L'objectif de notre étude sur le concept de «civil» dans la pensée de Montesquieu consiste à établir, dans un premier temps, le contexte dans lequel, après Adam Smith en particulier, et dans le cadre du processus de la séparation des sciences économiques et des sciences juridiques, le domaine du «civil», plus tard désigné comme «société civile», devient l'objet des sciences économiques, et, en second lieu, à voir comment, en même temps, cette notion de «civil» perd la connotation de «société politique et juridique» (c'est-à-dire « civitas »). Pour aborder cette question, nous nous intéressons tout d'abord à l'accroissement de l'intérêt pour l'histoire de I'Antiquité romaine qui connaît un renouveau avec l'humanisme en Europe. Les interprétations portant sur l'histoire romaine reflètent les intérêts des intellectuels aux prises avec leur propre société contemporaine, et la diversité de ces interprétations nous permet de retracer l'évolution des moyens analytiques employés pour penser la société en général. Dans cette perspective, nous étudions Montesquieu en référence à Machiavel qui a vécu à une période cruciale dans le Nord de l'Italie entre la fin du 15e et le 16e siècle, puis, à Harrington qui a vécu à l'époque de la 1ère révolution anglaise au milieu du 17e siècle et, finalement, à David Hume qui a défendu le régime établi après la Glorieuse révolution en 1688. À partir de ces analyses, nous rendront compte des causes de l'évolution des sciences sociales au cours de ces siècles, qui constituent la période historique dans laquelle s'est établi graduellement le système étatique moderne. / The objective of our study on the concept of "civil" in the thought of Montesquieu consists at first in presenting the context in which, especially after Adam Smith, and in the process of the separation of economical sciences from legal sciences, the sphere of the "civil", la ter called "civil society", becomes the object of economical sciences, and second, in understanding how, at the same time, the notion of "civil" lost the connotation of "political and legal society", that is "civitas". To approach this question, our first concern focuses on the increasing interest on R.oman antiquity which begin as renewal in huamnist thought in Europe. lntepretations of Roman history actually reflect the interests of intellectuals preoccupied with their own contemporary society. Nonetheless the divcrsity of these interpretations helps to understand the evolution of the analytical means used to analyse the society in general. ln this perspective, we compare Montesquieu with Machiavelli who lived in an incisive period in North of ltaly in the 15th, and the begging of the 16th, century, along with Harrington who lived in the time of the Civil War in England in the middle of the 17th century and, fïnally, with David Hume who defended the govemement established after the Glorious Revolution in 1688. From these analyses, we show the causes of the progressive sophistication of the social sciences matching the historical period during which the modern state system has gradually been established.

The Harrington Peak Quadrangle is located within the Caribou National Forest of southeast Idaho. Within this quadrangle are outcrops of olivine trachyte of Pliocene(?) age overlying sedimentary rocks of Mississippian to Tertiary age. The region contains thrust faults and later normal faults (generally trending north-south} formed during Basin and Range extension. The Largest outcrop of olivine trachyte (approximately1 1/2 X 3 km) probably formed as the result of a fissure eruption. Two other outcrop areas show evidence of being sites of local extrusion. Whole-rock chemical analyses revealed the olivine trachyte to have moderate amounts of SiO2 and Al2O3, high MgO and CaO, and K2O in excess over Na2O (approximately 2:1). Mineralogical characteristics include microphenocrysts of Mg-rich olivine and diopsidic augite in a groundmass of Ba-rich sanidine, diopsidic augite, Fe-Ti oxides, and less commonly phlogopite and/or plagioclase. The olivine trachyte closely resembles the ciminites from the Viterbo region of Italy and has some petrological and mineralogical similarities to many other continental potassic volcanic rocks. The olivine trachyte may have formed by partial melting of a heterogenous mica peridotite mantle source enriched in incompatible elements during a previous tectonic event.

