Hegemons Of A Lesser God: The Bank Of France And Monetary Leadership Under The Classical Gold Standard, Giulio M. Gallarotti Oct 2005

Hegemons Of A Lesser God: The Bank Of France And Monetary Leadership Under The Classical Gold Standard, Giulio M. Gallarotti

Giulio M Gallarotti

Conventional theories of international hegemony all agree on the fact that the stabilizing functions of hegemons (i.e., nations which use their power to maintain orderly relations in a given issue-area) are positively correlated with their power. The public goods logic upon which this vision is founded posits that as any potential leader becomes more powerful in a given issue area, it will increasingly see its own welfare as synonymous with order in the entire constellation of relations within the issue area itself, and consequently have an incentive to provide the necessary public goods (i.e., the components of stability) to bring …


Weak Correlations Between Local Density And Dynamics Near The Glass Transition, J. Conrad, Francis Starr, D. Weitz Jan 2005

Weak Correlations Between Local Density And Dynamics Near The Glass Transition, J. Conrad, Francis Starr, D. Weitz

Francis Starr

We perform experiments on two different dense colloidal suspensions with confocal microscopy to probe the relationship between local structure and dynamics near the glass transition. We calculate the Voronoi volume for our particles and show that this quantity is not a universal probe of glassy structure for all colloidal suspensions. We correlate the Voronoi volume to displacement and find that these quantities are only weakly correlated. We observe qualitatively similar results in a simulation of a polymer melt. These results suggest that the Voronoi volume does not predict dynamical behavior in experimental colloidal suspensions; a purely structural approach based on …
