Principles Of Political Economy

Systematic study for an understanding of the laws of political economy is to be found no farther back than the sixteenth century. The history of political economy is not the history of economic institutions, any more than the history of mathematics is the history of every object possessing length, breadth, and thickness. Economic history is the story of the gradual evolution in the thought of m…

A stock market theory of culture: a view from the Latin American neoliberal t…

Comparatively focusing on the cultural representations of two historic stock market crashes (fin de e`cle Argentina and Chile in the early 1980s), this article explores the stock market theory of alue that emerges out of a reactionary nineteenth century critique of exchange value and the so-called new economic paradigm based on Information technology. Keywords: Argentina; Chile; stock market…

While Indians had not been allowed to serve in New Spdn's armed forces in the late colony, in the new repuhlic the requirement that communities send some of their merr\bers for armed service becam…

Chinese Devils, the Global Market, and the Declining Power of Togo’s Nana-B…

This article examines the shifting representations of and discourses produced about Chinese salesmen and their collaborators in the small West African nation of Togo. It suggests that in this context representations of China’s so-called New Scramble for Africa are troublesome, namely because they tend to silence the role of Togolese women traders as producers and as central historical and eco…

Beyond The Ideology of ‘Civil War’: The Global-Historical Constitution of…

It is commonplace to characterise political violence and war in Africa as ‘internal’, encapsulated in the apparently neutral term ‘civil war’. As such, accounts of political violence tend to focus narrowly on the combatants or insurrectionary forces, failing to recognize or address the extent to which political violence is historically and globally constituted. The paper addresses this …

Renewable Energy Politics: Policy Typologies, Policy Tools, and State Deploym…

This paper investigates the competing forces driving the development of renewable energy in the American states. We formulate a framework of state renewable energy politics and develop a set of hypotheses regarding the role of politics, policies, and prices in renewable energy development. We test these hypotheses with a fixed effect vector decomposition model using a panel data set for the U.…

The article looks at China's economic relations with Africa as of 2013, focusing on the countries of Angola and Nigeria and on the institutional aspect of Chinese investments in African natural resource industries.

Before The Natural Resource Boon: Statecivil Society Relations And Democracy …

The article offers a cross-cultural analysis of the political and economic aspects of natural resource wealth, looking at the factors that play a role in determining whether a country with a significant petroleum or other extractive, natural resource-based industry will move toward authoritarianism or democracy. It notes that not all countries experience the political dysfunction associated wit…

The Asylum-Migration Nexus: Can Motivations Shape The Concept Of Coercion? Th…

The article looks at international migration, as of 2013. The authors present a case for the view that the distinction typically made between asylum seekers who have experienced forced migration and voluntary migrants who have moved for economic reasons is not entirely valid, failing to capture the often complex factors driving migration. They discuss the factors that led many Sudanese to becom…

The Impact Of Wfflg And Utlilitarian Philosophies On The Formative Phase Of L…

The article looks at public administration in India during the British colonial period, focusing on the contrast between the views of Governor-General Charles Cornwallis, influenced by political philosopher John Locke and the Whig approach, versus those of Madras, India, Governor Thomas Munro and others, influenced by the Utilitarian political philosophy of thinkers such as Jeremy Bentham. It d…

Los peligros del presidencialismo

The premise of this essay is that the superior historical performance of the parliamentary democracies is not accidental A careful comparison between parliamentarism and presidentialism as such leads to the conclusion that, on balance, the former is more conductive to stable democracies than the latter The conclusion applies especially to nations with deep political divisions and numerous polit…

Forged Communities and Vulgar Citizens: Autonomy and its L´ımites in Semine…

This article examines the impact of processes of political decentralization upon rural indigenous communities of the Bolivian highlands. Focusing on the creation of new rural municipalities, it traces the ways in which new imaginings and institutions of national civic life engage local modes of social production that have long entangled indigenous communities and subjects within the nation and …

Global Political Economy And The Power Of Multinational Corporations

The author looks at economic conditions in the developing countries as of 2013, presenting a critique of the role played by multinational corporations (MNCs) in international economic relations. He takes issue with the claim that MNCs support economic development by providing capital and transferring technology. He discusses the political influence wielded by MNCs, saying they undermine the sov…

