This article examines marriage patterns among immigrants and their children as a way to analyze the interplay of primary social networks and local conditions in the social adaptation of two communities of Portuguese immigrants in Argentina. Its main focus is on the factors involved in marriages within the same ethnic group and their evolution over time from a comparative perspective. The analysis considers aspects of marital selection in the main places of origin of the immigrants in the Algarve, southern Portugal, and their influence in the places of settlement; the factors that influenced the selection of spouses in both communities by gender and over time; and the changes from the first to the second generation. Factors, such as gender, the nature and rhythm of immigration, and the occupation of the immigrants and their families, proved very important in marital selection. Environmental factors were also significant. Oil production dominated Comodoro Rivadavia, while intensive family farming in a suburban setting characterized Villa Elisa. Through the comparative analysis of these two contrasting, receiving societies, the article examines the interplay between primary social networks based on national and ethnic origin and socioeconomic local conditions. 相似文献

One of the intriguing phenomena in democracy is the fact that politicians involved in, accused of or condemned for corruption in a court of law get re-elected by their constituents. In some cases, corruption does not seem to negatively affect the development of political careers. In this introductory article, we try to develop a multidimensional framework for analysing electoral punishment of corruption. First, we will look into various studies on electoral punishment and highlight their advancements and shortcomings. Then, we will propose a more dynamic account of electoral punishment of corruption that takes into account individual as well as macro level explanations. Finally, we will disaggregate these two analytical dimensions into various explanatory factors. 相似文献

Drawing inferences about individual behavior from aggregate ecological data has been a persistent problem in electoral and behavioral studies, in spite of important methodological advances. In a recent article Anselin and Tam Cho (2002) provided Monte Carlo evidence that King's Ecological Inference (EI) solution will produce biased estimates in the presence of extreme spatial heterogeneity. In this article we provide further empirical evidence that supports their findings and shows that in the presence of spatial effects the residuals of Goodman's naïve model exhibit the same spatial structure that King's local B B i estimates. Solving for extreme spatial heterogeneity, it is argued here, requires controlling the omitted variable bias expressed in the spatial structure of much ecological data. In this article we propose a Geographically Weighted Regression approach (GWR) for solving problems of spatial aggregation bias and spatial autocorrelation that affect all known methods of ecological inference. The estimation process is theoretically intuitive and computationally simple, showing that a well-specified GWR approach to Goodman and King's Ecological Inference methods may result in unbiased and consistent local estimates of ecological data that exhibit extreme spatial heterogeneity. 相似文献

How can non-profit organisations achieve their intended impact on society? This article analyses factors that influence non-profit action in two key situations: when these organisations work autonomously from the government, and when they work in collaboration with the government. Based on interviews with experienced non-profit leaders in Brazil, the article presents typical paths for success and common reasons for failure in achieving non-profits’ intended outcomes. Organisational, relational and contextual factors influence non-profit action, leading to different outcomes. Brazilian non-profits provide lessons for non-profit action in developing countries contexts that experience cycles of political and economic instability. 相似文献

Combining data from police statistics and crime victim surveys, this article analyses the evolution of crime in Western Europe
from 1988 to 2007. The results show that there is no general drop in crime. Property offences and homicide have been decreasing
since the mid 1990s, while violent and drug offences have increased during the period under study. These trends highlight
the limits of the explanations to the crime drop in the United States, which are based on the premise of a correlation in
the evolution of all offences. The drop in property offences seems related to changes in the socioeconomic situation in Europe
as well as to increases in security measures in households, and the reinforcement of private security. The increase in violent
offences can be explained by the combination of several factors, including changes in youth’s free time provoked by the development
of the Internet, changing demographics, and the rise of episodic heavy alcohol consumption and street gangs. 相似文献

In this empirical paper, we contribute to this special issue on “The Marketing and Public Affairs of Sustainability” by addressing value creation, the raison d'être for the marketing scholarship, from a social sustainability perspective. Our evidence shows that during the interlinked practices of a focal organization and its external stakeholders, the practices from the former emit trustworthiness signals which translate into factors for stakeholder value for the latter, as precursor to stakeholder value cocreation or value destruction. Therefore, utility is not the result of an organization's decision-making and actions but rather, it is shaped by these interlinked practices, moderated by each stakeholder group's dynamic reference state. We believe that our explanatory model, by showing that trustworthiness and stakeholder engagement are endogenous to value creation, is consistent with the view of corporate sustainability as a persuasive and effective organizational management idea. 相似文献

On the basis of the data contained in the European Sourcebook, this article tries to answer the question: 'What influences the prisoner rate most? The number of entries into prison, the length of sentences, or the crime rate?' The authors show that the crime rate is absolutely not correlated with the prisoner rate. The latter depends principally on the length of the imposed custodial sanctions and secondly on the number of those imposed prison sentences. Nevertheless, there are some indications suggesting that these results could be different from one type of offence to another. Unfortunately, this hypothesis could not be tested on the basis of the European Sourcebook data. 相似文献
