Replication Data for: Democratic Commitment in the Middle East: A Conjoint Analysis
No full textPolls from the Middle East/North Africa show high support for democracy. However, the veracity of this support has been called into question. This study uses a conjoint analysis to show that citizens support democratic institutions, as well as favoring an effective welfare state and a state religion. The results demonstrate that support for elected governance is not contingent on the state’s providing economic benefits; citizens are more likely to favor participatory government at each level of economic outcome. Interest in incorporating religion in the state, however, is contingent on the political and economic profile described; the contingent effects suggest interest in Islamic governance is, at least partly, instrumental. Although pro-democracy public opinion alone does not secure democratization, it creates fertile ground for future democratization movements

Citizens’ democratic attitudes: winning the constituency offsets the negative effect of electoral defeat at the national level
No full textHannah Ridge examines the effect of constituency election victories and defeats on citizens’ democratic opinions in three majoritarian democracies: Australia, Canada, and Great Britain. She finds that winning in the constituency offsets the negative effect of electoral defeat at the national level; among national winners, however, the district result has limited impact on democratic attitudes. Constituency-level victories are less effective at mitigating the effect of national defeat on more diffuse democracy support

Diversity of meiofauna at deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps with particular reference to nematodes
No full textDeep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps are remarkable for their spectacular megaandmacrofauna, many of which appear to have a high level of endemism to these chemosyntheticenvironments. It is not clear whether the patterns of biodiversity, faunal zonationand biogeography documented in these size categories, are also present in the meiofauna.This thesis examines the diversity and density patterns of the meiofauna (with particularreference to nematodes) in quantitative samples collected from: Bathymodiolus mussel bedsin a deep-sea hydrothermal vent field on the East Pacific Rise; Bathymodiolus mussel bedsat an Atlantic methane seep site; an Atlantic hydrothermal vent sediment mound and areference non-chemosynthetic sediment site on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Results suggestedthat deep-water chemosynthetic substrata will generally harbour assemblages exhibitinglower diversity and elevated dominance. The densities of meiobenthos appeared to varyin accordance with the presence of macrofauna. From the study of the meiobenthos ofhydrothermal vent mussel beds spanning 27 degrees of latitude on the EPR, the nematodesshare the same, if not a larger biogeographical province as the macrofauna. Fromcomparison of data collected from the vent mussel beds and the Atlantic methane seepmussel bed, it was evident that the species composition of the nematode assemblage wascompletely different. Density levels and major taxa composition were very similar as aresult of similar local factors acting within the mussel beds. Based on a comparison ofdata collected from all mussel bed samples and the hydrothermal sediment core, it wasevident that the nematode assemblages were significantly different. Factors determiningall the observed differences are discussed
Hannah Arendt: "The Human Condition" and the single thought
No full textopenPartendo dalla biografia della filosofa Hannah Arendt e dalla sua esperienza in quanto ebrea durante la seconda guerra mondiale, verrà fatta un’analisi del processo ad Eichmann come esempio di male banale che si insinua nella società laddove manca una coscienza politica. In ultimo, riprendendo lo scopo dell’opera di Hannah Arendt “Vita Activa”, verrà descritta l’importanza di un esercizio della politica continuo e attivo per contrastare il cosiddetto pensiero unico che, secondo l’autrice stessa, ha portato al sopravvento dei totalitarismi del secolo scorso.Starting from the biography of the philosopher Hannah Arendt and her experience as a Jew during the Second World War, an analysis of the Eichmann trial will be made as an example of banal evil that insinuates itself into society where there is no political conscience. Finally, taking up the purpose of Hannah Arendt's work "The Human Condition", the importance of a continuous and active exercise of politics will be described to counter the so-called single thought that, according to the author herself, led to the prevalence of the totalitarianisms of the last century
The light of the eye : doctrine, piety and reform in the works of Thomas Sherlock, Hannah More and Jane Austen
No full textBibliography: leaves 376-401.This thesis investigates the ways in which three eighteenth-century writers, Bishop Thomas Sherlock, Hannah More and Jane Austen embody orthodox Anglican doctrine according to their individual perceptions of the enlightening properties of Protestant Christianity. After situating them in their respective gender, literary and ecclesiastical contexts, I examine some of their key doctrines and analyse excerpts from their works. My selection of passages from Sherlock's works is fairly comprehensive, but in the case of More and Austen, where there is already a formidable body of literary criticism, it is more selective. Thus, I focus on doctrine in More's tracts, Strictures on the System of Female Education, An Essay on St Paul and most especially Coelebs in Search of a Wife and in the case of Austen, on her prayers and select passages from Sense and Sensibility and Mansfield Park. I conclude that, although diverse in their particular kind of Anglicanism (High, Evangelical and Median) and in their choice of genre, transparency or obscurity (anonymity and pseudonymity) and the various narratological strategies some of them invoke to circumvent certain taboos, Sherlock, More and Austen champion the same central orthodox doctrines, defend them against current alternatives to orthodoxy such as Latitudinarianism, Deism and various forms of Freethinking, and promote similar moral and ecclesiastical reforms. However, indirectly (through female characters who resist male representation or control) the women writers subject their ostensibly authorially-endorsed male narrators/characters to scrutiny and sometimes (when the males objectify the women) subversion
