Abstract Although many EU countries have reduced corporate taxes in the recent years, there is still a substantial variance between the 12 oldest EU-member states. This contribution revisits this variation and analyses the determinants of corporate tax reforms and their magnitude from a perspective which is new in two respects. First, we combine logistic panel regression and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) analysis allowing for an integration of qualitative assessments of tax reforms in the QCA analysis. This adds to the existing studies on tax reform which almost exclusively rely on regression techniques. Second, we focus on the time period 1998–2011 where we expect tax competition to be especially intense. The results of our analyses confirm the major impact of tax competition on national corporate tax policies. This relationship dominates the regression analyses as well as the fsQCA. Furthermore, our findings allow nuancing the existing results on the influence of institutional constraints and partisan politics.
虽然近年来许多欧盟国家都降低了公司税,但12个最古老的欧盟成员国之间仍然存在很大差异。这篇文章重新审视了这种变化,并从两个方面的新视角分析了公司税改革的决定因素及其幅度。首先,我们结合了逻辑面板回归和模糊集定性比较分析(fsQCA)分析,允许在QCA分析中整合税收改革的定性评估。这增加了现有的几乎完全依赖回归技术的税收改革研究。其次,我们关注1998年至2011年这段时间,我们预计这段时间的税收竞争将特别激烈。我们的分析结果证实了税收竞争对国家企业税收政策的主要影响。这种关系在回归分析和fsQCA中占主导地位。此外,我们的研究结果允许对制度约束和党派政治影响的现有结果进行微调。

The Four Anchors Model – Women Political Participation 四主播模式——女性参政
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2016-11-01 DOI: 10.1515/wps-2016-0007

Abstract This paper examines the causes of the increase in the number of women candidates in local Israeli government elections during October 2013. To do so, it develops a new model called the four anchors model based on (1) authentic leadership, (2) organizations with gender awareness, (3) practices that provide organized training for women only and (4) networking for women. Establishment of each one of the anchors with synergy among all four of them will encourage more women to be active in political life at the local level. The research combines mixed research methods based on seven different information sources such as questionnaires, interviews, content analysis of newsletters from the Local Councilwomen’s Union, observations and informal talks with women council members.
本文探讨了2013年10月以色列地方政府选举中女性候选人数量增加的原因。为此,它开发了一种名为“四锚”的新模型,该模型基于(1)真实的领导力,(2)具有性别意识的组织,(3)仅为女性提供有组织培训的实践,以及(4)女性网络。在所有四个主播之间建立起协同作用的每一个主播将鼓励更多的妇女积极参与地方一级的政治生活。该研究结合了基于七种不同信息来源的混合研究方法,如问卷调查、访谈、对地方议会妇女联盟通讯的内容分析、观察和与女议员的非正式谈话。

Abstract This article presents the main empirical findings of the analysis of the European Union’s activity for conflict prevention in three case studies – Cyprus, Kosovo and Palestine. After having clarified the meaning of conflict ‘resolution’, ‘prevention’ and ‘Europeanization’, it is proposed a classification of the main foreign policy tools at the disposal of the Union to intervene before the escalation of the conflicts, during and after it. Then, the article focuses on the empirical findings of the Europeanization of the conflicts in the case studies, and therefore not only on the instruments used and on the norms promoted, but also on the mechanisms and the conditions that have enabled or not the Union to exert its leverage.
本文介绍了欧盟在塞浦路斯、科索沃和巴勒斯坦三个案例中预防冲突活动分析的主要实证结果。在澄清了冲突“解决”、“预防”和“欧洲化”的含义之后,提出了一种欧盟在冲突升级之前、期间和之后进行干预的主要外交政策工具的分类。然后,本文将重点放在案例研究中冲突欧洲化的实证研究结果上,因此不仅关注所使用的工具和所促进的规范,而且还关注使联盟能够或不能够发挥其影响力的机制和条件。

How are Voters Influenced by Opinion Polls? The Effect of Polls on Voting Behavior and Party Sympathy 民调如何影响选民?民意调查对投票行为和政党同情的影响
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2016-11-01 DOI: 10.1515/wps-2016-0012

