Politics and Justice: Aristotle, Rawls, and the Case for Realism in Political Theory

Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aristotle's analysis of stasis in Book V of the Politics offers a striking example of “distinctively political thought,” as advocated by Bernard Williams's political realism, and in contrast to the moralist approach exemplified by John Rawls. Aristotle identifies disputes over justice, driven by partial and conflicting conceptions of equality,

Facets of Crises: How Problem Indicators and Public Perceptions Affect Policy Change

Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crises are widely acknowledged as catalysts for policy change. Yet, our understanding of the policy effects of crises remains limited. Why do only some crises lead to major changes, while significant policy changes also occur during seemingly non‐crisis periods?

When insurers retreat: The governance of wildfire disasters and how FAIR plans allocate climate risk

Risk Management and Insurance Review, EarlyView.
Abstract As wildfire risk accelerates private insurer retreat, state‐governed FAIR Plans increasingly serve as the primary coverage available in hazard‐prone areas. This paper analyzes these residual markets as instruments of disaster governance, arguing that their design reflects distributive political choices regarding risk allocation.

Contourite erosional and depositional features of the Maastrichtian chalk on Jasmund peninsula (Rügen island, NE Germany)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seismic‐scale features such as deeply incised submarine valleys and mounded drifts together with ichnological features indicative of discontinuous sedimentation and erosional episodes have recently been documented from the Upper Cretaceous chalk in the southern Baltic Sea area.

Rethinking microtidal systems: Tidal signatures in the fluvial deposits of the Po River, Italy

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In microtidally influenced rivers, tides are generally assumed to leave virtually no signatures in the sedimentary record. However, this hypothesis has been surprisingly poorly tested using modern river analogues, which provide an opportunity to assess whether sedimentary signatures of microtidal regimes can develop in rivers that lack ...

Anomalous stress diffusion in earthquake triggering: Correlation length, time dependence, and directionality [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research, 2003
It has been recently suggested that moderate and large earthquakes can be triggered by similarly sized events at very long range. Here we study the main characteristics of earthquake triggering by determining its correlation length, time dependence, and ...

Earthquake nucleation and triggering on an optimally oriented fault [PDF]

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2013
Seismic surface waves from large, distant earthquakes commonly trigger smaller earthquakes. However, delay times of hours to days between the surface waves and the triggered earthquakes weaken the causal connection.

Slow earthquakes triggered by typhoons

Nature, 2009
The first reports on a slow earthquake were for an event in the Izu peninsula, Japan, on an intraplate, seismically active fault. Since then, many slow earthquakes have been detected. It has been suggested that the slow events may trigger ordinary earthquakes (in a context supported by numerical modelling), but their broader significance in terms of ...

Simulation of triggered earthquakes in the laboratory

pure and applied geophysics, 1996
The experiments were conducted for the study of stick-slip at the contact between two granite blocks. Three cases were studied under the following conditions: 1) the increase of load at a constant rate; 2) the additional application of sinusoidal oscillations in the frequency range from 1 to 30 Hz; 3) subjection to the impulse in the kilohertz ...

Evidence of earthquake triggering by the solid earth tides

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2009
International audienceClear evidence for earthquake triggering by the earth tides has remained elusive for more than a century. Using the largest global earthquake catalog available (the NEIC catalog with 442 412 events), we observe a clear correlation ...
