Abstract: The size of the prison population varies enormously from one jurisdiction to another, due to marked differences both in the extent to which imprisonment is used and in the average length of prison sentences. This article reviews many of the studies which have sought an explanation for these variations and considers the theories which they have proposed or tested. It concludes that neither 'deterministic' nor 'policy choice' explanations have proved satisfactory, and suggests that detailed cross‐cultural research on prison rates, which focusses upon not only the impact of quantitative demographic and socioeconomic variables but also the effect of different criminal justice structures and policies, is now required.

The volume is divided into three parts. Part one focuses on the models, men, and institutions involved in the development of the international macroeconomic model. In this section, the contributors examine the two monetary approaches to the balance of payments, as well as the relationship between long-term fluctuations in real exchange rates and inflation. Part two deals with the present state of the models by looking at Robert Mundell's theory of optimum currency areas (OCAs) and its relationship with key currencies. The chapters in this section also consider the impact of exchange rate variability on labor markets, as well as the interactions between theoretical developments and real-world behavior in the open economy macromodel. The third and last part of this volume provides a perspective on the future by looking at alternate models and institutional perspectives. Several contributors examine the relationship between asset prices, the real exchange rate, and unemployment in a small economy via what they call "a medium-run structuralist perspective". The future of institutional structures necessary to conduct international economic policy is the subject of the last chapters in part three of the volume

This paper deals with two issues. By linking culture and political systems, we develop alternatives to the "Developmental State" approach and propose, among other types, the "Bureaucratic State" for explaining the case of Japan. We extend the Laffont‐Tirole (L‐T) model of regulatory capture and propose a "bureaucratic capture" model. Variations of capture are shown to apply, given particular cultural predispositions. The case of atomic energy in Japan and the United States is then studied to assess the predictive efficacy of the extended L‐T model. We conclude that cultural predispositions and the corresponding state types affect the degree to which capture takes place.
