The Political Economy of Japanese Society: Internationalization and Domestic Problems (Internationalization &, Domestic Problems)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book, a revision and translation of a multi-disciplinary research project carried out by the Institute of Social Science at the University of Tokyo, analyzes the Japanese political economy from a historical perspective in order to provide a balancedview between the optimism of the 1980s and the pessimism of the 1990s. Paying particular attention to the changes in Japan`s contemporary political economy that have occurred `from below`, the authors consider marginalized social actors such as opposition parties, the aged, and female and foreign workers alongside more mainstream players such as the governing party, large corporations, and labor unions. Finally, the book analyzes the strong impact of the Japanese political economy on the global economy. [detailed...]

The Political Economy of Java`s Northeast Coast, c. 1740-1800 (Tanap Monographs on the History of the Asian-European Intera)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book is a study of the political economy of Java`s Northeast Coast from 1743, when the VOC emerged as its ruler, until the end of the eighteenth century. The focus is on the various power-holders - namely coastal Javanese regents, Mataram rulers, Chinese merchants and Company authorities - and how they accommodated the changes brought about with the power shift, what their primary resources were and how they tried to maximize their advantages in the new politico-economic setting. This study also shows how the Company, despite being the ruler, had to compromise with these power-holders and satisfy their needs to optimize its gains. [detailed...]

The Political Economy of Latin America in the Postwar Period (ILAS Critical Reflections on Latin America Series)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The historic and increasing interdependence of the Latin American and U.S. economies makes an understanding of the political economies of Latin American nations particularly timely and important. After World War II, many nations initially implemented import substituting industrialization policies. Their outcomes, and the shift in policies, are related to the domestic policies and world economic conditions that led to government deficits, inflation, foreign borrowing, debt renegotiation, and renewed emphasis on common markets and other devices to stimulate trade and investment. In The Political Economy of Latin America in the Postwar Period, important policy measures are evaluated, such as indexation of prices and contracts, special provisions for financing the government through the Central Bank, stabilization, and deregulation of the economy. The introduction presents trends in Latin American growth and the factors that influence them. This is followed by parallel studies of the… [detailed...]

The Political Economy of Managed Migration: The Role of Unions, Employers, and Non-Governmental Organizations in a Europeanized Policy Domain

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Immigration has re-emerged as a highly politicized and contested policy domain throughout Europe. Demographic trends, skill shortages despite high unemployment rates, and advocacy by employers are leading governments to jettison `zero immigration` policies. The newly emerging paradigm of `managed migration` entails more permissive access channels for coveted labor migrants, while access by unsolicited asylum seekers and beneficiaries of family reunion is curtailed. Governments are subject to influential lobbying by employers, trade unions, and humanitarian non-governmental organizations, but the effectiveness of such lobbying is mitigated by important institutional-organizational characteristics. The nature and number of labor migrants desired is conditioned by the respective system of political economy, thus liberal economies such as the UK and Ireland accommodate different types of migrants then Germany and France. But migration policy is also increasingly Europeanized and the… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: A large measure of consensus exists about the substantive content of successful economic policy reform?macroeconomic discipline, microeconomic liberalization, and participation in the global economy?that is needed for an economy to enter the modern world. There is much less consensus on the political conditions necessary to sustain meaningful economic reform. Editor John Williamson commissioned 13 case studies for countries as diverse as Australia, Chile, and Poland from `technopols` who playedleading roles in implementing the policy reforms. Each author focuses on the political and institutional factors that shaped policy choices and outcomes. This volume contains the case studies and a synthesis of findings and other policy implications by Williamson and University of California at San Diego political scientist Stephan Haggard. Other distinguished experts, including Inter-American Development Bank President Enrique Iglesias and Harvard economist Jeffrey Sachs, contribute… [detailed...]

The Political Economy of Reform

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this book, Federico Sturzenegger and Mariano Tommasi propose formal models to answer some of the questions raised by the recent reform experience of many Latin American and East European countries. They apply common standards of analytical rigor tothe study of economic and political behavior, assuming political agents to be rational and forward-looking, with expectations consistent with the properties of the underlying model. The book is organized around three basic questions: first, why do reforms take place? Second, how are reforms implemented? And third, which candidates are most likely to undertake reform? Although most of the chapters deal with policy issues in developing economies, the findings also apply to areas such as social security and health care reform in industrialized countries.

The contributions challenge the traditional formal interstate and institutional bias in analyzes of regionalization, in which the EU is often presented as the model for understanding contemporary practices. Instead, they underscore the need to understand regionalization in terms of its myriad local articulations. There is not just one process of regionalization, but many. [detailed...]

The Political Economy of Rural Development: Modernization without Centralization?

2006 y.
Publisher: Eburon Publishers, Delft
Description: The Political Economy of Rural Development argues for a new analysis of rural economic growth patterns, based on research the author conducted in Scandinavia. Ottar Brox reverses a long-standing conviction in urban planning theory by asserting that improving the economic opportunities for individuals in rural areas is an indirect investment in urban hubs. Peasant resistance, he reveals, is the logical result of urban neglect of local interests. The Political Economy of Rural Development is a convincing argument for new, localized economic strategies and will be invaluable to those interested in rural planning and economics. [detailed...]

The Political Economy of Russian Oil

Publisher: —
Description: One of the dominant export-oriented industries in Russia, oil is a major source of tax revenue and wealth. The privatization of these vast assets has made the industry a site not only for conflict between power holders but also a strategic target for international corporations and Western governments. In this thoughtful analysis, a group of international specialists explores the political and economic issues and controversies surrounding the move to capitalism. The authors examine the spread of crime andcorruption, the role of Russian and Western financial institutions, regional tensions, and the international dimension. As a paradigm for the Russian economy as a whole, the case of the oil industry provides invaluable insights for understanding the political and economic problems confronting Russia today.

The Political Economy of Stalinism: Evidence from the Soviet Secret Archives

Description: Using formerly secret Soviet state and Communist Party archives to describe the Soviet administrative command system, this study concludes that the system failed not because of Stalin and later leaders, but because of the economic system. It pinpoints the reasons for failure such as poor planning, unreliable supplies, preferential treatment of indigenous enterprises as well as the basic principal-agent conflict between planners and producers, which created a sixty-year reform stalemate. Although the command system was the most significant human experiment of the twentieth century, its basic contradictions and inherent flaws would re-surface if it were to be repeated. [detailed...]
