Given the apparently negligible impact of social research on Canadian drug law and policy in the 1990's, it might appear that sociologists would be advised to concentrate on providing scholarly explanations, rather than becoming directly involved in the policy forum.

 SELF-ENFORCING FEDERALISM
It should also be `coalition-proof’, by which we mean that no `significant’ subset of persons has an incentive to coordinate a defection to an alternative constitution (or no constitution at all in the case of the dismemberment of the state or anarchy).
If constitutions coordinate political action, we must be certain that they do not do so in such a way as to coordinate, say, incumbent politicians, a military elite, or the mass public, so that they prefer to and can change the constitutional game into something else.

Thereafter, incumbents in safety-sensitive or specified executive positions are subject to unannounced random testing for alcohol and specified drugs.

Another contrived advantage is the ability of incumbents to pressure donors for campaign contributions when there is little evidence of challenge, and to carry over these resources from election to election, continually growing their reserves in order to ward off any potential challenge.
In sum, an incumbent knows that additional spending on his or her own campaign will be of marginal value in increasing votes (or vote margin), but that spending by an opponent will have a dramatic, threatening effect.
Incumbents have a considerable advantage here: they have taxpayer-paid press spokesmen; they make news, and thus have more access to the media; and they have access to "inside information," which they communicate to, and curry favor with, the press.

 `It's Up To You': Women at UBC in the Early Years. by Jo Lapierre   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The slights and limitations the incumbents of this position suffered are almost identical to those inflicted on the warden of Royal Victoria College at McGill several decades earlier.
The long battle for a women's residence at UBC is similarly reminiscent of the struggles that took place at Toronto and Queen's, where women students spent years seeking accommodation in rule-ridden `approved' boarding houses before they gained their own dormitories or access to women's unions or physical educational facilities on campus.
The debate at UBC is presented in isolation from what was going on at the other Canadian and American universities that UBC often took as its models, and also from the social and political changes taking place outside British Columbia during the four decades the book covers.

To be known is to be liked, and campaigns generate large quantities of "knowns" on subjects as diverse as family background, military service, and the details of policy proposals.
Franklin's study of U.S. Senate campaigns found that voters were more precise in their perceptions of their incumbent senator's position on a liberal-conservative scale when exposed to a senatorial campaign featuring the incumbent (Franklin, 1993).
In short, when studying campaigns of differential loudness, the interactions that define campaign effects become more complex; voters' preferences become a function of the volume/intensity of the contestants' appeals, voters' partisan preferences, and their level of exposure to the campaign.
