UK v. US
• Similar – Cultural– Foreign policy– Legal traditions – Car Culture???
• Opposite ends of the spectrum on– gasoline tax policy – addressing climate change

Car culture: gasoline taxes and prices per liter in 31 countries (2004):

Who needs the most gasoline per capita?Urban v Rural

Does “need” translate into policy preference?
![Page 6: The Democratic Peace](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815db7550346895dcbe5fc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Policy outcome?
• We’ve got Interests & Incentives
• Now, to get the policy outcome,…
• We interact interests/incentives with a domestic political institution:
Malapportionment!
![Page 7: The Democratic Peace](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815db7550346895dcbe5fc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Malapportionment tends to weigh RURAL preferences more than URBAN
(i.e., Proportional representation tends to weigh URBAN preferences more than RURAL)
Does this have an effect on NATIONAL policy?
![Page 8: The Democratic Peace](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815db7550346895dcbe5fc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Test:
• Does malapportionment affect:–Gasoline prices–Kyoto ratification
![Page 9: The Democratic Peace](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815db7550346895dcbe5fc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Kyoto Protocolto the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change
• Stabilize atmospheric “greenhouse” gas• 1997 (enter into force: 2005)• 2009: 187 states ratified
• Commitment to reduce greenhouse gases:– carbon dioxide– methane– nitrous oxide– sulphur hexafluoride

Which came first?• Car culture?
• Malapportionment?
• Once created, however, car-culture may reinforce malapportionment
• Car-culture may have other effects:– Crash:– It's the sense of touch.... Any real city, you walk, you know? You brush
past people. People bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much that we crash into each other just so we can feel something.
• Hypothesis: car-culture exacerbates racial/ethnic tension• Operationalized: automobiles/capita inter-ethnic/racial violent crime

Main take-home from last time:
• What is it to explain?– to state the conditions under which it always
or usually takes place (perhaps probabilistically)
• The BRIDGE– The BRIDGE between historical observations
and general theory is the substitution of variables for proper names and dates
![Page 16: The Democratic Peace](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051218/56815db7550346895dcbe5fc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Religion vs. Science(Faith vs. Skepticism)
• RELIGION & SCIENCE both respond to mystery• The key to religion is faith
– in the religious hierarchy– in the Bible– in the Koran– Clear your mind of questions; there is no “why”
• The key to science is skepticism– theories must be tested, and tested, and tested– we never achieve “Truth” with a capital T– we never “prove”

G20• Calls for a reevaluation of the BWI vote shares
• Why care about the G20?– Doesn’t do anything– Arbitrary membership (out of date)
• Represents the arrival of the emerging markets!
• More representative?
• Who is the G20?22

than joining around the same time– Data for the entire period are available

Asian Monetary Fund Proposal?• Going back to the aftermath of the US/IMF
bailout of Mexico in 1995: TEQUILA CRISIS• Japanese policy-thinkers/makers begin thinking
about an “Asian Monetary Organization” ($20 billion)
• Why? – Believed that the US would not act as vigorously in
the event of a crisis in Asia
• Then: East Asian Financial Crisis• http://www.xtimeline.com/timeline/Asian-
Financial-Crisis 50

Why did Japan (not US or EU)lean towards liquidity provision in the East Asian Crisis?
25% of Japanese lending to all developing countries went to Thailand! 52

Japan’s position at the IMF re: Indonesia
• Japan opposed major structural reforms (eliminate national projects, reduce subsidies, restructure financial structure)
• Japan supported a loan package to stabilize the exchange rate
• IMF ignored Japan

Analytical toolkit• TRILEMMA
• Time-inconsistent preference problems– “Commitment” problems– Remember Ulysses and the sirens– USING INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS TO “LOCK-IN” OR
INFLUENCE POLICY
• Veto players (stability of policy)
• Stability of democracy in rich democracies
• Objectives of leaders: stay in power!– The optimal strategy to fulfill this goal depends on
incentives/constraints shaped by institutional context
• “Controlling” for variables (holding conditions constant)71
