Cultural studies ; Decision ; Education ; Finance ; Local administration ; School system ; Statecontrol ; Teaching ; United States
Local control of education in the United States today is more myth than reality. The American judiciary continues to justify its decisions concerning educational governance on the grounds of local control. Most states fund education through
a combuination of local, state and Federal taxes. The A. analyzes the state court decisions involving local control in school financing, with the intent of developing a more comprehensive interpretation of how local control arguments are used as justification

La prolifération des réseaux de communication internationaux et la mondialisation croissante de la politique suggèrent que les efforts pour contrôler les crimes seront de plus en plus insuffisants, l'Etat transférant ses pouvoirs de contrôle à
d'autres organisations. L'A. démontre qu'on n'assiste pas en fait à un affaiblissement manifeste de l'Etat. Tous les éléments sont réunis pour que les institutions publiques de contrôle de la criminalité demeurent vigoureuses dans le futur.

The application of European conceptions of the sovereign state modified the politics of land in ways that changed the expression of social relations on the land. This aspect of human territoriality (control over natural resource access and use
) is commonly overlooked in analyses of state formation. Indirect rule also created the state's dependence on the character of custom and reinforced a basic tension undermining state authority : by protecting the local control of land, it limited state

Full circle or spiralling out of control ? State violence and the control of urbanisation in Papua New Guinea
In Papua New Guinea, colonial control of urban populations has been replicated in contemporary times, often in more draconian form. Eviction of urban settlers have been tied to issues of crime and urban respectability, and lingering perceptions
that Melanesians should be rural residents. Strengthening alliances between land-owners and the state have emphasised intraurban inequality and hampered national development.
Beach-statecontrols on aeolian sand delivery to coastal dunes
Characteristics of morphodynamically reflective, intermediate, and dissipative beach systems, from the data of Short (1984), are used with an iterative aeolian sediment transport model to predict beach-statecontrols on transport rates.

The political geography of plural (or deeply divided) states is elaborated by analysing four key areas of ethnic contrasts : the politicisation of ethnicity, socio-economic gaps, power disparities and competition over land control. This article
contributes to the debate between various interpretations of the nature of Malaysian state policy towards its ethnic minorities.
Climatic control of pH buffering in the A and B horizons of United States soils
The results of this study support climatic control of pH buffering, and further suggest that differences in the climatic controls on pH buffering account for the difference in the pHA and pHB models. Moreover, soil parent material and soil age may
also influence pH buffering, particularly clay mineralogy, but are not accounted for in these models. Future models should include nonclimatic controls on acidity.
The politics of conservation and the complexity of local controls of forests in the Northern Thai Highlands
An analysis of recent state conservation policy and the complexities of local control of forest land in northern Thailand. Author holds that government agencies resist allowing ethnic minorities to have a role in conservation. The government
