Abstract 2021 marked the 30-year anniversary of the publication Fatal Years: Child Mortality in the late Nineteenth-Century United States, a pioneering work in historical demography by Samuel H. Preston and Michael R. Haines. This special issue showcases the current state of historical mortality studies through a collection of articles originally presented at two commemorative sessions at the 2021 meeting of the Social Science History Association. It provides new and more nuanced evidence on several of the major themes of Fatal Years in terms of the mortality experience and includes studies of a wide range of contexts, from North America, to Ireland, England and Wales, and continental Europe. They all bring new evidence and leverage the dramatic development that has taken place in availability of large-scale micro-level data in the 30 years since Fatal Years was published. This introduction first provides some background to the collection and then summarizes the main findings from the different articles included. Preston and Haines provide a coda to this collection with a short reflection article on researching and writing Fatal Years.
摘要2021年是塞缪尔·H·普雷斯顿和迈克尔·R·海恩斯出版的《致命岁月:19世纪末美国的儿童死亡率》一书30周年,该书是历史人口学的先驱之作。这期特刊通过一系列文章展示了历史死亡率研究的现状,这些文章最初是在社会科学史协会2021年会议的两次纪念会议上发表的。它就死亡经历而言,为《致命岁月》的几个主要主题提供了新的、更细致的证据,并包括对从北美到爱尔兰、英格兰和威尔士以及欧洲大陆的广泛背景的研究。它们都带来了新的证据,并利用了自《致命岁月》出版以来30年来大规模微观层面数据可用性的巨大发展。这篇引言首先提供了该系列的一些背景,然后总结了所收录的不同文章的主要发现。普雷斯顿和海恩斯为本集提供了一篇关于研究和写作《致命岁月》的简短反思文章。

Abstract Welfare ministries are key institutions of modern nation-states. However, we still lack knowledge about when and why national welfare ministries were established. In this paper, we argue that both the First and Second world wars were major driving forces behind the establishment of independent welfare ministries. To test our argument, we introduce a novel dataset on the establishment of welfare-related ministries in 30 countries. Our empirical findings suggest that the establishment of independent welfare ministries was a product of wartime turbulence and the political, economic and social shockwaves set off especially by World War I, which affected many countries at the same time. Considering alternative explanations such as the Spanish Flu, the Bolshevik Revolution or the emergence of new nation-states, we argue that war triggered multiple, interrelated and chronologically staggered transnational events and transformations that had major effects on the social welfare systems of the countries involved. In this light, we conclude that World War I was ultimately the root cause behind the establishment of welfare ministries.
福利部门是现代民族国家的重要机构。但是,我们对国家福利部门的建立时间和原因仍然缺乏了解。在本文中,我们认为第一次和第二次世界大战都是建立独立福利部门的主要推动力。为了验证我们的论点,我们引入了一个关于30个国家建立福利相关部门的新数据集。我们的实证研究结果表明,独立福利部门的建立是战时动荡和政治、经济和社会冲击波的产物,尤其是第一次世界大战,它同时影响了许多国家。考虑到其他解释,如西班牙流感、布尔什维克革命或新民族国家的出现,我们认为战争引发了多重、相互关联的、按时间顺序交错的跨国事件和变革,这些事件和变革对相关国家的社会福利制度产生了重大影响。据此,我们得出结论,第一次世界大战是建立福利部门的根本原因。

Abortion and Directive Genetic Counseling 流产和指导遗传咨询
IF 0.8 3区 历史学 Q1 HISTORY Pub Date : 2023-04-12 DOI: 10.1017/ssh.2022.43

