    Description: A democratic regime is assumed to implement freedom and equality as the two critical and most important values. The question we intend to address here is: how and why has the actual implementation of freedom and equality been changing in the 1990–2020 period? Researching this topic, we cannot ignore the impact of the Great Recession since 2008. Thus, in this comparative research, we analyse France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and the United Kingdom to detect the changes. As expected, the six largest European democracies have been differently affected by the crisis, as they also had different background factors. We address an additional question: what is the impact of the European Union on the two democratic values? Accordingly, we analyse economic inequality, social inequality, and ethnic inequality with the related changing trends and explanations. We also detect and analyse the trend of freedoms, and especially personal dignity, civil rights, and political rights. Thus, the relative decline of equalities and freedoms in the six countries emerge in the different complex facets. We also explore the demand for equalities and freedoms by citizens and the political commitments of party leaders. The other issues we address include how and why, respectively, equalities and freedoms are affected by domestic aspects and the role of external factors, especially the European Union. By connecting equalities and freedoms and drawing the lines of entire research, we show how there are three different paths in the future of democracy: balanced democracy, protest democracy, and unaccountable democracy.

    Description: In der ökonomischen Analyse von Transformationsprozessen steht traditionell die Steigerung der Effizienz durch Privatisierung und Wettbewerb im Vordergrund der Betrachtung. Die Erfahrungen aus dem Übergang von Plan- zu Marktwirtschaften in den mittel- und osteuropäischen Reformländern während der letzten zwölf Jahre zeigen indessen, daß ungelöste Verteilungsprobleme im weitesten Sinne zu ernsthaften Reformblockaden führen können. Der vorliegende Sammelband faßt die Beiträge der Jahrestagung des Ausschusses für Wirtschaftssysteme vom 17. bis 19. 09. 2000 in Potsdam zum Thema "Verteilungsprobleme im Transformationsprozeß" zusammen. Bewußt wird hier der Begriff "Verteilungsprobleme" so weit gefaßt, daß er auch die Verteilung politischer Entscheidungskompetenz sowie die Verteilung von Entscheidungsmacht im Unternehmen im Hinblick auf die Massenprivatisierung einschließt. Ein weiterer für die Reformländer zentraler gesellschafts- und verteilungspolitischer Aspekt, nämlich das Problem der Alterssicherung und der intergenerationellen Umverteilung in kleinen offenen Transformationswirtschaften, wird ebenso behandelt wie die praktische Arbeitsmarktpolitik in verschiedenen Reformländern (Polen, Ungarn und Tschechien). Probleme der Einkommensverteilung im Transformationsprozeß, etwa der Zusammenhang zwischen Transformation und Einkommensverteilung oder die Frage der Einkommensdynamik und der Stabilität im Transformationsprozeß, vor allem am Beispiel der Tschechischen Republik, schließen die Erörterung der Verteilungsproblematik beim Übergang zur Marktwirtschaft ab.

    Description: The concepts of cultural diversity and cultural identity are at the forefront of the political debate in many western societies. In Europe, the discussion is stimulated by the political pressures associated with immigration flows, which are increasing in many European countries. The imperatives that current immigration trends impose on European democracies bring to light a number of issues that need to be addressed. What are the patterns and dynamics of cultural integration? How do they differ across immigrants of different ethnic groups and religious faiths? How do they differ across host societies? What are the implications and consequences for market outcomes and public policy? Which kind of institutional contexts are more or less likely to accommodate the cultural integration of immigrants? All these questions are crucial for policy makers and await answers. This book aims to provide a stepping stone to the debate. Taking an economic perspective, this edited book presents a current, comparative picture of the process of cultural integration of immigrants across Europe. It documents the main economic debates on the causes and consequences of cultural integration of immigrants, and provides detailed descriptions of the cultural and economic integration process in seven main European countries, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. It also compares the European context with the integration of immigrants in the United States.

    Description: Jacqueline Best argues that the changes in International Monetary Fund, World Bank and donor policies in the 1990s, towards what some have called the 'Post-Washington Consensus,' were driven by an erosion of expert authority and an increasing preoccupation with policy failure. Failures such as the Asian financial crisis and the decades of despair in sub-Saharan Africa led these institutions to develop governance strategies designed to avoid failure: fostering country ownership, developing global standards, managing risk and vulnerability and measuring results. In contrast to the structural adjustment era when policymakers were confident that they had all the answers, the author argues that we are now in an era of provisional governance, in which key actors are aware of the possibility of failure even as they seek to inoculate themselves against it. This book considers the implications of this shift, asking if it is a positive change and whether it is sustainable. This title was made Open Access by libraries from around the world through Knowledge Unlatched.

