resource base under the pressure of its needs and demands (Choucri and North 1995, 232). Put differently, the greater the population, the greater is the aggregate demand for resources. Yet, demographic correlates considerably affect governmental policies and constrain state actions. Since rising density in the international system is driven, among other things, by the increasing population, this, in turn, implies that people’s activities are more likely to impinge on the con- ditions of other people’s existence, both intentionally and unintentionally, and positively as well as negatively (Buzan 1991, 41). Therefore, the study of the impact of demographic factors is central to any integrated approach to security. There is a clear link between demographic and migration trends in the sense that migration, whether in its domestic or international form, constitutes one of the most important parameters/variables when studying population growth. Consequently, significant migration flows may add to demographic pressures facing states and societies. Therefore, it is not a coincidence that migration is widely viewed by the national publics of the host states as posing threats to their national security, as well as to international stability. Thus, the security implications (military, political, societal, economic and environmental) stemm- ing from increased migration have the potential to enhance the salience of the security implications, which result from other aspects of population growth.

  • The Political Demography of Conflict in Modern Africa
    The Political Demography of Conflict in Modern Africa Elliott D. Green 1 Development Studies Institute London School of Economics [email protected] July 2009 Abstract: Sub-Saharan Africa has shifted from having a very low population density and no population growth in the 19 th century to an extremely high population growth today. While some political demographers have linked the continent’s high population growth rate to current conflict and civil wars, I argue here that a more important cause of contemporary conflict has been this rapid demographic shift over the past century and a half. Specifically, I show that low population density historically contributed to low economic growth, communal and unequal property rights, and high levels of ethnic diversity in the pre-colonial and colonial periods, which have combined with recent high population growth rates to produce large amounts of ‘sons of the soil’ conflict over land in contemporary Africa. To test this argument I examine cases of contemporary civil wars in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo; an examination into the counterfactual case of the Rwandan genocide provides additional support for my theory. 1 This paper is based upon a earlier version presented at a conference on Demography and Security at Harvard University in May 2009. I thank the conference participants along seminar participants at the LSE and Gareth Austin, Tim Dyson, Sean Fox and Omar McDoom for many useful suggestions. All errors are of course my own. Perhaps the most important thing to understand when comparing African societies to those of other regions of the world is that historically speaking, the continent has the lowest population density of any of the major continents.

  • Introduction
    1 Introduction Eric P. Kaufmann and Monica Duffy Toft The field of political demography, defined as “the study of the size, composition, and distribution of population in relation to both government and politics,” is dramatically under-represented in political science (Weiner and Teitelbaum 2001, pp. 11–12). This neglect is especially glaring in the field of international relations, where it contrasts markedly with the rising inter- est coming from policymakers. “Ten years ago, [demography] was hardly on the radar screen,” remark Neil Howe and Richard Jackson of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, two contributors to this volume. They continue: “Today, it dominates almost any discussion of America’s long-term fiscal, economic, or foreign-policy direction,” (Jackson, Howe et al. 2008, p. 17). Recently, two past presidents of the American Political Science Association, Robert Putnam and M. Kent Jennings, pointed to rapid demographic change as one of the most predictable future trends, yet one of the least studied by 3 Goldstone.indb 3 8/8/2011 6:10:52 PM 4 ▼ Eric P. Kaufmann and Monica Duffy Toft political scientists (Hochschild 2005). One could add that demographers and political scientists seem to exist in parallel disciplinary universes. Migra- tion studies—one aspect of demography—occupies an academic archipelago, isolated from associated questions on the political impact of migration on the sending and receiving societies. At the same time, those working in in- ternational relations or comparative politics repeatedly encounter issues of political demography, yet have no forum for sharing common ideas. It is our hope that this book will crystallize and systematize the disparate insights that have so far floated quite loosely across the fields of demography and political science.

  • The Political Demography of the World System: the Next Half Century Paul Demeny Geoffrey Mcnicoll the Extraordinarily Rapid Expa
    The Political Demography of the World System: The Next Half Century * Paul Demeny Geoffrey McNicoll The extraordinarily rapid expansion of the global population in the six decades following the end of World War II—from 2.4 billion to 6.4 billion—was paralleled by similarly striking changes in the world’s geopolitical map. Global economic growth was faster than in any period of comparable length in human history, but country-by-country the progress was highly uneven. Scores of new independent states emerged; membership in the United Nations nearly quadrupled. The new countries, the majority classified as belonging to the "third" world, comprised at mid-century some two-thirds of the total world population. With low incomes and high demographic growth potential, they were weak players on the world stage. The dominant international actors continued to be the more technologically and industrially advanced countries, and the main axis of economic, military, and ideological competition was between those two other "worlds": the capitalist market economies of the West and the socialist East. The two sides offered contrasting models of economic and political organization, which third world countries variously adopted with widely differing results. By the last decade of the century the bipolar competition of the Cold War had ended and the market economy model was triumphant. Economic globalization—greatly expanded international trade, capital movements, and cross-border mobility of labor—spread beyond the developed countries and East Asia, although very unevenly. Thus the developing world, by then four-fifths of mankind, had become far less homogeneous in both its demographic dynamics and its income per capita.

