Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Buchanan (1987) identifies Politics as Exchange as one of the key pillars of research program. Viewing politics through the lens of exchange focuses attention on what sorts of political bargains individuals and organized groups find both to their advantage and feasible. Politics as Exchange locates differences between policies in the different rules that condition and result from these bargains. This essay contrasts the Politics as Exchange approach with the recent literature on state capacity, which typically embodies a view that we dub Politics as Administration. While these two points of view are not mutually exclusive, we argue that Politics as Exchange may be more effective in explaining important changes in political economic systems. We illustrate the relationship between the two by examining the evolution of the Byzantine Empire during and after the reign of Basil II.