    Description: Die Europäische Union steht vor großen Herausforderungen. Erweiterung und Vertiefung der Union stehen auf der Politikagenda. Ob die Vorschläge des Europäischen Verfassungskonvents für eine grundlegende Erneuerung des Unionsvertrages diesbezüglich zukunftsfähig sind, bedarf einer intensiven Diskussion. In den Beiträgen des vorliegenden Bandes stehen Probleme speziell der europäischen Wirtschaftsverfassung im Mittelpunkt. Obwohl der Begriff der Wirtschaftsverfassung nicht eindeutig definiert ist, sind juristische und vor allem verfassungs- und institutionenökonomische Analysen von Belang. Dabei spannen die Beiträge einen Bogen über die wichtigsten Problembereiche. Grundsätzliche Überlegungen zu einer europäischen Verfassung führen zu den Fragen: Benötigen wir überhaupt eine Verfassung für Europa? Wie ist das Verhältnis zwischen den Nationalstaaten und der Union zu regeln? Freiheit, Bürgersouveränität und Subsidiarität - als eine spezielle Ausprägung des Prinzips der komparativen Wettbewerbsvorteile - spielen in der europäischen Wirtschaftsverfassung eine zentrale Rolle. Sie ergänzen sich mit Überlegungen zur europäischen Finanzverfassung, in der auch die Frage nach den institutionellen Ebenen gestellt wird, die für die Bereitstellung und Finanzierung unterschiedlicher Güter in der Union verantwortlich sind. Gefragt wird auch, ob eine Koordination der nationalen Arbeitsmarktpolitiken auf EU-Ebene sinnvoll ist, oder ob die Bekämpfung der Arbeitslosigkeit im nationalen Politikbereich verbleiben sollte. Zudem: Welche konstitutionen- und institutionenökonomischen Dimensionen hat der Stabilitäts- und Wachstumspakt? Behandelt wird auch das Problem, ob im europäischen Strukturwandel ein Konflikt existiert zwischen ökonomischer Effizienz und sozialer Sicherheit. Vor dem Hintergrund der Theorie optimaler Jurisdiktionen stellt sich die Frage nach der optimalen Länderzahl für die EU-Erweiterung. Optimalitätsprobleme aufgrund der Erweiterung des Euro-Raumes werden hinsichtlich der Entscheidungseffizienz des Rats der Europäischen Zentralbank erörtert. Schließlich behandelt der Band spezielle Aspekte der Subsidiarität sowie der kollektiven Marktbeherrschung in der Wettbewerbspolitik innerhalb der Union.

    Description: This book analyses the role of public action in solving the problem of hunger in the modern world. The study is divided into four parts. The first, making extensive use of the concepts of entitlements and capabilities explores the interaction of nutritional, economic, social, and political elements and their influence on hunger and deprivation. The problem of famine prevention is the main focus of the second part, with special attention given to Africa and India. The third part is devoted to the issue of fighting chronic undernourishment and the lessons to be learnt from the policies of China, India, and some other countries. The last part draws together the main themes and concerns of the earlier chapters, and provides an integrated view of the role of public action in eliminating hunger. The study suggests that there is indeed some space for public action in solving the problem of hunger and deprivation. In the case of famine prevention, social security could provide early warning systems and employment provision plans. To fight endemic deprivation, the authors suggest, among other things, that basic health care, elementary education, and food programmes should be looked at.

