We present a spatial interaction entropy maximizing and structural dynamics model of settlements from the Middle Bronze (MBA) and Iron Ages (IA) in the Khabur Triangle (KT) region within Syria. The model addresses factors that make locations attractive for trade and settlement, affecting settlement growth and change. We explore why some sites become relatively major settlements, while others diminish in the periods discussed. We assess how political and geographic constraints affect regional settlement transformations, while also accounting for uncertainty in the archaeological data. Model outputs indicate how the MBA settlement pattern contrasts from the IA for the same region when different factors affecting settlement size importance, facility of movement, and exogenous site interactions are studied. The results suggest the importance of political and historical factors in these periods and also demonstrate the value of a quantitative model in explaining emergent settlement size distributions across landscapes affected by different socio-environmental causal elements.

Critical Infrastructures (CI) are considered fundamental to the functioning of modern economies. This text looks at the 'iron triangle' within CI: power, telecom, and finance. It introduces the concept of CI's as industrial and enterprise 'risk conductors', highlighting the fact that a CI failure can propagate an impact in an enterprise

Trade unions, political parties and municipal bureaucracy, the « iron triangle » of municipal government in a French Town (Toulouse, 1910-1970). In Toulouse, during the first decades of the twentieth century, the unionization of the workforce and the institutionalization of a co-management system were active factors in the modernization of municipal government. It contributed decisively towards the decline of patronage and political pressure that had hitherto characterized the relationship between local elected representatives and the municipal workforce. An established partnership involving the local union, the ruling party and the head of bureaucracy became a structural element in the city's municipal government for almost 50 years. An English version of this paper was published in : Dagenais Michèle, Maver Irene, Saunier Pierre-Yves, 2001, Municipal services and employees in the modern city , London : Ashgate. ; A Toulouse, pendant les premières décennies du vingtième siècle, la syndicalisation du personnel municipal et l'institutionnalisation d'un système de paritarisme ont été des facteurs très actifs de la modernisation de l'administration communale. Ce processus a contribué d'une façon décisive au déclin du patronage qui caractérisait les relations entre les élus et les employés municipaux. A partir des années trente et jusqu'aux années soixante-dix, un système de relations d'interdépendance entre le syndicat hégémonique, le parti politique dirigeant la coalition municipale et les cadres de la bureaucratie communale est devenu un élément structurel de l'organisation du gouvernement municipal. Ce "triangle de fer" a produit des effets importants sur le management des services et la gestion du personnel communal.
