Does grand theory shape officials’ speech
In what situations is the speech of foreign policy officials a reflection of speech expounding grand theories of International Relations? Using a linear support vector classification algorithm, we analyze all the published volumes of Foreign Relations of the United States as a single corpus, examining the use of five frames taken from a mix of academic theory and day-to-day practice: realism, geopolitics, liberalism, Cold War politics, and a prag…

The Armageddon Letters
Blight, James G. and Lang, Janet M. (2012) The Armageddon Letters: Kennedy/Khrushchev/Castro in the Cuban Missile Crisis, Rowman and Littlefield (Plymouth, MA), xi + 304 pp. £24.95 hbk., £24.95 e-bk. As the world's best-known brush with nuclear war, the events of October 1962 centred on Cuba continue to fascinate scholars. This volume is less an attempt to present new research than an effort to create an emotional time machine that transports the…
A different two-level game
A well-known approach to modeling international relations treats them as a two-level game played by national governments and international organizations, in which they negotiate with one another while coping with internal constraints on their action posed by domestic politics or organizational governance. Officials in these organizations can play a different two-level game, arising from their simultaneous negotiations within their personal transn…
Organizational Routines in Political Science
This cutting-edge, multidisciplinary Handbook comprises specially commissioned contributions surveying state-of-the-art research on the concept of organizational routines. An authoritative overview of the concept of organizational routines and its contributions to our understanding of organizations is presented. To identify those contributions, the role of organizational routines in such processes as organizational learning, performance feedback,…
US Federal research & development funding
Svensson (1998 Svensson, P. 1998. ‘Strategic Trade Policy and Endogenous R&D Subsidies: An Empirical Study’. Kyklos,, 51(2): 259–75. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar], Kyklos 51(2): 259–75) asked whether strategic trade theory or aspects of sectors' political influence accounted for OECD governments' research and development funding, but he did not consider the roles of military spending or electoral politics. We examine US govern…
Micromanagement” of the U.S. Aid Budget and the Presidential Allocation of Attention
How presidents allocate their attention is the subject of much popular commentary and speculation, but little systematic scholarly research. I focus on an apparent case of presidential “micromanagement”—the practice within the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon White Houses of requiring presidential approval for small (often $ 5 to $ 10 million) foreign aid expenditures. I sketch the outlines of a theory of presidential attention, and show that the degr…

Models, Numbers and Cases: Methods for Studying International Relations. Edited by Detlef F. Sprinz and Yael Wolinsky-Nahmias. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 2004. 424p. $75.00 cloth, $27.95 paper. This volume, which originated in conversations among the editors at the 1997 meeting of the International Studies Association, is an attempt to provide an introductory handbook covering three categories of research methods now widely used in …
Selection and Influence
Studies of the effects of interest groups on congressional roll-call voting typically view party and ideology as competing factors and rely on a factoral model of interests or a sectoral model including only interest groups with a direct stake in the vote. We depart from that strategy in several ways. We define interest groups at the level of Standard Industrial Classification two-digit codes and observe the universe of interests. For 1979–90, we…
Plans and Routines, Bureaucratic Bargaining, and the Cuban Missile Crisis
Recent disclosures about the Cuban missile crisis suggest that organizational routines and plans did not significantly constrain U.S. government choices. Rather than constituting fixed barriers to innovation, routines and plans can be relatively plastic and subject to strategic alterations or misrepresentations. Although this can be partly understood in terms of organizational processes, plans and routines are both a response to and the context f…
The Cuban Missile Crisis and Politics as Usual
Allison's (1971) argument about the importance of bureaucratic politics was supported by his use of the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 as a "least likely case" for their impact. For the same reasons, the crisis is a least likely case for domestic politics affecting foreign policy. Recent disclosures about the U.S. side during the crisis suggest that U.S. public opinion and interest group activity played a role in U.S. government policy choices that…
Case Studies and the Statistical Worldview
Gary King, Robert O. Keohane, and Sydney Verba's Designing Social Inquiry exploits the metaphor of researcher-as-statistician to develop guidelines for conducting social scientific research that are allegedly applicable to all empirical investigations. Their approach has sharp and often unflattering implications for case studies and similar research strategies. Because their statistical worldview is unable to make sense of important aspects of ca…

