Using a critical reading of documents, newspapers, memoirs, & historical accounts from the 1950s-1970s, the major collective action frames of the US gay liberation movement, 1969-1973, are described & traced to either the 1960s protest wave or the older homophile movement. These frames -- gay is good, sexual liberation, heterosexism, oppression is everywhere -- emerged dialectically & creatively from these two protest streams. Their emergence illustrates the utility of a focus on both social movement continuity & cycles of protest in explaining how social movement culture is created. This creative convergence did not produce a unitary ideology or a master frame from which the movement drew its strategy, goals, & collective identity. Instead, it created a tension between the notions of gay people as a minority group vs as cultural critics. 48 References. Adapted from the source document.

Analyzes the role of media publicity in understanding the sexual affair between US President Bill Clinton & White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The traditional distinction between publicity as consumer-oriented or as a critical mechanism is deemed irrational; rather, it is contended that publicity's two functions are interlaced & that attempts to distinguish its consumer & critique orientations are ideological. Specifically, such a claim is interpreted as hiding the public's secret desire that supports the media's disclosure of information. Consequently, it is stated that publicity is an internal component of the public sphere's logic. It is subsequently maintained that the media's extensive coverage of the Clinton-Lewinsky affair is a manifestation of the public sphere's logic. It is concluded that publicity is an ideological approach to restructuring the nature of politics & that democratic theory does not require the public sphere. J. W. Parker

Der Autor erläutert Aufbau und Funktionsstruktur internationaler Organisationen an Hand der Regulierung des internationalen Luftverkehrmarktes in der Nachkriegszeit. Entscheidend geprägt werden internationale Organisationen durch die nationalen Interessen der Mitgliedsstaaten, denen es bei der Gestaltung einer internationalen Organisation um die Maximierung der eigenen wirtschaftlichen Vorteile geht. Der Autor entwirft ein Modell, das erklärt, wie, wann und warum nationale politische Akteure eine internationale Organisation aufbauen. Das Modell wird angewandt auf die Errichtung eines internationalen Regimes zur Regulierung des internationalen Luftverkehrs in den späten 40er Jahren und dessen Umbau in den vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnten.

Este ensayo tiene el objetivo de analizar los aspectos esenciales de la llamada Ley Helms-Burton, asi como algunas de las reacciones originadas en paises como Canada, Mexico y los que integran la Union Europea. Se intenta mostrar que dicha ley es resultado, principalmente, de la labor de grupos de interes con alto grado de influencia en la politica internacional estadunidense, realizada a traves del Congreso de ese pais. Debido a sus alcances extraterritoriales, la Ley Helms-Burton genero un conflicto artificial de jurisdicciones y llego a poner en entredicho la direccion presidencial de la politica exterior de Estados Unidos y la eficacia del embargo economico contra Cuba.
