Do the Poor Count?

Do the Poor Count?

Michelle M. Taylor-Robinson

Pennsylvania State University Press
2010
sidottu
Latin America’s flirtation with neoliberal economic restructuring in the 1980s and 1990s (the so-called Washington Consensus strategy) had the effect of increasing income inequality throughout the region. The aim of this economic policy was in part to create the conditions for stable democracy by ensuring efficient economic use of resources, both human and capital, but the widening gap between rich and poor threatened to undermine political stability. At the heart of the dilemma faced by these new democracies is the question of accountability: Are all citizens equally capable of holding the government accountable if it does not represent their interests? In this book, Michelle Taylor-Robinson investigates both the formal institutions of democracy (such as electoral rules and the design of the legislative and executive branches) and informal institutions (such as the nomination procedures of political parties and patron-client relationships) to see what incentives legislators have to pay attention to the needs of poor people and thereby adequately represent their interests.

Women in Presidential Cabinets

Women in Presidential Cabinets

Maria C. Escobar-Lemmon; Michelle M. Taylor-Robinson

Oxford University Press Inc
2016
sidottu
Though parity is still rare, presidential cabinets contain more women than ever before. Who are these women and what types of political capital resources do they bring to the administration? Are they new types of political players or very much like the men who have traditionally run the government? And once they gain office, are they treated equally in the cabinet? Do they have the capacity to be as effective as their male counterparts? Drawing on data from five presidential democracies -- Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, and the United States -- Women in Presidential Cabinets examines the backgrounds, connections and credentials of all full-rank cabinet ministers in presidential administrations over the course of two decades to determine if women and men bring similar numbers and diversity of political capital resources to the administration. Maria C. Escobar-Lemmon and Michelle M. Taylor-Robinson find that, with a few notable exceptions, presidents select men and women with similar work and education backgrounds, political experience, and linkages to related interest groups. There are, however, differences across types of posts and countries. They evaluate the treatment and effectiveness of similarly credentialed male and female ministers on four benchmarks. Specifically, they examine whether women with equal qualifications can really obtain all posts or whether glass ceilings persist in some areas. They then turn to the ability of women to hold onto a post, considering the nature and circumstances surrounding their departures from office and how long they remain in office. In doing so, they uncover evidence that female ministers in Latin America stand on an unequal playing field when it comes to the ability to enact policy through legislation. Ultimately, Escobar-Lemmon and Taylor-Robinson show conclusively that while women lack numerical equality, they are no longer tokens, instead appearing positioned to exercise power at the highest levels within the executive branch.

Negotiating Democracy

Negotiating Democracy

Gretchen Casper; Michelle M. Taylor

University of Pittsburgh Press
1996
nidottu
This book explains why some countries succeed in installing democracy after authoritarian rule, and why some of these new democracies make progress toward consolidation. Casper and Taylor show that a democratic government can be installed when elite bargaining during the transition process is relatively smooth. They view elite bargaining in twenty-four transitions cases, some where continued authoritarianism was the result, others where a democratic government was the result, and a third outcome where progress towards consolidation was the end product.

I den svenska översättningen av Kielhofner’s Model of Human Occupation (femte amerikanska upplagan, den andra i svensk översättning), presenteras teori, forskning och tillämpning av modellen i boken. Modellen förklarar hur aktivitet motiveras, inordnas i vardagens livsmönster, utförs och påverkas av aktuell miljökontext samt vad som händer när människan ställs inför svårigheter som sjukdom, skador och annat som leder till problem med att utföra aktiviteter. I boken diskuteras hur arbetsterapi med stöd av modellen kan möjliggöra för människor att engagera sig i aktiviteter som ger mening och tillfredsställelse och som gynnar deras fysiska och emotionella välbefinnande. MOHO är den internationellt mest spridda och använda aktivitetsfokuserade modellen inom arbetsterapi. Boken innehåller rikligt med exempel på hur MOHO kan användas vid personcentrerad arbetsterapi. Modellen grundar sig på omfattande forskning och det finns ett starkt evidensbaserat empiriskt stöd för modellen och dess användning, vilket framkommer i bokens rika referensmaterial. I denna femte upplaga av boken har nya kapitel med tillämpning av modellen inom olika områden tillkommit och miljöns betydelse för görande och aktivitet har utvecklats. Boken vänder sig främst till arbetsterapeuter, studenter och forskare inom arbetsterapi men även till andra som vill fördjupa sig kring människans engagemang och delaktighet i aktivitet.Den engelska originalupplagan är publicerad av Wolters Kluwer.

