Corruption and support for economic reform in sub-Saharan Africa

Corruption and support for economic reform in sub-Saharan Africa
(2019)
Breen, Michael; Gillanders, Robert; Mahmalat, Mounir
Abstract:
We explore the relationship between experiences of corruption and support for economic reform in sub-Saharan Africa. We find that the relationship varies across three rounds of the Afrobarometer survey. Examining each round separately, we find that in the first round the local intensity of bribery is correlated with support for reform. In the second round an individual’s own experience of bribery matters, while in the third round neither variable is important. Estimating our model on pooled data suggests that an individual’s own experience of corruption is associated with less support for reform on average. However, we present evidence that this association is only present in the second round. These findings point to a changing relationship which may reflect rapid development in the region, including economic growth, inward investment, and the diffusion of technology. Our key contribution is to demonstrate that policy recommendations based on an analysis of one round of data or pool...

Political trust, corruption, and ratings of the IMF and the world bank

Political trust, corruption, and ratings of the IMF and the world bank
(2015)
Breen, Michael; Gillanders, Robert
Abstract:
There are only a handful of studies that examine public support for the IMF and World Bank. Public opinion data on attitudes to the economy feature prominently in these studies. Utilizing data from the Afrobarometer survey, we find that evaluations of the economy, ideology and a range of socio-demographic factors including age, gender, employment status, health, education, and living conditions are not significantly related to ratings of effectiveness. Rather, we find that political trust and corruption—two very important concepts in the wider literature on individual level attitudes toward international relations and foreign policy issues—are strongly associated with ratings of effectiveness.

Stretching the IR theoretical spectrum on Irish neutrality: a critical social constructivist framework

Stretching the IR theoretical spectrum on Irish neutrality: a critical social constructivist framework
(2008)
Devine, Karen
Abstract:
In a 2006 International Political Science Review article, entitled "Choosing to Go It Alone: Irish Neutrality in Theoretical and Comparative Perspective," Neal G. Jesse argues that Irish neutrality is best understood through a neoliberal rather than a neorealist international relations theory framework. This article posits an alternative "critical social constructivist" framework for understanding Irish neutrality. The first part of the article considers the differences between neoliberalism and social constructivism and argues why critical social constructivism's emphasis on beliefs, identity, and the agency of the public in foreign policy are key factors explaining Irish neutrality today. Using public opinion data, the second part of the article tests whether national identity, independence, ethnocentrism, attitudes to Northern Ireland, and efficacy are factors driving public support for Irish neutrality. The results show that public attitudes to Irish neu...
