A Theory of the State and of Social Order
The problem of order is addressed by considering the crucial role that social groups play in mediating between individuals and the state. We argue that existing individualistic models of anarchic order cannot account for order in large societies, while state-centered models cannot explain the state's origins. The origin of the state can best be explained as the result of interactions within and between highly solidary social groups. Accordingly, …
The Role of Culture in Public Goods and Other Experiments
Burgeoning literature within the social sciences studies the effects of culture on collective action. In economics, this topic can be found in the rising fields of behavioral economics (Camerer, Loewenstein, and Rabin 2004; Diamond, Vartiainen, and Jahnssonin 2007; Thaler 2007; Wilkinson 2007) and experimental economics (Friedman and Sunder 1994; Friedman 2004; Kagel and Roth 1995), where increasing notice is taken of individuals who do not behav…

Predicting Ethnic Boundaries
It is increasingly accepted within the social sciences that ethnic boundaries are not fixed, but contingent and socially constructed. As a result, predicting the location of ethnic boundaries across time and space has become a crucial but unresolved issue, with some scholars arguing that the study of ethnic boundaries and predictive social science are fundamentally incompatible. This paper attempts to show otherwise, presenting perhaps the first …
The Origin of Values
Choosing an Identity
Social science research is fragmented by the widely differing and seemingly contradictory approaches used by the different disciplines of the social sciences to explain human action. Attempts at integrating different social science approaches to explain action have often been frustrated by the difficulty of incorporating cultural assumptions into rational choice theories without robbing them of their generality or making them too vague for predic…

Endogenous Ideology Formation and Economic Policy in Former Colonies
Entrenching the Yoshida Defense Doctrine
Japan's level of defense expenditure relative to the size of its economy has long been uniquely low among the major industrialized countries. As of 1995, Japan's expenditures stood at 0.96 percent of gross domestic product (GDP). Even adding to this the approximately 0.3 percent of GDP devoted to pensions for retired personnel, the level of spending is considerably less than that of major Western states such as the United States, United Kingdom, …
One for All
A Theory of Ethnic Group Boundaries
Despite widespread agreement that ethnic boundaries are malleable rather than fixed, theories of ethnicity and collective action have been unable to adequately explain why individuals choose to mobilise collectively within particular boundaries rather than others. The boundaries of groups engaging in ethnic collective action are always taken for granted at some level rather than problematised. This leads to an undesirable reification of ethnic gr…
The Critical Mass in Collective Action
An Organizational Economics Theory of Antigovernment Violence
Les theories du comportement politique de l'acteur rationnel considerent generalement la violence antigouvernementale comme une strategie significative utilisee par les individus ou les groupes pour atteindre des buts politiques. Dans le cadre de la theorie de l'action, l'A. montre qu'a l'interieur des organisations souterraines dispersees, les strategies de violence sont correlees au controle interne exerce par les leaders
