“…These "outside-in" explanations are consistent with the trend toward "open-polity" frameworks to understand the impact of international change upon politics within nations (Alt et al, 1996;Frieden, 1991;Garrett and Lange, 1995;Goodman and Pauly, 1993;Keohane and Milner, 1996;Maxfield, 1990;Milner, 1988;Rogowski, 1989). 3 The primary stimuli motivating political change lies in the global arena beyond the direct control of governments.…”

“…la). Garrett and Lange (1995) adopt an outside-in and economic pluralist approach, but add two important considerations about domestic politics. First, they recognize the role of domestic socioeconomic organizations such as trade unions in overcoming barriers to collective action as domestic preferences shift.…”

“…Governments braked the impact of technology upon international financial dealings. At best such explanations suggest that times have changed to make governments and polities reactive, secondary, to outside-in pressures (Frieden, 1991;Garrett and Lange, 1995;Kapstein, 1989 andMaxfield, 1990;Rogowski, 1989;Rogowski and Frieden, 1996). From these perspectives, states and national political economies behave as price takers that respond to shifts in the global political economy.…”

“…Such international "shocks," however, produce generalized effects that influence economic performance across a broad range of developing countries. To understand cross-national variation in crisis severity and duration, it is essential to examine how domestic political and economic conditions mediate international shocks (Garrett and Lange 1995). In particular, domestic political factors may influence how flexible and decisive governments are in responding to gathering economic storm clouds.…”

Researchers widely recognize that economic crises have important political consequences, yet there is little systematic research on the political factors that make nations more or less susceptible to economic crisis. Scholars have long debated the economic consequences of party systems, executive powers, and societal interest groups, but their relationships to crisis proclivity are poorly understood. We assess the political correlates of economic crisis using a cross-sectional time-series analysis of 17 Latin American countries over nearly three decades. Crises are measured along two dimensions-depth and duration-and disaggregated into three types: inflationary, GDP, and fiscal crises. Statistical results suggest that political institutions have a modest, and often unexpected, correlation with crises. More important than institutional attributes are social organization and the nature of partysociety linkages, particularly the existence of a densely-organized trade union movement and/or a powerful leftist party. Strong unions and powerful parties of the left are associated with more severe economic crises, though there is some evidence that the combination of left-labor strength can alleviate inflationary crises. The results demonstrate the need to disaggregate the concept of economic crisis and incorporate the societal dimension when studying the political economy of crisis and reform.The global financial crisis is only the latest in a long line of economic crises that have wreaked havoc on political and economic institutions in the developing world over recent decades. These crises have been instrumental to the downfall of St Comp Int Dev (2010) 45:383-409

“…Lastly, particular characteristics in domestic political institutions impinge on a state's external policy and relations. The political institutions constitute the filter through which the preferences of various domestic actors are transformed into policies, and their political behaviour responds to opportunities and constraints created by these institutions (Garrett and Lange 1996;Goldstein 1988). Thus, the characteristics in domestic political institutions have a vital influence on determining the formation and pattern of a state's specific external policy.…”

Japan's policy on steel trade disputes with the United States: a comparative analysis

This article examines interactions among the United States, Japan and the European Union over steel trade disputes with particular interest in Japan's reactions to the disputes. For this objective, this paper establishes an analytical framework that takes into account bilateral, international, and domestic factors in formulating a state's external policy and relations. It was found that the special relationship with the United States still impinged on Japan's reactions to steel trade disputes, but its influence has gradually declined. Moreover, growing familiarity with World Trade Organization (WTO) rules and practices and collaboration with other countries enabled Tokyo to expand its policy options to handle steel trade conflicts with Washington. Significantly, Japan formally adopted seemingly bold measures to cope with the US steel safeguard action, but the measures' substantial influence on the US government was limited compared with those adopted by the European Union. Weak policy coordination among ministries prevented Japan from formulating strategic and effective measures in managing steel trade disputes with the United States.
