Joseph Galaskiewiez is Professor of Sociology at the University of Arizona, has a courtesy appointment in the School of Government and Public Policy, serves as the Director of Graduate Studies in Sociology, and is the Director of the Certificate Program in Computational Social Science in the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Chicago. He is the author of Exchange Networks and Community Politics (Sage, 1979), Social Organization of an Urban Grants Economy (Academic Press, 1985), Advances in Social Network Analysis (co-edited with Stanley Wasserman) (Sage, 1994), and Nonprofit Organizations in an Age of Uncertainty (co-authored with Wolfgang Bielefeld) (Aldine de Gruyter, 1998). He also published widely in major sociological, management, and nonprofit journals and has been funded by NSF almost continually since 1980. He is the co-winner of the 2016-17 Graduate College Teaching and Mentoring Award (University of Arizona) and the winner of the 2014 Award for Distinguished Achievement and Leadership in Nonprofit and Voluntary Action Research. Professor Galaskiewicz is working on an NSF funded study of the spatial distribution of establishments that provide services and activities on Saturday in the Phoenix urbanized area and the effect this has on what children do that day. This project involves two surveys of community residents (2003 and 2013), a panel study of 647 service providers, and a population analysis of growth and decline among over 100,000 establishments from 2003 to 2013. A second project is in conjunction with scholars at the National Institute for Environmental Studies in Japan. The research examines the domestic, global and network variables which explain why some global environmental treaties are ratified by countries while others are not. The focus in on conventions and protocols open for ratification between 1980 and 2016.

Abstract

There is now a debate globally about the relative merits of liberal democracy as a governance form. We draw on the extant literature and several data sources including the six waves of the World Values Survey, concluding that voluntary associations enhances generalized trust world-widely, and the trust is the necessary condition in the maintenance of democratic institutions, but not sufficient.

自由民主的治理形式是否具有相对优势?这个问题在全球范围内引起了争论。基于现有文献和全球价值观调查数据,我们发现在世界各国,志愿服务组织促进社会资本的累积,而社会资本是保持民主善理的必要而非充分的条件。
