The promises and pitfalls of cryptocurrencies and blockchain for marginalized communities
Cryptocurrencies, and the blockchain technology that underlies them, have attracted much attention over the last decade from scholars, tech communities, financial institutions, states and more. The extreme volatility of the cryptocurrency market has made some people very rich and cost others almost everything. Importantly, there are many indications that marginalized communities are especially attracted to this new technology while being more vul…
Comparing Chinese and EU trade agreement strategies: Lessons for normative power Europe
This article compares the EU and China’s approaches to negotiating free trade agreements (FTAs). We show how China’s approach is more gradualist with regards to coverage of issues, and argue that this gives China advantages, which it leverages in later deals. While there are important differences in the scope and approach of EU trade negotiations, we argue that the EU could gain similar advantages by incorporating more Chinese-style gradualism to…
Status-quo enhancing versus status-quo challenging change in global economic governance: The case of China in finance and trade
When a state is dissatisfied with an international institution it has different strategies available to it to secure change. These strategies are increasingly well understood due to research in the areas of regime complexity and institutional selection. But while there is an understanding of how the structure of a regime can influence the chances of success of different change proposals, there is less clarity on how the content of proposed change…
China’s Multi-Front Institutional Strategies in International Development Finance
China has expressed its dissatisfaction with aspects of the international development finance regime for many years, related to issues such as its lack of voting power and an insufficient focus on infrastructure spending by traditional multilateral development banks. To address these dissatisfactions, China has utilised a range of approaches, from the application of pressure inside existing institutions, to building outside pressure in the form o…
Creating unfinished institutions: Power trajectory and the consequences of incomplete trade agreements
The evolution of China’s regional trade agreements: Power dynamics and the future of the Asia-Pacific
There is a widespread consensus that China’s growing network of regional trade agreements in the Asia-Pacific has crucial strategic and economic implications for states in the region. Yet despite the recognition that China’s agreements are initially limited and then expanded substantially over time, few accounts explore the strategic and economic implications of this aspect of China’s approach. This article addresses this flaw by drawing attentio…

Investigations at the Sepulveda Adobe
Pedro Sepulveda and his family built and lived at the Sepulveda Adobe in western Los Angeles County from 1863 until 1898. Historical accounts, an oral history account, and architectural evidence within the Sepulveda Adobe form the basis of its history. Archaeological investigations undertaken in 1987, 1990, 2000, and 2001-2003 around and within the adobe, however, have produced inconclusive evidence of 19th century occupation. The archaeological …
Testing Long-Run Properties of Stationary Time Series
In this article, a Wald test is developed for testing long-run properties of stationary time series. The authors specialize the test and consider testing the long-run independence of two time series. They examine two applications of the test for long-run independence
