Security governance in the second decade of the 21st century is ill-serving the American people. Left uncorrected, civic life and national continuity will remain increasingly at risk. At stake well beyond our shores is the stability and future direction of an international political and economic system dependent on robust and continued U.S. engagement. Outdated hierarchical, industrial structures and processes configured in 1947 for the Cold War no longer provide for the security and resilience of the homeland. Security governance in this post-industrial, digital age of complex interdepende

AbstractApplying a framework of leadership categorization theory, I examined the leadership perceptions of heterosexual and gay male leaders. A significant interaction was found between participants' homonegativity and the sexual orientation of the target leader (heterosexual male or gay male) for the variable of leadership effectiveness. For participants who were less homonegative, there were no significant differences between evaluations of heterosexual and gay male leaders. However, individuals who were more homonegative evaluated the gay male leader more negatively than they did the heterosexual male leader. Implications of these findings for leaders with a minority sexual orientation and their organizations are discussed. Copyright © 2017 ASAC. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

This technical brief was commissioned by the Technical Consortium for Building Resilience in the Horn of Africa as one of a series of briefs. The Technical Consortium was established to support the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and national governments in the Greater Horn of Africa. ILRI is the host organization of the technical consortium, which seeks to develop regional, national and investment programs for the long-term development of the arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) in the Horn of Africa. The objective is to support IGAD and common program frameworks to end drought related emergencies and build resilience in the Horn of Africa.

A variant of the non‐nutritive habituation/dishabituation sucking method was used to test 2‐month‐old English infants' perception of languages. This method tests for the spontaneous interest of the baby to a change in the stimulus. English and Japanese were clearly discriminated. The difference between French and Japanese was equally clearly not of interest to babies using this procedure, the babies behaving as though both languages were classified simply as 'foreign'. In order to further specify babies' representation of native and foreign language, we used Dutch, which shares a number of suprasegmental features with English. The results from our last 2 experiments indicate that a portion of our 6–12 week‐old babies consider Dutch as native, suggesting that we tapped in a transition period where the babies are still refining the suprasegmental specification of their native language.

Teaching the Ethical Foundations of Economics contains 10 lessons that reintroduce an ethical dimension to economics in the tradition of Adam Smith, who believed ethical considerations were central to life. Utilizing these innovative instructional materials your students will learn about the important role ethics and character play in a market economy and how, in turn, markets influence ethical behavior. The lessons do more than illustrate how ethical conduct improves an economy. They actively involve the students through simulations, group decision making, problem solving, classroom demonstrations and role playing. The lessons encourage students to think critically about ethical dilemmas. ; https://scholarship.richmond.edu/bookshelf/1072/thumbnail.jpg
