TL;DR: Kaelberer et al. as discussed by the authors used panel data and interviews to investigate the role of the "democratic advantage" and other determinants on bond ratings set by Moody's Investor Services, Standard and Poor's, and Fitch Ratings for fifty developing countries from 1987 to 2003.

TL;DR: The authors assesses the prioritization of active learning in "gateway" political science courses, paying specific attention to simulations, structured debates, and the case method, and find that active learning prioritization is surprisingly low, the dimensions on which it varies suggest opportunities for adoption across subfields and classes of varying size.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the fair trade movement, discuss its history, its impressive growth and the ethical and social agenda it promotes, and argue that IPE theories need to consider classical political economy works which reveal many valuable insights regarding moral and/or ethical concerns.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the role of land protection policies such as creating and preserving national parks to counter global threats to the environment and to conserve biodiversity, however, they know little about these policies.

TL;DR: This article used panel data for fifty developing countries from 1987 to 2004 to investigate the effect of political determinants for predicting economic crises, finding that most political variables appear to have little influence in forecasting defaults or currency crises, models specified with bond ratings from the credit rating agencies can be helpful for predicting the onset of crisis.
