Hypotheses were developed & tested on dispositions to engage in nonconformist types of political & religious activities. Hypotheses linking such dispositions to discontinuity in educational experiences were formulated. Specifically, it was hypothesized that individuals exposed to both parochial & public school educational experiences in Mexico would be more likely to engage in nonconformist behavior & thought. Such individuals were expected to be less likely to identify with the dominant party in the one-party system of Mexico, to participate in conventional types of political activity, & to accept conventional religiosity than were individuals with no education or with continuous educational experience. The data came from a random sample of 346 adult Mexicans living in metropolitan Mexico City in 1973. Single item measures of type of schools attended, partisanship, voter turnout in the 1973 election, & propensity to engage in protest activities were used in the analysis, along with a 6-item measure of conventional religiosity. Crosstabulation & measures of association were employed for the data analysis. All of the hypotheses were confirmed except the propensity to engage in protest activities. Even when education was controlled, the discontinuously educated were found to be less likely to identify with the dominant party, to have participated in the 1973 legislative election, & to be conventionally religious. The reason that the discontinuously educated are less inclined toward protest activities is because of their awareness of the potentially severe negative sanctions. 1 Table. AA.

Twenty years after Dayton, failures to facilitate effective refugee and IDP return have had a social and political impact at both community and state level.

This collection of essays provides new insight into the complex realities of labour and employment market globalisation. The pluridisciplinary and multi-faced understanding of globalisation is based upon ground research in ten countries from South to North. Its contextualisation of globalising labour and employment market, perceived as process, constitutes the originality of the book. Globalisation is understood through a single process of both standardisation and differentiation, which also underscores its political agenda. The globalising process incorporates trends of convergent and somewhat undifferentiated Southern and Northern situations in labour and employment. Strong political perspectives thereby emerge to help understand changes in current capitalism and question the longstanding North to South paradigm. As labour and employment markets standardise and differentiate, what other problematical threads can be pulled to strengthen the hypothesis that trends converge within a single globalising process? The comparative concepts and tools proposed in this volume help to answer these queries.

In this book, Duncan Kelly excavates, from the history of modern political thought, a largely forgotten claim about liberty as a form of propriety. By rethinking the intellectual and historical foundations of modern accounts of freedom, he brings into focus how this major vision of liberty developed between the seventeenth and the nineteenth centuries. In his framework, celebrated political writers, including John Locke, Montesquieu, Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, and Thomas Hill Green pursue the claim that freedom is best understood as a form of responsible agency or propriety, and they do so.
