Studies in Economic Transition

The Path of Hungary's EU Membership

Navigating Sovereignty, Dependence, and Economic Development

This book examines the evolution of trade and trade patterns in Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC) and assesses the implications of these patterns on structural change and economic development within transition economies. Taking the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989 as a starting point, the authors discuss the transition of former communist CEE countries from centrally planned to market-driven economies, arguing that trade was the primary engine for the economic growth and transition process they experienced. The chapters in this book incorporate the results of previous studies – some of which are based on original research conducted by the authors – dedicated to the integration process of international and European trade. More importantly, the authors look at the broader aspects of structural change and economic development, indeed the whole process of economic transformation. Thus, the book moves well beyond the core ‘trade and growth’ framework to look at technologicalprogress, foreign investment, institutional development and structural change in Central and Eastern European countries.

Central and Eastern Europe

Trade, Development and Structural Change

This book, a third edition, has been significantly expanded and updated. It revisits the process of institutional change: its characteristics, determinants and implications for economic performance. New chapters address the significance of Post-Communist transition, the differences and importance of initial conditions in institutional building, and, social norms, values, and happiness. Other chapters have been expanded to include, for example, a focus on the Washington consensus, commentary on the 2008 financial crisis, state capacity and corruption, and&nbsp;new findings on redistribution and inequality.<div><div>

Central and Eastern Europe Revisited

Economics of Institutional Change

This book provides a fully revised and up-to-date analysis of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). With four entirely new chapters on responses to the financial crisis and the debate on reform options, Tomann assesses the EMU in comparison with other currency regimes through the adoption of a historical analysis. The book discusses in detail basic issues with currency and comprehensively analyzes monetary policy, highlighting problems of policy coordination. Tomann explores new monetary institutions that have been established in response to the financial crisis, before addressing long-term issues and reviewing reform proposals. By focusing on monetary issues the book offers a better understanding of macroeconomic policies and international policy cooperation, and, by extension, provides a thorough economic assessment of the EMU as an institution as it stands today.

A second edition of&nbsp;Money Integration in Europe&nbsp;with a new focus on the European Monetary Union crisis Addresses the burden of public debt Assesses the reform options for the EMU

The European Monetary Union after the Financial Crisis

Monetary Integration in Europe

This book examines how Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam can provide instructive case studies of how Southeast Asia has negotiated pathways of development beyond crises and traps. At two ends of just one decade, 1997–2007, these five countries all&nbsp; weathered the shocks of an East Asian financial crisis and a global financial crisis. Some economies might have buckled completely under those shocks and been condemned to long-term stagnation. Yet these economies emerged with continued if slower economic growth.&nbsp;&nbsp;An important theme of this book is that their resilience has been partly derived from the pursuit of growth and competitiveness along lesser known pathways. The chapters of this book take a novel approach to South East Asia’s search for growth and improvement. They provide original insights into actual cases of intermediate ways of achieving growth, upgrading and income improvement in non-privileged sectors. Such cases hold more relevant lessons for the majority of developing countries than the experiences of highly developed economies.

Written by area studies specialists whose assessment is informed by expert grasp of South East Asia’s complex economic, social and political conditions and historical realities Thoroughly explores five core case studies in the region and examines lessons to be learnt from them Starts with a methodological reflection on the measurement of emerging economies, provides a historical overview and outlines a clear research agenda

Economic Growth and Upgrading

Southeast Asia beyond Crises and Traps

This book examines how foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows to Central and Eastern Europe have changed after the Great Recession. It argues that beyond their cyclical effects, the economic crisis and the changing competitiveness of Central and Eastern European countries have had structural impacts on FDI in the region. FDI has traditionally been viewed as the key driver of national development, but the apparent structural shift means that focusing on cheap labour as a competitive advantage is no longer a viable strategy for the countries in the region. The authors argue that these countries need to move beyond the narrative of upgrading (attracting FDI inflows with increasingly higher value added), and focus on ensuring greater value capture instead. A potential way for doing this is by developing the conditions in which innovative national companies can emerge, thrive and eventually develop into lead firms of global value chains. The book provides readers with a highly informativeaccount of the reasons why this shift is necessary, as well as diverse perspectives and extensive discussions on the dynamics and structural impacts of FDI in post-crisis Central and Eastern Europe.

Post-crisis Perspectives

Foreign Direct Investment in Central and Eastern Europe

The book deals with the key aspects of social and economic inequalities developed during the transition of the formerly planned European economies. Particular emphasis is given to the latest years available in order to consider the effects of the global crisis started in 2008-2009.

Poland is one of Europe's economic out-performers. The country's history and geography encourage it to be in favour of deeper European integration. This book aims to contribute to discussions on the future shape of EMU and the next steps ahead.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) assumed a prominent role in Central East Europe (CEE) early on in the transition process. Foreign investors were assigned the task of restructuring markets, providing capital and knowledge for investment in technologically outdated and financially ailing firms.

This volume discusses the political economy of energy transition in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region. Viewed through the lens of emerging progressive movements with energy at the forefront, the book explores how so-called Energia Progresiva can act as a driving force to address climate challenges, foster sustainable development, and ease the transition to a knowledge-based economy, setting the course for the future of Latin America and the Caribbean. Analyzing diverse contexts and realities faced by different countries in the region, it examines potential challenges and obstacles, opportunities, and policy implications.

Chapters in the volume are organized around three unifying themes. Chapters in the first section provide an intertemporal analysis of energy transition in selected countries in the LAC region. Chapters in the second section discuss the paradoxical relationship between regional energy insecurity and natural resource abundance. The final section looks toward the future and the expected evolution of the region's energy industry.

This volume will be of interest to researchers and students of the Latin America and Caribbean energy landscape as well as development practitioners and business consultants working on energy and infrastructure projects in the region.

