• PLSC 349: The Political Economy of Civil War & Terrorism " Blog Archive " Political Upheaval not dependent on form of government: The states most at risk are, ?large, poor, recently independent, or oil-rich.? State weakness, in this case caused by political disruption, then meant Indonesia?s government couldn?t protect the market-dominan t minority that had helped prop it up. Much of the public outcry surrounding Suharto concerned his family and their increasingly corrupt dealings with some ethnic Chinese entrepreneurs. Dissatisfactio n with the regime spilled over into justification for turning against the prosperous minority group. In the examples cited by Chua, too, globalization and economic liberalization aid the cause of rulers, at least in the short-term, by creating opportunities for wealth-accumul ation not readily available to a vast majority of the population who might seek to depose them. Like the cases discussed by Reno, of course, short-term gains might lead to longer-term setbacks, the results of unequal wealth distribution and the resentment that flows from it among the majority.

• I'm So Totally, Digitally Close to You - Clive Thompson - NYTimes.com: This rapid growth of weak ties can be a very good thing. Sociologists have long found that ?weak ties? greatly expand your ability to solve problems. For example, if you?re looking for a job and ask your friends, they won?t be much help; they?re too similar to you, and thus probably won?t have any leads that you don?t already have yourself. Remote acquaintances will be much more useful, because they?re farther afield, yet still socially intimate enough to want to help you out.
