| Summary/Abstract |
Contemporary sociology is saddled with a culture-structure binary but the fault for its existence lies mostly with cultural sociology. This article is devoted to four related assertions: (1) There has never been any agreement on the definition of culture, making cultural sociology a field unable to define its central concept. (2) The binary ignores the fact that the proper explanation of social behaviour requires both structure and culture; culture cannot be its own cause. (3) Cultural sociology is soft and sentimental, avoiding conflict as well as politics. (4) It neglects policy and policy-relevant research even more than the rest of sociology. Structural sociology has some shortcomings as well, however, and the culture-structure binary should be abandoned.

| Summary/Abstract |
Disasters both manmade as well as natural often result in great physical and material loss for the affected communities, besides affecting the social, physical and psychological well-being of the survivors in its aftermath. It has been seen that disasters have an adverse impact on the survival, dignity and livelihoods of individuals and communities, particularly of the poor, in both developed and less developed countries. There are multiple factors which have been attributed as causes of these extreme events, like environmentally unsound practices, global climatic changes, population growth, urbanization, social injustice, poverty etc. However, when it comes to comprehension of disasters in contemporary times, there is a need to look at disaster as social phenomena. This is precisely, with regard to man- nature relationship discourse. While explaining this relationship, Kroeber (1939 p1), rightly writes, ' while it is true that cultures are rooted in nature, and can therefore never be understood except with reference to that piece of nature in which they occur, they are no more produced by that nature thana plant" is produced or caused by the soil in which it is rooted. The immediate causes of cultural phenomena are other cultural phenomena.

| Summary/Abstract |
This study analyzes the party system in Indonesia's parliamentary elections since 1999. It argues that neither district magnitude nor social diversity accounts for the dramatically increased number of parties in votes at the district level over time; the increase may stem from the introduction of popular presidential elections and the rise of new issues.

| Summary/Abstract |
The concept of women's empowerment is historically associated with national liberation movements throughout the world. the contributions of the American civil rights movement, and contributions of feminist movements in developing countries in Latin America and Asia. This concept focused on collective empowerment challenging the stereotypes about gender relations and was used, clearly and explicitly. in the l970s in order to launch the struggle for social justice and equality between women and men._ and facilitated through the establishment of economic, social and political structures. During the 1990s this concept lost its original transformational, and to a degree radical. concept, when it was linked to the ongoing transformations in the global economy and changes in the nature of the state and civil society. and to improvements at the level of development theories. Development discourse has focused on expanding women's options and levels of production as individuals, in most cases apart from the work programs of' women's -movements in the context of the state's withdrawal and abandoning of' its responsibilities in the spheres of economic and social support.'

| Summary/Abstract |
This article argues that constructivism in International Relations (IR) suffers from certain important shortcomings in its analysis of the idea of social context. Specifically it is argued that constructivists fail to adequately engage with 'social structural' forces in world politics. While constructivists have pitched themselves as theorists who aim to account for the role of social context in world political inquiry, their conceptual focus on ideational factors - rules, norms and inter-subjective beliefs - has resulted in an inadequate, or incomplete, conceptualisation of social structure. Constructivists, it is argued here, tend to leave the role of materially embodied social structures theoretically and empirically unexplored. The limitations of constructivist treatments of social context have significant consequences for their analysis of world politics, for example, for recent constructivist attempts to deal with international law. Constructivist interventions into analysis of law remain deficient in important senses because of their failure to conceive of international law in social structural terms and because of their inability to explore in depth law's relationship with other social structures, such as patriarchy or capitalism. This entails that the structured systems of inequality and hierarchy embodied in law fail to be adequately recognised. Recognising the 'incompleteness' of the constructivist accounts of social context, we argue, is important in highlighting the often un-noted limitations of constructivist scholarship and in potentially redirecting constructivist scholarship towards closer engagement with 'critical theory' investigations into IR and law.

| Summary/Abstract |
Community Policing (CP) is a new philosophy of police administration
which believes that creative solutions for various problems can be
sought and quality of life in the community can be improved only by
working together via police-community interaction. Mainstream CP
literature starts with a basic observation which informs every theory
throughout maintaining that in a democratic State run by the people we
must understand how common people conceive the nature of crime and
role of the police. A cursory review of literature reveals that in spite of
its success, there is no scientific, logical, predictable, refutable theory
explaining and explicating, predicting and refuting CP practices. The
present paper is an attempt to do so and would analyse various
theoretical constructs that support and strengthen the basic ideas relating
to disorganisation and social control, democratic policing, public order
management and different methods and styles of community policing

