Abstract:
The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a massive infrastructure and development project that has significant economic and political implications for both China and Pakistan, as well as the wider region. This paper aims to explore the political dimensions of CPEC and their potential implications for regional geopolitics. The paper begins by providing an overview of the project's economic dimensions and its significance for China and Pakistan. It then delves into the project's political dimensions, examining how it fits into China's broader Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and its potential implications for Pakistan's strategic position. The paper also discusses the concerns that have been raised about the project's impact on regional tensions, particularly between India and Pakistan. Furthermore, the paper examines the environmental impact of the project and its potential implications for the fragile ecosystem of Balochistan. Finally, the paper concludes by summarizing the key political dimensions of CPEC and highlighting the need for careful monitoring of the project's impact on regional geopolitics and the environment.

Abstract:
China and Turkey are two countries exerting relevant global influence, both politically and economically. Their influence in Albania lies in several dimensions including economic, political and cultural dimensions. The purpose of the present study was to assess and compare perceptions of the economic, political and cultural influence of Turkey and China in Albania. It was hypothesized that Turkey would be rated higher across all dimensions. Methodology Participants were 80 young adults, all members of the political forum FRESSH. They were aged between 17 and 32 years old (mean age= 23.76 years, SD=3.67 years), 51.3% of the sample was female while 48.8% male. The instrument was a self-report questionnaire assessing attitudes of youth as regards the influence of non-European countries such as Russia Turkey and China in Albania. Results and conclusions: Politically engaged youth perceive a moderate influence from Turkey, mainly in the economic dimension, and less in the political or cultural dimensions. Although Turkish influence is perceived as stronger than Chinese influence, the two countries are not perceived as strong barriers to European Integration.

Abstract:
This paper brings theoretical and empirical contributions to the scholarship on dimensions of politics in Europe. On the theoretical side it emphasizes the differences between Western and Eastern countries; we argue that while in Western Europe the main dimension of political conflict is the economic left-right, in Eastern Europe the main dimension is more likely to encompass cultural issues associated primarily with what in the Western literature is known as the secondary, social left-right. We trace the origin of the difference to the 1990s when parties in Eastern Europe chose to emphasize cultural issues to appeal to an electorate unfamiliar with capitalist economics and dissatisfied with the economic left associated with Communism and the economic right associated with painful reforms. To test this assertion we apply the Optimal Classification vote scaling method to an original dataset of over 24,000 votes from 22 European parliaments; the statistical tests support the hypothesis.

Abstract:
This article reviews the empirical evidence and theoretical arguments for central bank independence, including political economy considerations. It concludes that the optimal institutional framework to keep inflation lastingly under control is based on granting independence to central banks and establishing price stability as the overriding objective of monetary policy. This framework — combined with appropriate appointment procedures, a sound governance structure and a well-defined monetary policy strategy of the central bank — would ensure price stability. Finally, public support for central bank independence also matters. In this respect, the central bank has a special role in nurturing a stability-oriented culture in society.

Abstract:
This study analyses how the Family Empowerment and Welfare Mobilization (PKK) team plays a significant role in increasing village tourism development in Pujon Kidul, Malang Regency, East Java Province, Indonesia. We highlighted women's empowerment by categorising the social, economic, and political dimensions that contribute to the success. Using the case study method, we investigated the phenomenon in tourism development from 2011 to 2023 (12 years). Data was collected through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders to reveal the extent to which women have been “cracking their glass ceiling” in the three dimensions. The finding reveals that the PKK team could accommodate women's interests and actualise their aspirations and initiatives by promoting community movement (social dimension), allowing them to join SMEs and upskilling programs (economic dimension), and involving them in drafting village development plans and budgeting (political dimension). This study contributes to the literature on women’s empowerment, especially in the social, economic, and political dimensions of tourism development.

Abstract:
European politics is increasingly being contested along two dimensions: the economic left-right dimension and a relatively new dimension focused on European integration and immigration. We test this framework at the party and individual-levels in the European Union. First, we use the Chapel Hill Expert Survey to demonstrate that there is no simple relationship between these dimensions at the party level in many European Union countries, and in fact the two dimensions are increasingly orthogonal. We then use the 2019 European Elections Study to show that the transnational-nationalist dimension significantly improves vote choice models relative to models that ignore this dimension. Even more striking, the transnational-nationalist dimension is not just significant, but actually improves vote choice models as much or more than the economic left-right dimension.

