  • Summary

    In accounting for the shift in China’s environmental health policy, there is no denying that domestic actors – politicians, bureaucrats, intellectuals, environmentalists and social forces – are instrumental in setting the new agenda. However, a close look at the policymaking process also highlights the influence of international actors and networks in creating new policy norms and practices, as evidenced by US Foreign Service’s role in including PM2.5 control as a core tenet in the government’s pollution control efforts. The shift to a new monitoring system, in turn, forced the government to take more action on pollution. Ultimately, the PM2.5 crisis of 2013 weaved the problem, policy, and political streams together, pushing all toward serious policy change. By April 2015, the government had put in place three action plans to tackle the country’s air, water and soil pollution problems, respectively. Nevertheless, the same process also reveals the inherent dilemmas, constraints, and limitations China faces in pursuing required policy change.

  • Who Shot the Bullets? Exposure to Violence and Attitudes Toward Peace: Evidence from the 2016 Colombian Referendum

  • Guillermo Kreiman, Juan Masullo

  • Does exposure to violence affect attitudes toward peace? Civilians living in war zones see peace agreements as an opportunity to improve their security prospects. However, in multiparty conflicts, this does not automatically translate into support for peace. Support hinges on the interplay between which faction has victimized civilians in the past and which faction is sitting at the negotiation table. If civilians have been victimized by the group that is involved in the peace agreement, they will be likely to support peace. On the contrary, if they have been victimized by another faction, they will be likely to refrain from supporting peace if they believe that this can trigger retaliatory violence against them. This article explores this argument empirically in the context of the 2016 peace agreement between the Colombian government and the FARC; both quantitative and qualitative data yield support to the study’s theoretical expectations.

  • The Iran-US Claims Tribunal, concerned principally with the claims of US nationals against Iran, is the most important international claims tribunal to have sat in over half a century. Its jurisprudence is bound to make a uniquely important contribution to international law and, in particular, the law relating to aliens, treaty law, and international arbitral procedure. Volume 39 also contains the decisions of the Tribunal's appointing authority in four recent arbitrator challenges and, for the first time, includes the pleadings submitted by the parties and the challenged arbitrator. The series is the only complete and fully indexed report of the decisions of this unique Tribunal. These reports are essential for all practitioners in the field of international claims, academics in private and public international law and comparative lawyers, as well as all Governments and law libraries.

  • The COVID-19 pandemic presents an opportunity to refocus scholarly attention on the politics of crisis. Crises that abruptly upend political and economic relations are important and increasing in frequency. However, the division of international relations into international political economy (IPE) and international security has contributed to the relative neglect of non-militarized crises like pandemics. Crises are defined by threat, uncertainty, and time pressure: understanding them requires a careful examination of how these variables affect political and economic outcomes. Drawing on often disparate literatures on finance, energy and climate change, natural disasters, pandemics, and violent conflict, I propose a broad research program around the politics of crisis, focusing on puzzles related to causes, responses, and transformations.