    Description: Why do certain parts of the state in Africa work so effectively despite operating in difficult governance contexts? How do 'pockets of bureaucratic effectiveness' emerge and become sustained over time? And what does this tell us about the prospects for state-building and development in Africa? Repeated economic and social crises have demanded that development thinkers and policy actors have had to engage with the critical role that states play in delivering development. Pockets of Effectiveness and the Politics of State-building and Development in Africa shows that politics is the driving factor that shapes how well state agencies perform their roles. It deploys a new conceptual framework – the power domains approach – to explore the shifting fortunes of key state agencies in five countries – Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia – over the past three decades. Our original research reveals when, how and why political rulers decide to build effective state agencies and enable them to deliver certain forms of economic development – often through forming strategic coalitions with senior bureaucrats and with international support – and also when this support falters and gives way to a politics of survival. Comparative analysis identifies two potential trajectories towards state-building in Africa, each shaped by different configurations of social and political power. The book critiques the role that international development agencies have played in (mis)shaping the state in Africa and suggests a new strategic agenda for building the state capacities required to deliver sustained development at the current juncture. The book closes with critical commentaries from two leading scholars in the field, to help place our work in context and establish the next steps for research and strategy in this increasingly important area of development theory and practice.

    Description: »Theories of Economic Stagnation and Deflation« Originally, the idea of secular stagnation was proposed by the American economist Alvin Hansen in the late 1930s. In 2013, Larry Summers took up this idea in a speech to the IMF. Classical economists such as D. Ricardo and J. St. Mill have also dealt with this topic in detail. This volume presents comparisons between older and more recent approaches explaining economic stagnation and deflation.

    Description: Sowohl in Expertenkreisen als auch in der Öffentlichkeit wird schon länger kontrovers über die anhaltenden Niedrigzinsen diskutiert. Liegt die Ursache dieser Niedrigzinsphase an der ultralockeren Geldpolitik der Zentralbanken oder sind die Zentralbanken selbst Getriebene einer bereits länger bestehenden realwirtschaftlichen Entwicklung, die man mit dem Begriff »säkulare Stagnation« charakterisieren könnte? Die These von der säkularen Stagnation ist eng mit dem amerikanischen Ökonomen Alvin Hansen verbunden, der das Thema in den späten 1930er Jahren aufwarf. Allerdings haben sich bereits klassische Ökonomen wie D. Ricardo und J. St. Mill damit befasst. Im vorliegenden Band werden Vergleiche zwischen älteren und jüngeren Erklärungsansätzen wirtschaftlicher Stagnation und Deflation vorgestellt.

    Description: Few concepts have captured the imagination of the conflict and development communities in recent years as powerfully as the idea of a ‘political settlement’. At its most ambitious, ‘political settlements analysis’ (PSA) promises to explain why conflicts occur and states collapse, the conditions for their successful rehabilitation, different developmental pathways from peace, and how to better fit development policy to country context. Yet despite the meteoric rise of the term and its tremendous promise, not all is well in the world of PSA. Rival definitions of the concept abound; there are disagreements about its scope and the way it should be used; a growing schism between conflict specialists and economists; basic concepts are ambiguous; and little progress has been made on measurement. This book consequently has three main aims. The first is to argue for a revised definition of a political settlement, capable of unifying its diverse strands. The second is to put the concept on a more solid theoretical and scientific footing, providing a method for measuring and categorizing political settlements, using both qualitative case studies and a large-n statistical analysis to illustrate its potential. And the third is to examine the implications of the findings for mainstream social science analysis and for policymakers.

    Description: Why do governments in some developing countries implement international standards, while others do not? Focusing on the politics of bank regulation, this book develops a new framework to explain regulatory interdependence between countries in the core and the periphery of the global financial system. Drawing on in-depth analysis of eleven countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America, it shows how financial globalization generates strong reputational and competitive incentives for developing countries to converge on international standards. Regulatory interdependence is generated by relations between regulators, politicians, and banks within developing countries, and international actors including investors, peer regulators, and international financial institutions. We explain why it is that some configurations of domestic politics and forms of integration into global finance generate convergence with international standards, while other configurations lead to divergence. This book contributes to our understanding of the ways in which governments and firms in the core of global finance powerfully shape regulatory politics in the periphery, and the ways in which peripheral governments and firms manoeuvre within the constraints and opportunities created by financial globalization

    Description: It is now widely accepted that politics plays a significant role in shaping the possibilities for inclusive development. However, the specific ways in which this happens across different types and forms of development, and in different contexts, remains poorly understood. This collection provides the state of the art review regarding what is currently known about the politics of inclusive development. Leading academics offer systematic reviews of how politics shapes development across multiple dimensions, including through growth, natural resource governance, poverty reduction, service delivery, social protection, justice systems, the empowerment of marginalized groups, and the role of both traditional and non-traditional donors. The book not only provides a comprehensive update but also a groundbreaking range of new directions for thinking and acting around these issues. The book’s originality thus derives not only from the wide scope of its case-study material, but also from the new conceptual approaches it offers for thinking about the politics of inclusive development, and the innovative and practical suggestions for donors, policymakers, and practitioners that flow from this.