Abstract:
European states, including Belgium, have looked at the construction of Europe through an economie and a political prism. Both dimensions have evolved following parallel paths. In Belgium a large consensus has always existed concerning the economie dimension of the European construction. In this respect Belgiums post-1945 European policies area direct continuation of the interwar efforts to build a West-European economic area, based on a free trade philosophy and a rejection of economic nationalism which always handicapped small trading states such as Belgium. Even before the second world war the Belgian elite thus accepted the principles of economic multilateralism.In the political dimension however a consensus on a federal Europe only emerged at the end of the seventies. Till then, important parts of the Belgian political elite remained sceptical and even hostile to the construction of a supranational Europe, based on a traditional view on political autonomy and independence. The reasons why Belgian views on the political dimension of Europe slowly shifted to a federal objective were partly domestic and partly the result of the growing awareness that a small countries' political interests in the world can be best pursued through supranationality.

Abstract:
The hypothesis underlying this research is that Africa's leaders are under a moral/political imperative to summon the will to develop a capacity to intervene in conflicts, possibly with external assistance, but without direct extra-continental intervention. This begs two questions. Is Africa right — politically and morally – to assume this task? And should the rest of the world, particularly the traditional intervening powers, accept and/or promote and/or assist African self-pacification? A trend toward subsidiarity and the regionalisation of conflict management in the African context followed reversals for United Nations and Western policy in the early 1990s, notably in Somalia and Rwanda. In the wake of these setbacks the universal impulse to intervene wherever necessary was overshadowed by a particularist/relativist position that distinguished Africa and African conflicts as cases apart. This translated in theoretical terms to a switch away from a cosmopolitan position allowing of international intervention to a communitarian position that promotes the African 'community' or African sub-regional 'communities' as the primary loci for addressing conflict. The continental organisation, the Organisation of African Union (0AU), has been hampered in assuming this task by its strict Charter adherence to state sovereignty and non-intervention in the internal affairs of its member states. As a result the logic of subsidiarity devolved on Africa's sub-regional organisations, in particular the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC). However, these organisations have found development of a security framework problematic, suffered from internal rivalries and have been hindered by paucity of funds and logistics. Interventions undertaken under the auspices of these bodies have often been of dubious legitimacy under international law. Viewed from the perspective of the 'just war' tradition these interventions also invariably seem morally suspect. Unwilling to intervene directly, the United States, France and Britain have established a joint initiative to enhance peacekeeping capacity in Africa. This project, under funded and ill considered, has proven inadequate from the perspective of both African participants and its sponsors. The research examines two case studies — intervention by the OAU in Chad in 1980-1982 and the peacekeeping operation undertaken by ECO WAS in Guinea-Bissau in 1998-1999. These cases confirm that existing mechanisms are ineffective for addressing African intra-state conflict. Moreover, they show that extra-African involvement remains an enduring feature of conflict on the continent. A return to the universal/cosmopolitan impulse in terms of international intervention in African conflicts seems unlikely in the short to medium term. In view of this neglect Africa must continue the project of self-pacification. The West is under a moral duty to set aside narrow national interests and expand and improve its existing peacekeeping capacity enhancement programme.

