... In a study about African courts, Bartels and Kramon (2020) highlight that confidence in courts might be linked to citizens' partisan alignment with the executive. Although supporting a particular politician and rejecting their opponent are often correlated (Samuels et al., 2024;Samuels & Zucco, 2018), they are different concepts (i.e., citizens may reject the main available choices of politicians and parties ;Bélanger, 2004;Hayward & McManus, 2019). ...

... Admittedly, other factors can mitigate the role of party cues (see, e.g., Bullock 2011;Boudreau and MacKenzie 2014), but the influence of political elites on people's preferences and behaviors is undeniable. The role of partisan cues or endorsements in shaping people's attitudes and behaviors is believed to be even stronger in polarized contexts (Druckman, Peterson, and Slothuus 2013) like Brazil (Samuels, Mello, and Zucco 2024). ...

... This contrasts with the view of the Pope (Ziegler 2024) and many bishops (Agliardo 2014) being responsive to Catholics' policy priorities in their addresses and avoiding 8 divisive issues, not to lose the confidence and volunteering resources provided by the faithful. It also contradicts the argument that, in the contemporary history of religions, the official discourse has lurched between, on one side, accommodation of ethical and political preferences to dominant political paradigms and agendas and, on the other, more challenging, even confronting attitudes (Samuels 2023;Cairns 2024;Ziegler 2024). With his new message, Francis unequivocally refutes denials of the global emergency and sides with other religious discourses 7 in definitively stating its factual nature and the human responsibility for it. ...

... Building on the theory of voter-party linkages (Kitschelt, 2000), several studies show how left and rightist political parties, at different success levels, have created ties with societal organizations. These organizations, in turn, provide the party with a stable source of electoral support (Luna, 2014;Pérez, Bentancur, Piñeiro, Rodríguez, & Rosenblatt, 2019;Samuels & Zucco, 2016;Rosenblatt, 2018). Scholars have documented the presence of parties in organizations under dictatorship (Samuels & Zucco, 2016) and democracy (Luna, 2014). ...

... Articles can be desk rejected because of poor quality or because fit to the journal is poor. Desk rejections serve a time-and resource-saving function for journals that receive many submissions (Ansell & Samuels, 2021). Desk rejections also benefit reviewers, preserving their efforts for articles that have a better chance of being published. ...

... Equally, the decision to reject can be a time-consuming and extremely disappointing process for the Editors, where a significant number of submissions are rejected at this initial stage, and authors have perhaps failed to align their submissions to the scope, quality and relevance of the journal (Craig, 2010;Flanagan, 2021;Stolowy, 2017), or have offered insufficient research contribution (Billsberry, 2014;Hierons, 2016;Hulland, 2019). An increase in the level of submissions for key journals, especially from countries such as India, Brazil and China, has exacerbated the situation, where a plethora of weaker papers have entered the pipeline only to be desk rejected at this early stage (Ansell & Samuels, 2021;Ashkanasy, 2010). ...

Cerita dengan mudah disimpan dalam bentuk buku cetakan, buku elektronik, rekaman audio-video, dan bahkan tersedia secara daring di laman-laman Internet (Mahadi et al., 2019;Reyna et al., 2018;Tocantins & Wiggers, 2021). Cerita tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai hiburan tetapi juga digunakan untuk meneruskan pengetahuan dan tradisi, meningkatkan hubungan persahabatan, kekeluargaan dan kekerabatan, merangsang daya imajinasi dan emosi, dan menjadi rujukan untuk mempelajari kebudayaan masyarakat (Mahadi et al., 2019;Samuels & Teele, 2021;Tocantins & Wiggers, 2021). ...

... Moreover, in these patrimonialist contexts, politicians' predominance over bureaucracies tend to be powered by electoral incentives (Samuels 2003). This is: while electors condition their votes on politicians' performance in office, they still struggle to obtain reliable information necessary to substantiate their electoral choices (Bratton, Bhavnani, and Chen 2012;Muñoz 2019). ...

... 17 Further, contemporary agricultural mechanization has changed how farmers relate to the state, and urbanization has decreased the number of rural poor. 18 Today, productive large farms, agribusinesses, 19 and corporations have replaced smaller family farms or more feudal estates. 20 These changes have shrunk the constituency for land redistribution and thus a government can gain less in terms of patronage from land reform. ...

... Women are socialized within these inequalities from the start of their academic journey, with women receiving less quantitative training than men while PhD students (Gatto et al. 2020). Gender gaps persist because they are reproduced through the "Matilda effect" where "women's research is viewed as less important or their ideas are attributed to male scholars, even as a field becomes more diverse" (Dion and Mitchell 2019, 312; see also Brown et al. 2020;Key and Sumner 2019). These gendered ways in how knowledge is produced and evaluated point to women's "epistemic marginalization" and "epistemic discrimination" in the profession (Dalmiya and Alcoff 1993;Fricker 2007;Giladi and McMillan 2022). ...