This multi-method study uses statistical and comparative-historical investigations to find that abortion values shape genetic counseling practices across societies. Genetic counselors and genetically interested social scientists have long questioned, but never systematically demonstrated, whether this relationship exists. Genetic counseling data are drawn from cross-national surveys of genetic counselors (n = 2,906) from the mid-1990s, the key historical moment after this profession was globally established but before potentially confounding transnational professional effects. Data focus on Trisomy 21, severe open spina bifida, and Huntington’s chorea. Abortion data are drawn from a new comparative-historical investigation of abortion attitudes in 36 countries based on law, frequency of policy debate, incidence rates, and public opinion polling. The key overall finding is that the more controversial abortion is within a society, the less directive genetic counselors are willing to be, whereas the less controversial abortion is, the more directive the counseling. Polynomial regressions, t-tests, likelihood ratios, and Wald tests provide statistical evidence for the relationship observed through qualitative clustering.
这个多方法的研究使用统计和比较历史调查来发现堕胎价值观塑造了整个社会的遗传咨询实践。遗传咨询师和对遗传感兴趣的社会科学家长期以来一直质疑,但从未系统地证明这种关系是否存在。遗传咨询的数据来自20世纪90年代中期对遗传咨询师的跨国调查(n = 2906),这是该职业在全球建立之后的关键历史时刻,但在潜在的跨国职业影响之前。数据集中于21三体、严重开放性脊柱裂和亨廷顿舞蹈病。堕胎数据来自对36个国家的堕胎态度的一项新的比较历史调查,该调查基于法律、政策辩论的频率、发病率和民意调查。关键的总体发现是,在一个社会中,堕胎争议越大,遗传咨询师就越不愿意提供指导,而堕胎争议越少,咨询师就越愿意提供指导。多项式回归、t检验、似然比和Wald检验为定性聚类观察到的关系提供了统计证据。

“Ministering at the Altar of Slavery”: Religious slavery conflict and social movement repression “奴隶祭坛上的牧师”:宗教奴隶制冲突与社会运动镇压

Abstract Why did some American Protestant denominations experience slavery-related schism during the nineteenth century, while others appear to have been unaffected by slavery conflict? I conduct a comparative case study of four national Protestant denominations and find that slavery-related schism was not a consequence of a particular theological orientation, but instead occurred when denominational leaders lacked the capacity to repress abolitionism. In all four denominations, leaders attempted to stifle the abolition movement to avoid conflict. Their capacities to do so differed, however: in some denominations, diffusely distributed authority created openings for abolitionist mobilization, eventually leading to irreconcilable conflict and schism. In other denominations, concentrated authority enabled repression, leaders blocked abolitionist mobilization, and schism was avoided. This research shows that non-state targets of social movements can use “soft” forms of repression to undermine movement mobilization, but that their capacity to do so is constrained by organizational characteristics. It also demonstrates the critical role of organizational dynamics in shaping religious responses to contentious issues more broadly.
摘要为什么一些美国新教教派在19世纪经历了与奴隶制有关的分裂,而其他教派似乎没有受到奴隶制冲突的影响?我对四个国家新教教派进行了比较案例研究,发现与奴隶制相关的分裂不是特定神学取向的结果,而是在教派领导人缺乏镇压废奴主义的能力时发生的。在所有四个教派中,领导人都试图扼杀废除死刑运动以避免冲突。然而,他们这样做的能力各不相同:在一些教派,分散的权力为废奴主义者的动员创造了机会,最终导致了不可调和的冲突和分裂。在其他教派,集中的权力促成了镇压,领导人阻止了废奴主义者的动员,避免了分裂。这项研究表明,社会运动的非国家目标可以使用“软”镇压形式来破坏运动动员,但他们这样做的能力受到组织特征的限制。它还表明了组织动力在更广泛地塑造宗教对有争议问题的反应方面的关键作用。

Carrots over Sticks? Mothers’ Pensions and Child Labor in the Early 20th Century U.S. 胡萝卜盖棍子?20世纪初美国的母亲养老金与童工。

Abstract While existing research suggests that nineteenth-century child labor laws largely failed to significantly reduce children’s workforce participation, we examine whether policies that tackled the problem by providing aid – rather than by penalizing work – were more effective. Between 1910 and 1920, forty U.S. states enacted mothers’ pension programs, giving needy “deserving” mothers, typically widows, cash aid to support their dependent children. One purpose of the programs was to reduce child labor. However, we find no negative relationship between child labor and the generosity of states’ mothers’ pension laws. Furthermore, we find no negative relationship between child labor and county-level mothers’ pension generosity, in terms of expenditures, in the seven states for which we have data. We attribute this to the small size of the pensions as well as the programs’ limited coverage and general lack of conditionality on children’s behaviors, such as attending school or not engaging in paid work. We also note states’ and counties’ limited administrative capacity to enforce eligibility requirements, such as school attendance, where these existed.
虽然现有的研究表明,19世纪的童工法在很大程度上未能显著降低儿童的劳动力参与率,但我们研究了通过提供援助而不是惩罚工作来解决问题的政策是否更有效。1910年至1920年间,美国有40个州颁布了母亲养老金计划,向贫困的“应得的”母亲(通常是寡妇)提供现金援助,以支持她们受抚养的子女。这些项目的目的之一是减少童工。然而,我们发现童工与国家母亲养老金法律的慷慨程度之间没有负相关关系。此外,在我们有数据的七个州,我们发现童工和县级母亲的养老金慷慨度之间没有负相关关系,就支出而言。我们将此归因于养老金规模小、项目覆盖范围有限,以及普遍缺乏对儿童行为(如上学或不从事有偿工作)的限制。我们还注意到,州和县在执行资格要求方面的行政能力有限,例如,在存在资格要求的地方,学校出勤率。

