Capitol Advantage: The Market Impact of Congressional Insider Trading
Embedded Files
This research project examines how congressional insider trading and lawmakers’ access to nonpublic information can create market advantages, influence investor behavior, and expose weaknesses within the STOCK Act. It proposes requiring members of Congress to place their financial assets into independently managed blind trusts, drawing on international models such as Canada’s Conflict of Interest Act to strengthen market integrity, accountability, and public trust.

From Protest to Participation: The Transformation of Nonviolent Activism In Japan’s Lost Decade
From Protest to Participation: The Transformation of Nonviolent Activism In Japan’s Lost Decade
This research project examines why large-scale protest declined in Japan during the Lost Decade of the 1990s, arguing that political activism transformed rather than disappeared. It explores how institutional constraints, the decline of student movements, cultural and generational changes, and movements such as Minamata shifted Japanese activism toward more localized, nonviolent, and socially embedded forms of political participation.
