This paper considers the social logic of maternal anxiety about risks posed to children in segregated, post-conflict neighbourhoods. Focusing on qualitative research with mothers in Belfast's impoverished and divided inner city, the paper draws on the interactionist perspective in the sociology of emotions to explore the ways in which maternal anxiety drives claims for recognition of good mothering, through orientations to these neighbourhoods. Drawing on Hirschman's model of exit, loyalty and voice types of situated action, the paper examines the relationship between maternal risk anxiety and evaluations of neighbourhood safety. In arguing that emotions are important aspects of claims for social recognition, the paper demonstrates that anxiety provokes efforts to claim status, in this context through the explicit affirmation of non-sectarian mothering.

This ethnographic study explores the social interactions of African American males in an urban, Southeastern barbershop. Barbershops have become frequent research sites for communicating health messages. This study suggests that African American barbershops are discursive spaces where identity is shaped as young men are initiated into manhood and African American culture. Identity is explored through the communication theory of identity perspective. The study initially focuses on the communal aspects of African American male identity to understand how collective group consciousness is shaped. Then I examine how the collective worldview interpenetrates the interactional, relational, and individual levels of identity. Three themes found to recur from social interactions were male bonding, culture-specific history, and argumentation.

Absence of the super-power aspect of the authority legitimacy does not allow Alexander Lukashenko to blame the "adverse external circumstances" for his domestic policy failures. Russian mass media is working to create the enemy image in Belarus. Given the lack of domestic source of social mobilization, Belarus public maintained the distorted perception for two years. However, the public approval indices plummeted in March 2015, as declining living standards adversely affected the popular support of Belarus government. 88% Belarusians believe that national economy is in recession. Russian TV interpretation of the conflict in eastern Ukraine gave Alexander Lukashenko a perfect opportunity to offer Belarussians to trade loyalty for survival. The change of social contract legitimized Lukashenko's extended term in the office.

Authentic dialogue is a key component of deliberative democracy. Public administration scholars and practitioners have focused on institutional settings for authentic dialogue, but they have paid less attention to behavioral aspects, especially the emotional component, of authentic dialogue. The author proposes a conceptual framework for authentic dialogue that highlights the three dimensions of its social‐behavioral foundation: epistemic, social, and compassionate information processing motivation. The article reviews the discourse on authentic dialogue in public administration and provides a conceptual framework for authentic dialogue, with a discussion of the three behavioral dimensions, their relationships, and their effects. This framework may be used in empirical analysis of authentic dialogue and the design of institutions for deliberative democracy.

Voluntary compliance is an important aspect of strong tax regimes, but there is limited understanding of how social norms favoring compliance emerge. Using novel data from urban Nigeria, where tax enforcement is weak, this article shows that individuals with a positive experience of state services delivery are more likely to express belief in an unconditioned citizen obligation to pay tax. In addition to support for this fiscal exchange mechanism, social context is consequential. Where individuals have access to community-provided goods, which may substitute for effective state services provision, they are less likely to adopt pro-compliance norms. Finally, the article shows that norm adoption increases tax payment. These findings have broad implications for literatures on state formation, taxation and public goods provision.

The achievement of the traditional milestones associated with adulthood within the current cohort of young adults appears to differ by social class backgrounds, and these differences may be growing due to the differential support of natal families. However, existing research and theory that looks at intergenerational social mobility does not fully examine the multidimensional aspect of family capital and how this capital is deployed during transitions to adulthood. Therefore, building on the work of Pierre Bourdieu on the forms of family capital in the parental investment framework, this article proposes a conceptual model that examines three kinds of resources that natal families marshal and the mechanisms through which these resources are deployed during transitions to adulthood.

The history of children in general and that of Persian children in particular is that of the inarticulate. The social history of Iran is a neglected field although in recent decades a preponderance of material has appeared on the history of women. Aside from this no work has been undertaken on the private life of the period including childhood and family life. This article examines various aspects of the position and upbringing of children in Qajar Iran ranging from the rearing of children to their status in the family, discipline, amusements and education. This investigation attempts to cover the childhood of different sexes and social classes both in rural and urban areas. The discussion is limited to Shi'i children, the majority population of Iran.

The purpose of this study was to enhance local history as a focus area in a Higher Education (HE) teaching context. This article documented a case study of the practice of flower growing as a recreational-competitive activity. A historical narrative was thus constructed around the Wellington Horticulture Society (Coloured), henceforth referred to as the (WHS). The founding of the WHS coincided with the emergence of cultural organisations in Wellington. Furthermore, it was part of a social development, known as garden culture. By using documentary evidence, previous research material and an oral historical account, a narrative of the WHS was created, emphasising aspects, such as competition, family history and garden culture. This research identified social and political dilemmas associated with the WHS.

The dissertation deals with social inequalitiy between insiders and outsiders in Europe and its relation to employment protection legislation. In this regard, it focuses particularly on differences in unemployment. The dissertation is cumulative and captures four different empirical studies each highlighting specific aspects in this contexts. The studies provide insights on inequalities between skill groups, men and women and elderly with different employment biographies. On the basis of the insider-outsider theory of Lindbeck and Snower it was assumed that the relaxation of employment protection legislation should lead to a reduction of social inequality. However, the results show that there is no general mechanism. The relation between employment protection legislation and unemployment strongly depends on present contextual factors.

The article deals with contemporary security situation in the Sinai Peninsula. Attention is paid to certain aspects that form the local negative trends in security developments and their mutual interconnection, as a part of social movements after the events of the so-called Arab Spring and the consequences of the Egyptian Lotus Revolution that have a cardinal influence for both the deployments of Egyptian Army and the security sector in this territory.

The issue of accountability has gained a renewed social, political and educacional importance. This is one of the reasons why it should continue to be an object of theoretical and conceptual reflection, particulary in the social sciences. Regarding , more specifically, education, the contributions that have the issue of accountability at their core are still few, particularly in countries where democratic political regimes are relatively recent. The article adopt a critical approach and revisits the concept of accountability, giving a special emphasis to the interaction between evaluacion, answrability and enforcement. This brief theoretical and conceptual framework is then applied to same aspects of the Portuguese educational reality and we conclude that the issue of accountabilityis still, in this specific context, relatively recente and ...
