Die Internationale Politische Ökonomie (IPÖ) hat sich seit den 1970er Jahren zu einem lebhaften Forschungszweig entwickelt. Im Forschungs- und Diskussionsprozess treffen nicht nur Wissenschaftler aus unterschiedlichen Theorietraditionen und disziplinären Kontexten aufeinander, wie z.B. aus der Ökonomie, Politikwissenschaft, Geschichte oder Geographie. Auch der Gegenstandsbereich - die Transformation der internationalen Sicherheits-, Produktions-, Finanz- und Wissensstrukturen - lädt zu kontroversen Analysen und Interpretationen ein. In dem vorliegenden Studienbuch wird dargelegt, welche Fragestellungen, theoretischen Debatten und neuen Erkenntnisse die IPÖ prägen. Hierzu werden zunächst der Gegenstandsbereich und das Selbstverständnis der IPÖ genauer bestimmt, die Prämissen und Erkenntnisinteressen konkurrierender Analyseperspektiven heraus gearbeitet und die Merkmale spezifischer historischer Entwicklungskonstellationen identifiziert. Im Zentrum des Buches stehen dann die jüngeren Umbrüche in der internationalen politischen Ökonomie, d.h. die ökonomischen Globalisierungsprozesse, die Transformation transnationaler Macht- und Herrschaftsverhältnisse, Weltordnungskonflikte und neue Strukturen der Abhängigkeit sowie Regionalisierungstendenzen. Der Band endet mit einem Ausblick auf das Konfliktpotenzial globaler ökonomischer, sozialer und politischer Widersprüche.

A provocative argument that the frustrations of globalization stem from the gap between the expectations created and the lagging economic reality in poor countries.The enemies of globalization--whether they denounce the exploitation of poor countries by rich ones or the imposition of Western values on traditional cultures--see the new world economy as forcing a system on people who do not want it. But the truth of the matter, writes Daniel Cohen in this provocative account, may be the reverse. Globalization, thanks to the speed of twenty-first-century communications, shows people a world of material prosperity that they do want--a vivid world of promises that have yet to be fulfilled. For the most impoverished developing nations, globalization remains only an elusive image, a fleeting mirage. Never before, Cohen says, have the means of communication--the media--created such a global consciousness, and never have economic forces lagged so far behind expectations. Today's globalization, Cohen argues, is the third act in a history that began with the Spanish Conquistadors in the sixteenth century and continued with Great Britain's nineteenth-century empire of free trade. In the nineteenth century, as in the twenty-first, a revolution in transportation and communication did not promote widespread wealth but favored polarization. India, a part of the British empire, was just as poor in 1913 as it was in 1820. Will today's information economy do better in disseminating wealth than the telegraph did two centuries ago? Presumably yes, if one gauges the outcome from China's perspective; surely not, if Africa's experience is a guide. At any rate, poor countries require much effort and investment to become players in the global game. The view that technologies and world trade bring wealth by themselves is no more true today than it was two centuries ago. We should not, Cohen writes, consider globalization as an accomplished fact. It is because of what has yet to happen--the unfulfilled promises of prosperity--that globalization has so many enemies in the contemporary world. For the poorest countries of the world, the problem is not so much that they are exploited by globalization as that they are forgotten and excluded.

Hauptbeschreibung Der vorliegende Band der Studien zur Entwicklung der ökonomischen Theorie vereinigt die überarbeiteten Referate der 24. Tagung des Dogmenhistorischen Ausschusses des Vereins für Socialpolitik an der Universität Oldenburg, die sich mit dem Verhältnis von Ökonomie und Religion auseinandersetzte. Während die moderne Wachstumstheorie lange Zeit die Rolle sogenannter ""weicher"" Faktoren vernachlässigte, haben u. a. das rasante Wirtschaftswachstum im konfuzianisch geprägten China sowie die Anschläge des 11. September 2001 durch islamisch-fundamentalistische Terroristen

The series presents materials in two fields, the history of economic thought, and the methodology of economics, both broadly considered. The main annual volumes present articles comparable to what one would find in a journal, except that long pieces are welcome. Also presented are review essays on new works in the two fields, some of which are multiple reviews; plus occasional mini-symposia. The archival supplements present hitherto unpublished materials - lecture notes, papers, longer manuscripts, correspondence, etc.- of interest in the two fields. The series presents review essays, multiple reviews and mini symposia on new-works in this field. It includes volumes which are broad in scope. The series fills a substantial gap in this field.
