Abstract

Debt as power is a timely and innovative contribution to our understanding of one of the most prescient issues of our time: the explosion of debt across the global economy and related requirement of political leaders to pursue exponential growth to meet the demands of creditors and investors. The book is distinctive in offering a historically sensitive and comprehensive analysis of debt as an interconnected and global phenomenon. Rather than focusing on the historical emergence of debt as a moral obligation, the authors argue that debt under capitalism can be conceived of as a technology of power, intimately tied up with the requirement for perpetual growth and the differential capitalization that benefits ‘the 1%’. Their account begins with the recognition that the histories of human communities and their natural environment are interconnected in complex spatial and hierarchical relations of power and to understand their development we need to not only examine the particularities of a given case, but more importantly their interconnected, interdependent and international relations. Since debt under capitalism is increasingly ubiquitous at all levels of society and economic growth is now the sole mantra of dominant political parties around the world, the authors argue that tracing the evolution and transformation of debt as a technology of power is crucial for understanding the ‘present as history’ and possible alternatives to our current trajectory.

Abstract

Is the euro area getting closer with regard to business cycles? The study investigates the linkage between business cycle convergence and financial portfolio choice for a panel of 18 European countries. For this purpose an index is constructed which measures the similarity of investment portfolios. The idea is that financial portfolio choice has an impact on business cycles and contributes to convergence via the consumption-wealth linkage. The background of the analysis is the International Asset Pricing Model (IAPM). The results of fixed effects GMM TSLS estimations confirm the linkage. The e

Abstract

Malawi is among the few countries in sub-Saharan Africa that has witnessed significant improvements in relation to meeting the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) targets. It exhibits some of the main challenges facing African democracies while they attempt to consolidate the benefits of democratisation. Political Transition and Inclusive Development in Malawi critically analyses opportunities and constraints related to the impact of democracy on development in one of the world’s poorest countries. The book explores how, and to what extent, processes related to democratic and economic governance can be strengthened in order to make political and administrative authorities more responsive to development needs. It also considers characteristics of successful implementation of public policy and the effective and timely delivery of basic services in local contexts; increased citizen participation and dialogue with local government authorities; factors that enable civil society organisations to hold political and administrative officials to account; and better utilisation of academic research for improved evidence-based policy formulation and implementation. This volume will be of great interest to scholars in development studies, African studies, politics, law and anthropology, as well as policymakers and those interested in democracy, governance, human rights and the implementation of anti-poverty programmes, development administration and decentralisation.

Abstract

La trajectoire de Wilfrid Baumgartner tout au long du XXe siècle a été celle d'un financier, au double sens que le mot a hérité de l'Ancien Régime : technicien des choses de l'argent et serviteur de la chose publique. Inspecteur des Finances, directeur du Trésor, gouverneur de la Banque de France, ministre des Finances, président de Rhône-Poulenc, le cas Baumgartner éclaire pour la première fois à cette échelle biographique la figure du grand commis à la française, de la crise de la Ille République aux années sombres de Vichy, de l'instabilité politique de la IVE' République aux ruptures du régime gaulliste. Cette étonnante continuité de l'homme est aussi celle de l'État en France dans la période. Elle est analysée ici à travers les profondes mutations qu'a connues, des années 1920 aux années 1970, le système financier français (monnaie, Trésor, banques et crédit), tant du point de vue des modalités changeantes du financement de l'activité économique que de celui de la place et du rôle de la France dans le système monétaire international, notamment dans le contexte de la construction européenne. Une hypothèse à visée globale sous-tend cette traversée de l'histoire de la France contemporaine : celle de l'institution par étapes, flux et reflux, d'une économie d'endettement en France, clef d'un certain modèle économique (et social) qui aura marqué en profondeur le siècle passé. « Un homme d'État... Non ! Un homme de l'État. Cette formule de l'auteur, bien venue, situe tout à la fois la personnalité de Baumgartner et son aura, avec les questions originales qu'elles nous posent » Jean-Noël Jeanneney. Wilfrid Baumgartner’s path throughout the 20th century was one of a financier, in both senses of the word inherited from the Ancien Régime: monetary technician and public monies servant. Baumgartner’s career covered Inspector of Finance, Head of the Treasury Department, Governor of the Banque de France, Minister of Finance and Managing Director of Rhône-Poulenc. This…

Abstract

In a context best characterized by uncertainty and volatility, it is necessary to rethink the key concepts and assumptions underpinning the broad debate on international business. In brief, the world is more interconnected than ever, yet—as the cases of COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine confirm—supply chains are not immune to developments in politics and society. Other factors weigh in on the analysis too. Moreover, as the context in which businesses operate is ever more competitive, traditional approaches to building a competitive edge and succeed in foreign markets need to be reconsidered. Talent management might be the missing link. Hence, this book makes a case for a more direct engagement of the research community with this topic.

Abstract

Entre 1789 et 1815, tout le nord-ouest de l’Europe continentale passe, à la faveur des conquêtes et des annexions, sous contrôle français. Densément peuplé et en cours d’industrialisation rapide, ce territoire se prévaut également d’une tradition négociante qui a fait sa richesse. Ces multiples attraits expliquent la présence de manieurs d’argent privés, à l’image du négociant lillois François-Charles Briansaux, attirés par les multiples affaires à conclure à l’intérieur de ce grand marché en construction et pour partie protégé de la concurrence anglaise par le « blocus continental ». Ils sont rejoints par les fonctionnaires financiers chargés « d’exporter » le système fiscal français dans les 130 départements du Grand Empire. On veut alors croire à l’efficacité d’une administration unique et aux vertus d’un fisc égalisateur, sans pourtant faire disparaître certaines spécificités locales, reflet des temporalités et modalités de la conquête. En portant une attention particulière aux relations réciproques entre l’ancienne France et les départements réunis, entre Paris et Lille, Bruxelles, Amsterdam ou Hambourg, ce livre éclaire la façon dont s’articule à l’intérieur d’un territoire, celui des routes septentrionales, le mouvement combiné des affaires privées et de la finance publique. From 1789 to 1815, the entire north-west of continental Europe came under French control secured by conquests and annexations. This densely populated and fast industrialising region boasted a trading tradition that was the source of its wealth. These many advantages attracted private businessmen, like Lille’s François-Charles Briansaux, drawn by all the deals they could make on this huge market under construction and protected in part from English competition by the Continental System. They were joined by financial officials tasked with “exporting” the French tax system to the 130 départements of the First French Empire. This gave shape to a single efficient administration with the…