Abstract Similar to all other types of information, public opinion polls can influence public opinion. We present two hypotheses to understand how polls affect public opinion: the bandwagon and the underdog effect. The bandwagon effect claims that voters “jump on the bandwagon,” which means that if a party is gaining in the polls, the party will gain additional support from the voters, and vice versa if the party is losing in the polls. The underdog effect suggests that if a party is losing in the polls, the party will gain some sympathy votes to offset this loss. We use a survey experiment to test the two hypotheses. We find evidence of the bandwagon effect, and the effect is strongest in the positive direction. When voters learn that a party is gaining in the polls, voters will be more likely to vote for it. There is also some evidence for the negative bandwagon effect. We find no evidence for the underdog effect. The effects head in the same direction regardless of the size of the party. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings with regards to a potential ban on publishing opinion polls.
与所有其他类型的信息一样,民意调查可以影响公众舆论。我们提出了两个假设来理解民意调查是如何影响公众意见的:从众效应和弱势效应。“从众效应”指的是选民“随波逐流”,即在民意调查中支持率较高的政党会获得更多的选民支持,而在民意调查中支持率较低的政党则会获得更多的选民支持。失败者效应指的是,如果一个政党在民意调查中失利,它将获得一些同情票来弥补这一损失。我们使用调查实验来检验这两个假设。我们发现了从众效应的证据,这种效应在积极的方向上是最强的。当选民得知一个政党在民意调查中获胜时,选民将更有可能投票给它。也有一些证据表明消极的从众效应。我们没有发现弱者效应的证据。无论团队规模大小,效果都朝着相同的方向前进。最后,我们讨论了我们的研究结果对可能禁止发表民意调查的影响。

Central European MEPs and Their Roles: Behavioral Strategies in the European Parliament 中欧欧洲议会议员及其角色:欧洲议会的行为策略
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2016-04-01 DOI: 10.1515/wps-2016-0004

Abstract This article helps to better understand the role orientations of the Central European Members of the European Parliament, the factors that influence their strategies, and the relationship between their roles and activities. Based on the results of a quantitative survey research with MEPs from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia in the 2009–2014 term, I argue that it is possible to explain the political roles of MEPs by their attitudes towards politics and policy, and the territorial focus of representation (European vs. national level). Due to the internal mechanisms of the EP and its position in the multi-level governance system of European politics, these two dimensions represent dilemmas that all MEPs face, when it comes to the efficient use of their scarce resources: time and energy. This study demonstrates that socio-demographic factors, attitudes and political socialization all have an influence on what roles MEPs choose. The time spent in the EP, age, previous political experience, party affiliation, left-right self-definition and career ambitions are all important factors that can explain the political behavior of MEPs. The Central European MEPs’ focus on politics vs. policy and the European vs. national political arena have different roots, and different variables explain them. Orientation towards politics and policy largely depends on previous political experience and future career ambitions. Focus on the European or the national level is best explained by age, party affiliation and left-right self-definition.
本文有助于更好地了解欧洲议会中欧成员的角色定位,影响其战略的因素,以及他们的角色与活动之间的关系。基于对来自捷克共和国、匈牙利、波兰、斯洛伐克和斯洛文尼亚的欧洲议会议员在2009-2014年任期内的定量调查研究结果,我认为可以通过他们对政治和政策的态度以及代表的地域焦点(欧洲与国家层面)来解释欧洲议会议员的政治角色。由于欧洲议会的内部机制及其在欧洲政治多层次治理体系中的地位,这两个维度代表了所有欧洲议会议员在有效利用其稀缺资源(时间和精力)时所面临的困境。本研究表明,社会人口因素、态度和政治社会化都对议员角色选择有影响。在欧洲议会任职的时间、年龄、以往的政治经历、党派关系、左右自我定义和职业抱负都是解释欧洲议会议员政治行为的重要因素。中欧议会议员对政治与政策、欧洲与国家政治舞台的关注有着不同的根源,不同的变量可以解释它们。对政治和政策的倾向在很大程度上取决于以前的政治经验和未来的职业抱负。对欧洲或国家层面的关注最好用年龄、党派关系和左右自我定义来解释。