    Description: This book presents the findings of original field research into the design, practice, and varied outcomes of industrial policy in three sectors in Ethiopia, covering export-oriented and import-substitution industries. The three sectors are cement, leather and leather products, and floriculture. Given that there is a single industrial strategy, why do its outcomes vary across sectors? To what extent is this a function of the specific market and political economy features of each sector? The book examines industrial structures and associated global value chains to demonstrate the challenges faced by African firms in international markets. Part of the book’s relevance is the light it throws on the whole question of industrial policy in low-income countries, the subject of renewed discussion among development economists and organizations in recent years. The findings are also discussed in the light of the history of, and the history of thought about, industrialization. Insights for researchers and policymakers emerge from the analysis of failures and successes in the three industrial sectors. The book also challenges prevailing wisdom on how much and what kind of state intervention is required to support transformational industrial policy in Africa. Among other things, the book highlights the significance for policy design of maximizing linkage effects, backward and forward, from particular industries and activities.

    Description: The term »mercantilism« is most commonly understood as an epoch in economic history and was originally coined by Adam Smith, who distinguished his doctrine of his system of natural liberty from that of his predecessors and that of physiocracy. Instead, Cameralism is often referred to as the German version of mercantilism. However, it primarily emerged as a discipline at many universities in the German-speaking territories to form and train the civil servants of their administration.
    Description: Published
    Description: Der Ausschuss für die Geschichte der Wirtschaftswissenschaften hatte sich bereits 1981 mit dem Kameralismus und Merkantilismus beschäftigt. In den folgenden 37 Jahren ist die theoriegeschichtliche Forschung in diesem Feld vorangeschritten und so war es an der Zeit, sich erneut dieser Thematik zuzuwenden. Nicht zuletzt wegen des Aufkeimens merkantilistischer Klänge in der amerikanischen Wirtschaftspolitik unter der US-Präsidentschaft von Donald Trump ergaben sich sogar aktuelle Bezüge. Auch Deutschland wurde von verschiedener Seite neomerkantilistische Wirtschaftspolitik vorgeworfen, seit der Außenhandelsüberschuss auf über sieben Prozent des BIP angewachsen ist und im Jahr 2016 seinen vorläufigen Höhepunkt fand. Dem Kameralismus wurde in dieser Tagung besondere Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet, denn ihn gab es im deutschsprachigen Raum als eigenständige Disziplin an den Universitäten, an denen die Landesherren ihre Beamtenschaft ausbilden ließ. Der Merkantilismus war hingegen eine Wortschöpfung Adam Smiths, der seine Lehre der natürlichen Freiheit von der der englischsprachigen Vorgänger und der Physiokratie abheben wollte.

    Description: The Global Financial Crisis (GFC) is the most serious economic crisis since the Great Depression. Many books have explored its causes, but this book systematically explores its consequences. The focus is primarily on the policy and political consequences of the GFC. This book asks how governments responded to the challenge and what the political consequences of the combination of the GFC itself and policy responses to it have been. Based on workshops held in the United States and the United Kingdom, it brings together leading academics to consider the divergent ways in which particular countries have responded in different ways to the crisis, including China, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Part of what is happening is a structural shift in economic power from east to west, but China has its fragilities while Germany offers an example of a largely successful Western model. The book also assesses attempts to develop global economic governance and to reform financial regulation and looks critically at the role of credit rating agencies. Unlike earlier crises, no new paradigm has emerged to challenge existing ways of thinking, meaning that neoliberalism has emerged relatively unscathed. The crisis has lacked a coherent and innovative intellectual response and has been characterized by remarkable policy stability.

