This article describes the working patterns of local NGO networks for the advocacy of Indonesian Migrant Workers/Pekerja Migran Indonesia (PMI). INFEST (Institute for Education Development, Social, Religious, and Cultural Studies) together with Network of Migrant Workers/Jejaring Buruh Migran (JBM) collaborated to develop a proposed bill in order to amend the article on Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers. Nowadays, a lot of cases regarding to protection of migrant workers has not been fullfiled due to less attention of Indonesian government to provide a proper law on the protection of migrant workers. The author uses the nine-step advocacy approach described by Roem Tomatimasang, which forms the core circle, selects strategic issues, designs goals and strategies, processes data and packs information, mobilizes allies and advocates, submits counter draft, influences policy makers, shapes public opinion, and build a base of movement. Through these stages, INFEST and JBM conduct advocay to change the regulation of protection of PMI.

Contact Effects

Upwards of 80% of all Americans know LGBTQ people and those that do not likely see them on television. If these are the root causes of LGBTQ rights support, then why have gay rights advanced so little in Congress and the States? The explanation comes from the theory of motivated reasoning---those with a strongly held political ideology will resist attitudinal change if it contradicts that ideology. I show that strong conservatives are largely immune to the contact effects demonstrated in the last chapter and present an experiment that shows that exposure to Ellen DeGeneres, a lesbian comedienne, can lower support for gay rights among political conservatives if she is presented in context that makes politics and political ideology more salient for people. For the strongest ideologues, exposure to LGBTQs polarizes instead of liberalizes attitudes. Since most Republican policy-makers are strong conservatives, this explains why public policy now lags public opinion on LGBTQ rights.

Launching this column on anthropology and public policy has prompted some interesting comments from colleagues on the challenges we face in making ourselves effective and competent actors in the policy domain. In addition, the SfAA's 1997 annual meeting in Seattle included a forum on increasing our policy effectiveness, which brought together representatives from a number of the organization's policy-oriented groups, as well as other knowledgeable colleagues. These groups included the AIDS Advisory Committee, Indian Affairs Committee, Human Rights and Environment group, the Aging and Disability topical interest group (TIG), and the Intellectual Property Rights TIG. Among the questions raised at that forum: How can we learn from each other's successes and failures in policy advocacy? What activities, strategies, and techniques have been particularly effective in communicating an anthropological perspective to policy makers or potential allies? What steps could the SfAA take to become a better (and better-known) resource to agencies and groups seeking an anthropological perspective on a particular issue?

This study examined Residents’ evaluation of turning transport infrastructure (road) to spaces for holding social ceremonies in the indigenous residential zone of Ogbomoso, Oyo State, Nigeria. Upon stratifying the city into the three identifiable zones, the core, otherwise known as the indigenous residential zone was isolated for study. Of the twenty (20) political wards in the two local government areas of the town, fifteen (15) wards that were located in the indigenous zone constituted the study area. Respondents were selected along one out of every three (33.3%) of the Trunk — C (local) roads being the one mostly used for the purpose in the study area. The respondents were the residents, commercial motorists, commercial motorcyclists, and celebrants. Six hundred and forty-two (642) copies of questionnaire were administered and harvested on the spot. The Mean Analysis generated from the respondents’ rating of twelve perceived hazards listed in the questionnaire were then used to determine respondents’ most highly rated perceived consequences of the practice. These were noisy environment, Blockage of drainage by waste, and Endangering the life of the sick on the way to hospital; the most highly rated reasons why the practice came into being; and level of acceptability of the practice which was found to be very unacceptable in the study area. Policy makers should therefore focus their attention on strict enforcement of the law prohibiting the practice in order to ensure more cordial relationship among the citizenry, seeing citizens’ unacceptability of the practice in the study area.

ABSTRACT Through the years, pooling of interest accounting was criticized as contrary to the decision usefulness objective of financial reporting and potentially misleading to stockholders and creditors, the assumed principal users of financial reports. This paper does not dispute those criticisms. It demonstrates, however, that there were some very good reasons for permitting pooling accounting for certain business combinations when the method was developed in the 1940s. At that time, the basic objectives of financial accounting encompassed stewardship and decision usefulness for multiple users, including public utility regulators and public policy makers. Pooling accounting developed in part to satisfy the information needs of public utility regulators who favored aboriginal (original historical) cost to determine the utility rate base; additionally, it was favored by public policy makers who sought lower utility rates (prices) to foster social and economic goals.

The Impact

In Israel, as in many other countries, the impact of public opinion on national policymaking has increased dramatically over the last few decades. In fact, public opinion has practically developed into one of the prime political inputs in Israel. This chapter argues that this increased impact, which could have contributed to improving the Israeli democracy, is in fact often undermined by the increasing overlapping of the main cleavages within Israel: between the political Right and Left, between Jews and Arabs, and between religious and secular Israelis. This extreme overlapping has severely eroded the national consensus and accelerated the emergence of deep disagreements in public opinion over strategic issues, such as the nature of the state (Jewish? Democratic?), the main challenges facing the nation (including the best way of dealing with the protracted Israeli–Palestinian conflict), and the desired collective future.

Standards Of Proof

AbstractStandards of proof for attributing real world events/damage to global warming should be the same as in clinical or environmental lawsuits, argue Lloyd et al. The central question that we raise is effective communication. How can climate scientists best and effectively communicate their findings to crucial non-expert audiences, including public policy makers and civil society? To address this question, we look at the mismatch between what courts require and what climate scientists are setting as a bar of proof. Our first point is that scientists typically demand too much of themselves in terms of evidence, in comparison with the level of evidence required in a legal, regulatory, or public policy context. Our second point is to recommend that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recommend more prominently the use of the category “more likely than not” as a level of proof in their reports, as this corresponds to the standard of proof most frequently required in civil court rooms. This has also implications for public policy and the public communication of climate evidence.