Abstract While technological progress played a central role in the British Industrial Revolution, statistical evidence on how inventors and entrepreneurs engaged in the process of technological innovation has typically received minor attention. In this paper I use quantitative methods to show that counties with a relatively high number of informal networks −in the form of Freemasonry, friendly societies, libraries, and booksellers− experienced more innovation as measured by new patents and exhibits at the 1851 Crystal Palace World’s Fair. Qualitative evidence and propensity score matching suggest that the mechanisms highlighted here were an important part of British technological leadership. Economic factors cannot account for these patterns.
虽然技术进步在英国工业革命中发挥了核心作用,但关于发明家和企业家如何参与技术创新过程的统计证据通常很少受到关注。在本文中,我使用定量方法表明,通过1851年水晶宫世界博览会上的新专利和展品来衡量,拥有相对较多的非正式网络(以共济会、友好协会、图书馆和书商的形式)的县经历了更多的创新。定性证据和倾向评分匹配表明,这里强调的机制是英国技术领先地位的重要组成部分。经济因素不能解释这些模式。

Historical Diversity in Credit Intermediation: Cosignatory Lending Institutions in Europe and North America, 1700s–1960s 信贷中介的历史多样性:18世纪60年代欧洲和北美的共同贷款机构

Through a close reading of scattered, disparate, and largely unconnected secondary sources, supplemented with the analysis of primary sources, and backed by economic theory, this paper explores the origins, development, and socio-economic impact of so-called cosignatory lending institutions. These historical institutions were designed to issue small loans to small businesses and households and shared a reliance on cosigners to secure loans and on weekly instalments to repay them. Their shared lending format was flexible enough to display regional variations and this enabled cosignatory lending institutions to operate in societies characterized by notable differences in wealth and economic structure. It also allowed cosignatory lending institutions to fare better in a more urbanized, heterogeneous context than the more well-known credit cooperatives. As such, this systematic overview helps us better understand how credit markets were made more inclusive in urban contexts, which historical circumstances played a role in this, and perhaps even whether and how the success of cosignatory lending institutions may be replicated in present-day developed and less-developed economies.
本文通过仔细阅读分散、不同和基本上不相连的二级来源,辅以对一级来源的分析,并以经济理论为支持,探讨了所谓的联合署名贷款机构的起源、发展和社会经济影响。这些历史机构旨在向小企业和家庭发放小额贷款,共同依赖共同担保人获得贷款,并每周分期偿还贷款。它们的共同贷款形式足够灵活,可以显示出地区差异,这使得共同签署的贷款机构能够在财富和经济结构显著差异的社会中运作。它还允许联合签署的贷款机构在更城市化、更异质的环境中比更知名的信用合作社表现得更好。因此,这一系统的概述有助于我们更好地了解信贷市场是如何在城市环境中变得更具包容性的,哪些历史环境在其中发挥了作用,甚至可能还有助于我们了解联合签署贷款机构的成功是否以及如何在当今发达和欠发达经济体中复制。

