The Latest Politics & Religion Research and New Mobile Site Featured at Sciences Social Network
Mannheim, Germany (PRWEB) July 11, 2013 -- ScienceIndex.com is a Social Sciences Network newly featuring the latest Politics and Religion Research. The site was established in 1998 to index the very latest news, headlines, references and resources from science journals, books and websites worldwide. The site covers news in all fields of biology, business, chemistry, engineering, geography, health, mathematics and society. In the field of Society Sciences, the site has now included the two new categories Politics and Religion. While the Politics section covers the science and art of political government, the Religion section deals with fundamental sets of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects.
ScienceIndex.com's Science in Society Category covers the totality of social relationships among humans. Its twelve sections include anthropology, archaeology, arts, education, family, history, law and crime, linguistics, literature, philosophy, politics, and religion. Users can receive alerts for newly published content in this category by subscribing to ScienceIndex.com's Science in Society RSS feed.
ScienceIndex.com's new Politics section covers the science and art of political government. It currently contains 11,498 articles partly derived from over 380 scientific Politics journals. The latest articles in this category are also available through a Politics Research RSS feed. One of the latest additions to this section discusses the role of relative power in civil war settlement. Drawing on the international crisis bargaining literature it argues that the condition of power parity increases the likelihood of negotiated settlement and ceasefire. The authors argue that strong rebels that can rival the strength of the government can exact more concessions because fighting at parity exposes information about how long each side can hold out while escalating the costs of war, giving each side a greater incentive to negotiate and eventually seek a ceasefire or peace agreement. Another recently published article investigates why people vote and examines the effects of rationality and emotion on voter turnout. Using data from American National Election Studies, the authors suggest that rationality plays a more important and consistent role in individual turnout decision than emotion, because the effect of emotion on turnout might be built on the appearance of charismatic candidates.
ScienceIndex.com's new Religion section deals with fundamental sets of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects. It currently contains 2,550 articles partly derived from 165 scholarly Religion journals. The latest articles in this section are also available through a Religion Research RSS feed. One recently included article in this section covers the history of Israelite Preachers in the English-Speaking World between 1823–1863. Drawing mission approaches from revivalist dissent, Israelite preachers forged first a Britain-wide sect, then a global movement which followed the British settler diaspora and competed with rival American millennialisms. Another article in this section covers the origins of Presbyterian interdenominationalism. The authors of this article point out that the religiously motivated attempts between churches to cooperate, such as the interdenominational journey begun by the Presbyterian Church during the French and Indian War, are overlooked. They conclude that Presbyterian interdenominationalism reveals not only that ecclesiastical harmony was pursued in an era defined by conflict, but that these unions could also be motivated by religious rather than solely political ideology.
