Typically, military coups occur in crisis situations. No matter whether the resulting military regimes can solve the problems that provided them the opportunity to intervene, or fail to do so, they will -- almost inevitably -- suffer legitimacy crises over periods of time. This dilemma forces them either to broaden the basis of their regime by sharing power with nonmilitary circles, or to retreat to the barracks with or without reserve powers to control the civilian successor regimes. Which option to select is a question determined by a mixture of exogenous & endogenous reasons & preconditions for withdrawal, as well as a variety of superstructural factors. While reintervention is not only possible, but -- depending on circumstances -- even likely in all options, military regimes basically are seen as incapable of finding lasting solutions; their usefulness will, therefore, be increasingly questioned.

THIS PAPER ADDRESSES THE ISSUES OF WHETHER HAVING CAUSED HARM SHOULD BE A NECESSARY CONDITION FOR LIABILITY FOR THAT HARM, AND IF SO, WHY. THE AUTHOR EXAMINES JUDITH THOMSON'S ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF AN UN-KANTIAN ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION, AND POINTS TO WHAT THE AUTHOR BELIEVES ARE THE INADEQUACIES OF THIS ARGUMENT AGAINST KANTIANISM.

THE GENERAL MECHANISMS WHICH UNDERLIE THE PSYCHOLOGICAL PHENOMENON OF PERSONALIZING ("COGNITIVE SIMPLIFICATION" AND "DEFENSIVE ATTRIBUTION") WOULD SEEM TO HAVE GREAT UTILITY IN EXPLAINING ATTRIBUTIONS OF PRESIDENTIAL CONTROL OVER THE ECONOMY. YET PREVIOUS RESEARCH HAS GENERATED INCONSISTENT AND INCONCLUSIVE EMPIRICAL RESULTS. THIS STUDY IDENTIFIES SEVERAL SOURCES OF INCONSISTENCY AND THEN ATTEMPTS TO CLARIFY THE APPROACH BY FOCUSING SEPARATELY ON THE "OBJECT" AND THE "SUBJECT" OF PERSONALIZING. OUR FINDINGS SUGGEST THAT THE DETERMINANTS OF PERSONALIZING TO "THE PRESIDENT" ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE FACTORS THAT EXPLAIN PERSONALIZING TO THE INCUMBENT. IN ADDITION, WE FIND THAT THE IMPACT OF THE TWO PSYCHOLOGICAL MECHANISMS DIFFERS SUBSTANTIALLY WITHIN ECONOMIC SUBJECT AREAS.

The ideology is constructed with a social discourse interweaved with the unconscious desire of the parents to the child, registered through signifiers. The plot that organizes all these modes of transmission and the way to incorporate and subjectivizate them is the voice. The voices of the parents take place in the superego. The superego is a foundation for subsequent voices of authority, whether educational or political. The voices of the superego are fierce and imperative and does not admite doubt. From this basis we are going to do a critical reading to the governmental dispositive to attend intra-family violence in Mexico.

ONE ASSUMPTION OF KEY'S "REWARD-PUNISHMENT" THEORY THAT HAS ATTRACTED COMPARATIVELY LITTLE ATTENTION IS THAT VOTERS HOLD THE INCUMBENT PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL MANNER OF ECONOMIC FLUCTUATIONS. A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE SURVEY LITERATURE IN ECONOMIC VOTING INDICATES THAT THIS ASSUMPTION IS IN NEED OF REVISION. THE HANDFUL OF EXISTING STUDIES IN POLITICAL SCIENCE ON RESPONSIBILITY ATTRIBUTION SUFFERS FROM A LACK OF CONCEPTUAL CLARITY AND A FAILURE TO DEVELOP A THEORY OF THE ATTRIBUTION PROCESS. THIS PAPER OUTLINES A MODEL OF ECONOMIC VOTING IN WHICH PEOPLE ACT AS INTUITIVE JURORS USING VARIOUS DECISION RULES TO EVALUATE THE EVIDENCE SURROUNDING THE PRESIDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR NATIONAL ECONOMIC PROBLEMS. THE GENERALIZABILITY OF THE FRAMEWORK AND DIRECTIONS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH ARE DISCUSSED

THE SOCIAL CONTEXT IS CONSIDERED AS A CONNECTING TIE BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS AND THE POLITICAL LOYALTIES THAT PREDOMINATE WITHIN SOCIAL CLASSES. TWO DIFFERENT EXPLANATIONS FOR CONTEXTUAL INFLUENCE ARE EXAMINED: (1) THE SOCIAL CONTEXT AS A SOURCE OF GROUP LOYALTY AND SELF-IDENTIFICATION AND (2) THE SOCIAL CONTEXT AS A FACTOR THAT STRUCTURES SOCIAL INTERACTION. RESULTS INDICATE THAT THE SOCIAL CONTEXT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE SOCIAL CLASS CONTENT OF FRIENDSHIP GROUPS, BUT THE POLITICAL INFLUENCE OF CONTEXT PERSISTS EVEN WHEN SUBJECTIVE CLASS MEMBERSHIP AND FRIENDSHIP GROUP COMPOSITION ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. FINALLY , THE POLITICAL IMPACT OF THE SOCIAL CONTEXT APPEARS TO VARY, BOTH IN MAGNITUDE AND DIRECTION, AS A FUNCTION OF CLASS LOYALTIES, FRIENDSHIP GROUP COMPOSITION, AND THE LARGER POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT.
