As part of a special journal forum entitled "Swiss Political Sciences Review." In this brief contribution, the author focuses on Charles Tilly's last book, Contentious Performances (2008b). The author first sketch the main outline of this approach as he understood them. Then the author would like to discuss two of its limits, which he found particularly striking. Every approach has to make some choices, which come with certain costs attached, and Charles Tilly's approach to contentious politics has made some key choices, too. In discussing these limits, the author feel reassured by the encouragement with which the great master of the analysis of contentious politics ended his last book: "If the weaknesses of that approach inspire my reader to invent different and superior methods for investigating contentious performance, he will cheer them on.

This article examines the possibilities for resistant feminine body identity through the lens of Deleuzian feminism. To do this, the author relies on Deleuze's critique of philosophical thought that constructs identity as a series of dichotomous oppositions. According to Deleuze, this process takes place within three dominant strata—organism, significance, and subjectification—that limit the creative potential of theorizing bodily identity. The author further examines Deleuze's alternative, positive approach to disreading bodily identity through such concepts as plane of consistency, assemblange, and the Body without Organs. Finally, the author aims to illustrate the usefulness of Deleuzian philosophy to researchers of sport and exercise through an application into women's fitness practices. More specifically, the author analyzes how Pilates, as a set of exercise practices, might assist in a creation of a Body without Organs.

In this article the author explores how domestic violence prevention efforts have been adversely impacted by the Supreme Court's new "testimonial" approach to the confrontation clause. Examining the Court's trilogy of cases from Crawford to Davis and Hammon, the author argues that the introduction of certain forms of hearsay in criminal cases has been drastically limited by the court's new originalist approach to the Sixth Amendment. The author explains how state spousal privilege statutes often present a significant barrier to obtaining live testimony from victims of domestic violence. The author then argues that state legislatures should reconsider their spousal privilege rules in light of Crawford —many of which are poorly conceived, confused, and outdated—and should reform these statutes to add a spousal crimes exception to both the adverse testimonial privilege and the confidential communication privilege.

The author treats in this article the modalities of ecological-political regulation. At first he analyzes the modalities of regulation that are government-related and connected to the normative engagement of government. The author especially emphasizes the advantageous and less advantageous aspects of the normatively based interventions of government. He critically explores the disadvantageous dimensions of the ecological aid and shows the discrepancy between the short and long run concerning the effects of aid-practice. At second the author deals with the regulation based on the market-mechanisms. The conclusion refers to the trade-off between the normatively determined govern mentality and the market-based mechanisms. The author pays special attention to the emission-trading schemes in Europe and demonstrates the main uncertainties in relation to the market of pollution and emission trading.

In this chapter of Life after Reform: When Bipartisan Campaign Reform Meets Politics, the author examines how House elections have become stagnant, & what impacts the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA) will have on the competition & change in House elections. The author agrees with previous research that incumbency advantage is the result of electoral stagnation & is the result of campaign spending. A causal model of campaign spending that advantages the status quo is supported by analysis of campaign spending disparities. The author argues that BCRA will adversely impact electoral competition to further solidify incumbency advantage through their pre-existing hard money support, the limits on soft money, & restrictions on electioneering for new candidates. The author argues that BCRA is inadequate in that it does not change the system that allows incumbents to buy the elections. 4 Tables, 2 Figures. J. Harwell

The author discusses the differing perspectives which the social sciences offer to young people to analyse problems. Perspectives from history, political science and geography are briefly discussed. The author stresses that the child's perspective of the social world differs from the ones offered by social scientists. Following a summary of the economic thinking of children and adolescents, the author stresses that economics also presents students with an important perspective through the application of economic principles involving choice, costs, incentives, rules, trade, and future consequences. These economic principles are explained by reference to an example of why the buffalo population in the United States nearly became extinct and why it is now recovering. The author concludes with suggestions for how teachers can bring an economic perspective into the classroom. Readers are provided with three 'economic mysteries' as examples of classroom activities.

"The author of this book was in a position which allowed him to become thoroughly conversant with the working of the Government machinery in Russia, and in this volume, originally published in 1938, he presents the situation in Soviet Russia as it developed since the Revolution of 1917 and discusses the events which led up to it. Based mainly on information drawn from Soviet sources, which the author acknowledges may not be impartial, the author nevertheless maintains that a clear outline of the real situation may be inferred."--Provided by publisher.

This book reconstructs the history of what the author calls "the social question," or the ways in which both labor and social welfare have been organized from the Middle Ages onward to contemporary industrial society. Throughout, the author identifies two constants bearing directly on the question of who is entitled to relief and who can be excluded: the degree of embeddedness in any given community and the ability to work. Along this dual axis the author locates virtually the entire history of social welfare in early-modern and contemporary Europe

In this chapter, the author explores the phenomenon of flamboyant girls' fifteenth birthday parties (quinceañeras) as a gender–specific ritual. The author discusses the ways that this life–cycle ritual celebrates the girl's entry into sexual adulthood, portrays her as an object of heterosexual desire, while simultaneously granting the girls ritual and exotic agency. The author concludes that contemporary quinceañera rituals also reflect the island's recent political and economic turn toward a more capitalist society and displays the growing racialized and gendered inequalities on the island. ; Peer reviewed

In this article, derived from her doctoral dissertation, the author (a teacher educator in drama in Ireland) presents her students' initial responses to her performance of a one-woman play, "Goldilocks's Testimony."
