Debating the Color Revolutions
In Lucan Way’s insightful, highly structural account of the color revolutions, they had to happen.1 Each was separately determined by the weakness of the authoritarian regimes. As Way puts it, “regime collapses have resulted more from authoritarian weakness than opposition strength” (62). For Way, it is even misleading to conceptualize these events as revolutions; they were authoritarian turnov...
متن کاملTechnological Revolutions
In skill-biased (de-skilling) technological revolutions learning investments required by new machines are greater (smaller) than those required by preexisting machines. Skill-biased (de-skilling) revolutions trigger reallocations of capital from slow(fast-) to fast(slow-) learning workers, thereby reducing the relative and absolute wages of the former. The model of skill-biased (de-skilling) re...
متن کاملMapping the genes that made maize.
George Beadle proposed that the striking morphological differences between cultivated maize and its probable wild progenitor (teosinte) were initiated by a small number of mutations with large effects on adult morphology. Recent genetic analyses using molecular markers provide some support for this view and show where in the maize genome the putative loci are likely to be located. This work set...

Then suddenly the building is revealed – a stunning Victorian Gothic façade, heavy oak doors, soaring towers and intricate gargoyles, all bathed in summer sunshine. I drive on past the original Jacobean Wing ...
متن کاملThe Structure of Scientific Revolutions
VIII. The Response to Crisis Let us then assume that crises are a necessary precondition for the emergence of novel theories and ask next how scientists respond to their existence. Part of the answer, as obvious as it is important, can be discovered by noting first what scientists never do when confronted by even severe and prolonged anomalies. Though they may begin to lose faith and then to co...