    Description: This book provides a systematic analysis of the political processes shaping the distribution of social transfers in six countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. In doing so, the book addresses a notable gap in recent research on social protection concerning the politics of implementation. While considerable attention has been devoted to debating the merits of different policy designs and the political factors shaping the adoption and diffusion of different policy models, ultimately the ability of any social transfer programme to deliver on its promises is dependent on the effective implementation and distribution of social transfers in line with intended objectives. The chapters in this book examine international and sub-national variation in programme implementation in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nepal, and Rwanda, drawing on a common analytical framework that highlights the importance of state capacity and reach, rooted in histories of state formation, and contemporary political competition in shaping the distribution of social transfers. Comparative analysis of the case studies supports the view that variation in the capacity and reach of the state within countries is a centrally important factor shaping the effectiveness and impartiality of distribution. Yet state capacity alone is insufficient. Rather, political competition and power relations shape how this capacity is actually deployed in practice. As such, the book underscores the inherently political nature of implementation and questions common technocratic efforts to improve implementation by de-politicizing the social protection policy process.

    Description: "As their Millennium Development Goals, world leaders have pledged by 2015 to halve the number of people living in extreme poverty and hunger, to achieve universal primary education, to reduce child mortality, to halt the spread of HIV/AIDS, and to halve the number of people without safe drinking water. Achieving these goals requires a large increase in the flow of financial resources to developing countries – double the present development assistance from abroad. In examining innovative ways to secure these resources, this book, which is part of the UNU–WIDER Studies in Development Economics series, sets out a framework for the economic analysis of different sources of funding and applying the tools of modern public economics to identify the key issues. It examines the role of new sources of overseas aid, considers the fiscal architecture and the lessons that can be learned from federal fiscal systems, asks how far increased transfers impose a burden on donors, and investigates how far the raising of resources can be separated from their use. In turn, the book examines global environmental taxes (such as a carbon tax), the taxation of currency transactions (the Tobin tax), a development‐focused allocation of Special Drawing Rights by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the UK Government proposal for an International Finance Facility, increased private donations for development purposes, a global lottery (or premium bond), and increased remittances by emigrants. In each case, it considers the feasibility of the proposal and the resources that it can realistically raise, and offers new perspectives and insights into these new and controversial proposals. "

    Description: Der Band faßt Referate einer Sitzung des Bildungsökonomischen Ausschusses im Herbst 1993 in Liberec (Tschechien) zusammen. Die Beiträge spüren der Frage nach, auf welche Weise das aus der DDR ererbte Humankapital dem notwendigen Umstrukturierungsprozeß der ostdeutschen Wirtschaft angepaßt wurde und welche Bedeutung das modernisierte Humankapital für den Transformationsprozeß hat. H. Maier führt das Scheitern der Planwirtschaft der DDR vorrangig auf deren Innovationsschwäche zurück und damit auf die Unfähigkeit, den im Vergleich zur Bundesrepublik relativ gleich hohen Forschungsinput in innovationsrelevante Produkte, Verfahren und Dienstleistungen zu transformieren. Unter Verweis auf einen neuen Langfristzyklus, der durch die Mikroelektronik angestoßen worden sei und grundlegend veränderte Qualifikationsprofile verlange, plädiert Maier für einen humankapitalintensiven Entwicklungspfad in Gesamtdeutschland. Th. Schmid-Schönbein analysiert die Reindustrialisierungsprozesse im Bereich der ostdeutschen Großindustrie im Zusammenhang mit dem Treuhandkonzept der Unternehmensnetze bzw. -parks. Er fragt nach den qualifikatorischen Folgen einer solchen Strategie und schlägt die Implementation eines allgemeinen Trainingsprogramms vor, das auf unternehmensinterne Qualifizierung setzt und in den USA über viele Jahre mit Erfolg eingesetzt worden sei. J. Wahse hat Treuhand- und Ex-Treuhandunternehmen nach ihren Qualifizierungspolitiken befragt, die sie im Rahmen der »innerbetrieblichen Transformationsprozesse« verfolgen. Wahse unterscheidet den Entwicklungszustand der Unternehmen nach Grundsanierungs- und Feinprofilierungsphase und folgert aus den Phasen einen je differenten Oualifizierungsbedarf auf Seiten der Belegschaften. Die Befragung der beiden Unternehmensgruppen führt zu dem Ergebnis, daß die bereits privatisierten Unternehmen in erheblich höherer Intensität Qualifizierungsmaßnahmen durchführen als Treuhandfirmen und daß ein deutlich größerer Anteil sich bereits in der Phase der Feinprofilierung befindet. C. Helberger und M. Pannenberg unterziehen die erste Phase einer aktiven Arbeitsmarktpolitik (Fortbildung und Umschulung) in Ostdeutschland einer systematischen ökonometrischen Evaluation. Evaluationskriterium bildet die individuelle Erwerbsbiographie der Teilnehmer im Anschluß an eine von der Bundesanstalt für Arbeit geförderte Qualifizierungsmaßnahme. Maßgrößen sind dabei die Abgänge in Erwerbstätigkeit und die individuelle Einkommensentwicklung der Teilnehmer/innen. Die Autoren konstatieren eine überraschend hohe Erfolgsquote der aktiven Arbeitsmarktpolitik, zumindest für die frühen 90er Jahre.

