NEW IPSR ISSUE FEATURING ARTICLES
ON POLITICAL CONSUMERISM
 
The latest issue of the International Political Science Review for January 2022 (Volume 43, Number 1) features a collection of articles on political consumerism, which refers to the deliberate purchase or avoidance of products, goods, or services for political reasons. The issue opens with Lauren Copeland and Shelley Boulianne’s article Political consumerism: A meta-analysis. The authors explore why some people are more likely to engage in political consumerism. The issue also includes articles on welfare-state politics, the process of policy-making, and market constraints on politics in Europe.

1. Published on 10 January 2022, the Crypto Theses for 2022 Report presents a comprehensive overview of the coming year’s blockchain and associated technologies, such as web3, DAOs, decentralized storage, or crypto technology. The 165-page Massari report, authored by Ryan Selkis, offers key trends, people, companies, and projects to watch for across the crypto landscape, with predictions for 2022, and it helps clarify concepts such as flippening, the use of RabbitHole for learning, the evolution of owned media, and so much more (Special Collections on the IPSAPortal).
 
2. Continued developments in blockchain and cryptocurrencies are fuelling interest in non-fungible tokens or NFTs. According to The Guardian, NFTs have become a sensation in the part of the art world controlled by big auction houses. Still, according to a recent report from Visa, designed to help visas enter this new commerce arena, they represent unprecedented opportunities for engaging fans in the world of sports and entertainment and creating potential new revenue streams for organizations. The Financial Times reports that Meta, formerly Facebook, is the first non-crypto company to integrate an NFT marketplace. Meanwhile, think tanks like RUSI are questioning links between NFTs and money laundering (Special Collections on the IPSAPortal).
 
3. Massive political donations from major technology companies are and will remain a topic of public interest. The Facebook website explains how public policy decisions can have significant implications for their users and the company’s future direction, and it details their support to campaigns either through their PAC or direct contributions. Similar data is available from the Federal Election Commission. Forbes reports that top Facebook executives donated $3.9 million in 2021, and many PAC contributions help elect lawmakers overseeing the company (Data Banks on the IPSAPortal).