Abstract:
The concentration of wealth and resources under the control of a privileged few – the elites – has shaped the ways we perceive modern societies and the ways we study ancient states. Elite groups feature prominently within the archaeological research of ancient Maya societies, not least because of the monumental architecture associated with them and the glyphic inscriptions providing us with their names and titles. The growth of an elite class through time led to the emergence of multiple elite households coexisting, sharing, and competing for the political powers within ancient Maya polities. This thesis investigates the dimensions and relationships among various elite households excavated at the ancient Maya site of El Zotz, Petén, Guatemala. The key facets of the social, economic and political networks at the site are identified through trends in consumption behaviour by five different populations through time. Theories of value underpinning the current work state that various types of objects carried different ‘values’ which ultimately affected the ways these objects were distributed within societies, and determined which population groups were granted access to distribution networks. The consumption behaviour of elites and the distribution networks at El Zotz are investigated through the study of ceramic remains. Typological and modal analyses of El Zotz pottery employed in the current research highlight the extent to which limited access to goods existed within ancient Maya societies. Multiple lines of quantitative, statistical and qualitative analysis of El Zotz ceramics prove that various households at the site had access to the distribution networks of ‘high-value’ objects, but the accumulation of wealth across elite compounds changed through time. Therefore, the elite lineages of El Zotz experienced various socio-economic shifts, much like other sites in the Petén region, which affected their ability to accumulate wealth at different points in history.

Abstract:
In the context of Canada’s publicly funded universal health care system, access to potentially life-saving and/or life lengthening orphan drugs costing anywhere from $100,000.00 to $850,000.00 per patient per year is a complicated matter. This study is an anthropological examination of the debates surrounding ‘expensive drugs for rare diseases’, a term that has come to represent the costly treatments developed for rare metabolic diseases like Mucopolysaccharidosis, Pompe Disease, Fabry Disease, and Phenylketonuria. This study was conducted in British Columbia, Canada. It is based on several months of participant observation in hospital, industry, and patient advocacy contexts, as well as 14 semi-structured interviews conducted with the different stakeholders in the debate: patients and families, health care professionals, representatives of the provincial government’s Ministry of Health, pharmaceutical companies, and patient advocacy groups. This study looks at discussions of authority, responsibility, and rights to health care/health technology. It examines how complex systems of relationships shape these discussions in a particular time and place, and how the competing cultural models of publicly funded health care and profit-based pharmaceutical policy and industry operate in the context of extremely expensive drugs. The body of literature on orphan drugs in the social sciences/humanities is very underdeveloped, and there are no known comprehensive social scientific/ethnographic studies of the metaphors, constructs, and cultural context of debates surrounding orphan drugs/expensive drugs for rare diseases. This study attempts to fill some of these gaps by looking at the complexities of different stakeholder arguments and their structural and discursive context. In attempting to reconcile and solve the problems of accessibility to EDRD, the different stakeholders directly implicated in the debate mobilize culturally shaped notions evidence, accountability, fairness, and responsibility. This study demonstrates that the problems, pitfalls, and provisional solutions articulated by the different people implicated in this debate throw in to relief the many contradictions between orphan drug policies, neglected diseases, drug regulation/assessment practices, and the relationship between pharmaceuticals and society. These frameworks and competing cultural models are creating tensions that may be irreconcilable with a publicly funded health care system.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This report seeks to investigate the extent and success of multilateral foreign aid aimed at poverty alleviation in two countries, Angola and Zambia. Links between aid, economic growth, and poverty alleviation are also investigated. It is found that aid alone cannot create economic growth in order to alleviate poverty, and growth from aid alone is not sustainable - as the case study of Zambia shows. In Zambia, aid did not have enough impact to change the legacy of unsound economic polices, as the institutions that led these processes lacked the capacity to design sound policies to manage the aid projects. In the case of Angola, the whole process of using aid for poverty alleviation was seriously retarded by the civil war. The war is clearly one of the major causes of the poverty that exists in Angola - unlike in the case of Zambia where poverty is a chronic situation. As poverty alleviation is critical to both these countries, they should concentrate on empowering the poor with capacity-building skills, and multilateral aid should promote this. In terms of aid agreements with multilateral institutions, conditions must be in place before aid is granted to promote the interests of the poor. Well-designed aid can be successfully implemented, and can be sustainable. However, this will work only if all stakeholders from the bottom to the top are actively involved in the planning through to the implementing stages. Apart from empowering the poor, government and multilateral agencies also need to encourage the growth of the private sector in these two countries.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie verslag stelondersoek in na die omvang en sukses van multilaterale hulpverlening aan Zambië en Angola wat gemik is op die verligting van armoede. Die verband tussen hulpverlening, ekonomiese groei en armoedeverligting word ook ondersoek. Daar word bevind dat hulpverlening nie outomaties aanleiding gee tot groei -plus-armoedeverligting nie, en dat ekonomiese groei wat op hulpverlening gebaseer is, onvolhoubaar is, soos Zambië illustreer. In Zambië kon hulpverlening nie daarin slaag om swak ekonomiese beleid reg te ruk nie, vanweë die gebrek aan institusionele kapasiteit. In die geval van Angola was pogings om hulp te benut vir armoedeverligting ernstig in die wiele gery deur die burgeroorlog, een van die hoofoorsake van armoede in Angola. Aaangesien armoedeverligting "n kritiese uitdaging vir albei state is, moet die armes bemagtig word deur kapasiteitsbou, en multilaterale hulp moet daarvoor geoormerk word. Dit impliseer dat hulpverleningsooreenkomste aan voorwaardes wat die armes bevoordeel, onderworpe moet wees. Goed-ontwerpte hulp kan suksesvol toegepas word, en kan volhoubaar wees. Dit voorveronderstel egter dat alle belangegroepe aktief betrek word. Naas die bevordering van die belange van die armes, moet die privaatsektor in albei state ook verder uitgebou word.

