This research uses a qualitative approach to explore inter-Island mobility and social change in Tidore Island, North Maluku. Data obtained from observations and interviews show that social change in Tidore occurred due to the dynamic factors of cross-island population mobility in recent years. Data were divided into groups of those who are working semi-permanently and those who are commuting to work (commuters). The main factors triggering inter-island population interactions in Tidore City are the need for labor supply, basic commodities in the food and logistic sector, as well as support services from several groups. Conversely, this town is the center of government services with labor suppliers in the formal sector (government) and service economy. It also depends on certain commodities that can only be supplied from the surrounding Island (Halmahera). The research analysis shows that infrastructure (transportation) availability contributes to the intention of local government and the community to create new economic centers in the form of regional commodity markets and additional ports to support population mobility as active mediators for the sustainability of socio-economic development in this region.

No consensus exists on the causal mechanisms underpinning declining voting based on social cleavages – religion and class – in Europe. Previous research has emphasized two main factors: social change within the electorate (bottom-up) and parties’ policy polarization (top-down). This article presents a third level of analysis that links parties and cleavage-related social organizations, producing a factor capable of reinforcing group identity and interest representation. This hypothesis was tested for Italy in 1968–2008, where changes in the party system provided a natural experiment to assess the impact of changing structural alternatives at the party–organizational level. The level of cleavage voting in Italy then responded primarily to changes in the structure of party–organization linkages, while the impact of policy mobilization and social change was negligible.

She is an attractive woman around 30 with two sons, the same husband she started out with, their mortgage (not the same one they started out with), and a license to practice nursing in Massachusetts.And her story, anonymous but otherwise undisguised, will tell you more about the nursing shortage, the women's movement, the Medicaid crisis, the conservative revival and social change in America than any compilation of research, analysis, punditry and feminist literature. She is angry and the only reason she is going to take it any more is that she has not discovered a decent alternative.She works odd, inflexible hours, some nights and Sundays, in the emergency room of a community hospital outside Boston. It is the kind of place to which your kindly old family doctor, interrupting a weekend frolic with the new cookie, refers his less affluent patients.

This chapter pulls together the main arguments of the book, creating a new narrative and assessment of the nature of economic and social change in fourteenth century England. It confirms that pre-plague England was a laggard by European standards, and trapped in a cul de sac of impoverishment and low productivity, but offers a different explanation to conventional ones for that economic sclerosis. It also portrays the third quarter of the fourteenth century as a period of significant volatility and change, when rapid and dramatic adjustments occurred in factor and commodity markets, and when serfdom quickly declined. The framework of contracting institutions was strengthened, which meant that the forces of supply and demand exerted more influence on the allocation of land and labour than seigniorial coercion. Hence the shift in factor ratios caused by successive outbreaks of plague—operating through an institutional framework and emerging legal culture conducive to the progressive growth and commercialization of markets—resulted in increased output per head and accelerated England’s march to modernity.

An examination into the changing patterns, meaning, norms, and discourses around marriage - in the context of transition to adulthood - offers a unique window to disentangle the complex processes of social change in post -Reformasi Indonesia. Among the many dimensions of social change affecting changing patterns of marriage and transition to adulthood include: globalization; demographic transition; trends in population mobility concerning migration and urbanization; economic uncertainties and inequality; and a series of contestation on norms around marriage and the family which has shadowed the political landscape post-Reformasi. How does such a complex process of social change shape the changing patterns and narratives on marriage? In particular, how do young people navigate the changing marriage patterns in the context of such complex, rapid, and massive social change? These two questions are pivotal to the current special issue in Jurnal Studi Pemuda. To provide context and highlights the contributions of the papers in this issue, this article reviews several dimensions and indicators of marriage and family change in Indonesia, and outlines their relation to the broader contexts of transition to adulthood and social change in the last two decades following Reformasi.
