| Summary/Abstract |
Why has democratic governance declined, at least in the Anglo-American world? This essay maps the causes. It starts with the major parties, once basic agents of mass mobilisation and representation. It argues that a cascading series of developments, often involving contingent adjustments to immediate exigencies, have, in a longer perspective, created a fundamental gap between the political system and its publics. A second section then sketches paths to democratic renewal. How might this gap be closed? What other changes might be required to make this a reality? Are prospects of change fanciful?

| Summary/Abstract |
This article tests systematically the effect of political structures on the credibility of sovereign debtors in advanced economies. It argues that power-sharing and party system polarization have important effects on long-term interest rates. Where collective responsibility is high and polarization is low, the market perceives a more credible commitment on the part of sovereign debtors. These arguments derived from the theory of credible commitments perform much better than alternative accounts of the politics of sovereign debt, namely a market preference for right-wing governments and more flexible polities. The principal data consist of a panel of 23 rich countries between 1970 and 2009. There are tests for robustness to a wider sample and a variety of different measurements.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article questions a dominant understanding of Palestinian political factions in the refugee camps of Lebanon, which defines them as bounded structures defined by their respective ideologies. By examining the everyday practices of Palestinian refugees vis-à-vis factions, the article demonstrates that Palestinians approached factions through personal encounters with family members, friends or neighbours, rather than on ideological bases. It highlights two main points: Firstly, the central role trust plays in building political relations, particularly when constant war, displacement and discrimination define the quotidian existence of Palestinian refugees. Secondly, it brings to light how Palestinians negotiate their personal engagement with the factions, while publicly opposing them.
