56. The AIIB in the Liberal International Order

Author

Stephen, Matthew D., Skidmore, David, Stephen, Matthew D., and Skidmore, David

Abstract

The rise of China raises fundamental questions about the future of the liberal international order (LIO) at a time when it is under ever more strain. Although China’s focus for some years was on joining and participating in existing multilateral institutions, today China is increasingly building its own. Prominent among them is the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), launched in late 2014. Against the background of contending theoretical expectations, this article examines the extent to which the AIIB either reinforces or challenges the LIO and highlights what this tells us about China’s broader relationship with the LIO. We provide a definition of the LIO that is based on its social purpose rather than on its formal characteristics. State-centric approaches offer insights into China’s decision to engage in new institution building via the AIIB, but we argue that a focus on social purpose is necessary to assess the AIIB’s broader implications for the LIO. We find that, while conforming in large measure to existing institutional models, the AIIB promotes China’s integration into global social networks, strengthens state-led development pathways, and is associated with the Chinese norm of non-interference. The AIIB, thus, foreshadows the possibility of an institutionalised international order indifferent to liberalism. In sum, the AIIB reflects the tensions between the socialising effects of the LIO and China’s growing externalisation of its own non-liberal, state-led model of political economy.

Abstract

A study was conducted to evaluate the frequency, clinical and mutational spectrum of neurofibromatosis type 1-like syndrome (NFLS) among a large group of patients. Results indicated that a high autosomal dominant inactivating sprouty-related EVH1 domain containing protein 1 mutation detection rate was found in NF1 mutation-negative families.

69. The sociology of friendship : historical, literary & empirical perspectives

Author

Skidmore, David

Subjects

Abstract

Friendship has been extensively examined over recent years, particularly in the field of social psychology. I argue that, rather than friendship, other relationships implying friendship, which I term 'association', have been the focus of attention in these previous studies. This outcome is the result of 'outsider' approaches as a method of investigation which cannot approach an essentially 'internal' relationship like 'friendship'. By examination of historical, literary and empirical texts, a model of 'real' friendship was identified. Subsequently, both 'insider' (participative) and outsider (non-participative) techniques were used to examine the feasibility of this model in everyday life. My own personal location is identified within this study, so that an understanding of the direction that the study takes can be identified. Essentially, two types of relationships, that are labelled 'friendship' by 'actors', were identified: 1) Friendship: Which is argued to be a projection of 'self' that manifests as identification of certain idealistic/romantic attributes or qualities in others, and consequently only achieves 'reality' in a person's interpretation of events. In this respect it contains 'internality'. 2) Association: Which is a relationship frequently mistaken for friendship by observers, but is marked by its 'externality', in that such relationships are normally bonded by a shared activity where concern for the person is minimal. Rather than taking a direct, positivistic approach to the subject, this approach 'unfolds' as it progresses, to identify, not only my own position, but also how people define friendship. Combination of 'insider' and 'outsider' approaches provide data that illustrate the attributes and constructions of both 'friendship' and 'association'. Friendship is argued to be a device for anchoring the person's ideals in social reality, whereas association is argued to be a common relationship, sought to allow the outlet of an 'enjoyable' activity; in this respect the activity takes precedence over the person. Finally, it is suggested within the text that a combination of 'insider' and 'outsider' methods is crucial when approaching the study of any type of relationship.

79. Foreign policy interest groups and presidential power: Jimmy Carter and the battle over ratification of the Panama Canal treaties

Author

Abstract

The literature on the belief systems of foreign policy elites suggests that the Cold War consensus of the fifties and sixties gave way to elite fragmentation during the seventies. Yet relatively little work has been done to uncover the political consequences of this division. In particular, we need to know more about how these competing elites organized themselves politically and what effect various groups or coalitions had on policy. The paper examines elite mobilization surrounding the debate over ratification of the Panama Canal Treaties. We find that, although a skilled political performance allowed President Carter to claim victory in a close Senate vote favoring ratification, the Canal treaties debate provided conservative forces with an opportunity to consolidate an interest group coalition far superior in resources and organization to that of their liberal opponents. This asymmetrical interest group environment was to continually plague Carter's ongoing efforts to institutionalize reform in American foreign policy.

Abstract

Let p be a prime positive integer and let α be a positive integer greater than 1. A method is given to reduce the problem of finding a nontrivial factorization of α to the problem of finding a solution to a system of modulo p polynomial congruences where each variable in the system is constrained to the set {0,...,p − 1}. In the case that p = 2 it is shown that each polynomial in the system can be represented by an ordered binary decision diagram with size less than 20.25log2(α)3 + 16.5log2(α)2 + 6log2(α) whereas previous work on the subject has only produced systems in which at least one of the polynomials has an ordered binary decision diagram representation with size exponential in log2(α). Using a different approach based on the Chinese remainder theorem we prove that for α ≥ 4 there is an alternative system of boolean equations whose solutions correspond to nontrivial factorizations of α such that there exists a C > 0, independent of α, such that for any order σ on the variables in the system every function in the system can be represented by a σ-OBDD with size less than C log2(log2(α))2log2(α)4 .
