Classical republican theories are monadic in the sense of seeing in each political regime a set of typical operating characteristics. There is disagreement as to what those characteristics are and specifically whether republican governments are more likely to be aggressive or peace loving. We group these two views as (democratic) mobilization theory versus (republican) checks theory and argue, first, that each can help us understand the finer structure of republican government; second, that they are not contradictory but can be combined in various ways in the same institutions; and third, that they offer the prospect of deepening our understanding of what is called the democratic peace proposition.

Dieser Artikel versucht die Regulierung des Finanzsystems durch nationale Politik zu erklären. Basierend auf Evidenz aus 22 Industrieländer wird argumentiert, dass das Wahlsystem - insbesondere inwieweit es zentrifugal oder zentripetal ist - einen signifikanten Einfluss darauf hat, ob Banken oder ihre Konsumenten für die Sicherheit des Bankensystems zahlen. Ausserdem beeinflusst die politische Dynamik, die durch das Wahlsystem ausgelöst wird, die Form und das Ausmass sachverständiger Regulierung, die Länder an die Stelle von Bankkartellen setzen.

With little domestic fanfare and even less attention internationally, Japan has been reinventing itself since the 1990s, dramatically changing its political economy, from one managed by regulations to one with a neoliberal orientation. Rebuilding from the economic misfortunes of its recent past, the country retains a formidable economy and its political system is healthier than at any time in its history. Japan Transformed explores the historical, political, and economic forces that led to the country's recent evolution, and looks at the consequences for Japan's citizens and global neighbors.
