| Summary/Abstract |
This article highlights an interesting and often unduly neglected aspect of comparative public policy and administration: local government training. The argument advanced is that local government training based on the centrally focused model may tend to be: (i) skill-oriented and competence-framed; (ii) comprehensive; and (iii) quality-controlled in a relatively rigorous manner. By contrast, local government training based on the locally focused model may tend to be: (i) skill-oriented and competence-framed alongside a focus on 'people' and organizational issues, conventional policy issues and broad local government issues; (ii) non-comprehensive, and (iii) weakly controlled for quality. The integrative model, which is the most innovative form of the three models presented here, may tend to manifest a varied mix of the aforementioned features. Based on an institutional analysis combined with interviews with senior training officials at national and local levels, this argument is illustrated in England and Wales, Denmark and Israel in the hope that it could be a starting point for developing hypotheses and propositions.

| Summary/Abstract |
First authorised in 1987, local village elections in China have been much studied by China scholars to assess the emergence of democracy in the People's Republic. Elected village committees were to manage 'local affairs', including village lands, as a step towards local self-governance. In place of democracy, this article highlights access and control over natural resources in relation to a local village election first held in Mengsong village, Yunnan, in 2000. A comparison of resource access in 1997 and 2002 shows that over this period, Mengsong villagers lost access to forests, agricultural lands, pastures and mineral resources-'local affairs' that an elected committee might have managed. National and local events from 1998 to 2002 signalled a recalibration of people of high and low 'quality' (suzhi) in China, with Mengsong shifting cultivators emerging as 'low quality' people who threatened China's environment and economic development. These changes in status signified a dramatic shift in who was qualified to manage resources, run local affairs and contribute to China as it entered the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in 2001. The discourse of 'quality' resulted in Akha farmers being blamed, and blaming themselves, for their own poverty and resource loss, deflecting attention from the political economic processes that caused their dispossession. Far from the emergence of democracy, the local village election in Mengsong entailed increased state control over people and resources, as China geared up for environmental protection and engagement with the global economy.

| Summary/Abstract |
The field of replication studies remains a controversial, misunderstood, and unappreciated piñata of 18 replication typologies spanning 79 replication types. To help bring order to the chaos, I contribute a theory of manufactured inferences. The theory is built on three pillars: (1) replication causal diagrams (or r-dags for short), (2) a formal conceptualization of study procedures, and (3) the use of Bayesian inference to update our beliefs about the natural phenomenon under investigation and the operating characteristics of the study procedures used to study it. I use this theory to motivate a formal typology of replication types, explaining how they are done and for what purpose. Finally, I discuss some implications of this theory, including the importance of an analytical approach to robustness and generalizability replications, the need to avoid conceptual replications, the possibility of legitimate (unplanned) specification searches, the limitations of meta-analysis, and the false dichotomy between so-called successful and failed replications.
