| Summary/Abstract |
The electoral process is one of the many features of modern Iran, including the administrative structure, that were introduced in the early twentieth century and have survived both Pahlavi rule and the 1979 revolution. Despite regular parliamentary elections being held during Pahlavi rule, these were primarily symbolic exercises with limited political consequence and societal involvement.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article discusses Taiwan's first combined national elections, held in 2012. Though the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), the largest opposition party, fared much better in the Legislative Yuan elections than in 2008, DPP presidential contender Tsai Ying-wen's clear defeat at the hands of the Kuomintang incumbent, Ma Ying-jeou in the presidential race came as a surprise. The article examines the election campaigns of both Tsai and Ma, summarizes the election results, and analyzes the reasons why the DPP failed to retake the presidency. It then discusses the postelection developments in the DDP and ponders what can be expected from the second Ma administration.

| Summary/Abstract |
The American policy landscape during the George W. Bush administration was shaped by a series of traumatic events that confronted the nation and people of the United States. These included the terrorist attacks of 9/11 in 2001, the anthrax attacks in the fall of 2001, military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the threat of a flu pandemic in 2005 and 2006, the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, and the financial collapse of 2008. The results of the 2008 presidential election appear to be a rejection of the Bush administration's major policy responses to these events, but the variation in type and level of public support among different groups suggests a much more varied and dynamic portrait of America in turbulent times. Using a multiyear panel survey, an interdisciplinary team of political scientists and psychologists analyzed the behavior and political responses to the events by the American public. The findings suggest that even seven years after the events of 11 September 2001, people with higher levels of post-traumatic stress symptomatology related to 9/11 have significantly different interpretations of the threat of terrorism and the appropriate policy responses to it than do others. Perceptions of threat, the political salience of terrorism and other traumatic events, the level of support for political leaders and assessments of the government's actions vary over time and across different groups within society based on the psychological, political and social, and personal characteristics of the respondent. These results help to open the black box of aggregate public opinion by providing a detailed portrait of how psychological, social, political, and personal factors affected perceptions and political behavior during the George W. Bush administration.