Human Rights, Institutions and the Division of Moral Labor 人权、制度与道德分工
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2016-04-01 DOI: 10.1515/wps-2016-0002
B. Ladwig
Abstract Are human rights general moral norms, or are they conceptually tied to the political function of setting limits to the sovereignty of states? This essay steers a middle course in conceptualizing human rights as basic norms of political morality. Human rights arise out of general moral claims held by individual human beings simply as such, but they play a particular role as necessary conditions of political legitimacy. Nevertheless, we should not identify them with those norms whose violation might justify restrictions on the sovereignty of other states. Such an equation would result in an all too minimalist conception of human rights. The essay advocates a more ambitious conception that integrates civil rights and human rights, particular state and global politics, democracy and collective self-determination under the perspective of a division of moral labor.
人权是一般的道德规范,还是在概念上与限制国家主权的政治功能联系在一起?本文在将人权概念化为政治道德的基本规范方面走了一条中间路线。人权产生于个人所持有的一般道德要求,但作为政治合法性的必要条件,它们发挥着特殊的作用。然而,我们不应将它们与违反这些准则可能成为限制其他国家主权的理由的准则等同起来。这样的等式将导致对人权的概念过于狭隘。本文主张在道德分工的视角下,将公民权利与人权、特定国家与全球政治、民主与集体自决结合起来,形成一个更为宏大的概念。

A Comparison of the Economic Growth of the Baltic States between the Two World Wars 两次世界大战期间波罗的海国家经济增长比较

Abstract This paper contributes to cliometric research on the economic output of Finland, Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia between 1913 and 1938. For Finland, gross domestic product (GDP) values from Maddison project dataset are accepted. For Estonia, Arno Köörna’s and Jaak Valge’s estimates are endorsed with reservations for 1923–1924. According to an optimistic estimate, Lithuania’s GDP per capita was below all-Russian mean in 1913, but was not less than USSR level in 1938, while Gediminas Vaskela’s pessimistic estimate of the 1938 Lithuanian GDP implies its GDP growth underperformance. Using new sources, the first estimates of Latvia’s output for the 1913–1938 period in cross-country and cross-temporally comparable measurement units (1990 Geary Khamis international $) are substantiated. Under optimistic estimates of Lithuanian GDP growth, this country was on par with Finland in terms of annual growth rates, with Latvia following next and Estonia displaying the weakest growth performance.
本文对芬兰、爱沙尼亚、立陶宛和拉脱维亚在1913年至1938年间的经济产出进行了计量研究。对于芬兰,接受麦迪森项目数据集的国内生产总值(GDP)值。对于爱沙尼亚,Arno Köörna和Jaak Valge的估计数得到赞同,但保留1923-1924年的估计数。根据乐观估计,立陶宛的人均GDP在1913年低于全俄平均水平,但不低于1938年的苏联水平,而Gediminas Vaskela对1938年立陶宛GDP的悲观估计意味着其GDP增长表现不佳。利用新的资料来源,证实了拉脱维亚1913-1938年期间以跨国家和跨时间可比较的计量单位(1990年Geary Khamis国际美元)的第一次产出估计数。根据对立陶宛GDP增长的乐观估计,该国的年增长率与芬兰相当,拉脱维亚紧随其后,爱沙尼亚的增长表现最弱。

Signaling Legitimacy: Self-legitimation by the G8 and the G20 in Times of Competitive Multilateralism 发出合法性信号:竞争多边主义时代八国集团和二十国集团的自我合法化
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2016-04-01 DOI: 10.1515/wps-2016-0005

