Abstract:

Abstract In this paper, we present an analysis of how constituents procure services at the constituency office of a Member of Parliament (MP) in the United Kingdom. This paper will investigate how several previously documented interactional practices (e.g. entitlement) combine at the constituency office in a way that secures service. From a corpus of 12.5 hours of interaction, and using conversation analysis, we examine constituents’ telephone calls and meetings with constituency office staff and the MP, identifying practices constituents use. First, constituents opened encounters with bids to

Abstract.Effective representation requires that representatives learn of the needs and preferences of their constituents and communicate their representative accomplishments back to those constituents. This article demonstrates how Canadian political parties, specifically their constituency associations in the ridings, assist MPs in their representative functions by facilitating communication between MPs and constituents. Representatives of local “sectors” on constituency association executives provide a means for focused communication between MPs and constituents. The result is that constitue

Abstract:

Numerous scholars have documented a dramatic increase in incumbency advantage in US congressional elections and also state legislative elections over the past four decades. For example, Gelman and King show that incumbents in the House of Representatives now receive about twelve extra percentage points solely as a result of holding congressional office during the campaign; the comparable figure for most of the first half of this century was only 2 per cent. This advantage of incumbency has made members of the US House and many state legislators nearly invulnerable to electoral defeat.

Abstract:

Despite decline in the magnitude of U.S. House members’ personal vote, reelection safety has not been impaired. Oppenheimer’s explanation for this seeming paradox rests upon the growing partisan homogeneity of House districts; i.e., incumbents presumably reduced their level of constituency service knowing that any resulting attrition in their personal vote would be compensated by a more substantial partisan vote. My study uncovers some evidence to back up this explanation. I indeed find that members from safer partisan districts have been perceived by constituents as less engaged in constituen

Abstract:

Mental illness has been long associated with denial of certain human rights, social exclusion and political disempowerment. Too often, the effects of adverse social, economic and political circumstances, along with stigma, constitute a form of ‘structural violence’, which impairs access to psychiatric and social services, and amplifies the effects of mental illness in the lives of sufferers and their families. Existing literature indicates that voting rates are low among people with mental illness and, whereas voting preferences in the mentally ill may tend towards the liberal end of the polit

Abstract This article compares how Members of Parliament in the United Kingdom and Ireland reflect on constituency service as an aspect of political representation. It differs from existing research on the constituency role of mps in two regards. First, it approaches the question from a sociological viewpoint that emphasizes the process character of role-taking and its need for validation by others. Second, instead of relying on interviews and surveys it analyses how mps refer to aspects of constituency work in parliamentary debate. This choice of empirical material opens up a long-term view o

This thesis examines a previously unstudied site of interaction: the constituency office. At the constituency office, Members of Parliament (MPs) hold MP surgeries , during which they help constituents to solve their personal difficulties. This thesis provides the first analysis of interactions at the constituency office. It is the only place where ordinary citizens can meet their MP; as such, it also provides the first analysis of face-to-face, unmediated interactions between politicians and their constituents.

Abstract:

The early 1990's marked the beginning of a new era for Southern Africa when a number of single party states began the transition to multiparty democratic systems. Within this process, democratic institutions were established and then have since played varied roles in normalizing of democratic norms in their respective countries. The elites who make these institutions play a vital role in maintaining democracy within these countries. This study examines their perceptions and actions in order to get a better understanding of the quality of representation and as a result the quality of democracy.

In the South of Italy, the personal vote has represented a synonym for clientelism, understood as a political exchange between votes and particular benefits. The available literature traced the roots of clientelism, from the 1950s onward, to either cultural or structural social determinants, such as cynicism, disenchantment, fatalism or, on the other side, lagging or lacking economic development. Only recently, Political Science has tried new approaches to this phenomenon, by adopting rationalist frameworks to define the strategies underpinning the clientelist bargain. Such a perspecti

Therefore, how to build an image which could be identified by voters would be a point of emphasis in candidates' efforts.

Abstract:

Abstract Waste-to-Energy (WTE) and biomass-fired power generation systems are gaining in popularity worldwide as a means of cleanly disposing of waste and generating needed power in the same operation. Due to the variety of components in the feedstock, conditions vary greatly in the combustion sections of these systems. Municipal solid waste (MSW) often contains significant quantities of plastics which introduce halogens and halides into the environment when burned. Their presence greatly increases the corrosion rate of iron-base materials, thus, necessitating the use of higher nickel alloys.

