  • The Poverty of Cities in Developing Regions
    The Poverty of Cities in Developing Regions MARTIN BROCKERHOFF ELLEN BRENNAN A LONG-STANDING BELIEF in development studies holds that, on the whole, living conditions in developing countries are superior for residents of large cities than for persons living in smaller cities, towns, and villages. The con- cept of big cities as “islands of privilege” (Harrison 1982: 145) is funda- mental to otherwise discrepant theories of modernization, dependency, world systems of cities, and the global division of labor, each of which pos- its long-lasting disadvantages for populations outside of major urban cen- ters.1 It is also supported by evidence from numerous developing countries of lower child mortality rates, greater income-earning opportunities, less fre- quent and less severe famines, and better access to publicly conferred entitle- ments in big cities than in smaller areas in the era since World War II. Since the late 1980s, however, the presumed superiority of large cit- ies in developing countries has been widely disputed. One argument, in- formed by evidence of rapid population growth and economic stagnation in many cities, and by perceptions of associated negative externalities im- posed on city environments, asserts deteriorating or relatively unfavorable living conditions for big-city residents, on average, as compared with con- ditions for inhabitants of smaller cities and towns. Paul Kennedy (1993: 26) observes that “Asian, Latin American, and Central American mega- cities of 20 million inhabitants have become increasingly centers of pov- erty and social collapse.”2 The International Labour Organization reports that by around 1990, most residents of Bombay, Cairo, and Lagos were living in slums (Oberai 1993: 8).

Mai 2001 9:16 09 The Liaison Committee of Historians came into being in 1982 as a result of an important international symposium that the Commission had organized in Luxembourg to launch historical research on Euro- pean integration. The committee is composed of historians of the European Union member countries who work on contemporary history. The Liaison Committee: – gathers and conveys information about work on European history after the Second World War; – advises the European Union on research projects concerning contemporary European history. Thus, the Liaison Committee was commissioned to make publicly available the archives of the Community institutions; – enables researchers to make better use of the archival sources; – promotes research meetings to get an update of work in progress and to stimulate new research: seven research conferences have been organized and their proceedings published. The Journal of European Integration History – Revue d’histoire de l’intégration européenne – Zeitschrift für Geschichte der europäischen Integration is in line with the preoccupations of the Liaison Committee. Being the first history journal to deal exclusively with the history of European Integration, the Journal offers the increasing number of young historians devoting their research to contemporary Europe, a permanent forum. The Liaison Committee is supported by the European Commission, but works completely independ- ently and according to historians’ critical method.

LXXXVII, 2011, 113-126 PRESENCIA DE WASHINGTON IRVING Y OTROS NORTEAMERICANOS EN LA ESPAÑA ROMÁNTICA (1826-1846)* ashington Irving es el representante más destacado, y el más conocido entre nos- otros, de la atracción que ejerció España sobre un considerable grupo de norte- Wamericanos quienes a lo largo del siglo XIX dejaron profunda huella de sus experiencias en la cultura de su país. Una huella manifiesta en libros de viajes, en traba- jos históricos y literarios, en la creación de bibliotecas y de colecciones de obras de arte, en el extraordinario auge de los estudios universitarios de la lengua, la cultura y la litera- tura españolas en los Estados Unidos y, finalmente, en difundir el conocimiento de España en aquel país. Esta conferencia tiene el carácter de una visión de conjunto pues me pro- pongo referirme a temas tan amplios como el magisterio y huella de Washington Irving y otros hispanófilos norteamericanos de la primera mitad del XIX sobre la literatura de su país en el momento de transición de la Ilustración al Romanticismo, así como a su deci- siva influencia sobre la difusión de los estudios universitarios del español en los Estados Unidos. Me he marcado tentativamente las fechas de 1826 a 1846 por ser respectivamente la de la primera visita a España del Washington Irving autor de Los cuentos de la Alham- bra, y la de la última como representante diplomático de su país. En aquellos años la vida cultural, política y económica norteamericana estaba con- centrada principalmente en Nueva Inglaterra, al Este del país, y principalmente en Fila- delfia, que fue la primera capital de los Estados Unidos, en Boston y en Nueva York.

  • Statistics on Spotlight: World Statistics Day 2015
    Statistics on Spotlight: World Statistics Day 2015 Shahjahan Khan Professor of Statistics School of Agricultural, Computational and Environmental Sciences University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba, Queensland, AUSTRALIA Founding Chief Editor, Journal of Applied Probability and Statistics (JAPS), USA Email: [email protected] Abstract In the age of evidence based decision making and data science, statistics has become an integral part of almost all spheres of modern life. It is being increasingly applied for both private and public benefits including business and trade as well as various public sectors, not to mention its crucial role in research and innovative technologies. No modern government could conduct its normal functions and deliver its services and implement its development agenda without relying on good quality statistics. The key role of statistics is more visible and engraved in the planning and development of every successful nation state. In fact, the use of statistics is not only national but also regional, international and transnational for organisations and agencies that are driving social, economic, environmental, health, poverty elimination, education and other agendas for planned development. Starting from stocktaking of the state of the health of various sectors of the economy of any nation/region to setting development goals, assessment of progress, monitoring programs and undertaking follow-up initiatives depend heavily on relevant statistics. Only statistical methods are capable of determining indicators, comparing them, and help identify the ways to ensure balanced and equitable development. 1 Introduction The goals of the celebration of World Statistics Day 2015 is to highlight the fact that official statistics help decision makers develop informed policies that impact millions of people.

  • Thomas Theorem and the Matthew Hfed?
    The Thomas Theorem and The Matthew Hfed? ROBERT K MERI'ON, Cohmbiu University and Russell Sage Foundation Eponymy in science is the practice of affixing the names of scientists to what they have discovered or are believed to have discovered,’ as with Boyle’s Law, Halley’s comet, Fourier’s transform, Planck’s constant, the Rorschach test, the Gini coefficient, and the Thomas theorem This article can be read from various sociological perspectives? Most specifical- ly, it records an epistolary episode in the sociointellectual history of what has ’ The definition of epw includes the cautionary phrase,“or are belkvedto have discovered,” in order to take due note of “Stigkr’s Law of Eponymy” which in its strongest and “simplest form is this: ‘No scientific discovery is named after its original discovereV (Stigler 1980). Stigler’s study of what is generally known as “the normal distribution” or “the Gaussian distribution” as a case in point of his ixonicaBy self-exemplifyingeponymous law is based in part on its eponymous appearance in 80 textbooks of statistics, from 1816 to 1976. 2 As will become evident, this discursive composite of archival dccuments, biography of a sociological idea, and analysis of social mechanisms involved in the diffusion of that idea departs from the tidy format that has come to be p&bed for the scientific paper. This is by design and with the indulgent consent of the editor of SocialForces. But then, that only speaks for a continuing largeness of spirit of its editorial policy which, back in 1934, allowed the ironic phrase “enlightened Boojum of Positivism” (with its allusion to Lewis Carroll’s immortal The Hunting of the &ark) to appear in my very fist article, published in this journal better than 60 Y- ago.
