El artículo hace un recorrido por las diferentes técnicas estadísticas de uso más generalizado en la investigación social (recuento, media, desviación típica, distribución normal, regresión y muestreo), desarrolladas en un período que va del siglo XVII, cuando aparecen las obras de Graunt y de Petty, padres de la aritmética política y precursores de los actuales recuentos de la población, hasta finales del siglo XIX, principios del XX, cuando se desarrollan las técnicas que permiten estudiar las relaciones entre las variables (correlación y regresión), a cargo de Galton y de Pearson. Entre ambos momentos se encuentra la figura de Quetelet, a la que se le presta una especial dedicación, en tanto que precursor, con su «hombre medio», de la modelización estadística, y del uso generalizado y estandarizado de los censos. Además de tener un fin descriptivo, el estudio de los autores mencionados tiene por objeto mostrar las circunstancias, tanto de naturaleza heurística como sociopolítica, que se tuvieron que dar para que sus obras vieran la luz, al tiempo que se muestra el papel que tiene la estadística a la hora de naturalizar el orden social, como paso previo a su aceptación como orden político. ; This article talks about the different statistical techniques (counting, mean, standard deviation, normal distribution, regression), that have been developed from the XVII century, with Graunt and Petty, founders of Political Arithmetic and predecessors of present ways of counting the population, thru the end of the XIX century, when Galton and Pearson developed the models that allows to study relationships between variables (correlation and regression). Between both moments we can find Quetelet, someone very relevant as pioneer of statistical modelling, with his «average man», and father of periodical and standardized census. The article not only has a descriptive purpose, but also it pretends to show the circumstances, both of heuristic and soci-political nature, that made possible the invention of the different statistics, at the same time that I show its role in the naturalization of social order, as a previous condition for its acceptance as political order.

This article aims at reviewing some of the elements that supported the world order (Bi-polar) which reigned from the postwar period till the fall of Communism in the late 80s; likewise, it aims at skimming through the political, economical and social phenomena that led to the configuration of a new order (uni-polar) that started to grow at the beginning of the 90s and seems to have been consolidated as an outcome of the terrorist acts of 9/11, 2001 in New York and Washington. Finally, it focuses on the Colombian case in order to analyze how the new world order tends to uncontrollably influence on the possibility to structure a negotiated solution to the internal armed conflict, through political negotiations. ; Este artículo pretende revisar algunos de los elementos que sustentaron el orden mundial (Bipolar) que rigió desde el período de la Posguerra, hasta la caída del comunismo a finales de la década de los ochenta. De igual manera, repasar los fenómenos de carácter político, social y económico que permitieron configurar un nuevo orden (Unipolar) que empezó a gestarse en los inicios de los años noventa y que parece haberse consolidado como resultado de los actos terroristas del 11 de septiembre de 2001 en Nueva York y Washington. Por último, toma el caso colombiano para analizar cómo el nuevo orden mundial tiende a influir de manera incontrolada, en la posibilidad de estructurar una salida negociada al conflicto armado interno, mediante una negociación política.

Ballot order effects are well documented in established democracies, but less so in fragile post-conflict settings. We test for the presence of ballot order effects in the 2010 parliamentary election in Afghanistan. Turning out for the 2010 election was a potentially life-threatening endeavor for the Afghan voter. The election provides a first look at ballot order effects in a high stakes, post-conflict setting. In this setting limited cognitive skills and information are more likely explanations of potential ballot order effects than mechanisms of lacking of effort or ambivalence of choice. Importantly, we find no evidence of a positive effect on the vote share of a higher ballot position. ; Ballot order effects are well documented in established democracies, but less so in fragile post-conflict settings.

Order regarding the decision to stop the confiscation of church property in South America and the Philippines. Dated 26 January 1809. Possibly published Buenos Aires, Imprenta de Niños Expósitos, 1809

AbstractThe recent "liberal international order" (LIO) debate has been vague about the institutions and issue areas that constitute the order. This is likely driven by competing views of "liberal" and, perhaps more importantly, by security scholars dominating the debate. From the perspective of scholars who explore the elements of the global monetary order (reserve currencies, international financial institutions, and central banks), the picture is different. Where security scholars point to a decline in US influence, scholars of global monetary politics see continued US dominance. Moreover, monetary prominence has been a precondition for the viability of great power projects of order building more generally. This symposium offers such a counter narrative. While the security challenges are real, the crises of the last decade have actually reinforced the centrality of the US dollar and American financial power in the international system.

This executive order by Governor John C. West gives authority to cooperative undertakings by multiple state agencies.

Global food security governance is fraught with fragmentation, overlap and complexity. While calls for coordination and coherence abound, establishing an inter-organizational order at this level seems to remain difficult. While the emphasis in the literature has so far been on the global level, we know less about dynamics of inter-organizational relations in food security governance at the country level, and empirical studies are lacking. It is this research gap the article seeks to address by posing the following research question: In how far does inter-organizational order develop in the organizational field of food security governance at the country level? Theoretically and conceptually, the article draws on sociological institutionalism, and on work on inter-organizational relations. Empirically, the article conducts an exploratory case study of the organizational field of food security governance in Côte d'Ivoire, building on a qualitative content analysis of organizational documents covering a period from 2003 to 2016 and semi-structured interviews with staff of international organizations from 2016. The article demonstrates that not all of the developments attributed to food security governance at the global level play out in the same way at the country level. Rather, in the case of Côte d'Ivoire there are signs for a certain degree of coherence between IOs in the field of food security governance and even for an – albeit limited – division of labour. However, this only holds for specific dimensions of the inter-organizational order and appears to be subject to continuous contestation and reinterpretation under the surface.

Resumen: Orden Cristiano, una publicación católica, antifascista, liberal y democrática, se publicó entre 1941 y 1948. El presente artículo examina la perspectiva de dicha revista respecto a la fórmula que debía adoptar el nuevo orden mundial. Se afirmará que la conformación de un "orden cristiano" (estructura que debía adoptar el nuevo orden mundial) dependía de la resolución de la siguiente ecuación: cómo conciliar orden y libertad, autoridad del estado y autonomía del individuo, justicia social y capitalismo, catolicismo y pluralidad. Para ello, se situará a la revista en su contexto y se considerará la posibilidad de encuadrar a la publicación dentro del llamado "catolicismo liberal". Finalmente, se apreciará cómo se buscó articular los diversos principios para la configuración de un nuevo orden mundial a partir del caso de China y Argentina. ; Abstract: The catholic, antifascist, liberal and democratic magazine Christian Order was published between 1941 and 1948. The article examines the view adopted by the fortnightly publication as regards the structure that the new international order should adopt. It will be argued that the conformation of a "Christian order" (shape that the new international order should assume) depended on the resolution of the following equation: how to reconcile order and freedom, state authority and individual autonomy, social justice and capitalism, and Catholicism and pluralism. In this sense, to appreciate the answer provided by the magazine, the context of production will be analyzed. Moreover it will be discussed to what extent Christian Order was a liberal Catholic publication. Finally through the analysis of the Chinese and Argentinean situation the articulation of the different principles, that had to be present in the new international order, will be valued.