  • Demography Course Description and Objectives
    DEMOGRAPHY COURSE DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES: This course provides a comprehensive survey of the field of social demography the scientific study of population. The course begins by focusing on understanding the core social demographic variables (e.g., fertility, mortality, morbidity, migration), and how these variables influence population growth, composition, and structure. Population will be examined in relation to its sociological determinants and consequences. In the latter part of the course we will shift our attention to the relationship between population and issues such as urbanization, family change, population aging and health, economic growth, and the environment. Course work Write an essay about any of the questions below. The essay is not limited but should have a proper back up and reference more especially for question B A. Describe the demographic transition theory. A number of authors have argued that the theory is inadequate to explain the demographic transition in many developing countries of Asia and Africa. Discuss. B. A developing country has adopted a policy of reducing its fertility level by adopting a family planning programme. What other social policy measures would you recommend for expediting the decline in fertility? Support your recommendations with evidence. Definition Demography is the statistical and mathematical study of the size, composition, and spatial distribution of human populations and how these features change over time. Data are obtained from a census of the population and from registries: records of events like birth, deaths, migrations, marriages, divorces, diseases, and employment. To do this, there needs to be an understanding of how they are calculated and the questions they answer which are included in these four concepts: population change, standardisation of population numbers, the demographic bookkeeping equation, and population composition.

GOLDSTONE, FEB 23 2013 Rarely can social scientists claim to be observing genuinely unprecedented phenomena. In terms of demography, however, the world is, indeed, entering virgin territory: Europe and the Americas’ relative demographic decline contrasts starkly with the demographic ascendance of Asia and Africa; An escalating rift between aging affluent countries and youthful poor ones; and More people on the move than ever before Hitherto, high birth rates had ensured predominantly young populations with few older people. War and epidemics, such as the plague, would intervene to depress population growth. By contrast, depressed population growth today is a function of a historically unprecedented decline in birth rates. That is, women are consistently having fewer or no children than at any previous time in history (for reasons that are beyond the scope of this research note). Differentials in fertility and mortality are not just affecting population structure. Population structure affects political in/stability; and political in/stability is a catalyst for migration. Demography in all its facets—fertility, net migration (immigrants-emigrants), mortality, population size, age structure, the first and second demographic transitions—is a vital ingredient in shaping the political process. Its effect can be proximate or remote; first, second, or third order; necessary, but rarely sufficient; it can serve as a precipitant or a conditioning factor (Fischer & Hout 2006; Horowitz 1985, pp.

    challenge paper POPULATION Hans-Peter Kohler Population Growth 1 Copenhagen Consensus 2012: Challenge Paper on “Population Growth” Hans-Peter Kohler∗ Revised version: June 4, 2012 1. THE CHALLENGE OF “POPULATION GROWTH” While the majority of the population is now estimated to live in regions with below re- placement fertility, high fertility, poor reproductive health outcomes and relatively rapid population growth remain an important concern in several low income countries. Inter- national and national spending devoted to family planning, however, has declined signif- icantly in recent years. Recent research has brought about a revision in the understanding of the interactions between population growth and economic development, as well as the effects of family planning programs in terms of reduced fertility, improved reproductive health outcomes and other life-cycle and intergenerational consequences. This paper dis- cusses recent evidence about the benefits of family planning programs and the interactions between population growth and developments, and it attempts to estimate benefit-cost ratios for increased spending on family planning.1 2. THE DEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITION:AN UNFINISHED SUCCESS STORY The demographic transition in developing countries during the 2nd half to the 20th century is widely considered a “success story”. Between 1950–55 and 2005–10, the life expectancy in less developed countries2 increased from 42.3 to 66 years (a total gain of 23.7 years, or an average annual gain of .43 years), and in the least developed countries, it increased from 37.2 to 56.9 (a total gain of 19.7 years, or an average annual gain of .37 years). Fertility rates declined from a total fertility rate (TFR) of about 6.1 in less developed countries in 1950–55 to 2.7 children per woman in 2005–10 (an annual decline of about 0.062), and TFR levels declined from 6.5 to 4.4 children per woman in the least developed countries dur- ∗Kohler is Frederick J.
