Qui regit: electorates, producer groups, and change in Advanced Capitalist Democracies by Benoit, C, Vlandas, T

“…In this article, we suggest that the various answers to this question in the field of Comparative Political Economy (CPE) are essentially linked to two main approaches. The first approach emphasizes the role of electorates and political parties, their transformations, and their competition in shaping the evolution of ACDs. …”

Profiting from prestige: the political economy of mega-events in Azerbaijan by Laporte, J

“…Since gaining independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, hydrocarbon exports have formed the backbone of the country’s economy and the main source of rents for ruling elites. Focusing on the development of Azerbaijan’s events industry in the 2000s and 2010s, the article uses available evidence and process tracing techniques to develop the hypothesis that Azerbaijan’s elites sought out hosting rights, at least in part, to diversify their sources of private rents. …”

Materials for quantum technologies: a roadmap for spin and topology by Banerjee, N, Bell, C, Ciccarelli, C, Hesjedal, T, Johnson, F, Kurebayashi, H, Moore, TA, Moutafis, C, Stern, HL, Vera-Marun, IJ, Wade, J, Barton, C, Connolly, MR, Curson, NJ, Fallon, K, Fisher, AJ, Gangloff, DA, Griggs, W, Linfield, E, Marrows, CH, Rossi, A, Schindler, F, Smith, J, Thomson, T, Kazakova, O

“…Spin and topology-based quantum technologies have several advantages over their classical, charged-based counterparts, including non-volatility, faster data processing speeds, higher integration densities and lower power consumption. We discuss the main challenges facing the field, identify strategies to overcome them, and provide a realistic outlook on future possibilities of spin-based and topological materials in quantum technology applications. …”

Gamson going global? Cabinet proportionality in comparative perspective by Chaisty, P, Power, T

“…Using a sample of 1551 country-years of coalitional government in 97 countries from 1966 to 2019, and comparing all main constitutional formats (parliamentary, presidential, and semi-presidential), we find that Gamson’s Law does not travel well outside its context of origin. …”

Apple's iPad City: subcontracting exploitation to China by Chan, J, Ngai, P, Selden, M

“…Violations of factory workers’ fundamental rights in export-oriented industry nevertheless remain intractable, prompting scholars and practitioners in corporate responsibility to promote the leverage of private and public power to create ‘just supply chains’ (Locke 2013; Mayer and Gereffi 2010; Boston Review 2013). The main effort of public–private partnerships is to call on a shared commitment of the national governments, transnational corporations and non-governmental labour organizations to better protect workers.…”

Bayesian image super-resolution, continued by Pickup, LC, Capel, DP, Roberts, SJ, Zisserman, A

“…By inte- grating over the registration parameters rather than the high-resolution image, our method allows for more realistic prior distributions, and also reduces the dimen- sion of the integral considerably, removing the main computational bottleneck of the other algorithm. …”