The period of English history between the second Civil War and the Restoration opened up seemingly unlimited possibilities for shaping the country�s future. The period likewise witnessed an unprecedented surge of political imagination, a development which is particularly visible in Interregnum utopianism. More than ever before, utopianism orientates itself to a hopeful and expectant reality. It is no longer fictional or contemplative. Its ambitions and fulfilment are political; there is a drive towards active political participation. Utopianism reshapes its former boundaries and reinvents itself as reality utopianism. Considering this new reality-orientated identity, the utopias of the 1650s are especially useful in providing an insight into the political imagination of this period. This thesis studies three reality utopias of the 1650s: Winstanley�s The Law of Freedom, Harrington�s Oceana and Hobbes�s Leviathan. Each work represents a uniquely different utopian vision: Winstanley imagines an agrarian communism, Harrington revives classical republicanism, and Hobbes stresses absolute sovereignty. These three different utopian visions not only illustrate the range of the political imagination; they provide an opportunity to examine different ways to deal with the existing political and social concerns of the Interregnum and different perspectives for ideal solutions. Interregnum utopianism is shaped by the expectations and violence of the English Revolution and accordingly it is characterised by the heightened hopes and fears of its time. Despite substantial differences in the three utopias, the elemental hopes and fears expressed in these works remain similar. The hope for change and a better future is negotiated textually with a fear of anarchy and violence. In the end a compromise between opportunity and security has to be found. It is this compromise that shapes the face of Interregnum utopianism and reflects a major aspect of the post-revolutionary political imagination in England.

This dissertation has two main objectives. First, we investigate the effectiveness of penalties and other enforcement tools on regulatory compliance, and comprehensively address problems that exist in previous regulatory compliance studies. Second, we develop a model that explains why most empirical studies of regulatory compliance yield results that seem to be inconsistent with the theoretical predictions of Harrington’s (1988) seminal article on regulatory compliance. Thus the dissertation comprises two essays. In Essay One, we estimate facility compliance with the Clean Water Act (CWA) by comprehensively addressing the problems that exist in previous studies. The first problem is the failure to take into account undetected violations. To address this problem, we employ Detection Controlled Estimation (DCE) model, developed by Feinstein (1990). The DCE variant that we use is the two-sided expectation simultaneity version. We use this version because we assume that potential violators will react to what the regulator would do, and vice versa. The second problem that we address is in the measurement of regulatory penalties. Previous studies use dummy variables, but using a continuous measure of penalty enables us to differentiate the responses of minor from substantial violators, and avoid measurement error. Finally, we use a richer set of covariates. We include variables that were found to be statistically and economically significant in different previous studies, but which have never been estimated jointly. The results in Essay One indicate that facilities do respond to penalties, but the effect is economically insignificant. We argue that the small effect of penalties in reducing noncompliance comes from the way regulators enforce the regulations: penalties are rarely imposed on detected violators, or if imposed, the amount is usually negligible. The policy implication that arises from our findings is that if regulators want to see a substantial increase in the probability of compliance, it should consider imposing more frequent and severe penalties. The positive effects of more stringent enforcement on compliance rates come from three sources: (1) through specific deterrence effect; (2) through general deterrence effect; and (3) through an increase in the probability of self-reported violations, which allows for more efficient use of inspection budgets. In Essay Two, we extend Harrington’s (1988) theoretical model by (1) introducing an imperfect detection parameter, and (2) relaxing the movement between the groups, as in Friesen (2003). The extended model shows that when detection is imperfect, the zone for the “always-violate” strategy expands. This expansion has two implications. First, when firms are uniformly distributed in cost space, the number of firms that choose the “always-violate” strategy increases. Second, any empirical study that uses major facilities will be more likely to confirm “always-violate” strategy, but fail to confirm the other two strategies discussed in Harrington (1988). We also discuss other possibilities that can contribute to the difference between empirical results and theoretical predictions.