    Description: Der vorliegende Sammelband enthält Referate, die auf der Jahrestagung 2003 des Ausschusses für Entwicklungsländer des Vereins für Socialpolitik in Hamburg gehalten wurden. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Beurteilung der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit (EZ). Einen ersten Schwerpunkt bilden die in der Praxis der EZ angewendeten Verfahren zur Evaluierung von Projekten. Die Methodik zweier in der deutschen EZ tätiger Institutionen wird dargestellt und einer kritischen Beurteilung bezüglich der adäquaten Berücksichtigung verschiedener Erfolgskriterien wie z.B. der Nachhaltigkeit unterzogen. Ein zweiter Schwerpunkt besteht in der polit-ökonomischen Analyse von Projektevaluierungen, in der Interessenverflechtungen zwischen verschiedenen beteiligten Akteuren mit jeweils eigenen Zielsetzungen modelliert, die Ergebnisse empirisch überprüft und Anregungen für eine Erhöhung der Unabhängigkeit und Qualität der Evaluierung abgeleitet werden. Den dritten Schwerpunkt schließlich bildet die - häufig durch die EZ geförderte - Bereitstellung bestimmter gemeinschaftsbasierter Dienstleistungen in Entwicklungsländern. Konkret erstrecken sich die Untersuchungen auf Systeme partizipativen Ressourcenmanagements in Bewässerungsprojekten in Ghana sowie gemeinschaftsbasierter ländlicher Krankenversicherungen im Senegal. Die Lektüre des Bandes macht deutlich, dass eine fundierte ökonomische Auseinandersetzung mit bestimmten, bisher vernachlässigten Aspekten der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit und der Institutionenbildung in Entwicklungsländern außerordentlich fruchtbar sein kann.

It then explores the political coalitions needed to support policymaking that avoids pitting generations against each other.

    Description: »New Perspectives on the Political Economy of Marx and Engels in MEGA, the Complete Works Edition« The volume presents the dramatic history of MEGA, the edition of the Complete Works of Marx and Engels, and the new insights that it has delivered. It offers a new solution of the Transformation Problem in the determination of the profit rate, and information on the genesis of Marx’ theory of crises. Further contributions set Marx’ ideas about the role of services, his notions of poverty and his elitist concept of communism in the wider context of the history of economic thought.

    Description: Zur Marx’schen Theorie gibt es immer wieder neue Erkenntnisse. Einige stammen sogar von Karl Marx persönlich, zutage gefördert durch die Arbeiten an der Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe (MEGA), die unter der Ägide der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften stattfinden. Der vorliegende Tagungsband des Ausschusses für die Geschichte der Wirtschaftswissenschaften im Verein für Socialpolitik befasst sich mit der wechselvollen, bald hundertjährigen Geschichte der MEGA. Er bietet sowohl eine neue Lösung für das Transformationsproblem in der Bestimmung der Profitrate als auch Einblicke in die Entstehung der Marx’schen Krisentheorie und ihre Ähnlichkeiten mit späteren produktionstheoretischen Ansätzen. Weitere Beiträge ordnen Marx’ Einschätzungen der gesamtwirtschaftlichen Rolle von Dienstleistungen, seine Begriffe von Armut und seine bildungsbürgerlichen Idealvorstellungen vom Kommunismus in größere Zusammenhänge der Theoriegeschichte ein.

