This workbook provides a tour of the Stata software, an introduction to cross-sectional, time series, and panel data, and an introduction to a variety of models. I review models where the outcome is linear, binary, ordinal, categorical, and count. Additionally, I have an interpretation chapter on survival models. Each “Models” chapter has a similar organizational structure: about, estimated time, what is the model, how are models run in Stata, how do we interpret the model results, and a real-world example of model results in a Creative Commons licensed, peer-reviewed journal article. Additionally, mini-assignment instructions and a rubric are included so students can practice their interpretation skills.14752023-08-23T02:28:41Z2023-08-23T02:28:41ZRomance Lands and Conservation in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem<img alt="Read more about Romance Lands and Conservation in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem" title="Romance Lands and Conservation in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem cover image" class="cover " width="610" height="797" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6OTQxNywicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--502bc72a7d00292a7ec58cdb37cd35ce5a2e7f16/Screenshot%202023-08-22%20at%209.18.50%20PM.png" />To fully grasp the significance of this story we explore the history of the West, the development of Yellowstone National Park, something about the discipline of conservation biology and related policy sciences, Grizzly bear recovery, and eventually the contemporary economy and social setting of the region. The Greater Yellowstone is a model of how to build a regional system of international importance and local well-being.11152023-08-18T20:38:56Z2023-08-21T13:47:42ZAmerica: The User’s Manual - Third Edition<img alt="Read more about America: The User’s Manual - Third Edition" title="America: The User’s Manual - Third Edition cover image" class="cover " width="808" height="1054" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6OTMzNCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--716dd3a6c552678a1e845e8f4baf76305875cc05/Screenshot%202023-08-18%20at%203.33.36%20PM.png" />This is a free textbook written for introductory undergraduate courses in American politics.

The textbook is organized thematically and includes chapters that cover a wide range of topics in comparative politics: how and what comparativists study; methods in comparative politics; states and regimes; democracies and democratization; non-democracies and democratic backsliding, political identity, including culture, race and ethnicity, gender, nationalism, religion, and class; political economy; collective action and social movements; comparative public opinion; political violence; and globalization and fragmentation. Each chapter accompanied by a case study or a comparative study, one of the main methodological tools used in comparative politics. By contextualizing the concepts, we hope to help students learn the comparative method, which to this day remains one of the most important methodological tools for all researchers.13832023-03-27T13:31:57Z2024-01-22T14:52:42ZConflict, War and Revolution: the problem of politics in international political thought<img alt="Read more about Conflict, War and Revolution: the problem of politics in international political thought" title="Conflict, War and Revolution: the problem of politics in international political thought cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="523" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDY0NiwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--ded4901eeaf1e0b9340f60400c22c5d5656d3939/cover.png" />Violence and war were ubiquitous features of politics long before the emergence of the modern state system. Since the late 18th century major revolutions across the world have further challenged the idea of the state as a final arbiter of international order. This book discusses ten major thinkers who have questioned and re-shaped how we think about politics, violence and relations between states – Thucydides, Augustine, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Clausewitz, Lenin and Mao, and Schmitt. Conflict, war and revolution have generally been seen in political thought as problems to be managed by stable domestic political communities. In different ways, all the paradigmatic thinkers here acknowledge them instead as inevitable dimensions of human experience, manifested through different ways of acting politically – while yet offering radically distinct answers about how they can be handled. This book dramatically broadens the canon of political thought by considering perspectives on the international system that challenge its historical inevitability and triumph. Drawing on history, theology, and law as well as philosophy, Paul Kelly introduces thinkers who challenge fundamentally the ways in which we should think about the nature and scope of political institutions and agents. He illuminates many troubling contemporary conflicts with a critical and historical perspective. This book is primarily intended for second year and upwards undergraduate students in general political theory and international theory, and advanced international relations students. Each chapter is also downloadable on its own for use in courses considering only some of the ten theorists covered. Written in an accessible way Conflict, War and Revolution will also interest advanced general readers with interests in the historical thought underpinnings of political ideas and today’s international politics.13152023-01-16T17:35:33Z2024-01-22T14:52:37ZIntroduction to Political Science Research Methods - 1st Edition<img alt="Read more about Introduction to Political Science Research Methods - 1st Edition" title="Introduction to Political Science Research Methods - 1st Edition cover image" class="cover " width="232" height="300" data-controller="cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDQ2MCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--fd44bb3e7c6a37786de2c8a6f8b54b2a4dde4e28/Copy-of-OER-for-POLS-160-1-232x300.png" />Welcome to the official website for Introduction to Political Science Research Methods and Polimetrics: A Stata Companion to Introduction to Political Science Research Methods workbook!

En la segunda, se analiza el entorno jurídico en el contexto de los recursos naturales especialmente del petróleo, en el marco de la Ley de Hidrocarburos y de la Constitución de la República del Ecuador. Y en la tercera, se analiza la producción en el Campo Sacha, adjudicada a ORNCEM mediante el contrato de servicios específicos y de acuerdo a sus dos contratos modificatorios. Se concluye con algunas consideraciones que se deben tomar en cuenta y que llaman a la reflexión cuando se proponen y ejecutan contratos cuyo beneficio no es el mejor para el país. Por otro lado, los bosques son grandes “limpiadores” de dióxido de carbono, al ser destruidos se anula su potencial de absorción y, por lo tanto, contribuyen al calentamiento global del planeta por el incremento de gases de efecto invernadero, razón por la cual, se debe contrarrestar la deforestación.
