This chapter introduces the main elements of the research design for the empirical chapters in the book. Starting with the event reports provided by the Mass Mobilization in Autocracies Database, the chapter develops a research design that studies variation in local Internet penetration and anti-regime protest. The chapter motivates the choice of the sub-national unit of observation (cities), and temporal units of analysis (years, weeks). It introduces a new measure of Internet penetration derived from network measurements, developed in collaboration with computer scientists. The high level of spatial and temporal resolution allows for one of the most detailed analyses so far in the study of mass protest. The chapter also introduces the statistical models used for the analysis. The book relies on Bayesian multilevel models, a framework that takes into account the hierarchical structure of the data and has advantages in the analysis of data with skewed dependent variables.

El artículo pretende mostrar cómo fue la transición de Estado Soberano de Boyacá a Departamento Político Administrativo durante la Regeneración entre 1886 y 1903. El proceso estuvo acompañado por una serie de reformas de carácter económico, político y social, que consolidaron un nuevo proyecto de unidad nacional a partir de la Constitución de 1886. La Regeneración se presenta como un proyecto político que transformó las relaciones entre el Estado y la sociedad, el cual afectó también la autonomía regional como consecuencia de una dependencia con el gobierno central. Es una fase donde se evidencia el paso de un sistema federalista a otro centralista, con miras a construir un modelo de ciudadano que respondiera al ideal de construcción de una nación unitaria.  La autora se apoya en fuentes periodísticas  como el Diario Oficial, El Boyacense, El Espectador, entre otros, y por una amplia bibliografía sobre el Federalismo y la Regeneración.Palabras clave: Federalismo, Regeneración, Unidad Nacional, centralización político–administrativa. From Federalism to Regeneration: From Sovereign States to Political and Administrative Department. Boyacá, 1886-1903AbstractThis paper aims to show the transition from Boyacá Sovereign State to Political and Administrative Department during the Regeneration period from 1886 to 1903. This process was accompanied by a set of economic, political and social reforms. These reforms consolidated a new national unity project based on the Constitution of 1886. The Regeneration was presented as a political project that changed the relations between State and society. This project also affected regional autonomy as a result of a dependency on central government. Regeneration is a stage where going from a federal system to a centralist one becomes evident, in order to build a model of citizen that responds to the dreamed construction of a unitary nation. The author bases her work on journalistic sources such as the Diario Oficial, El Boyacense, El Espectador, among others, and on a large bibliography on Federalism and Regeneration.Keywords: Federalism, Regeneration, National Unit, political and administrative centralization.

Background: Since 2007, the postgraduate training of family physicians for South African district hospitals has been formalised. This training differs from European and North American programmes as up to 30% of the skills needed rely on district hospital surgical, obstetrics and anaesthetics procedures, particularly in rural areas, as outlined in the national unit standards. The aim of this study was to evaluate the appropriateness and sufficiency of learning opportunities for these skills in a rural district hospital.Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was undertaken of the number and type of procedures performed in theatre for a 1-year period and compared with the required procedural skills stipulated in the national unit standards. Descriptive statistical analyses were used to analyse categorical data.Results: Three thousand seven hundred and forty-one procedures were performed during the study period. Anaesthesia was the most common procedure, followed by Caesarean section. There were adequate opportunities for teaching most core skills.Conclusions: Sufficient and appropriate learning opportunities exist for postgraduate family medicine training in all the core skills performed in a theatre according to the national unit standards.Keywords: Post Graduate Training, Family Medicine, Procedural Skills, Rural, District hospitals

Over recent years a number of non-hospital based services have been developed that can be subsumed under the title of Community Mental Health Centres (CMHCs). Conferences held by the King's Fund (McAusland, 1985) and the National Unit for psychiatric Research and Development (Sayce, 1987) have highlighted the importance of CMHC-like services in health authorities' plans to develop community based psychiatric services. There is no single view of CMHCs in the United Kingdom and, while many such centres already exist, they are diverse in nature and their activities have been sparsely documented.

Ethnic Policy

Many of the world's political analysts who have contributed to the theory and study of contradictions and crises, they agree that today, unlike the past, the main sources of conflicts and crises on the global level are not the economy. But the main source of challenges and contradictions is ethnic, cultural conflict and many of the countries that were born in the past with a painful process of nation-building. Now they have been questioned as a national unit, and the moves of ethnicity and separatism have absorbed them. Purpose: Attention to traditional and ethnic structures and the entry and presence of the government in the field of policy and political management of tribal diversity in Iran, which has been followed up by regulating ethnicity, state, and supervision of the movements of the ethnic groups (Jenkins, Richard, 1997). Method: The practices and methods and rules have been examined by governments and regulating their interactions and relations with their relatives and their management and policy. As a result, Iran is described as a tumultuous society in which various ethnic and tribal groups have been in constant conflict with the state and with each other.

Lost Decade

The political history of Zimbabwe has been one of radical shifts and turns. Winning its political independence from white minority rule in 1980, Zimbabwe emerged as a promising nation. The new prime minister, Robert Gabriel Mugabe, preached hope and reconciliation. There was euphoria at independence as the nation celebrated political freedom achieved through war and highly emotive negotiations at Lancaster House Conference. Before the first half of the decade passed, the new government was already engaged in a war against its citizens, dubbed Gukurahundi. By the end of the decade, it was also clear that its socialist rhetoric and corruption, among other things, were plunging the nation into an economic crisis, which drove the nation into the jaws of the IMF and World Bank. The economic crisis only worsened, and the so-called neoliberal era in the 1990s sent the nation into an economic quagmire. The economy has always been inextricably intertwined with the politics of the country. Political (mis)calculations triggered economic problems, while on other occasions the reverse was true. The years 2000–2009, in particular, were truly a lost decade. The century began with the controvertible Fast Track Land Reform Programme (FTLRP). After a period of extreme political tensions in the country, a Government of National Unit (GNU) was established in 2009 in which the ruling party, the Zimbabwe African National Union–Patriotic Front (ZANU PF), and the opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), came to form a government. The period from 2010 to 2013 seemed to offer some relief to the nation, partly as a result of the GNU. However, this honeymoon was short-lived. As soon as ZANU PF regained power after the contested 2013 elections, there was a noticeable decline of the economy. Meanwhile, as the economy melted, power struggles intensified within ZANU PF. These reached their peak in 2017, culminating in what has come to be known as the November coup that saw the demise of Mugabe and the takeover by his deputy, Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa, as president. The post-coup era in Zimbabwe has been a period of political drama and deeper economic challenges.
