Political backlash of economic sanctions
How do economic sanctions affect the political attitudes of individuals working in targeted industries within sanctioned countries? More specifically, do economic sanctions diminish or bolster their political support for incumbent governments? Despite the significance of these questions for understanding the effectiveness of sanctions, existing evidence remains inconclusive. We argue that individuals targeted by sanctions tend to increase their p…
Who Shakes More
How does political tension influence the trade strategies of multinational corporations (MNCs)? Existing literature offers inconclusive evidence and tends to overlook firm-level dynamics. This paper examines two key firm-level linkages to adversarial regions: supply chain connectedness and investment origins. We argue that political tension prompts firms to adopt de-risking strategies to mitigate supply chain uncertainties, whereas home connectio…
Enforcing discipline in China
Governments around the world need internal discipline to ensure the implementation of policies and delivery of governance outputs, and this need is more severe in authoritarian systems that govern top-down and without bottom-up electoral pressures. Conventional wisdom suggests that autocrats rely on punishment to discipline subordinates who fail to obey orders, but we argue that public disclosure of such malfeasance can also be effective, even wh…
Service Motivation under Political Pressure
The county-township cadres in China have a pivotal role as intermediaries between the strong state apparatus and the general population, directly overseeing public services. In contrast to the conventional paradigms that take external political pressure to be paramount in shaping bureaucratic receptiveness, this study uses a bureaucratic subjectivity approach that amalgamates intrinsic service motivation with structuralized external pressures in …
Addressing Risk by Doing Good
Urban Chinese Support for Armed Unification with Taiwan
Based on a nine-city cell phone survey in 2019, this paper systematically examines which groups showed stronger support for armed unification with Taiwan and what factors and mechanisms might contribute to their support. The bivariate analysis shows the politically, economically, and socially privileged groups and those with stronger national pride and more understanding of Taiwan were more pro-armed unification, while residents of the two coasta…
Dividing without Conquering
Based on the literature about the role of rising nationalism in recent world politics, this paper proposes a nationalism-oriented causal model to explain the voting choices of different social groups. With an interest-identity framework, this generic model is applied to Taiwan’s 2016 presidential election to examine whether and to what extent 11 causal mechanisms influence the voting choices of four groups defined by generation, class, and ethnic…