    Description: "International financial crises have plagued the world in recent decades, including the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s, the East Asian crisis of the late twentieth century, and the global financial crisis of 2007-09. One of the basic problems faced during these crises is the lack of adequate preventive mechanisms, as well as insufficient instruments to finance countries in crisis and to overcome their over-indebtedness. Resetting the International Monetary (Non)System provides an analysis of the global monetary system and the necessary reforms that it should undergo to play an active role in the twenty-first century and proposes a comprehensive yet evolutionary reform of the system. Criticising the ad hoc framework- a ""(non)system""- that has evolved following the breakdown of the Bretton Woods arrangement in the early 1970's, Resetting the International Monetary (Non)System places a special focus on the asymmetries that emerging and developing countries face, analysing the controversial management of crises by the International Monetary Fund and proposing a consistent set of reform proposals to design a better system of international monetary cooperation. Policy orientated and structured to deal in a sequential way with the issues involved, it suggests provision of international liquidity through a system that mixes the multicurrency arrangement with a more active use of the IMF's Special Drawing Rights; stronger mechanisms of macroeconomic policy cooperation, including greater cooperation in exchange rate management and freedom to manage capital flows; additional automatic balance-of-payments financing facilities and the complementary use of swap and regional arrangements; a multilateral sovereign debt workout mechanism; and major reforms of the system's governance."

    Description: Zur Marx’schen Theorie gibt es immer wieder neue Erkenntnisse. Einige stammen sogar von Karl Marx persönlich, zutage gefördert durch die Arbeiten an der Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe (MEGA), die unter der Ägide der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften stattfinden. Der vorliegende Tagungsband des Ausschusses für die Geschichte der Wirtschaftswissenschaften im Verein für Socialpolitik befasst sich mit der wechselvollen, bald hundertjährigen Geschichte der MEGA. Er bietet sowohl eine neue Lösung für das Transformationsproblem in der Bestimmung der Profitrate als auch Einblicke in die Entstehung der Marx’schen Krisentheorie und ihre Ähnlichkeiten mit späteren produktionstheoretischen Ansätzen. Weitere Beiträge ordnen Marx’ Einschätzungen der gesamtwirtschaftlichen Rolle von Dienstleistungen, seine Begriffe von Armut und seine bildungsbürgerlichen Idealvorstellungen vom Kommunismus in größere Zusammenhänge der Theoriegeschichte ein.»New Perspectives on the Political Economy of Marx and Engels in MEGA, the Complete Works Edition« The volume presents the dramatic history of MEGA, the edition of the Complete Works of Marx and Engels, and the new insights that it has delivered. It offers a new solution of the Transformation Problem in the determination of the profit rate, and information on the genesis of Marx’ theory of crises. Further contributions set Marx’ ideas about the role of services, his notions of poverty and his elitist concept of communism in the wider context of the history of economic thought.

    Description: The term »mercantilism« is most commonly understood as an epoch in economic history and was originally coined by Adam Smith, who distinguished his doctrine of his system of natural liberty from that of his predecessors and that of physiocracy. Instead, Cameralism is often referred to as the German version of mercantilism. However, it primarily emerged as a discipline at many universities in the German-speaking territories to form and train the civil servants of their administration.
    Description: Published
    Description: Der Ausschuss für die Geschichte der Wirtschaftswissenschaften hatte sich bereits 1981 mit dem Kameralismus und Merkantilismus beschäftigt. In den folgenden 37 Jahren ist die theoriegeschichtliche Forschung in diesem Feld vorangeschritten und so war es an der Zeit, sich erneut dieser Thematik zuzuwenden. Nicht zuletzt wegen des Aufkeimens merkantilistischer Klänge in der amerikanischen Wirtschaftspolitik unter der US-Präsidentschaft von Donald Trump ergaben sich sogar aktuelle Bezüge. Auch Deutschland wurde von verschiedener Seite neomerkantilistische Wirtschaftspolitik vorgeworfen, seit der Außenhandelsüberschuss auf über sieben Prozent des BIP angewachsen ist und im Jahr 2016 seinen vorläufigen Höhepunkt fand. Dem Kameralismus wurde in dieser Tagung besondere Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet, denn ihn gab es im deutschsprachigen Raum als eigenständige Disziplin an den Universitäten, an denen die Landesherren ihre Beamtenschaft ausbilden ließ. Der Merkantilismus war hingegen eine Wortschöpfung Adam Smiths, der seine Lehre der natürlichen Freiheit von der der englischsprachigen Vorgänger und der Physiokratie abheben wollte.