Abstract Given our pluralistic world today, the G8 or rather G7, is an anachronism. How has the club of Western nations managed to prevail over its four decades of existence? This question is even more relevant in the light of the rise of the G20 at the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008. By making use of the concept of self-legitimation, this paper seeks to gain a better understanding of how both informal institutions ended up in a state of coexistence rather than with the replacement of the G8 by the G20. The main argument is that both needed (and still need) to carefully position themselves as distinct from each other in order to prevail and to inspire adherence. By including visual data and examining two informal institutions rather than formalized international organizations, the analysis complements concurrent research on the legitimation efforts of international institutions. The article traces three modes of public self-legitimation: legitimation policies, legitimation talk and nonverbal self-presentation. Based on textual analysis and a reconstruction of ideal-typical summit photographs (1975–2013), this contribution shows how both institutions present themselves as inclusive, accountable managers for the benefit of all. Despite these similarities, a normative as well as a de facto division of labor makes it more likely for today’s G7 to prevail, even in – or even because of – today’s more pluralistic world.
鉴于我们今天的多元化世界,八国集团或更确切地说,七国集团是一个时代的错误。西方国家俱乐部是如何在其存在的四十年中取得胜利的?考虑到G20在2008年金融危机之初的崛起,这个问题就显得更为重要了。通过利用自我合法化的概念,本文试图更好地理解这两个非正式机构如何最终处于共存状态,而不是以G20取代G8。主要的论点是,双方都需要(并且仍然需要)谨慎地将自己定位为彼此不同,以便获胜并激发人们的坚持。通过纳入可视化数据和考察两个非正式机构而不是正式的国际组织,该分析补充了同时进行的关于国际机构合法化努力的研究。本文探讨了公共自我正当化的三种模式:正当化政策、正当化谈话和非语言自我呈现。基于文本分析和对理想的典型峰会照片(1975-2013)的重建,这篇文章展示了这两个机构如何将自己呈现为包容的、负责任的管理者,以造福所有人。尽管有这些相似之处,规范的和事实上的劳动分工使得今天的七国集团更有可能占上风,即使是在今天更加多元化的世界里——或者甚至正是因为这个世界。

Abstract In this paper, the authors analyse the institutional aspects of local governance. After the local government reforms, two main currents of change were created among European countries, namely the (quasi-) parliamentarisation administration systems committees, and (quasi-) presidentialisation through the form of elected mayors. Through an overview of the changes in the Slovenian local self-government in the last two decades, the authors determine a gradual transition from parliamentarism (with a relatively strong legislative body, municipal council) to the strengthening of the individual executive body (mayor), e.g. presidentialisation. By using the calculated index of mayoral strength, the authors conclude that according to the mayoral institutional power, the Slovenian system of local self-government is closer to the countries with (post) Napoleonic administrative tradition than to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.
摘要本文分析了地方治理的制度层面。在地方政府改革之后,欧洲国家出现了两股主要的变革潮流,即(准)议会制行政制度委员会和(准)总统选举形式的市长。通过对斯洛文尼亚地方自治在过去二十年中的变化的概述,作者确定了从议会制(具有相对强大的立法机构,市议会)到加强个人执行机构(市长)的逐步过渡,例如总统制。通过计算得出的市长权力指数,作者得出结论,根据市长制度权力,斯洛文尼亚的地方自治制度更接近(后)拿破仑行政传统的国家,而不是中欧和东欧国家。

The Controversy over Religious Arbitration Tribunals in Ontario: Unspoken Identity-Based Justifications? 安大略省宗教仲裁法庭之争:基于身份的未言明辩护?

Abstract This article deals with the 2002–2005 controversy over faith-based arbitration tribunals in Ontario. It seeks to contribute to the existing literature on the question by looking at new empirical sources. The analysis focuses specifically on the public discourse of social actors who opposed the creation of arbitration tribunals for Christians, Jews and Muslims. The majority of those who opposed arbitration tribunals did not formulate their position in terms of an opposition between religion and feminist values. Rather, they focused their arguments on the danger of Islam, which they perceived as an oppressive and alien religion. The controversy over religious arbitration becomes a way to claim a Western, secular and Judeo-Christian Canadian identity. From this perspective, the Ontarian controversy can be likened to European debates on Islam that have emerged over the last decade (e.g. caricatures of Muhammad in Denmark, minarets in Switzerland and the burqa ban in Belgium).
摘要本文探讨了2002-2005年安大略省基于信仰的仲裁法庭的争议。它试图通过观察新的经验来源,对现有的关于这个问题的文献做出贡献。分析特别侧重于反对为基督徒、犹太人和穆斯林设立仲裁法庭的社会行动者的公开话语。大多数反对仲裁法庭的人并没有从宗教和女权主义价值观的对立角度来阐述他们的立场。相反,他们的论点集中在伊斯兰教的危险上,他们认为伊斯兰教是一种压迫性的外来宗教。关于宗教仲裁的争议成为一种主张西方、世俗和犹太-基督教加拿大身份的方式。从这个角度来看,安大略的争议可以比作欧洲在过去十年中出现的关于伊斯兰教的辩论(例如丹麦的穆罕默德漫画,瑞士的宣礼塔和比利时的布卡禁令)。