Abstract:
How a country is perceived by foreign investors is becoming increasingly significant to the ability of individual countries to attract foreign direct investment into their economies. In Africa, existing negative perceptions of the continent as an investment destination have been considered as an obstacle for foreign direct investment inflows to the continent in general. Although Zimbabwe offers foreign investors multiple lucrative investment opportunities, attracting foreign direct investment to the country presents a unique challenge due to the image of the country post the 1998-2008 economic crisis. Despite the vast research on the determinants of foreign direct inflows to particular countries, little is known about whether non-financial image-related factors influence the inflow of foreign direct investment to a particular country, especially a country with a unfavourable global image like Zimbabwe. The primary objective of this study was therefore to determine the perceived non-financial nation brand image factors considered to be influential for attracting specific foreign direct investment inflow opportunities in Zimbabwe. A comprehensive literature review resulted in the identification of nine independent variables (tourism, governance, people, culture and heritage, exports, investment and immigration, factor endowments, infrastructure, and legal and regulation frameworks), as well as four dependent variables (market-, resource-, efficiency- and strategic asset-seeking foreign direct investment inflow opportunities in Zimbabwe). A hypothesised model was developed in order to examine whether the independent variables have an influence on the dependent variables, and as a result nine hypotheses were formulated to test the relationships between the nine independent variables and each of the four dependent variables. A cross-sectional, quantitative deductive approach to research was employed in order to generate the data required for hypothesis testing. Purposive sampling techniques were employed to draw the sample frame for the study. A self-administered online survey was conducted, and generated empirical data from a final sample comprised of 305 investors who had applied to invest in Zimbabwe through the Zimbabwe Investment Authority between January 2009 and April 2015. Data was analysed using STATISTICA 12 software. Exploratory factor analysis was utilised to extract the constructs and validate the measuring instrument. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were calculated in order to test the reliability and internal consistency of the measuring instrument. As a result, a total of six valid and reliable independent variables, and four dependent variables were retained for further analysis. The results of the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients revealed mostly moderate correlations. The Multi-Collinearity diagnostics test confirmed the absence of collinearity between the independent variables and dependent variables respectively. Subsequently, the results of the four sets of multiple regression analyses, disclosed thirteen statistically significant relationships between the six independent variables and the four categorical dependent variables. Tourism had significant relationships with market-, efficiency- and strategic asset-seeking FDI inflow opportunities. Government actions had significant relationships with resource- and strategic asset-seeking FDI inflow opportunities. People had significant relationships with resource- and efficiency- seeking FDI inflow opportunities. Export had significant relationships with market-, resource-, efficiency- and strategic asset-seeking FDI inflow opportunities. Regulatory framework had significant relationships with market- and resource-seeking FDI inflow opportunities. The results of the Analysis of Variance revealed that investor status can be used to predict which non-financial nation brand image determinants played a role in the ultimate decision for taking up foreign direct investment opportunities in Zimbabwe. Further analysis of the role that the demographic profiles of the investors played in predicting which non-financial nation brand image determinants are considered influential in taking up foreign direct investment opportunities in Zimbabwe was confirmed in the Multivariate Analysis of Variance with thirty-four statically significant relationships identified. Further analysis by means of post-hoc Scheffé testing and Cohen’s d-values calculations confirm that thirty-nine practically significant mean differences were evident. This study makes a novel contribution to the empirical body of nation branding, foreign direct investment and investment promotion research by developing and testing a hypothetical model that synthesises facets of the three fields of study. This study represents a new discourse in the identification of the determinants of FDI (that being non-financial determinants) and provides an explanatory framework for the non-financial nation brand image determinants influencing each type of FDI inflow opportunity sought in Zimbabwe. It is within this framework that recommendations, based on empirical evidence, are made for the Government of Zimbabwe and the Zimbabwe Investment Authority. Some of these recommendations could be implemented within the short-term, while others may be more strategic in the long term. Recommendations made include that the Government of Zimbabwe undertakes significant policy reviews, continues its engagement with key external stakeholders such as other governments, supra-national financial institutions, and foreign investors, as well as adhering to existing favourable FDI policies. It is also recommended that the Zimbabwe Investment Authority adopt an intermediary role, by linking the Government of Zimbabwe with potential foreign investors through investor targeting, as well as promoting Zimbabwe as an investment destination by engaging in image-building activities such as public diplomacy, investor relations, specialised advertising and hosting investor forums with multiple, distinct investor segments. These image-building activities should be centered on the non-financial nation brand image determinants that foreign investors consider to be influential to foreign direct investment in Zimbabwe, and should be geared towards improving and managing the perceived image of Zimbabwe as an investment destination.

