Race,class, and politics in the black community of Boston

Conclusion We found that there are indeed some slight differences in the electoral behavior of black voters when we separate them into high and low socio-economic areal categories based on the level of median income. These slight differences include turnout rates for primary and general elections and voter registration rates. The higher the socioeconomic status of the black electorate in Boston, the higher the turnout and registration rates for that area tended to be; however, this relationship was not found to be consistent among all the areas selected for study. Despite these differences in electoral behavior or “practices,” our areal model does not suggest any significant political schisms based on the sicioeconomic indicators used. Black voters tended to vote the same way on a number of city and state ballot questions, support the same candidates at both the city and state level, and vote the liberal preference on both issues and candidates regardless of socioeconomic background. In addition, there is some evidence that the higher a black voter is on the socioeconomic scale, the greater his or her tendency will be to vote the liberal position on various issues and candidates. Our model also suggests that black voters will tend to support black candidates regardless of some socioeconomic factors. If this model can be used as an indication of class differences in the black community, then our data show that socioeconomic criteria are not as salient as race in determining the political behavior and preferences of black voters.     

工业化大国崛起模式背后的理性计算——历史透视及其对中国的启示

工业时代的历史经验表明,大国崛起时期市场环境[1]的差异导致了各种类型崛起模式的出现。不同的崛起模式选择和战略空间定位是约束条件下崛起国基于经济理性计算的结果。对于不同类型的崛起模式及其成本—收益计算的归纳显示,大国在选择崛起方式的过程中存在市场强制扩张和市场自发扩展之间的相互替代效应。崛起国市场扩张强制力度的大小取决于其崛起进程中市场自发扩展的空间。这一视角将有助于理解中国崛起的模式选择与外部市场环境之间的关系。     

科学的社会文化属性刍议——兼论科学与宗教的关系

科学不但是一种知识形态,它还具有深刻的社会文化属性。作为一种特殊的意识形态,科学不但表达了人的自然观,还直接或间接地影响着我们的整个思维方式和价值观念;科学作为一种特殊的文化现象,不但表征了人类智力活动的特点,更重要的是科学与人类文化的其他方面存在着内在的共同性,并且处于相互制约、影响的关系之中。作为两种社会文化要素,科学与宗教的关系在历史中不断超越。     

Poverty, Place or Race: Causes of the Retail Gap in Smaller U.S. Cities

In this study we explore the possibility that any or all of three dimensions of the U.S. inner city, central location, relatively low income, and a relatively high percentage of minority residents, correlate with a relative lack of neighborhood retail services, the so-called retail gap. Our empirical analysis is based on zip code level data for 39 U.S. cities with populations from 50 to 225 thousand people. After specifying an empirical model based on hypotheses drawn from the urban economics, urban studies, and urban development literature, we test access to retail services using both geographical density and per capita retail measures. While several results from this study are worthy of discussion, our primary empirical finding is that neighborhoods with high percentages of African-Americans are systematically under-served by retail, all else equal, while Latino, low income, or otherwise centrally located neighborhoods are not. We then test a selection of product categories for retail density, finding some differing results by product category but verifying our more general conclusions for most products. Finally, we find that grocery stores have significantly smaller scale in African-American communities, a finding that provides partial support for the urban “food desert” hypothesis. These findings suggest that the inner city retail gap may be more of a racial than geographic issue, and that increased emphasis on racial composition is warranted in the retail development policies applied to smaller U.S. cities.
