Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed and comprehensive method to establish similarities and dissimilarities in a systematic and at all stages transparent way is proposed for the analysis of the conditions of survival or breakdown of democratic systems in the inter-war period in Europe.
Abstract: Comparative political analysis at the macro-level of political systems can reduce the inevitably high complexity of such comparisons by the systematic matching or contrasting of cases, depending on the particular problem. Such 'most similar systems' or 'most different systems' designs, in Przeworski & Teune's terminology, thus constitute one of the major ways out of the usual 'small N - many variables' dilemma. This paper proposes a detailed and comprehensive method to establish such similarities and dissimilarities in a systematic and at all stages transparent way. The examples chosen refer to an analysis of the conditions of survival or breakdown of democratic systems in the inter-war period in Europe.

TL;DR: The economic case for the effectiveness of open, collaborative research and the forces behind the recent, countervailing rush to strengthen and expand the scope of intellectual property rights protection is discussed in this article.
Abstract: The paper sets out the economic case for the effectiveness of open, collaborative research, and the forces behind the recent, countervailing rush to strengthen and expand the scope of intellectual property rights protection. Focusing upon innovations in copyright law and the sui generis protection of hitherto unprotected content, it documents the genesis and analyzes the economic implications of the EC's Database Directive, and related legislative proposals (H.R. 3125, H.R. 354 and H.R. 1858) in the US. The discussion concludes by advancing a number of modest remedial proposals that are intended to promoted greater efforts to arrive at satisfactory policy solutions for this aspect of "the digital dilemma".
