Handbuch der kommunalen Wirtschaftsförderung

Economic Development und Standortentwicklung

Soziale Marktwirtschaft ist zu einer Konsensformel geworden: nahezu alle politischen Parteien berufen sich hierauf. Dies kann aber auch Anzeichen dafür sein, dass Soziale Marktwirtschaft zur Leerformel geworden ist. Umso wichtiger ist es, drei Fragen zu stellen: Was meint das Konzept ursprünglich? Wie hat es sich im Laufe der Jahre gewandelt? Wo stehen aktuelle Debatten? Dieser Band bietet anhand von Originaltexten die Grundlagen, um diese Fragen zu diskutieren. Zentrale Grundtexte werden jeweils mit Einführungen versehen, die dem Leser die intellektuellen und politischen Zusammenhänge erläutern, um Autoren, Werk und Wirkung historisch einordnen zu können. Mit Originaltexten von Tony Blair, Franz Böhm, Constantin von Dietze, Ludwig Erhard, Walter Eucken, Edith Eucken-Erdsiek, Hans Gestrich, Nils Goldschmidt, Hans Großmann-Doerth, Friedrich A. von Hayek, K. Paul Hensel, Joseph Höffner, Erich Hoppmann, Otto Graf Lambsdorff, Hans Otto Lenel, Leonhard Miksch, Alfred Müller-Armack, Wilhelm Röpke, Alexander Rüstow, Karl Schiller, Otto Schlecht, Gerhard Schröder, Viktor Vanberg, Gerhard Wegner, Michael Wohlgemuth, Joachim Zweynert.

Toward a Green Society

This book draws lessons from a pivotal moment in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a time marked by both conflict and uncertainty. It explores how economic ideas, particularly bilateral trade contributed to the unprecedented breakthrough of the 1993 Oslo I Accord. A Special focus is given to the establishment of the economic relations between the conflicting sides as manifested in the 1994 Paris Protocol, the legal economic framework of the Oslo Accords. While the economic empowerment of Palestine within the Oslo Accord showed initial promise, in the decades to follow, increasing economic (inter)dependence coincided with rising tensions.&nbsp;The book examines how both negative and positive economic incentives have been used to promote the peace process in the region, from the 1993 Oslo process to the 2020 Abraham Accords and the ongoing negotiations amid the Israel-Hamas 2023 war.Through a multidisciplinary approach, it explores the intersection of economic policy and diplomacy, offering insights into both the lessons of Oslo and the derangement of the peace process for practitioners, researchers, and students engaged with international relations, political economy, peace and conflict and Middle East affairs.&nbsp;Libby Lahar is a visiting scholar at the International Institute of Social Studies, The Hague, Erasmus University Rotterdam. Her PhD research employed a multimethod approach to examine the political-development nexus in Israeli-Palestinian peace processes. She has also worked at the UN, with the EU, and in a leading regional peacebuilding NGO.&nbsp;

This book explores the legacy of economist Eugen Varga and the continued importance of his life and work. It examines the influence of Marx and Luxemburg on Varga’s ideas, particularly his analysis of the capitalist mode of production and his theoretical work on the development of an alternative mode of production. How Varga found limitations in not just his own strongly empirical epistemology, but also in the anti-dialectic Stalinist system are discussed, alongside why these critiques remain relevant in relation to neoliberal theories, inequality, and ecological concerns. Varga’s specific notion of the modern state, his political economy analysis, and his position within the Marxist economic tradition are also covered.
This book provides insight into the challenges faced when attempting to overcome the capitalist mode of production, as well as the historical limitations of scientific research and how ideas can be corrupted by personal, political, and societal forces. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in Marxist economics, the political economy, and the history of economic thought.

The Economic Legacy of Eugen Varga

We live in a golden age of technological innovation and commercialization, which has enhanced value creation and prosperity and significantly transformed our daily lives from physical to digital. While universities have played a critical role in this transformation, they now see enormous challenges in sustaining the discoveries, inventions, and innovations brought on by rapid technology obsolescence and even faster commercialization driven by transformational digital technologies.&nbsp;Innovation and the 21st-Century Research University examines the limitations of commercializing fast-paced innovation within today's university systems and outlines a way forward for a new generation of foundational institutions to create an end-to-end seamless value chain. The authors share their vision for a new educational, R&amp;D, and incubator ecosystem for the 21st Century that will continue to drive science and technology, research, and innovation for societal good at the local, regional, national, and global scale and offer a new age of digital equity, growth, and prosperity.&nbsp;
The authors, both business and academic leaders with diverse technology industry experience, offer critical insights into the complex and evolving world of innovation, R&amp;D, deep tech, entrepreneurship, and commercializing innovation. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the structural and systemic reforms needed in our education system and their impact on higher education and future generations.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Understanding China

This book sorts out the causes, consequences and the evolution path of China's economic reform process from the historical dimension of China's economic policy changes, from which the long-standing contradictions and conflicts between the two different models can be seen throughout the process, i.e. the market economy and the state-dominated economy (Lenin's 'special state capitalism') as well as the potential risks that will be brought by the pause of market and law reform on China's economic and social development. The dispute on the paths exists and will continue, which builds the great complexity and arduousness since China's Reform and Opening-up. This book is written by Chinese economist Jinglian Wu, which helps readers to understand the history and logic behind China's reform and opening-up, as well as the challenges China is facing.