What work does the term “ crisis ” do for historical sociologists and historically oriented social science in general? And how does “ crisis ” relate to contingencies and conjunctures – the twin poles of socio-historical analysis? I begin with a concern that the term “ crisis ” is deployed with such casual frequency that, despite its apparent ability to capture something urgent about the turbulent and bleak times we live in, it ironically risks loss of the meaning it is intended to convey. Indeed, as several skeptics have asked, if everything is crisis, then what is outside it (Freeden 2017; Holton 1987)? Later in this essay I will debunk the “ crisis – non-crisis ” dichotomy raised by several authors
总的来说,“危机”一词对历史社会学家和以历史为导向的社会科学有什么作用?“危机”是如何与偶然性和偶然性——社会历史分析的两极——联系起来的?我首先担心的是,“危机”一词被使用的频率如此随意,以至于尽管它显然能够捕捉到我们所处的动荡和黯淡时代的一些紧迫之处,但具有讽刺意味的是,它有可能失去其本意。事实上,正如一些怀疑论者所问的那样,如果一切都是危机,那么危机之外是什么(Freeden 2017;霍尔顿1987)?在这篇文章的后面,我将揭穿几位作者提出的“危机-非危机”二分法

Political Centralization, Federalism, and Urbanization: Evidence from Australia 政治集中化、联邦制和城市化:来自澳大利亚的证据

Abstract The dominance of capital cities (urban primacy) is an enduring characteristic of Australian states. There has been limited empirical research examining the drivers of primacy in states despite some being extreme examples of the phenomenon, both in magnitude and scale. In light of institutional theories of settlement patterns, we developed a profile of Australian urbanization using a century of time-series data, descriptive statistics, and an empirical model of city populations. In Australian states high measures of primacy have endured with little evidence of disruption despite the enormous size of these states, their wealth, and population growth – factors associated with declining and low primacy. Statistically, state capital city status has a significant effect on city population size variation, with results suggesting primacy in states is in part a product of Australian federalism.

The findings in this paper have major implications relative to national and/or state strategies that aim to decentralize population away from the primate cities.
摘要首都的主导地位(城市至上)是澳大利亚各州的一个持久特征。尽管有些是这种现象的极端例子,但对各州首要地位驱动因素的实证研究有限。根据定居模式的制度理论,我们使用一个世纪的时间序列数据、描述性统计数据和城市人口的经验模型,建立了澳大利亚城市化的概况。在澳大利亚各州,尽管这些州的规模巨大、财富丰富、人口增长——这些因素与首要地位下降和低相关——但高首要地位的衡量标准一直存在,几乎没有破坏的证据。从统计数据来看,州首府城市地位对城市人口规模变化有显著影响,结果表明,各州的首要地位在一定程度上是澳大利亚联邦制的产物。这与认为澳大利亚缺乏大型非首都城市是由于孤立、人口少和环境决定论的观点形成了鲜明对比。这篇论文中的发现对旨在将人口从灵长类城市分散出去的国家和/或州战略具有重大意义。

There has been limited empirical research examining the drivers of primacy in states despite some being extreme examples of the phenomenon, both in magnitude and scale. In light of institutional theories of settlement patterns, we developed a profile of Australian urbanization using a century of time-series data, descriptive statistics, and an empirical model of city populations. In Australian states high measures of primacy have endured with little evidence of disruption despite the enormous size of these states, their wealth, and population growth – factors associated with declining and low primacy. Statistically, state capital city status has a significant effect on city population size variation, with results suggesting primacy in states is in part a product of Australian federalism. This contrasts with views that suggest Australia’s scarcity of large non-capital cities is due to isolation, low population, and environmental determinism. The findings in this paper have major implications relative to national and/or state strategies that aim to decentralize population away from the primate cities.","PeriodicalId":46528,"journal":{"name":"Social Science History","volume":"47 1","pages":"11 - 39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42578304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

communities throughout North America were then deployed by political elites to silence these very voices and reverse the impulse toward the ever-elusive goal of a truly diverse democracy. Democracy by Petition represents social science history at its very best. It draws on and contributes to multiple disciplinary traditions, and scholars in many fields will learn from it, add to its findings—and argue with it in constructive ways, as this symposium demonstrates. In its shadow, none of us who are concerned about the travails of American democracy and the course of democratization in American political development will be able to go about our work in quite the same way.
然后,政治精英们部署了整个北美的社区,以压制这些声音,并扭转朝着真正多元化民主这一始终难以实现的目标前进的冲动。请愿民主代表了社会科学史上最好的一面。它借鉴并促进了多学科传统,许多领域的学者将从中学习,增加其发现,并以建设性的方式与之争论,正如本次研讨会所展示的那样。在它的阴影下,我们这些关心美国民主的艰辛和美国政治发展中的民主化进程的人,没有一个能以完全相同的方式开展我们的工作。
