Research on state repression generally focuses what states do to populations within their own borders. However, recently scholars working at the intersection of comparative politics and international relations have begun systematically analyse repressing outside borders as part foreign policy. Variously called transnational repression, extraterritorial or sometimes global authoritarianism, focu...

Binding of glucocorticoid to the glucocorticoid receptor (GR/NR3C1) may repress inflammatory gene transcription via direct, protein synthesis-independent processes (transrepression), or by activating transcription (transactivation) of multiple anti-inflammatory/repressive factors. Using human pulmonary A549 cells, we showed that 34 out of 39 IL-1β-inducible mRNAs were repressed to varying degre...

All tumor cell lines that have been tested are defective for Myc auto-repression, and have high levels of Myc produced from wild type loci and re-arranged loci. Like mammalian Myc auto-repression, Myc protein represses the expression of its gene, dmyc, in Drosophila. This activity requires Polycomb (Pc), since RNAi for Pc in the embryo eliminates Myc auto-repression. We have observed that upon ...

China maintains tight controls over its capital account. Its current policy regime also features financial repression, under which banks are required to extend funds state-owned enterprises (SOEs) at favorable terms, despite their lower average productivity than private firms. We incorporate these into a general equilibrium model. Our model illustrates tradeoff between aggregate and inter-tempo...
