Attitudes toward Eliminating Income Inequality in Europe
In this paper, we seek to understand why attitudes vary among individuals regarding the issue of income distribution in European Union member states. We believe that the issue of income inequality is a potentially significant political cleavage that may have an important influence in meaningful ways in European politics. Rather than focusing on the national context to explain variation in citizen attitudes toward income inequality, we control for…
Women's Status and Economic Globalization
This article examines the relationship between women's status and economic globalization. The expectations of both proponents and skeptics of globalization are discussed with regard to women's status, and a series of statistical examinations of this relationship are performed using data on 130 countries from 1982 to 2003. To control for the potential sensitivity of findings to the use of particular indicators of women's status, we use five indica…
Good Things to Those Who Wait? National Elections and Government Respect for Human Rights
What exactly is it about democracy that enables it to protect human rights? As part of the research program addressing that important question, this article examines the relationship between democratic national legislative and presidential elections and government respect for human rights in over 100 countries from 1981 to 2000. Both presidential (direct and semi-presidential) and lower-house national legislative elections are found to be reliabl…
Banking Crises, Collective Protest and Rebellion
Both developed and developing countries have experienced turmoil associated with banking sector failures. However, while there exists literature studying the economic costs of banking meltdowns, little scholarly attention has been devoted to examining the relationship between banking crises and domestic agitation (internal conflict). Failing to explore the impact of banking crises on domestic agitation risks excluding a key component in understan…
Explaining Citizen Support for Trade Liberalization
This paper examines individual attitudes in six industrialized democracies to determine what factors condition citizens' support for trade liberalization. We argue that public support for trade liberalization is influenced by politically driven views and individual economic utilitarian considerations. To test our propositions, we develop and estimate a series of logistic regression models of public support for trade liberalization. That data are …
Globalization and Government Policy Independence
Globalization and Government Policy Independence
This study examines the relationship between national corporate tax policies and globalization. Specifically, we empirically focus on whether the internationalization of markets has led to lower corporate taxes across OECD countries. In contrast to other studies, we consider whether government education and research programs provide policymakers additional capacity to deal with the pressures of globalization. Such government programs may enhance …
Money with a Mean Streak? Foreign Economic Penetration and Government Respect for Human Rights in Developing Countries
This study examines the relationship between foreign economic capital and the level of government respect for two types of human rights in developing countries. Two opposing schools of thought offer explanations as to what this relationship might be like. According to the liberal neoclassical school, the acceptance of liberal economic doctrine will provide positive political benefits to developing countries. The "dependency" school, on the other …
The Economy, Accountability, and Public Support for the President of the European Commission
Using public approval for the President of the European Commission as an example, we investigate whether there are economic effects on public support for political authority: (1) when democratic accountability is absent; and (2) when public information about authorities is low. We find that economic effects as traditionally defined are weak, but that people make utilitarian assessments even when authorities cannot be held directly accountable. Mo…
