However, responsiveness boosted participation over several months for reporters who had been recruited earliest and had been reporting longest, highlighting the critical role of timely government responsiveness in sustaining information flows from citizens. Tolerance underlies many contemporary controversies, yet theorists and political scientists study it in strikingly different ways. The design of government portfolios – that is, the distribution of competencies among government ministries and office holders – has been largely ignored in the study of executive and coalition politics.

This paper examines the relationship between the coming of the railroads, the expansion of primary education, and the introduction of national school curricula. These findings extend to the cyber realm a recent trend that views anger as a primary mechanism linking exposure to terrorism with militant preferences. The article develops a novel theory of how regime characteristics condition responses to external military support, and identifies a distinct mechanism through which military aid increases domestic political violence. The model's functional form accommodates tests of substantive hypotheses found in the small-group literature. This article provides an overview of the literature on the relationship between terrorism and migration. 4 Magleby (1984), p. 198, quoted in Matsusaka 2005. But how does state capacity support autocrats during elections?

It is committed to no methodological orthodoxy over and above the normal canons of scholarship: clear and consistent use of words, logical and mathematical validity, and the use of appropriate evidence to substantiate empirical statements. Does the importance of the economy change during a government's time in office?
