toward a greater east side california Political Boundary law and southeast los angeles county
California Journal of Politics and Policy, 2016Co-Authors: Ian Flannigan SpragueAbstract:My paper discusses the ineffectiveness of California state law to address socially inefficient municipal boundaries. By focusing on the recent struggles of a group of industrial suburbs in Southeast Los Angeles County that includes the City of Vernon, the paper demonstrates how a fragmented municipal topography worsens socioeconomic decline, hazardous land uses, and a lack of Political accountability. Next, I analyze California statutory and constitutional law on the subject, demonstrating its ineffectiveness in encouraging Boundary modifications to address the inequities facing the communities of Southeast Los Angeles County. Finally, I suggest legislative and constitutional modifications to encourage greater Political accountability and socioeconomic equity in California’s municipal topography.

Technology transfer from U.S. government and university R&D laboratories
Technovation, 1991Co-Authors: Barry Bozeman, Michael CrowAbstract:Despite the increased interest in domestic technology transfer, there is surprisingly little empirical evidence on determinants of technology transfer activity. This study presents results from a national survey of more than 900 laboratories, focusing on a sub-sample of 134 government laboratories and 139 university laboratories. An environmental dependence model of technology transfer activity is presented, arguing that influence of Political authority is a major determinant of technology transfer activity. Tests of the model indicated that scientific and technical mission diversity is particularly important in understanding technology transfer to both government and industry. However, a variety of measures of Political Boundary spanning are quite important in transfer to government but not so to industry. Likewise, the nature of the resource base (government vs. industrial) is strongly related to the choice to transfer technology to, respectively, government and industry. © 1991.

Briefing military (MIS)adventures in mali
African Affairs, 2013Co-Authors: Rémy MarchalAbstract:THE FRENCH MILITARY INTERVENTION that officially started on 11 January 2013 has reshaped the Malian crisis. It raises questions regarding the French government's understanding of the situation in northern Mali, the attitude of the African and international communities, and the ability of military interventions to address problems that go beyond security concerns about Jihadist, Islamist, or criminal movements in the Sahel. 1 The French intervention came in response to an offensive by armed Islamist groups against Konna, Sevare airport, and Mopti. This attack broke an implicit agreement with the government in Bamako that no armed entities would cross a Political Boundary that had been set up in the spring of 2012. The reasons for this breach are not yet known, but the attacks were in part triggered by the Political dialogue in Ouagadougou and Algiers regarding how to resolve the crisis, and the impact this had on the constitu-ency of the main Islamist armed groups in northern Mali. 2 Although France was sceptical of the value of engaging armed groups in talks, ECOWAS mediator Blaise Compaoré argued that this was the best way to offer a settlement. The talks failed to deliver, but it nevertheless seems likely that the prospect of a negotiated settlement increased tensions within some of the armed groups. The subsequent establishment of the Movement for the Islamic Azawad (MIA) led by Alghabass ag Inthallah 3 on *Roland Marchal (marchal@ceri-sciences-po.org) is senior research fellow at the National Centre for Scientific Research based at Sciences Po Paris. This text is part of a broader research agenda on current militant Islamic movements in Africa, commissioned by the Nordic International Service Foundation, Oslo. 1. For background information see Roland Marchal, 'Is a military intervention unavoidable?', 22 October 2012, (10 February 2013). 2. Some US pundits have mentioned a possible deal between Ansar ed-Din leader, Iyad ag Ghali, and politicians in Bamako to take over the whole country. In this regard it is worth noting that the intervention stopped an attempted coup against Dioncounda Traoré, launched a few hours before French soldiers landed in Bamako. 3. Alghabass ag Inthallah is the son of the Ifoghas Amenokal (traditional leader) and was a lead negotiator for Ansar ed-Din. Before the crisis started he was an MP who supported the previous President, and his Political trajectory expresses the complexities and ambiguities of Tuareg politics in the current setting.
