In recent years, the world has seen a rising backlash against globalization. This article reviews nature, causes, and consequences of globalization backlash. It shows that, contrary to popular narrative, is not associated with large swing in public opinion but rather result its politicization. The increasing influence globalization-skeptic actors resulted more protectionist, isolationist, nationalist policies, some which fundamentally threaten pillars contemporary international order. Both...
3D cancer models are used as preclinical systems to mimic physiologic drug response. We provide evidence for robust changes of proliferation and metabolic capacity in by systematically analyzing spheroids colon cell lines. Spheroids showed relative lower AKT/mTOR/S6K activities compared cells cultured 2D. identified spatial alterations signaling, the level phospho-rpS6 decreased from spheroid surface center, closely recapitulating tumor areas around vessels vivo. These 3D-models displayed...
This article introduces the special issue on political economy of Euro crisis, which aims to improve our understanding causes, consequences, and implications highly unusual nature this crisis: a financial crisis among developed countries within supranational monetary union. The provides brief chronology discusses its underlying reviews ways in comparative international can help us understand crisis. then individual collective contributions articles possible future research paths We conclude...
The Eurozone crisis constitutes a grave challenge to European integration. This article presents an overview of the causes and analyzes why it has been so difficult resolve. We focus on how responses were shaped by distributive conflicts both among within countries. On international level, debtor creditor countries have fought over distribution responsibility for accumulated debt; with current account surpluses deficits who should implement policies necessary reduce imbalances. Within...
Abstract International institutions are increasingly being challenged by domestic opposition and nationalist political forces. Yet, levels of politicization differ significantly across countries facing the same international authority as well within over time. This raises question when why mass public poses a challenge to cooperation. In this article, we develop theoretical framework for understanding nature implications cooperation, outlining three scope conditions: contestation, activities...
This article examines the systemic implications of growing popular backlash against international cooperation and analyzes how voter-endorsed attempts to withdraw from institutions reverberate abroad. Observing other countries’ disintegration experiences allows voters better assess feasibility desirability such withdrawals. More positive withdrawal encourage exit-support abroad, whereas negative are likely have a deterring effect. These contagion effects will be conditioned by availability...
Does globalization affect the demand-side of politics, and if so, how? This paper builds on new developments in trade theory to argue that matters, but its effects individuals’ perceptions labor market risk policy preferences are more heterogenous than previous research has acknowledged. Globalization exposure increases demands for social protection among low-skilled individuals, decreases them high-skilled individuals. conditional effect is observationally distinct from classic models as...
When countries face balance-of-payments crises, their policy responses vary widely. This article argues that the choice between two main options of internal adjustment (i.e., austerity and structural reforms) external exchange-rate devaluation) depends on how costly each these strategies is for a country overall. Although strategy thus structurally determined, level political conflict associated with crisis management both national vulnerability profile partisan interests. Moreover,...
Abstract When popular referendums fail to ratify new international agreements or succeed in reversing existing ones, it not only affects domestic voters but also creates negative spillovers for the other parties such agreements. We explore how respond this strategic environment. use original survey data from a poll fielded just one day before 2015 Greek bailout referendum—a referendum which stakes countries were particularly high—to investigate expectations about likely foreign response...
Abstract How do external economic shocks influence domestic politics? We argue that those materially exposed to the shock will display systematic differences in policy preferences and voting behavior compared unexposed, political parties can exploit these circumstances. Empirically, we take advantage of 2015 surprise revaluation Swiss franc identify Polish citizens with direct exposure this exogenous event. Using an original survey fielded prior elections embedded experiment, show...
Abstract We investigated the morphologic structure and fluid content of atherosclerotic specimens fresh human postmortem artery segments before after application a pressure 5 atmospheres simulated by weight kg per 1 cm 2 . After applying in nonorganized atheromata, we noticed marked reduction thickness while fibrotic atheromata observed only smaller differences thickness. Reduction was significantly more pronounced atheromatous tissue. closely related to (i e, content). The time necessary...
On 23 June 2016, a majority of 52% British voters decided in referendum that the United Kingdom should leave European Union. The decision sent shockwaves around Britain, Europe, and world: 'Brexit'-vote presents first instance country has voted to exit major supranational institution, putting both integration project future globalized world into question. At time writing, four months after vote, contours Brexit remain unclear. Yet even within this short frame, politics have been remarkable...
How does offshoring affect individual party preferences in multiparty systems? We argue that exposure to influences for those political parties with clear policy positions on issues relevant individuals offshorable jobs (left, liberal, and center-right parties) but not voting decisions concentrating other (green or populist right parties). Examining individual-level data from five waves of the European Social Survey 18 advanced democracies, we find these effects vary by skill level exposure....
Many cell lines derived from solid cancers can form spheroids, which recapitulate tumor clusters and are more representative of the in vivo situation than 2D cultures. During spheroid formation, a small proportion variety different colon cancer did not integrate into sphere lost cell-cell adhesion properties. An enrichment protocol was developed to augment these cells 100% purity. The basis for separation spheroids non-spheroid forming (NSF) is simple gravity-sedimentation. This gives rise...
Is the contemporary global order under threat? This contribution weighs case for and against notion that we are witnessing an existential challenge to order. We show there grounds optimism with respect endurance of first two ordering principles order: a state-led economic liberalism, because states remain key actors in current world overall support liberalism remains strong. However, see greater challenges procedural principle inclusive, rule-based multilateralism, such as unilateral...
Despite years of crisis, the euro has enjoyed strong popular support across Eurozone periphery. In light high costs internal devaluation strategies, this begs question why public remained in favor common currency. article, we propose a theoretical mechanism that accounts for both voters’ pocketbook preferences and their sociotropic assessments over noisy trade-offs associated with outcomes membership exit. Using original survey data from three consecutive waves Greece (conducted July,...
Abstract How do voters want their governments to respond when another country unilaterally withdraws from an international institution? We distinguish between negotiation approaches that vary in the degree which they accommodate withdrawing state's demands and argue preferences are shaped by two issues. The first is voters’ exposure costs benefits of accommodation. This varies across issues, we citizens will generally prefer non-accommodation on zero-sum but support more accommodation...
In research on the political economy of exchange rates, a good understanding who will endorse and oppose certain exchange-rate policies is central to how actual are made global system changes over time. Since existing classifications level preferences have several shortcomings, this article proposes new more nuanced strategy for identifying valuation. This approach takes into account complex interrelationship between monetary policy, effects these balance sheets. addition, accounts dynamics...
