... In theory, election results should both promote transparency and protect privacy. Transparent, or granular, election results can promote confidence by helping to detect or deter electoral manipulation (4)(5)(6)(7)(8). Further, privacy, in the form of a secret ballot, can also reduce the market for vote buying and voter intimidation (9,10). ...

... Additionally, Bhutan and Nepal's landlocked status adds complexity to their economic conditions. developing countries globally face numerous obstacles to sustainable economic growth, including infrastructure deficiencies and various institutional, political, economic, geographical and cultural barriers (World Bank, 2014;Moore, 2018;George et al., 2022;Kronick & rodríguez, 2023). these challenges necessitate innovative solutions and strong partnerships. ...

... My research cannot deal with this question because of data availability. However, it is crucial to note that the association between far-left and threats to democracy can be more ambiguous (Hawkins, 2016;Kronick, Plunkett, and Rodriguez, 2023). It is because the far-left authoritarians challenged the exclusiveness of parliamentary democracy in imposing neoliberal reforms. ...

... Despite global efforts to transition to alternative energy, Thailand's oil consumption remained substantial at 1,277,000 barrels per day in December 2022, contributing to pollution and environmental harm [3,4]. Heavy dependence on oil has geopolitical and economic implications, fueling conflicts over resources and impacting energy costs and economic stability [5,6]. hazardous environments with low complexity and adaptability to different scenarios [18]. ...

... In the report it is argued that "the changes in the TREP [quick count] trend were hard to explain and did not match the other measurements available" (OAS, 2019b: 3). However, reports elaborated afterward by Long et al. (2019) and another report written by Idrobo et al. (2022) showed that there was no real evidence of fraud in the elections. The Bolivian election was a crossroad in the weaking of the OAS as promoter and protector of democracy. ...

... In contrast, if an intervention consistently and permanently puts officers into more positive contact with groups while working (e.g., a community policing approach), this could have a corrective effect on officers' beliefs that persists, and even magnifies, over time as officers adjust their other work (and potentially social) behavior. That said, even though our model suggests long-term interventions can yield this particular benefit, we emphasize that there still may be downsides to such interventions, especially if they do not have wide-spread support within policed populations (Blair et al., 2021). ...

... Importantly, my findings suggest that even where moral norms of engagement and general awareness of the problem exist, these may not be enough to spur participation when people do not expect their neighbors to join the activity. Thus, in line with some other recent work, my findings suggest that social pressure from neighbors may increase participation in collective action only in contexts where descriptive norms of engagement are already entrenched in society [2,34] or when individuals share social ties with activists [35]. Moreover, some earlier work shows that descriptive voting norms are more strongly correlated with the voting behavior of the poor than the wealthy [14]. ...

Tanto la no consideración de los alimentos como utilities o mercancías como otras cualquiera (Vivero-Pol, 2017;McGreevy et al., 2022) como el desperdicio de alimentos fruto de estilos de vida acelerados que rompen con los ciclos propios de la naturaleza (UNEP, 2021; Hidalgo y Martín-Marroquín, 2020). 3) Hay una dimensión política innegable ejemplificada en los lobbies del sector primario (Desiderio et al., 2024;Gulotty y Kronick, 2022), así como en prácticas monopolísticas de empresas multinacionales (Monsanto es quizá de los más conocidos) que ejercen un gran poder de mercado y de manipulación (Seralini y Douzelet, 2021;Corti, 2021). 4) Desde la dimensión medioambiental, se plantean temas como el uso de pesticidas y agroquímicos frente a sistemas más orgánicos, ecológicos o naturales, no exentos de un análisis técnico y agroforestal en profundidad. ...

... He demonstrates this with relatively subtle hypothetical democratic transgressions by U.S. Senators: barring some newspapers from attending a press meeting, promising quid pro quo to an interest group, making false statements in a campaign ad. Similarly, Grossman et al. (2022) show that people with majoritarian conceptions of democracy think that actions taken by a democratically elected leader are, by definition, democratic through an experiment about an outgoing governor attempting to make norm-violating judicial appointments. Wunsch, Jacob, and Derksen (2025) illustrate that people with illiberal understandings of democracy are more likely to support candidates with illiberal attitudes on judicial appointments and the role of the media. ...