An experimental design study was undertaken in order to understand the effect of process variables and liquor constituents on corrosion rate and other corrosion parameters of the evaporator walls. A matrix of experiments was set up with eight independent variables at the high and low ends of ranges expected in service. Corrosion parameters such as corrosion current densities, corrosion rate, corrosion potentials, etc were measured in polarization-resistance and potentiodynam

Abstract:

The extent and substance of social welfare policy have been a contentious issue. Academic discipline, culture, and values all contribute to the argument for and against it. Within the issue is also the question regarding the amplitude of government’s role in social welfare policy, which is a form of state intervention. The issue is not only philosophical, but also requires resource relocation. Since the social resource is scare, its relocation means taking some from certain individuals and giving it to others. Since the appropriate level of welfare is hard to determine, this study proposes to

Abstract:

Few propositions in economics are as widely accepted as the theory of comparative advantage: If two countries have a comparative advantage in the production of different goods and services, trade can be welfare-enhancing for both. But trade policy has always been controversial in Latin America, as it is not made by academic economists but by politicians who need to gather and maintain the support of constituents who in some cases have much to lose or gain from different trade policies. This book walks the reader through a complex thicket of contending interests and disparate political institut

Abstract:

Delivering public goods and services requires identifying the needs of constituents and designing policies and programs to address these needs in the hopes of attaining development. These policy and program interventions should get the appropriate budgetary allocations to be implemented and effect change. Identifying the needs helps determine the necessary interventions embodied in plans which, in turn, promotes change and development--this is after it is successfully implemented through budgets. The study looks at this mechanism of development for local governments and maps out the current pl

Abstract:

This paper examines how progressive rights frameworks are instrumentalised as gender backlash tools to suppress feminist activism. I engage with the events following Rehana Fathima’s political act ‘Body and Politics’ which faced strong backlash in the form of censure through law, and discourse capture. Using a conceptual framework I developed, I explore how various backlash concepts – co-option, censure, and discourse capture - discursively interact with each other, and identify factors that facilitate cohesion across backlash actors. I argue that in the Rehana Fathima case, the rights framewo

Abstract:

Outre les services de garde d’enfants subventionnés, les prestations parentales constituent un outil stratégique important pour aider les parents à concilier leurs responsabilités professionnelles et parentales. Au Canada, seuls les parents en emploi qui répondent à certains critères d’admissibilité ont droit à des prestations. Or, si la naissance ou l’adoption d’un enfant entraîne de nouvelles dépenses pour l’ensemble des familles, seules certaines familles au Canada sont admissibles à de telles prestations. Au Québec, les prestations parentales sont versées par l’entremise du Régime québécoi

Abstract:

Melanins are pigmented biomacromolecules found throughout all domains of life. Of melanins’ many unique properties, their malleable electrically conductive properties and their ability to chelate could allow them to serve as material for bioelectronics. Studies have shown that sheets or pellets of melanin conduct low levels of electricity; however, electrical conductance of melanin within a cellular context has not been thoroughly investigated. In addition, given the chelating properties of melanin, it is possible that introducing traditionally con-ductive metal ions could improve the conducti

Abstract:

Les personnes ayant diverses orientations sexuelles, identités de genre et/ou expressions de genre (OSIEG) constituent une population difficile à atteindre. Cela est dû à des cadres juridiques restrictifs, à l'exclusion sociale, à la stigmatisation et à la discrimination dans la prestation de services. Comme les personnes de diverses OSIEG évitent souvent de se faire soigner dans les centres de santé publics, les services de santé liés à la mpox risquent de ne pas leur parvenir.

Abstract:

Sierra Leone has seen a sharp rise in the use of ‘kush’ – a relatively new drug formed through mixing several constituent drugs, including opioids, which is proving highly addictive and is having serious negative health and social consequences. In April 2024, the government declared a public health emergency resulting from high levels of kush use, with security services launching crackdowns.1 Limited data on kush use presents challenges to understanding the scale of the problem. The lack of evidence has hampered the government’s response to the kush crisis. This has contributed to a misunderst