Abstract:
Abstract Each aspect of the interview data underscores how combining housing and climate policies intertwines economic, social, and ecological sustainability dimensions. Integration is challenged by the silo effect, the scarcity of resources and the multidisciplinary nature of the issue. To integrate the policy sectors, we must be prepared to change social behaviours, economic structures, and regulatory frameworks. Changes in economic structures can happen inter alia in the form of a green or circular economy. To prepare for the future altered by climate change and its continuing and increasing risks, climate change adaptation must be better included in housing and climate policies and their integration.

Full text
Abstract:
This article explores the evolving concept of the "aquafood system", a term that encompasses the production, distribution, and consumption of aquatic products while prioritizing sustainability and food security. The paper provides a comprehensive semantic analysis to clarify the role of this term in both Ukrainian and global contexts, emphasizing its relevance amid rising aquaculture activities and the pressing need for food security. Recognizing the diversity and complexity of aquafood systems, the author employs latent semantic analysis (LSA) to dissect its underlying dimensions – ecological, economic, technological, and socio-political. Through extensive literature review and empirical data, the study identifies key thematic components such as resilience, economic efficiency, and inclusivity.This research reveals significant connections between aquafood systems and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in fostering climate resilience and promoting socio-economic equity. Methodologically, the study integrates conceptual, comparative, and discourse analysis to highlight how the term "aquafood system" shapes management strategies across scientific, political, and social realms. The findings underscore the importance of inclusive policies and technological innovation to support small-scale producers, strengthen resilience, and reduce inequalities.Concluding with a call for more precise definitions and interdisciplinary approaches, the article contributes to advancing the theoretical and practical understanding of aquafood systems, supporting policymakers and stakeholders in developing resilient and sustainable food systems. Future research is recommended to further refine the concept and explore actionable frameworks for managing aquafood systems in alignment with international standards and SDGs.

