Elite Conflicts and the Path to Economic Decentralization - Mingxing Liu - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Elite Conflicts and the Path to Economic Decentralization - Mingxing Liu - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Why would a politically centralized state embark on the path of economic decentralization? This Element delves into the political origin of the puzzling economic decentralization in mainland China. The authors contend that the intra-elite conflicts between the authoritarian ruler and the ruling elites within the state prompted the ruler to pursue decentralization as a strategy to curb the influence wielded by the ruling elites. By examining the composition of the Chinese Communist Party''s Central Committee, they find that the Cultural Revolution, fueled by elite conflicts, shifted the elite selectorate''s composition from favoring central agencies to favoring local interests. Subsequent low turnover reinforced this shift, aligning elite incentives with decentralization policies and committing the Chinese leadership to a decentralized path in the 1980s. Additionally, Taiwan''s economic liberalization under the Kuomintang''s authoritarian rule provides further evidence of the link between ruling party elite composition and economic policy orientation.

Artificial Intelligence and Social Work - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book marries social work and artificial intelligence to provide an introductory guide for using AI for social good. Following an introductory chapter laying out approaches and ethical principles of using AI for social work interventions, the book describes in detail an intervention to increase the spread of HIV information by using algorithms to determine the key individuals in a social network of homeless youth. Other chapters present interdisciplinary collaborations between AI and social work students, including a chatbot for sexual health information and algorithms to determine who is at higher stress among persons with Type 2 Diabetes. For students, academic researchers, industry leaders, and practitioners, these real-life examples from the USC Center for Artificial Intelligence in Society demonstrate how social work and artificial intelligence can be used in tandem for the greater good.
