Theodore Roosevelt is well known as an imperialist. The common understanding is both too weak and too strong. Too weak, because Roosevelt idealized an imperialism that could last forever in civilizing savages. Too strong, because Roosevelt prepared the American-occupied Philippines for independence within a generation. This article analyzes Roosevelt's philosophy of self-government and reinterprets his Philippines policy in light of the philosophy. Roosevelt emerges as a reluctant anti-imperialist-an imperialist by desire but an anti-imperialist in governance. His imperialist ambitions were thwarted by America's ideals of self-government and its democratic political system, channeled through the powers of Congress and the process of regular elections. At a crest of imperial opportunity,...

This study examines the cause of the Melamine Scandal, a major food safety crisis that took place in China in 2008. Drawing upon game theory, it focuses on the interplay between two major stakeholders in the process of enforcement of food safety regulations-the regulatory agency of the government, and the public, which consumes manufactured or processed food products. The authors found that the Melamine Scandal was a symptom of malfunctioning of the mechanism of food safety controls in China. The reason for the lack of efficient regulations was that the compensation structure failed to provide the regulators enough incentive to perform their duty.