Abstract:
The Sri Lankan economic crisis, which escalated dramatically in 2022, marks a pivotal moment in the nation’s history, stemming from a combination of internal mismanagement and external shocks. The crisis is primarily rooted in excessive foreign debt and fiscal mismanagement, particularly following significant tax cuts in 2019 that drastically reduced government revenue. This led to soaring budget deficits as the value-added tax was cut to 8% and corporate tax was reduced from 28% to 24%. Consequently, the Central Bank resorted to printing money, resulting in inflation and currency devaluation. Additionally, poor agricultural policies, notably an abrupt shift to organic farming that banned chemical fertilizers, caused widespread crop failures and increased reliance on food imports. The COVID-19 pandemic further strained the economy by devastating the tourism sector, a crucial source of foreign currency. Coupled with geopolitical tensions from the Russia-Ukraine war, these factors culminated in Sri Lanka declaring its first-ever sovereign default in April 2022. The ensuing economic turmoil sparked widespread protests, leading to significant political changes, including the resignation of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa. In response to the crisis, Sri Lanka sought international assistance, securing a $2.9 billion bailout from the IMF in early 2023. The socioeconomic impact has been severe, with poverty rates surging and challenges for micro, small, and medium enterprises exacerbated by reduced consumer spending power. The purpose of this study is to analyse the 2019 Sri Lankan economic crisis and its repercussions on India from a political, economic, and social standpoint. It aims to comprehend how trade, investment, and regional economic dynamics in India were impacted by Sri Lanka’s financial instability. The study also looks at the political ramifications, such as diplomatic reactions and changes in Indo-Sri Lankan relations strategy. Social effects, such as migratory patterns and labour market disturbances, are also investigated. This study intends to emphasise the larger regional ramifications of Sri Lanka’s crisis and provide insights into India’s policy actions and future initiatives by conducting a thorough examination

Abstract:
The relevance of this article is due to the fact that the modern world-system has plunged into a state of extreme instability, the next era of global turbulence has already begun, which in historical retrospect led to the deployment of large-scale wars. Today, when the world-system once again stands on the threshold of the unfolding of crisis-militaristic phases of its cyclical development, taking into account the accumulated nuclear arsenal and, in general, the level of development of military technologies, it is necessary to resolve the aggravated inter-country and inter-civilizational contradictions peacefully in order to preserve the achieved level of civilizational development and to achieve the goals of sustainable development in the future. The purpose of this article is to explore, in the context of military-economic cyclicality, the prospects for sustainable socio-economic development and to justify the need for comprehensive demilitarization. Methods: we applied the institutional and cyclical conjuncture methodology, including the logical-historical and dialectical method, as well as general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction. The scientific novelty is contained in the following research results: the essence of military-economic cycles is determined, the role of their crisis-militaristic phases in the cyclical dynamics of the capitalist world-system is substantiated; shows the increasing militarization of the economy, the industrialization of war and the economic policies of military Keynesianism; it has been revealed that the cyclical nature of wars is clearly manifested in the deployment of such global cycles of capitalism as Kondratiev cycles, long cycles of world politics, cycles of hegemony; the need for demilitarization of the economy and public consciousness is substantiated to achieve the goals of sustainable socio-economic development.

In VI International Conference on European Dimensions of Sustainablе Development, 466–73. National University of Food Technologies, 2024. https://doi.org/10.24263/edsd-2024-6-52.

Full text
Abstract:
The article examines issues related to the existential challenges of the modern world in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war. The emphasis is placed on the consistency and insidiousness of the use of methods and forms of influence in the introduction of imperial narratives that are directed not only against the Ukrainian identity, the sovereign right of the Ukrainian people to have its own state, but also against the entire civilized world. According to the researchers, this was largely due to complacency of democratic countries with the liberal democracy achievements, the existing confidence in the benefits of the acquired economic stability and the inexpediency of major wars in modern conditions. The current state of Russian society, bellicose Russian diplomacy and the aggressive policy of the Russian leadership contradict the existing basic European values and democratic freedoms. The scenario of Russia's disintegration into separate independent states, which would deprive it of its imperial status and reduce its aggressive potential, is crucial for improving the political situation in the world and ensuring Ukraine's own strategic security. In this way, the entire civilized world will be liberated from the permanent threat of a new war which will have a positive impact on creating the necessary conditions for Ukraine's political and economic development in the context of building a sovereign European state.