One would think that unipoles have it made.After all, unipolarity is a condition of minimal constraint.Unipoles should be able to do pretty much what they want in the world since, by definition, no other state has the power to stop them.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article investigates the Movement for Democracy in Liberia (MODEL) through a revised Weberian framework that focuses on legitimacy and offers a thick description of the different phases of this armed group. The article argues that the key to fostering cohesion is the harmonization of the micro, meso, and macro levels. This proved a difficult undertaking for the MODEL. Not only did the MODEL lack material resources but it also relied on different and evolving kinds of legitimacy on these levels. With its sources of legitimacy exhausted after the war, the MODEL ceased to exist.

| Summary/Abstract |
Research on violent mobilization broadly emphasizes who joins rebellions and why, but neglects to explain the timing or nature of participation. Support and logistical apparatuses play critical roles in sustaining armed conflict, but scholars have not explained role differentiation within militant organizations or accounted for the structures, processes, and practices that produce discrete categories of fighters, soldiers, and staff. Extant theories consequently conflate mobilization and participation in rebel organizations with frontline combat. This article argues that, to understand wartime mobilization and organizational resilience, scholars must situate militants in their organizational and social context. By tracing the emergence and evolution of female-dominated clandestine supply, financial, and information networks in 1980s Lebanon, it demonstrates that mobilization pathways and organizational subdivisions emerge from the systematic overlap between formal militant hierarchies and quotidian social networks. In doing so, this article elucidates the nuanced relationship between social structure, militant organizations, and sustained rebellion.

| Summary/Abstract |
Genetic diversity in the field is the key to long-term sustainable food production. In agriculture and forestry, genetic diversity can enhance production in all agricultural and ecosystem zones. Genetic erosion is the loss of genetic diversity, which is being caused not just at the level of individual genes but at the level of gene combination, which is even more dangerous. The main cause of genetic erosion is varietal replacement. However, there are many traditional varieties that are extremely high yielding and that can, in fact, form a much bigger mix of varieties available in the field than this very narrow approach to increasing productivity would suggest. Genetic erosion is happening at a more rapid pace in developing countries because of the somewhat faulty planning to bring about change and increase productivity. Above all, agrobiodiversity, which is genetic diversity related to agriculture, is threatened not because of overuse but because it is not used

| Summary/Abstract |
A diaspora exists precisely because it remembers the 'homeland' without this memory this migrants and settlers would be simply people in a new setting, into which they merge, bringing little or nothing to the new home, accepting in various way and forms the mores and attitudes that already exists in their new country and society … The people of the Diaspora, however do not merely settle in new countries: they recreate in their socio-economic, political and cultural institutions a version of that homeland that they remember. (Reeves and Rai 2006: 17).

| Summary/Abstract |
Industrial action in export processing zones challenges the conventions of labour protest. Labour relations in domestic and foreign direct investment enterprises in industrial parks and export processing zones in Ho Chi Minh City were researched in 2018, with findings that divide into two areas of interest: (a) the ways ‘innovation’ in the economy has affected changes for the subjects involved in labour relations; (b) with strikes being a manifestation of conflict in labour relations, after a period of sharp increase (2011), there has been a decreasing number in recent years, but with changing characteristics. In particular, when a strike occurs now, the trade union which used to be the unique legal representative of all Vietnamese employees is less often favoured, and others are chosen by the employees to negotiate with the business owner. This trend will perhaps be formalized as Vietnam implements international labour–trade union commitments recently adopted.

| Summary/Abstract |
Cultural traditions influence historical processes in the form of structural norms, as well as the ideologies, behavioural types and judgement standards of social actors. This article studies how people react and what social results have emerged from their interactions in a rapidly changing society based on the case of Osman Batur in the Kazakh society in Xinjiang, China, in the 1940s. Although Osman passed away 60 years ago, his influence lives on and the debate on this historical figure continues: whether “East Turkistan Republic” in the 1940s was a separatist rebellion or revolutionary movement, and whether Osman was a national hero who defended China’s unity or a counter-revolutionary bandit. This debate will continue under new conditions and influence ethnic relations in the 21st century.