Aid Politics and Electoral Politics
We broaden the analysis of aid flows by investigating the effects of domestic and transnational electoral politics on Japanese overseas development assistance(ODA). We also consider measures of external financial balance and Japan's importance in the international trading system. We present a method for assessing shifts in Japanese ODA policy. We find that Liberal Democratic Party popularity affects the size of the Japanese ODA budget and the way…
Politics, Process, and American Trade Policy. Sharyn O'Halloran
Is American Foreign Policy Exceptional? An Empirical Analysis
At least since Alexis de Tocqueville's era, the only clearly articulated view of American foreign policy has been exceptionalism, which holds that Americans deprecate power politics and old-fashioned diplomacy, mistrust powerful standing armies and entangling peacetime commitments, make moralistic judgments about other people's domestic systems, and believe that liberal values transfer readily to foreign affairs. ' These dispositions, which seem …

Decision Processes and Co-Operation in Foreign Policy
The case-studies in this volume have tried to understand foreign policy decisions to co-operate with other governments by exploring how decision-makers frame specific problems. We have examined how decision-makers gather information about the situations they face, how they evaluate what they have learned, and how these evaluations affect their policy choices. The five cases provide descriptively accurate accounts of policy-making processes across…

The Politics of Corn Law Repeal and Theories of Commercial Policy
The large shift in voting in the House of Commons on repeal of the Corn Laws in the 1842-46 period has led many analysts to focus on the political calculus of Peel's government and on the role of ideology in shaping this policy change. While the claim that ideology was an independent source of change lacks substantiation, the claims about Peel's changing political calculus are an important part of a larger explanation for the change in voting. Ho…
Changing Aspirations, Limited Attention, and War
The authors present a theory of the general enabling conditions for war which predicts that war is possible, though not inevitable, when the conditions of the theory are satisfied. Whether a war will actually occur depends upon the idiosyncratic situational factors that are outside the scope of the theory. Three conditions make war possible: (i) Aspirations do not match achievements: governments only initiate wars when their achieved share of glo…
Hegemonic Stability Theory and Nineteenth-Century Tariff Levels in Europe
Hegemonic stability theory and 19th century tariff levels in Europe
Although the theory of hegemonic stability has attracted an impressive array of adherents, current formulations leave many conceptual issues unresolved. Existing formulations also fail to draw from the theory any implications concerning the process by which a hegemonic state creates and maintains a regime. As an example, Great Britain is generally agreed to have been hegemonic in the nineteenth century, but Britain's behavior was generally incons…

The Political Economy of the Tariff Cycle
How can protectionism and "free" trade succeed one another? Our answer focuses on the changing balance of private actors' political demands. These actors acquire interests in tariff policies because their assets are spatially concentrated, and trade in these assets is subject to various limitations. Actors in regions experiencing no new investment in an established industry ("old" regions) have interests that sometimes differ from those in region…
Firms and Tariff Regime Change
Although it is commonly argued that there is a connection between tariff levels and business conditions, this hypothesis has not been subjected to systematic empirical analysis or given any theoretical basis. The author presents two complementary theories of the movement of tariff levels in response to changing business conditions. Both explain tariff changes in terms of the changing political demands of business firms, and both rely on the busin…

The limitations of “structural” theories of commercial policy
If a “structural” theory is one that purports to explain behavior in terms of environmental conditions and that largely eschews analysis of the internal processes of decision makers, then it is difficult to identify a theory of commercial policy which is not “structural.” Most microeconomic theory is structural; so are most balance-of-power theories. In the realm of theories of commercial policy, hegemonic stability theories as well as some recen…
