This book links political and economic sociology examining how post-socialist property changes are rooted in the socialist past and how they relate to the meaning and practices of transition states and their capacity for sustainable economic development. It raises the issue of the applicability of Western institutions in the Eastern European context and the implications for the contemporary politics of European integration in which E.U. politics aim to smooth over the many divergences of its members.

Dieser Band enthält die Vorträge und Diskussionsberichte zur fünften Sommerakademie, die der Verein Academia Philosophia Iuris zusammen mit dem Institut für Grundlagen des Rechts der Universität Leipzig ausgerichtet hat. Er befasst sich mit dem Projekt eines unbedingten Grundeinkommens, wie es in allen politischen Lagern als Alternative zum Modell der Grundsicherung des geltenden Rechts diskutiert wird. Die Finanzierung des überkommenen Sozialversicherungssystems ist in Gefahr geraten. Es beruht auf Sozialabgaben, die an typischerweise auf Dauer angelegte Vollzeitbeschäftigungsverhältnisse anknüpfen. Da diese in Zeiten hoher Erwerbslosigkeit im Schwinden begriffen sind, werden immer mehr Menschen von staatlicher Grundsicherung abhängig. Je größer aber der Finanzbedarf, desto geringer wird die Akzeptanz der Steuerzahler, steigende Abgaben zu zahlen. Die 'Hartz-Reformen' haben in Reaktion auf dieses Dilemma die Anforderungen an die Bedürftigkeit und die Arbeitsaufnahme verschärft. Dies hat eine breite sozialpolitische Diskussion ausgelöst, die in den interdisziplinär angelegten Beiträgen dieses Bandes reflektiert und vorangetrieben wird.

"Notions of land and agrarian reform are now well entrenched in post-apartheid South Africa. But what this reform actually means for everyday life is not clearly understood, nor the way it will impact on the political economy. In the Shadow of Policy explores the interface between the policy of land and agrarian reform and its implementation; and between the decisions of policy 'experts' and actual livelihood experiences in the fields and homesteads of land reform projects. Starting with an overview of the socio-historical context in which land and agrarian reform policy has evolved in South Africa, the volume presents empirical case studies of land reform projects in the Northern, Western and Eastern Cape provinces. These draw on multiple voices from various sectors and provide a rich source of material and critical reflections to inform future policy and research agendas. In the Shadow of Policy will be a key reference tool for those working in the area of development studies and land policy, and for civil society groups and NGOs involved in land restitution." -- Back cover.

Throughout the twentieth century, the U.S. government willingly deployed power, hard and soft, to protect American investments all around the globe. Why did the United States get into the business of defending its citizens' property rights abroad? The Empire Trap looks at how modern U.S. involvement in the empire business began, how American foreign policy became increasingly tied to the sway of private financial interests, and how postwar administrations finally extricated the United States from economic interventionism, even though the government had the will and power to continue. Noel Maurer examines the ways that American investors initially influenced their government to intercede to protect investments in locations such as Central America and the Caribbean. Costs were small--at least at the outset--but with each incremental step, American policy became increasingly entangled with the goals of those they were backing, making disengagement more difficult. Maurer discusses how, all the way through the 1970s, the United States not only failed to resist pressure to defend American investments, but also remained unsuccessful at altering internal institutions of other countries in order to make property rights secure in the absence of active American involvement. Foreign nations expropriated American investments, but in almost every case the U.S. government's employment of economic sanctions or covert action obtained market value or more in compensation--despite the growing strategic risks. The advent of institutions focusing on international arbitration finally gave the executive branch a credible political excuse not to act. Maurer cautions that these institutions are now under strain and that a collapse might open the empire trap once more. With shrewd and timely analysis, this book considers American patterns of foreign intervention and the nation's changing role as an imperial power.