Full text
Abstract:
Per capita income and income distribution are defined as classical Kuznets curve. From this view, the relationship between per capita income and income distribution is controlled variables and studies that take environmental pollution, financial depth, or trade volume into account are widely seen in the literature according to the study objectives. Respectively, these applications can be named first as environmental Kuznets and secondly as financial Kuznets. As parallel to this view, the studies that emphasize the relationship between export and income distribution are common in the literature, representing economic liberalization. It is also worth noting that political liberalization whether political rights or civil liberties, supports the trend that emerges like the Kuznets’ curve, according to the level of development of the countries. In this study, when the level of national development is taken into consideration, the relationships between per capita income and economic and political liberalization practices have been tested with econometric tests, whether they follow a classical, environmental, commercial or financial Kuznets-like situation. In addition to the classical, environmental, commercial and financial Kuznets, the existence of the “political liberalization practices” will be discussed in the literature in order to overlap the theoretical expectations and the results of this study. In the analysis of the 2012 horizontal cross-section of the country group with the highest Gini coefficient, Kuznets' “inverse U” view is reflected in both commercial and political liberalization dimensions.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract: The term ‘care’ was introduced into societal debates in the early 1980s with the writings of Carol Gilligan, Janet Finch and Dulcie Groves, and later Joan Tronto. The notion of care associates an individual and moral disposition (taking an interest in others) with an idea of activity (helping, taking care of others) mobilizing the individual, collective and institutional levels. Such behavior lies outside the paradigm of economics based on the logic of homo oeconomicus. In line with what anthropologists are telling us today, it goes beyond the pursuit of individual interest and calls on the logic of giving and the community dimension of the human being. The economy of care and meaning thus integrates two dimensions that conventional economics ignores. On the one hand, the idea of gift and gratuity, and on the other, the consideration of the common good. The economy of care and meaning, beyond its economic dimension, thus calls, in a transdisciplinary perspective, on other academic fields: sociology, anthropology and political science.

Full text
Abstract:
Climate issues have altered power relations and become a political problem in the field of political science and international relations. Since the 1980s, climate debates have problematized and contributed to redefine the boundaries between national and international politics, hierarchies between economic and environmental priorities, and connections between human and natural dimensions, thus intervening in the definition of modes of regulation and conflict resolution nationally and globally. Therefore, climate change has also led to debates on the role of the State, international organizations, economic operators, corporations, and CSOs. Climate change has become a fundamental issue in the contemporary world, in all dimensions of social life, from local to global, affecting the way knowledge is produced and taught in various disciplines, including political science and international relations. This article introduces the Special Issue on ‘The Politics and Policies of Climate Change in Brazil’, addressing the subject from the perspective of political science, political sociology and international relations.

Vlaicu, Razvan. Inequality, Participation, and Polarization: Economic Origins of Partisan Policies. Inter-American Development Bank, November 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0005264.

Full text
Abstract:
The upward co-movement of income inequality and partisan polarization in the United S is typically attributed to intensified class conflict or a political wealth bias. This paper formalizes a theory of polarization where changes in the income distribution do not affect citizens' policy preferences, but instead change their patterns of political participation: aggregate voting decreases relative to aggregate giving, reducing the electoral penalty for partisan policies. By endogenizing party composition, the model captures both the ideological and compositional dimensions of polarization, and addresses less-discussed polarization features, such as intra-party homogeneity and the increase in safe seats. According to the model, observed polarization patterns imply that parties have diverged more than candidates, and that the gap between party and candidate divergence has increased with income inequality.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper explores the economic and political dimensions of post-Karimov state-building in Uzbekistan. It suggests that while Shavkat Mirziyoyev’s reform agenda has led to considerable economic reforms, the country’s political system, plagued with a myriad of authoritarian malpractices has largely remained untouched. In effect, Uzbekistan remains inherently authoritarian, with lack of a robust opposition and civil society. It concludes that the depth and sustainability of Uzbekistan’s economic reforms considerably depend on broader democratic reforms, including the fight against corruption and advancement of a vibrant civil society.

Abstract:
The article seeks to investigate the EU crises impacting electoral support for new right-wing and left-wing extremist ideologies with populist characteristics. We examine populist political parties’ performances in national elections in 15 Western European countries to understand better the current state of specific and diffuse Euroscepticism (Kopecky & Mudde, 2002). Finally, we confirm that Euroscepticism increases in periods of crisis and can be identified as expressions of those contesting EU policies related to the economy, specifically, or social and political integration when it encompasses a more generalized attitude against the EU.

