Is morality policy different? Institutional explanations for post-war Western Europe
Although there has been increasing recognition that morality policy in Western democracies is a distinctive field of study, many analyses are relatively narrow in issues and jurisdictions. This contribution examines broad empirical patterns for five morality policy issues across 18 West European democracies since World War II. The issues analysed are abortion, capital punishment, euthanasia, assisted reproductive technology (ART, including stem c…

Hidden Policies and Hypothesis Tests: The Implications of Type II Errors for Environmental Regulation
In an examination of the federal hazardous waste regulations, an analysis of the importance of Type II statistical errors is undertaken. A method for approximating the power of the test is developed, and the EPA policy is examined under selected situations. Additionally a Monte Carlo simulation is provided which compares the efficacy of the EPA required t-test with the Wilcoxon rank sum test. The paper offers a number of conclusions about the app…
Reconsidering the Aggregate Relationship between Size, Economic Development, and Some Types of Foreign Policy Behavior
In a reexamination of the relationship between the size of a nation-state and its foreign policy behavior, two sets of hypotheses which relate size to verbal/nonverbal and conflictual/cooperative dimensions of foreign policy activity are retested, after a discussion of previous problems of definitions, data, and method. Contrary to the findings of East (1973), the proportion of verbal or nonverbal behavior is found to be unrelated to size. The co…
Wars, Alliances, and Military Expenditures: Two Pendulum Hypotheses
Alcock's (1972) two-phase theory of war and an earlier test of the theory are critically reviewed. Two pendulum hypotheses linking the onset of war (defined both broadly and narrowly), the formation of alliances, and changes in military expenditures are derived, operationalized, and tested. Contrary to Alcock's earlier findings, the tests, concentrating on 1900-1965 great power war and alliance behavior, fail to provide any systematic support for…