This book presents a groundbreaking new perspective on European imperialism in Africa, by focusing on the role of Dutch private entrepreneurs in colonial activities during the so-called ‘Scramble for Africa’.Distinguishing between a state-based ‘Partition of’ and an actor-based ‘Scramble for’ Africa, the book illustrates this process by tracking the entrepreneurial strategy of a group of Dutch entrepreneurs in the Scramble, at a time when the Dutch state itself largely withdrew from the African continent. This book thus investigates why&nbsp;and how nineteenth-century Dutch entrepreneurs from the port city of Rotterdam invested significant resources in West and West Central Africa between the 1830s and the 1910s. It demonstrates the trans-national nature of colonial investments in the Scramble for Africa, highlighting the crucial role Dutch entrepreneurs played in trade, production and investment in empires across West and West Central Africa (the Congo Free State, French Congo and Portuguese Angola). The book aims to rethink the Dutch role in European imperialism more broadly and its repercussions in the present day.
The book takes into account the social and political implications of colonial entrepreneurship as much as the economic and business implications, going beyond a strictly entrepreneurial analysis of success and failure. It will be essential reading for scholars of economic and business history, as well as historians of imperialism, colonialism and trans-imperial relations.
Gijs Dreijer&nbsp;is a postdoctoral researcher presently working on a grant from the Gerda Henkel Foundation on Dutch entrepreneurs in nineteenth-century Africa. Previously, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Leiden University, The Netherlands, and the Alfred. D. Chandler jr. International Visiting Fellow at Harvard Business School. His PhD dissertation on sixteenth-century maritime law in Antwerp was awarded the Frank Broeze Prize for Outstanding Doctoral Thesis in Maritime History. His research interests focus on economic, business, maritime and imperial history.

Dutch Entrepreneurs in the Scramble for Africa, 1830s-1910s

Private Entrepreneurship and European Imperialism

From the 1950s to the 1980s, the open-air playground was a social laboratory. Innovative, wacky, educational, and exciting playground designs emerged in European and American cities, as well as elsewhere around the world: artists, landscape designers, architects, and activists sought to provide children with the best possible place to play, while also reimagining cities and communities.First published in 2018, The Playground Project instantly became a classic. This much-expanded new edition brings back the wealth of ideas of that period to inspire us today. It offers many previously unpublished images, numerous new portraits, especially of female protagonists of the time, as well as findings from the latest research on playground design. An incisive introductory essay places the playground at the intersections of education, architecture, urban politics, design history, and leisure policy. A detailed focus is placed on the forgotten history of playgrounds in the former German Democratic Republic. Moreover, young researchers explore the culture of memory surrounding the Shek Lei Playground in Hong Kong, and the role that playgrounds played in the process of state-building in Mexico.The book is a tribute to play in public spaces and a rich source for architects, designers, students, children, and political actors.

Europa: Krisen als Chancen

Eins der großen Tabuthemen bleibt Geld - egal ob man reich oder arm ist. Wer über Geld redet, hat keins? Über Geld spricht man nicht, man hat es? Aber was ist, wenn man mal viel hatte und alles verlor? In seinem berührenden Memoir beschreibt der Journalist Alexander Hurst, wie er innerhalb weniger Monate 1,2 Mio Dollar verdiente und schlagartig wieder verlor. Er zeichnet ein Porträt von unserer spätkapitalistischen Gesellschaft und unserem Verhältnis zu Geld und geht Fragen nach, die uns alle bewegen um Finanzen, Gemeinschaft und was es bedeutet, ein sinnvolles Leben zu führen. Wir leben in Zeiten großer finanzieller Paradoxe: Bildung, Gesundheitsversorgung und geographische Reisefreiheit sind in den letzten Jahrzehnten für immer mehr Menschen zugänglich geworden. Aber anders als die Babyboomer leben Millennials und die Generation Z häufiger von Gehaltscheck zu Gehaltscheck. Das Schulden-Einkommens-Verhältnis steigt, genauso wie die Angst vor Altersarmut. Gleichzeitig schwebt über allem das Versprechen vom großen Aktiengewinn. Die Trading-Apps der letzten Jahre haben Zugangsbeschränkungen egalisiert und das Phänomen der Amateur-Händler hervorgebracht. Die Finanzwelt lädt zum Spiel ein: "passives Einkommen", "sein Geld für sich arbeiten lassen", sind die Traumvorstellung vieler (junger) Leute, die ihre Zeit anders verbringen möchten als im klassischen Nine-to-five-Job. Genauso Alexander Hurst, der im Meme-Stock-Hype 2020 dem großen Geld hinterherjagte und während der Corona-Pandemie ein kurz das Millionärs-Dasein erleben konnte. Doch welche Freiheiten bringt Geld wirklich? Welche Auswirkungen hat es auf Freundschaften, Prioritäten und Werte? Stehen individuelles Streben nach Geld und die Schaffung von Gemeinschaft im Konflikt miteinander? Und wann ist viel genug?Von Hannah Arendt über Thomas Piketty bis hin zu bell hooks lässt Alexander Hurst Philosoph*innen und Wissenschaftler*innen zu Wort kommen und verwebt gekonnt Gesellschaftliches, Politisches und Persönliches. Mit großer Erzählkunst schafft er eine moderne Parabel über Geld - und über uns.