The Human Message in Politics: The Impact of Emotional Slogans on Subtle Conf…

The present work directly tests the persuasive potential of emotions in political slogans. Previous research that distinguished emotions on the human dimension found that individuals conform differently to the opinion of members of the in-group or the out-group when these targets expressed themselves in terms of uniquely human emotions (Vaes, Paladino, Castelli, Leyens, & Giovanazzi, 2003). In …

The Remaking Of Leviathan: The State And Public Sector Reform In Advanced Cap…

This article argues that recent comparatives literatures on the welfare state have yet to adequately consider the public sector and how governments have reshaped their public services. Drawing on macrolevel data from the OECD, qualitative studies, and trade union research, it is claimed that governments have substantially remade their administrative and financial procedures in order to cut exp…

Need for Power, Collective Identity, and Political Skill: An Investigation in…

Research on power motivation and political skill suggests that high need for power individuals who are oriented toward others will be perceived by supervisors as being politically skilled. McClelland (1973) theorized that high need for power individuals who reflect an orientation towards others will be perceived more favorably than those who are geared toward their own self-interest. In an empl…

Participation in and Responsibility for State Injustices

This paper discusses the criteria for acceptably holding citizens partly responsible for wrongs their state or its agents commit. Some proposed criteria are not, it argues, appropriately sensitive to the particular coercive relation between state and citizen. Others, which are, conceive of it wrongly and fail to match our judgments about a range of cases. Alternative criteria of breadth and…

Purview and Permissibility: The Site of Justice and the Case of Private Racia…

If there is a “basic structure objection” (BSO) to G.A. Cohen’s incentive critique of Rawls, then there is also a BSO to claims that private racial discrimination thwarts social justice by reducing the opportunity of its targets. In this paper, I take up the debate about the site or purview of justice and discuss it with reference to the case of race. I argue that the dispute about th…

The Normative Creature: Toward a Practice-Based Account of Normativity

In this paper I offer a first account of a practice-based conception of normativity for the political domain. This standpoint is used to relocate the most sophisticated normative practices of justification and critique within an experience-based framework, that of the human being as a “normative creature.” I begin by discussing the two major paradigms in political theory, showing that t…

Autonomy-Based Accounts of the Right to Secede

Voluntarist accounts of secession are those that attempt to ground a moral right to secede in autonomy. This paper argues that no such account is likely to succeed. After describing the serious problems that plague the most straightforward Voluntarist approach, I examine two recent accounts that employ novel approaches designed to avoid those difficulties. I argue that both accounts fail, s…

Privacy and Punishment

Philosophers have focused on why privacy is of value to innocent people with nothing to hide. I argue that for people who do have something to hide, such as a past crime or bad behavior in a public place, informational privacy can be important for avoiding undeserved or disproportionate nonlegal punishment. Against the objection that one cannot expect privacy in public facts, I argue that I…

Effects of Concerns About Pathogens onConservatism and Anti-Fat Prejudice: Ar…

Threat perceptions are associated with politically conservative attitudes. Research has also found that specific forms of threat perception (e.g., concerns about pathogens) are associated with functional reactions (e.g., anti-fat prejudice). Recently, moral intuitions have been implicated in explaining political orientation: Liberals tend to place greater weight on “individualizing foundation…

Does the Defining Issues Test Measure Ethical Judgment Ability or Political P…

This article addresses the construct validity of the Defining Issues Test of ethical judgment (DIT/DIT-2). Alleging a political bias in the test, Emler and colleagues (1983, 1998, 1999, 2007), show that conservatives score higher when asked to fake as liberals, implying that they understand the reasoning associated with “higher” moral development but avoid items they see as liberally biased…

Party Politics, Governors, and Economic Policy

In this article, we evaluate the role of elections in governors' state tax policy making. Does it tnatter for state taxes whether the governor is a Democrat or Republican and whether she is eligible for re-election or faces a binding term limit? Using a Regression Discontinuity Design and a panel of U.S. states, we fmd that the manner in which governors of different parties implement differ…

“Completely Useless”: Exiling the Disabled to Tsarist Siberia

Abstract: The ostracizing of mentally and physically disabled individuals is a cross-cultural phenomenon that amounts to what Henri-Jacques Stiker calls a “murderous system,” which does not kill such individuals outright, but instead indirectly. This as well as Foucault’s notions about the construction of madness and deviancy serve as a departure point for understanding tsarist Russi…