    Description: The digital PDF of the Afterword of this title are available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. The word ‘precarity’ is widely used when discussing work and employment, social conditions and lived experiences, and social classes. There is not, however, a consensus on the precise meaning of the term or how it should best be used to explore social changes. Bringing together an international group of thinkers from a diverse range of fields, this book offers a distinctive and critical perspective approach to an important topic.

    Description: Authored by eminent scholars, the volume aims to generate interest and debate among policymakers, practitioners, and researchers on the complexity of learning and catch-up, particularly for twenty-first century late-late developers. The volume explores technological learning at the firm level, policy learning by the state, and the cumulative and multifaceted nature of the learning process, which encompasses learning by doing, by experiment, emulation, innovation, and leapfrogging. Why is catch-up rare? And why have some nations succeeded while others failed? What are the prospects for successful learning and catch-up in the twenty-first century? These are pertinent questions that require further research and in-depth analysis. The World Bank estimates that out of the 101 middle-income economies in 1960, only thirteen became high income by 2008. This volume examines how nations learn by reviewing key structural and contingent factors that contribute to dynamic learning and catch-up. Rejecting both the one-size-fits-all approach and the agnosticism that all nations are unique and different, the volume uses historical as well as firm-level, industry-level, and country-level evidence and experiences to identify the sources and drivers of successful learning and catch-up and the lessons for late-latecomer countries. Building on the latecomer-advantage perspective, the volume shows that what is critical for dynamic learning and catch-up is not learning per se but the intensity of learning, robust industrial policies, and the pace and direction of learning. Equally important are the passion to learn, long-term strategic vision, and understanding the context in which successful learning occurs.

    Description: Die Europäische Union steht vor großen Herausforderungen. Erweiterung und Vertiefung der Union stehen auf der Politikagenda. Ob die Vorschläge des Europäischen Verfassungskonvents für eine grundlegende Erneuerung des Unionsvertrages diesbezüglich zukunftsfähig sind, bedarf einer intensiven Diskussion. In den Beiträgen des vorliegenden Bandes stehen Probleme speziell der europäischen Wirtschaftsverfassung im Mittelpunkt. Obwohl der Begriff der Wirtschaftsverfassung nicht eindeutig definiert ist, sind juristische und vor allem verfassungs- und institutionenökonomische Analysen von Belang. Dabei spannen die Beiträge einen Bogen über die wichtigsten Problembereiche. Grundsätzliche Überlegungen zu einer europäischen Verfassung führen zu den Fragen: Benötigen wir überhaupt eine Verfassung für Europa? Wie ist das Verhältnis zwischen den Nationalstaaten und der Union zu regeln? Freiheit, Bürgersouveränität und Subsidiarität - als eine spezielle Ausprägung des Prinzips der komparativen Wettbewerbsvorteile - spielen in der europäischen Wirtschaftsverfassung eine zentrale Rolle. Sie ergänzen sich mit Überlegungen zur europäischen Finanzverfassung, in der auch die Frage nach den institutionellen Ebenen gestellt wird, die für die Bereitstellung und Finanzierung unterschiedlicher Güter in der Union verantwortlich sind. Gefragt wird auch, ob eine Koordination der nationalen Arbeitsmarktpolitiken auf EU-Ebene sinnvoll ist, oder ob die Bekämpfung der Arbeitslosigkeit im nationalen Politikbereich verbleiben sollte. Zudem: Welche konstitutionen- und institutionenökonomischen Dimensionen hat der Stabilitäts- und Wachstumspakt? Behandelt wird auch das Problem, ob im europäischen Strukturwandel ein Konflikt existiert zwischen ökonomischer Effizienz und sozialer Sicherheit. Vor dem Hintergrund der Theorie optimaler Jurisdiktionen stellt sich die Frage nach der optimalen Länderzahl für die EU-Erweiterung. Optimalitätsprobleme aufgrund der Erweiterung des Euro-Raumes werden hinsichtlich der Entscheidungseffizienz des Rats der Europäischen Zentralbank erörtert. Schließlich behandelt der Band spezielle Aspekte der Subsidiarität sowie der kollektiven Marktbeherrschung in der Wettbewerbspolitik innerhalb der Union.
