Decisions to invest abroad depend on a complex set of factors, but the least corrupt countries may attract more foreign direct investment because they provide a more favorable climate for investors. In this paper we investigate the impact of corruption on FDI inflows in 73 countries, over the period 1998-2008. Our results suggest that countries where corruption is lower, the FDI inflows are greater, and so controlling corruption may be an important strategy for increase FDI inflows.","PeriodicalId":31188,"journal":{"name":"Politica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71092040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They represent different political aspirations, but all of them relied heavily on the Internet to communicate and organise. This research analyses two specific contentious processes - the UK student protests and the Chilean environmentalist protests in 2010 - to assess the effect that the Internet may have had on the protesters' perception of democracy. Through data gathered from online surveys, interviews, and the Oxford Internet Survey 2009, this article observes the effect of the Internet in two dimensions: support for democracy, and the protesters' conception of democracy. Preliminary results show that Internet use is related to a more horizontal conception of democracy, and that more analyses are required to test whether that association is caused by the Internet or a utopian discourse about it.","PeriodicalId":31188,"journal":{"name":"Politica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71092331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A pesar de constituir un legado clave de los regímenes autoritarios y sobrevivientes a las transiciones democráticas en América Latina, los Regímenes de Excepción han sido rara vez estudiados por los cientistas políticos. Centrándonos en el caso de Bolivia, la investigación se basa tanto en las leyes relevantes como en 65 decretos presidenciales, que son analizados mediante el método del análisis de contenido. Como resultado, se demuestra que para Bolivia, tanto el marco legal y el uso político de los Regímenes de Excepción se han transformado desde un mecanismo puramente represivo hacia uno más administrativo. El estudio contiene importantes implicancias sobre cómo los Regímenes de Excepción son conceptualizados desde un punto de vista teórico así como también para el entendimiento de la naturaleza de la política de emergencia de años recientes en democracias frágiles","PeriodicalId":31188,"journal":{"name":"Politica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71092394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, by maintaining the basic aspect of the binominal formula, this reform does not alter the conditions under which the current legislators were elected as such.

The capacity to manifest a man's popularity or a cause iscommonly contributed to this very conception. Moods are thereby deduced from the observation of behaviours or individual beliefs, assuming that acclamation is equivalent to an act of adherence. The author's demonstration isthe following: 1) to show the reasons for the astonishing social effectiveness ofthis conception; and 2) to indicate that expert interpretations should not abusively reduce the act of acclamation to the mere exercise of an act of will, which debatably derives the existence of public moods from the observation of the participants' behaviour in a multitudinal concentration.
