'We Are Not One People' is a far-reaching account of the varied disunionists who have unmade the nation since its separation from Great Britain. Michael J. Lee and R. Jarrod Atchison argue that separatism is endemically American, and the persistence of American separatism reveals as much about the nation's political culture as it does the would-be separatists. Separatist rhetoric has shaped Americans' experience of what it means to be an American, and we can learn much about the durable appeal and enduring fragility of the United States from those who tried to leave it.
In this article, we examine the foreign policy implications of different types of investment flows. North–South investment is more sensitive to political risks (expropriation, default, civil war) than North–North investment. We argue that North–South investment flows create a constituency within the US financial sector that is likely to support stabilising intervention – military intervention aimed at reducing political risk abroad. Examining political action committee donations from Fortune 500 financial firms with a cross-sectional Tobit model, we find that US financial firms with greater exposure to the Global South are likely to favour congressional candidates with a record of voting for intervention in developing countries. This study contributes to the literature on economic interdependence and peace, proposes an original method for capturing the revealed preferences of political actors, and enhances our understanding of the sectoral underpinnings of foreign policy-making.
Abstract Rats evoke public health and economic concern in cities globally. Rapid urbanization exacerbates pre-existing rat problems, requiring the development and adoption of more effective methods of prevention, monitoring and mitigation. While previous studies have indicated that city-wide municipal management approaches often fail, such outcomes are often left without specific explanation. To determine how municipalities could more effectively develop and implement large-scale approaches, we interviewed stakeholders in municipal rat management programs to document their opinions, recommendations and the challenges they face. Using a thematic framework method, this study collates and analyzes in-depth interviews with 39 stakeholders from seven cities across the United States. Overall, stakeholders' recommendations for municipal rat management aligned with many conceptual attributes of effective management reported in the literature. Specifically, stakeholders highlighted the need to prioritize the reduction of resources available to sustain rat infestations (e.g. food, water and harborage), to focus on proactive (vs. reactive) measures, and to implement large-scale data collection to increase the efficiency of cross-city rat control. Stakeholders also suggested novel approaches to management, such as mitigating rat-associated risks for vulnerable populations specifically and developing tailored initiatives based on the specific needs and desires of residents. We synthesize these recommendations in light of reported barriers, such as resource limitations, and consider several opportunities that may help municipalities reconceptualize their approaches to city-wide rat management.
