Both the East and Southeast China Seas have been home to a series of repeated episodes of tension between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and its neighbors. Much of the existing literature either treats such episodes as isolated data points or as the manifestation of underlying structural factors. In this paper, we argue that repeated tensions can have important effects on subsequent interactions, generating emergent dynamics with dangerous consequences. What is more, we believe those dynamics to already be in play in several of the disputes within East Asia today. Examining recent developments in PRC-Japan and PRC-Philippines relations, we seek to shed light on how iterated episodes of tension are shaping the trajectory of interactions in both dyads. We believe these insights can inform efforts to understand relations in the region and beyond, given the growing frequency and intensity of repeated tensions among actors. 相似文献

Despite the unprecedented levels of liquidity provided by the Federal Reserve to banks during the 2007–2008 financial crisis, lending by banks slowed dramatically during and after that global episode. In this study, we propose that, given capital constraints, the lobbying expenditures by banks to combat Dodd-Frank might have crowded out lending activity. A variety of univariate and multivariate tests show that while lending by banks fell significantly around the financial crisis, lobbying rose dramatically. Our results also show that bank lobbying and lending are imperfect substitutes during non-crisis periods. Such substitutability likely is explained by the value perceived in the political connections gained through lobbying, such as the ability to influence regulation, preferential treatment on supervisory or enforcement decisions, and protection against adverse shocks in the form of government bailouts.
Using findings from research on the implementation of telephone number portability in New Zealand, we demonstrate how narrative analysis can account for how particular influence stories, or policy narratives, come to dominate the policy process. In this paper, we extend the concept of metanarrative, which to date has been interpreted as a story that policy makers use to recast policy problems. Policy metanarratives are shown to have strong pre-figurative effects and to be more pervasive than previously recognised. 相似文献
This article focuses on the provision prognosis for regional public goods (RPGs) and the role of international organizations
in fostering supply in developing countries. All three properties of publicness—i.e., nonrivalry of benefits, nonexcludability
of nonpayers, and the aggregation technology—play a role in this prognosis. The paper highlights many provision impediments,
not faced by national or global public goods. When intervention is necessary, the analysis distinguishes the role of global,
regional, and other institutional arrangements (e.g., networks and public-private partnerships). The pros and cons of subsidiarity
are addressed.

Women who have been sexually coerced by an intimate partner experience many negative health consequences. Recent research
has focused on predicting this sexual coercion. In two studies, we investigated the relationship between men’s use of partner-directed
insults and sexually coercive behaviors in the context of intimate relationships. Study 1 secured self-reports from 247 men
on the Partner-Directed Insults Scale and the Sexual Coercion in Intimate Relationships Scale. Study 2 obtained partner-reports
from 378 women on the same measures. Across both studies, results indicate that men’s use of sexually coercive behaviors can
be statistically predicted by the frequency and content of the insults that men direct at their intimate partner. Insults
derogating a partner’s value as a person and accusing a partner of sexual infidelity were most useful in predicting sexual
coercion. The discussion notes limitations of the current research and highlights directions for future research. 相似文献