Harvest Weed Seed Control (HWSC) concentrates, removes, or destroys weed seeds as they pass through the combine. Seed impact mills are modifications that are mounted directly to the back of a combine and are one way to implement HWSC. Seed impact mills kill weed seeds during harvest, preventing seeds from being added to the soil seedbank. Mills like the Redekop Seed Control Unit (SCU) and the integrated Harrington Seed Destructor (iHSD) could be used in soybean and wheat production in the eastern United States. Understanding the effectiveness and limitations of these mills is important for grower adoption. So, the aim of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of two seed impact mills, the Redekop SCU and the iHSD, in soybean and wheat. The first objective tested general seed kill of problematic species in soybean and wheat and seed kill in adverse conditions, such as high chaff flow rate into the mill and high chaff moisture. Results from objective one indicate that both the Redekop SCU and iHSD killed >98% and >91% of problematic weed seeds in soybean and wheat, respectively. Increases in chaff flow rate and chaff moisture resulted in a decrease in seed kill for specific species depending on the mill. But even at high chaff flow rates, seed kill remained >98% and >77% in soybean and wheat, respectively. At high chaff moisture, seed kill remained >98% and >74% in soybean and wheat, respectively. The second objective evaluated the percentage of weed seeds that bypassed the seed impact mill by exiting the combine in the straw fraction and the percentage of weed seeds that were killed when they entered the seed impact mill during harvest with a commercial combine. Results at field scale indicated that <5% of weed seeds bypassed the seed impact mill by exiting the combine in the straw fraction during harvest in soybean and wheat. Additionally, during a commercial harvest, the seed impact mills killed >99% and >89% of seeds in soybean and wheat, respectively. The third objective monitored population density changes for common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) in soybean and Italian ryegrass (Lolium perenne ssp. multiflorum) in wheat following a harvest with a seed impact mill. Results from objective three indicated that in the growing season following a harvest with a seed impact mill, common ragweed density was reduced by 26% and 77% in the spring and fall, respectively, in soybean, and Italian ryegrass density was reduced by 48% in wheat. The fourth objective evaluated Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) and its ability to shift its flowering timing in response to HWSC. If weeds flower earlier, they could shatter seeds earlier, and those seeds would bypass HWSC. Through selective breeding, two populations of Palmer amaranth experienced a shift in flowering timing such that the third generations flowered 54.7 and 41.0 days sooner in the greenhouse than the initial generations. In a common garden experiment, the second generations flowered 5.5 and 8.9 days sooner than the initial generations. These results indicate that seed impact mills, like the Redekop SCU and iHSD, can deliver high seed kill rates to a range of weed species at commercial scale in both soybean and wheat. Even in adverse conditions, the mills still killed >74% of seed from tested species. However, weed species can adapt to HWSC selection pressures, resulting in a loss of HWSC efficacy. Overall, this research indicates that seed impact mills are a good tool that growers can implement to reduce the number of weed seeds being returned to the soil seedbank. / Doctor of Philosophy / Herbicide resistance is a growing problem in global crop production systems. Weeds that escape control during the growing season can produce seeds by the time of crop harvest. During harvest, these weed seeds are captured by the combine, separated from the grain, and spread back into the field by the combine. Harvest weed seed control (HWSC) targets these weed seeds as they exit the combine by concentrating, removing, or destroying them. HWSC is a nonchemical weed control method that can be implemented as part of an integrated weed management system. One way to implement HWSC is through the use of seed impact mills, which are aftermarket modifications that can be installed on the back of the combine. These mills process the harvest residue and kill the weed seeds therein. Seed impact mills were initially designed for small grain production systems in Australia, but they have a potential fit in soybean and wheat production systems in the eastern United States as well. The purpose of this research was to evaluate two seed impact mills, the Redekop Seed Control Unit and the integrated Harrington Seed Destructor, for use in soybean and wheat. Stationary mill testing indicated that >98% and >91% of seeds from tested weed species were killed in soybean and wheat, respectively. Additionally, even in adverse conditions, seed kill was >98% for soybean weeds and >74% for wheat weeds. In the field, the results indicated that <5% of seeds were bypassing the mill in the straw fraction and being returned to the field during harvest. Results also indicated that >99% of soybean weed seeds and >89% of wheat weed seeds were killed when they entered the mill during a commercial harvest. Testing the mills in soybean production indicated that common ragweed density was reduced by 26% and 77% in the spring and fall, respectively, in the growing season following the use of a seed impact mill. Likewise, Italian ryegrass density was reduced by 48% following a harvest with a seed impact mill in wheat. The results indicate promise for using seed impact mills in soybean and wheat as a tool to reduce additions to the soil seedbank. However, weeds are known to adapt to management practices, and one way weeds might overcome HWSC is through earlier flowering, potentially leading to weed seeds falling on the ground before harvest and escaping capture by the combine. Through selective breeding, the time to flower for two populations of Palmer amaranth was shortened by 54.7 and 41.0 days in just three generations in the greenhouse, indicating that weeds could potentially adapt to HWSC, making it less effective.
