Natural resources and conflict: the crucial role of power mismatch and geographic asymmetries
No full textNatural resource rents are often equated with political turmoil and fighting. While one can easily find examples where there has been such a link (see e.g. the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Chad, Nigeria or Iraq), one can as easily pick examples of both democracies (e.g. Norway) or nondemocracies (e.g. Saudi Arabia) where resource wealth has not been associated with political instability. As argued below, whether the spoils of nature give birth to the horror of war depends on a series of geographical and political factors, namely asymmetries and mismatches that are not compensated by appropriate policies
Strategic Mass Killings
No full textWe provide a model of conflict and mass killing decisions to identify the key variables and situations that make mass killings more likely to occur. We predict that mass killings are most likely in countries with large amounts of natural resource rents, polarization, institutional constraints regarding rent sharing, and low productivity of labor. The role of resources such as oil, gas, and diamonds and other key determinants of mass killings is confirmed by our empirical results based on countrylevel as well as ethnic group–level analysisJoan Esteban gratefully acknowledges financial support from the AXA Research Fund and from the Spanish Government Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnología project ECO2011-25293.

Populist policy making
No full textPolicymaking involves both politicians and bureaucratic agencies, and their interaction is regulated by a number of institutional rules. The populists who manage to enter an executive office typically wish to weaken checks and balances, including the bureaucracy. Thus, the consequences of populism for economic policy can be divided in direct consequences and indirect consequences, through the institutional erosion they cause. Moreover, they can be divided in subnational, national, and global consequences. The paper ends with some advocacy of European-level policymaking rather than national policymaking

Party Formation and Policy Outcomes under Different Electoral Systems
No full textI introduce a model of representative democracy that allows for strategic parties, strategic candidates, strategic voters, and multiple districts. If the distribution of policy preferences is sufficiently similar across districts and sufficiently close to uniform within districts, then the number of effective parties is larger under Proportional Represen-tation than under Plurality Voting (extending the Duvergerian predictions), and both electoral systems determine the median voter’s preferred policy outcome. However, for more asymmetric distributions of preferences the comparative results are very different; the Duvergerian predictions can be reversed; compared with the median voter’s preferred policy, the outcome with Proportional Representation can be biased only towards the center, whereas under Plurality Voting the policy outcome can be anywhere. The sin-cere vs. strategic voting issue is welfare irrelevant, but sincere voting induces more party formation

Controversia politica e giudice internazionale: considerazioni a margine della prolusione napoletana di Morelli
No full textIl contributo esamina la nozione di controversia politica nel pensiero di Gaetano Morelli. Muovendo dal rilievo attribuito da Morelli al ruolo che il giudice internazionale potrebbe svolgere rispetto alla soluzione dei conflitti politici mediante decisioni fondate su valutazioni equitative o su criteri extragiuridici (rese dunque ex aequo et bono) e, pertanto, rispetto alla creazione del diritto internazionale, il contributo si interroga circa l'attualità di un’impostazione che riconosce una simile rilevanza alla nozione di controversia politica e al giudice internazionale un ruolo cosí pregnante nella produzione del diritto