Michelle now travels and goes on many television shows to tell her story so she can help others that were lost as she was. Michelle is so passionate about what she does now in her life. Michelle wants to help so many and has already helped so many that have been domestically abused mentally, emotionally and so often physically. Michelle also was raised in a very dysfunctional family with the feeling of no love. Now in the world we have so many people out there men and women that are so unaware that this is happening to them. As we turn on our televisions everyday we hear of how someone shot their spouse then shoot their selves and sometimes even the children. My mission in this world is to make people aware of Domestic Abuse and Dysfunctional Families that she endured for so many years of her own life. Michelle also lost custody of her first daughter because of a man, and how he lied to her parents, her parents fault for custody without even talking to Michelle and they took her first daughter away from her and made it very difficult to see her. This was revenge for Michelle's Mother. Michelle candidly shares her darkest secrets and her pain in this book "Lies In The Womb". Michelle married one man after another just to seek love, had four children by four different men, but the love she got was never love, it was abuse in one way or another. Please help Michelle by buying her book or inviting her to go to an speaking engagement so she can continue helping others. "The FINAL Chapter Of ABUSE' is my second book. These books are educational about abuse and dysfunctional families. Abuse comes in many forms, PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, VERBALLY, CONTROLLING, etc. I have endured all forms of abuse, and during my life I actually thought this was the way life was suppose to be. I hope all will enjoy this book as much as the book Lies In The Womb. I hope all that either is in a dysfunctional family or in an abusive relationship can learn from my choices, and mistakes I have made during the coarse of my life. While writing these books, and doing speaking engagements and teaching others about abuse, and dysfunctional families. I have been so blessed that God has helped me teach so many, and help so many.This is an amazing book about the abuse I endured throughout my childhood and along with my adult hood with numerous husbands. This book is one you can learn from by learning from my mistakes of not feeling no self worth, no self value, and not believing in myself as I should for many years, not knowing God as I do today. I promise you will enjoy this book so get yours now. Always trust God and have the faith because God will bring you through any situation. As I walked out on faith, from being abused mentally, verbally and more God has blessed me in ways it would be so hard for anyone to believe. I have never seen so many doors open as they have opened since the day I walked out on faith. The day I walked out was one of the scariest days of my life, I had no home, no money, no where to live, no food, no gas in my car to go far, I had no idea where I was going, how I was going to eat, and on top of all these things happening in my life, my MS was acting up so badly, that I fell and my ear was bleeding, I was in such termoil, with so many decisions. This book is MY FINAL CHAPTER OF ABUSE

Numerical Analysis

Numerical Analysis

Michelle Schatzman; John Taylor

Oxford University Press
2002
sidottu
Numerical analysis explains why numerical computations work, or fail. This book is divided into four parts. Part I starts with a guided tour of floating number systems and machine arithmetic. The exponential and the logarithm are constructed from scratch to present a new point of view on questions well-known to the reader, and the needed knowledge of linear algebra is summarized. Part II starts with polynomial approximation (polynomial interpolation, mean-square approximation, splines). It then deals with Fourier series, providing the trigonometric version of least square approximations, and one of the most important numerical algorithms, the fast Fourier transform. Any scientific computation program spends most of its time solving linear systems or approximating the solution of linear systems, even when trying to solve non-linear systems. Part III is therefore about numerical linear algebra, while Part IV treats a selection of non-linear or complex problems: resolution of linear equations and systems, ordinary differential equations, single step and multi-step schemes, and an introduction to partial differential equations. The book has been written having in mind the advanced undergraduate students in mathematics who are interested in the spice and spirit of numerical analysis. The book does not assume previous knowledge of numerical methods. It will also be useful to scientists and engineers wishing to learn what mathematics has to say about the reason why their numerical methods work - or fail.
