The Dynamics of Public Opinion

Mary Layton Atkinson | University of North Carolina, Charlotte A central question in political representation is whether government responds to the people. To understand that, we need to know what the government is doing, and what the people think of it.

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
