Given the enormous challenges they face, why do so many citizens in developing countries routinely turn out to vote? This Element explores a new explanation grounded in the social origins of electoral participation in emerging democracies, where mobilization requires local collective action. This Element argues that, beyond incentives to express ethnic identity and vote-buying, perceptions of social sanctioning from community-based formal and informal actors galvanize many to vote who might otherwise stay home. Sanctioning is reinforced by the ability to monitor individual turnout given the open layout and centralized locations of polling stations and the use of electoral ink that identifies voters. This argument is tested using original survey and qualitative data from Africa and Afghanistan, contributing important insights on the nature of campaigns and elections in the promotion of state-building and service delivery, and the critical role voters play reducing fears of global democratic backsliding.
What are the social and political consequences of poor state governance and low state legitimacy? Under what conditions does lynching – lethal, extralegal group violence to punish offenses to the community – become an acceptable practice? We argue lynching emerges when neither the state nor its challengers have a monopoly over legitimate authority. When authority is contested or ambiguous, mass punishment for transgressions can emerge that is public, brutal, and requires broad participation. Using new cross-national data, we demonstrate lynching is a persistent problem in dozens of countries over the last four decades. Drawing on original survey and interview data from Haiti and South Africa, we show how lynching emerges and becomes accepted. Specifically, support for lynching most likely occurs in one of three conditions: when states fail to provide governance, when non-state actors provide social services, or when neighbors must rely on self-help.

Recognizing Sinocentrism as the core motivation behind Xi Jinping’s vision for the reconstruction of Asia, Rozman, Sun, and Cohen present a comprehensive and updated analysis of Chinese foreign policy toward Asia, uncovering the deep-seated calculations behind Xi’s policies across four arenas of distinct interest in the last decade.The book employs strategic thinking and Chinese language resources to examine multiple areas of China’s foreign policy, gaining insight into policy development and its wider consequences for Asia. It critically examines numerous facets of China’s foreign policy, including Chinese perceptions of the US role in the Indo-Pacific; strategic thinking toward Northeast Asia; policies toward India, Southeast Asia and Australia; and the approach to Central Asia to comprehensively ascertain Xi’s strategies and motivations. By examining the reticence of Chinese spokespeople and publications to identify the objectives of China’s policies over a decade, the book interrogates the predominant motivation of Xi’s Sinocentrism in creating a dominant civilization insistent on subservience within its sphere.The authors provide a timely assessment of China’s grand strategy and Xi Jinping’s ambitious efforts to build a Sinocentric axis in Asia and a valuable resource for students, academics, policymakers, and researchers of Asian Studies, International Relations, Asian security, Xi Jinping thought, Sinocentrism, and Chinese foreign policy.

Esse livro nasce duas perspectivas: de um lado o desejo de poder oferecer ao ouvidores psic ticos um tratamento para as alucina es auditivas menos invasivas e mais efetivas. Nosso intuito oferecer aos leitores a hist ria da psiquiatria, sua evolu o e como alguns tratamentos eram at mesmo cruel. Hoje com o avan o das medica es poss vel cuidar de um ouvidor de voz de maneira mais humana com o uso da medica o espec fica. Entretanto, mesmo com os avan os, sabemos que a aten o psicossocial t o importante quanto a medica o. Assim sendo, apresentamos os resultados de um grupo de ouvidores de vozes psic ticos que se beneficiaram muito com o grupo de autoajuda. A outra perspectiva tem a ver com o fato de que muitas pessoas ouvem vozes e n o s o psic ticas. Elas conseguem conviver muito bem com suas vozes. Acreditamos que a experi ncia de ouvir vozes e conviver com elas sem o uso de medica o pode nos ajudar a compreender como os psic ticos podem encontrar formas de levar suas vidas de maneira produtivas mesmo ouvindo vozes. Boa leitura
Dieses Buch entstand aus zwei Perspektiven: zum einen aus dem Wunsch heraus, psychotischen H rern eine weniger invasive und wirksamere Behandlung f r akustische Halluzinationen anbieten zu k nnen. Unser Ziel ist es, den Lesern einen berblick ber die Geschichte der Psychiatrie, ihre Entwicklung und die Tatsache zu geben, dass einige Behandlungen sogar grausam waren. Dank der Fortschritte in der Medizin ist es heute m glich, Stimmenh rer mit speziellen Medikamenten auf humanere Weise zu behandeln. Doch auch mit diesen Fortschritten wissen wir, dass die psychosoziale Betreuung ebenso wichtig ist wie die medikament se. Wir stellen daher die Ergebnisse einer Gruppe von psychotischen Stimmenh rern vor, die sehr von der Selbsthilfegruppe profitiert haben. Die andere Perspektive hat mit der Tatsache zu tun, dass viele Menschen Stimmen h ren und nicht psychotisch sind. Sie k nnen sehr gut mit ihren Stimmen leben. Wir glauben, dass die Erfahrung, Stimmen zu h ren und ohne Medikamente damit zu leben, uns helfen kann zu verstehen, wie Psychotiker Wege finden k nnen, ihr Leben produktiv zu f hren, auch wenn sie Stimmen h ren. Viel Spa beim Lesen.
