Drawing attention to the importance of peoples' perceptions of diversity in explaining levels of social cohesion, Ethnic Diversity and Social Cohesion shows how specific types of perceived diversity can help explain the reasons for which ethnic diversity is associated with declines in social cohesion, and the contexts and conditions in which this occurs. The book also outlines potential courses of action, revealing the important roles of residential segregation, children and interethnic partners in overcoming barriers of language, values and cognitive bias.

Depuis la mise en œuvre par Mikhaïl Gorbatchev de la perestroïka et des réformes qu'elle impliquait, la Russie a connu des bouleversements de très grande ampleur et a dû appréhender de nouveaux enjeux. Devenue un État indépendant suite à l'effondrement de l'URSS, elle s'est trouvée confrontée à des défis multiples : trouver une nouvelle place sur la scène internationale mais aussi, à l'intérieur de ses frontières, fonder de nouvelles institutions, opérer la transition vers l'économie de marché, repenser l'organisation politique de sa diversité spatiale et identitaire. La société russe, elle, a reçu de plein fouet le choc de ces bouleversements. Tandis que le pays entre dans un nouveau cycle électoral, comment le système institutionnel détermine-t-il le cadre du jeu politique? Quelles valeurs sous-tendent ce système? Peut-on parler d'un régime de parti dominant? Quel bilan peut-on tirer des politiques mises en œuvre par le pouvoir fédéral face aux aspirations régionales et en particulier face à la crise tchétchène? Quels rapports entretiennent le pouvoir politique et la sphère économique dans la Russie d'aujourd'hui? Comment la société civile se situe-t-elle dans le champ politique? Comment perçoit-elle les acteurs qui la gouvernent? Afin de présenter dans leur complexité les processus en cours dans la Russie d'aujourd'hui, ce livre rassemble des travaux d'auteurs issus de disciplines et d'horizons différents qui vivent en Russie ou s'y rendent régulièrement.

"Health care is political. It entails fierce battles over the allocation of resources, arguments over the imposition of regulations, and the mediation of dueling public sentiments-all conflicts that are often narrated from a national, top-down view. In 'All Health Politics Is Local', Merlin Chowkwanyun shifts our focus, taking us to four very different places-New York City, Los Angeles, Cleveland, and central Appalachia-to experience a national story through a regional lens"--

This is the ninth volume of a well-established series in which expert practitioners discuss topical aspects of light scattering in solids. It reviews recent developments concerning mainly semiconductor nanostructures and inelastic x-ray scattering, including both coherent time-domain and spontaneous scattering studies. In the past few years, light scattering has become one of the most important research and characterization methods for studying carbon nanotubes and semiconducting quantum dots, and a crucial tool for exploring the coupled exciton--photon system in semiconductor cavities. Among the novel techniques discussed in this volume are pump--probe ultrafast measurements and those which use synchrotron radiation as light source. The book addresses improvements in the intensity, beam quality and time synchronization of modern synchrotron sources, which made it possible to measure the phonon dispersion in very small samples and to determine electronic energy bands as well as enabling real-time observations of high-frequency sound propagation.

This study of kinship relations, economics, and household organization among the modern Longhouse Iroquois, located in Ontario, Canada, fills a crucial gap in our knowledge of modern Iroquoian culture and history and provides a treasury of information about Longhouse social organization. Founded by nearly two thousand Iroquois allies of the British crown in 1784, the Six Nations Reserve became the first Iroquoian community to contain members of all five tribes of the original Iroquois Confederacy. By the mid-twentieth century, the reserve had divided along the lines of politics and religion into two distinct social groups, those who practiced Christianity and the followers of the more traditional Longhouse religion. In the late 1950s, Merlin G. Myers conducted fieldwork among these traditionalists. He collected data on household structure and kinship relations from 150 families and interpreted his findings within the context of structural-functional anthropology, providing a rare example of British anthropological theory from this time applied to a North American Native community. His work also features valuable Cayuga linguistic contributions.
