Hi Emma, Thank you for your detailed response. I look forward to learning more about OFS.  I agree--there's no reason to re-create the wheel. Perhaps a representative from your organization would be interested in coming to Baltimore to ...

Mark, Yes - that is what I have in mind. But after a week, to put it mildly, not much reaction.  But yes, if someone wants to do some other case study topic, no problem! Great. I think I will pass, however, on the numbering system. The pro...

I'm currently reading Ben Dangl's book on social movements in Latin America, Dancing with Dynamite. I must say, it takes learning about what poor workers in South America are doing to get a sense of what the processes of democratization an...

Hi Stephen, Stephen, In one of your earlier posts you said "I think building a central website, similar to PPS-UK, that is linked directly with Z is a great idea. Unfortunately I do not possess the skills to create it. One of the main reaso...

Dropping in terminology - Throughout this chapter you drop in a number of phrases that people who know your work will understand but those new to it will not.  For example “monist”, “holist”, “institutional bound...

Hi Jason, Thanks for the offer.  Did you use web design software to build the site? If so, which do you recommend? I've thought about learning CoffeeCup (http://www.coffeecup.com/).
