The Importance of Campaign Promises Tabitha Bonilla | Northwestern University, Illinois

The Partisan Next Door Stereotypes of Party Supporters and Consequences for Polarization in America Ethan C. Busby
In the United States, politics has become tribal and personalized. Using data from surveys, experiments, and Americans’ own words, we explore the content of partisan stereotypes and find that they come in three main flavors—parties as their own tribes, coalitions of other tribes, or vehicles for political issues.

China’s Gilded Age The Paradox of Economic Boom and Vast Corruption Yuen Yuen Ang | University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
By unbundling corruption into four distinct categories, Ang shows that the type of corruption that dominates in China - ‘access money’ (elite exchanges of power and profit) - perversely stimulates investment and growth while producing serious risks for the economy and political system. • Provides the most data-rich study of Chinese corruption to date • Explains the enduring puzzle of economic boom and vast corruption in China by highlighting the differential effects of different types of corruption • Proposes a typology that unbundles corruption into four distinct varieties, paired with a new Unbundled Corruption Index (UCI) that covers fifteen countries, including China • Through a comparative-historical lens, it shows that the rise of capitalism was not accompanied by the eradication of corruption, but rather by its evolution from thuggery and theft to access money
