The permanent international divide?: Human abilities and national development

Article Abstract:

The ethnicities of interacting individuals in technologically advanced societies such as the United States negate the universal concept of social equality and offer potentially destabilizing influences for the 21st century world system. Perspectives on the future of human beings increasingly relate to a hierarchical bi-polar world system divided along a socio-economic divide. The bio-social differences in human abilities which affect their prospects for socio-economic development, have created deeper divisions within nations themselves.

Arts and craft: implementing an arts-based development strategy in a "controlled growth" county

Article Abstract:

The nine-year conflict over the building of a performing arts/hotel resort complex on a large piece of real estate on the coast of central California was examined to determine the effect of the use of arts to further the cause of economic growth. Findings indicated that growth is not considered to be equally beneficial to all groups. The developer's strategy of using arts to further the interests of growth failed because of the competition between the growth machines of Santa Cruz and Aptos.