Interest Groups, Advocacy and Democracy Series

This book examines the strategies employed by business interest groups in response to the challenges posed by the global financial crisis of 2008-9. Drawing on evidence from Switzerland, it assesses three policy areas – financial regulation, tax policy and corporate governance – to illustrate the long-term dynamics of advocacy strategies, and the ways in which these groups navigated the complexities of the post-crisis landscape by adapting their coalitions. The book demonstrates that business interest groups employed both direct and indirect advocacy strategies to navigate the crisis, highlighting the importance of perceived legitimacy for these groups. It will appeal to all those interested in policy-making, interest groups, political science and financial regulation. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Laura Gatto is Researcher at the Swiss Graduate School of Public Administration, University of Lausanne, Switzerland.&nbsp;

How States Respond to Crisis

This book argues that the West is in economic decline due to three interrelated factors, described as the Guns-Oil-Oligarchy nexus. It explains how the rise of the West as the world's current hegemon has resulted in an ecological overshoot, the rise of neoliberalism and its slash-and-burn model of continuous growth, extraction, expansion and conquest. With this model pushing against planetary boundaries, threatening ecological disaster, and depleting many resources the Guns-Oil-Oligarchy nexus has deepened its stranglehold on society. &nbsp;This book then dissects the Guns-Oil-Oligarchy nexus. First it describes who the Oligarchs are and how they expand and consolidate their power and influence, and stifle innovation, undermine democracy, hinder responses to climate change, and contribute to militarization and conflict. Secondly, the book explains how Oil has been essential for the economic rise of the West and how it will feature in its decline. Third, the book identifies the rise and influence of the West's Military-Industrial Complex (MIC) as contributing to the West's economic decline. It is shown that the MIC constitutes an oligarchy and, like all oligarchies, uses lobbying, campaign contributions, and control of the mainstream media to expand and consolidate power. Silicon Valley's integration into the MIC is also examined, driven by the search for new profit opportunities as traditional markets become saturated.This book shows why the Guns–Oil–Oligarchy&nbsp;nexus is a simple explanation for the West's economic decline, and how its understanding offers a simple solution to avert further economic decline: the oligarchs' grip must be broken.Wim Naudé is Visiting Professor at RWTH Aachen University, Fellow at the ASC, University of Leiden, and Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Johannesburg.

Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems

This open access book delves into the intersection of ecological, technological, and social dynamics at the core of urban transition and the relevance of urban planning and design in addressing the pressing challenges faced by cities and regions in the 21st century. This book is held at "Networks, Markets &amp; People" Communities, Institutions and Enterprises toward&nbsp;post-humanism epistemologies and AI challenges, May 22-25, 2024, Reggio Calabria, Italy. The papers included in the book follow two main drivers. The first&nbsp;is dedicated to discussing the concept of ecosystem services exploring the role of policy and governance mechanisms in promoting the integration of ecosystem services into urban planning and design practices. The second presents various data-driven perspectives, methodologies, frameworks, and case studies for measuring ecosystem services in cities, ranging from traditional methods to cutting-edge digital mapping and modeling techniques. The book primarily targets academics, researchers, and students (undergraduate, postgraduates, Ph.D. students) providing interesting insights on the topic that can be useful for urban planning and design course in the urban studies, architecture, and engineering fields. It targets also policymakers, experts, professionals, and consultants active in the urban planning and design field involved in managing the transition of regions and cities&nbsp;

Ein Konservativer im Aufbruch – oder auf Abwegen? In einer Zeit, in der autoritäre Regime an Einfluss gewinnen, wünschen sich viele Menschen einen Konservatismus, der das Land stabilisiert, aber auch dem rechten Rand die Stirn bietet. Ist Friedrich Merz ein solcher Konservativer? Welche Art von Politik ist von ihm zu erwarten, national wie international? Mariam Lau – die Journalistin, die Merz am besten kennt – zeichnet in ihrem Buch ein aktuelles, lebendiges Porträt, das die vielen, mitunter widersprüchlichen Facetten des neuen Bundeskanzlers greifbar macht.

Können wir uns auf diesen Kanzler verlassen? DAS Buch, das Merz erklärtDie Republik ist nervös und zerstritten – und sie sieht sich stärker werdenden inneren und äußeren Feinden gegenüber. In einer Zeit, in der autoritäre Regime weltweit an Einfluss gewinnen, sehnen sich viele Menschen nach einem Konservatismus, der sowohl das Land stabilisiert als auch den Autoritären die Stirn bietet. Aber ist der neue Kanzler ein solcher Konservativer? Oder ist auch Friedrich Merz auf dem Weg dahin, alte Gewisseheiten der parlamentarischen Zusammenarbeit zu zerschlagen, um schnelle Antworten auf die geopolitischen, wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit zu liefern? Kann er große Zukunftsthemen vorantreiben, die Europa stärken? Wie geht Merz mit dem Reizthema Migration um - mäßigend oder eskalierend? Und was hat all das mit seinem persönlichen Werdegang zu tun? Niemand kann diese Fragen besser beantworten als Mariam Lau, die Friedrich Merz seit Jahren als Berichterstatterin bei der&nbsp;ZEIT begleitet.&nbsp;

In order to overcome the geo-economic challenges of the present, the European Union has developed the concept of Open Strategic Autonomy, which aims in particular to strengthen the European Union's ability to be resilient and assertive in the international community. But what exactly does Open Strategic Autonomy imply? The answer to this question is essentially based on an analysis of the European Union's foreign trade law instruments and their interaction with each other. Young scholars and practitioners examine these instruments as well as the theoretical foundation and limits of Open Strategic Autonomy in the multi-level system.
