A widely held & durable normative position has been that policy analysts should attempt to estimate the evaluative reaction of those who will be most directly affected by a government-sponsored or regulated technology. The premise of applied welfare economics is that citizens would divide, substitute, & additively recombine their assessments of the project's impacts in the same manner. An alternative theory is outlined by arguing that citizen preferences will often be contingent on, rather than divisible from, the substantive & procedural characteristics of the context in which a choice takes place. Moreover, it can be predicted that the manner in which these evaluations are substituted & recombined will vary with the internal structure of the individual's value & belief system. By representing that system in terms of a hierarchical model composed of four factors -- common orientation, procedural judgment, desire for personal control, & substantive evaluation -- it is argued that the evaluations of a project will be combined by way of interactive, indirect, & nonrecursive relationships as well as the common additive expectations. Some of the implications of this alternative theory for policy analysis are explored. 3 Figures, 66 References. HA

In this article we seek to specify and measure the paths by which domestic political conflict can diffuse across state boundaries. By focusing on data for Africa and the world from 1962 to 1966 and 1971 to 1975 we have found that receptivity to outside political conflict is contingent upon a recent history of domestic strife and will increase if a society is polarized among a few contending groups. In those countries where the mass media come under central political control, a greater level of media development will slow the spread of conflict by offering political elites an important means by which to control the information available about outside discord.

Based on data for 1962-66 and 1971-75. Influence of recent domestic strife, polarization of contending groups, and control of the mass media by political elites.