Abstract:
The emergence of the novel coronavirus has altered the political agendas in the Western Balkans as well. Although governments introduced strict measures relatively early, the hasty reopening of borders and (early) elections soon resulted in a relapse. The second wave of the pandemic might hit the economy less but the price in human lives increased. Accordingly, the countries must face with the economic and societal consequences of their poor health systems and political decisions. This analysis will briefly introduce the health, political and socioeconomic dimensions of the pandemic crisis, while also evaluate the role of the EU and other external actors, as well as Hungary played during the epidemic.

Full text
Abstract:
This study describes the main actors (formal and informal) involved in the budget-making process in Ecuador, and presents evidence regarding the main political and economic determinants of fiscal performance. It also discusses whether different political and institutional arrangements governing the budget process affect incentives for the composition of the budget. This paper seeks to fill a gap in the scholarly literature by analyzing the formal rules, incentives, and coalition dynamics of the relevant budget players behind the process of design, approval, execution, and oversight of budgets. The current research agenda requires a systematic analysis of the different arenas and stages in which budgets are made. The variable of interest is the quality of budget outcomes, a composite notion that seeks to evaluate four dimensions of budget performance: whether budgets allocations are representative of the interests of the majority, are sustainable over time, are efficiently allocated, and can be adaptable to changing economic circumstances. The paper tests the validity of the proposed analysis of budget dynamics in Ecuador, a country where major political and economic transformations of recent years, including the adoption of considerable constitutional reforms in 1998 and the move to dollarization in 2000 should have altered the representative, efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability of budget outcomes.

Measuring the Political Economy of Tax Lawmaking: A Methodology and Evidence from Argentina. Inter-American Development Bank, December 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0011521.

Full text
Abstract:
Although recent research has shed new light on the political determinants and economic consequences of tax lawmaking, existing analyses rely on coarse data measuring political aggregates. Consequently, little is known about the political processes determining how tax legislation is written or their effect on the nature of tax reforms. This paper therefore develops a methodology to examine how Congress edits the content of tax legislation by measuring the ways Deputies, Senators, Presidents, and Ministers propose and amend such legislation. The Legislative Substance Scale proposed here measures the distance between a bill's original position and the actual outcome of the legislative process by comparing the differences in content according to coding of the main tax policy dimensions. The scale is used to build the first systematic database of tax lawmaking in Argentina, and to describe its general patterns of authorship, approval and substantive content across presidencies in the current democratic period.

Much like the 2008 financial crisis, the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic will likely shape historically underserved communities for decades to come. Now, more than perhaps ever before, community development organizations (CDOs) will be central actors and foundational institutions for sustainable economic growth. Our data suggest social capital is important for CDO capacity across multiple dimensions. Given the central role CDOs will likely play in rebuilding local economies in the wake of the pandemic, we highlight how these organizations can use social capital to maintain and build political, resource, network, and organizational capacity.

This paper presents a rational political budget cycle model for an open economy, in which devaluations are delayed in the pre-election period so as to increase the electoral chances of the party in office. By concentrating on closed economies, previous political cycle models had overlooked the influence of elections on the behavior of exchange rates. Voter uncertainty is introduced in two different dimensions. Not only are voters uncertain regarding the competency of the incumbent, but they also ignore the degree to which the incumbent is opportunistic.

Gutierrez, Eylla Laire. Exploring Women’s Participation and Empowerment in Tourism Areas in the Philippines. Philippine Institute for Development Studies, January 2025. https://doi.org/10.62986/pn2025.03.

Full text
Abstract:
The growing involvement of women in the tourism industry highlights opportunities for empowerment within the sector, ultimately promoting an inclusive environment in broader Philippine society. This Policy Note urges the perception of empowerment to extend beyond economic aspects, advocating for the strengthening of women’s psychological, political, and sociocultural dimensions. By analyzing women's experiences in the tourism industries of Metro Manila, Cebu, and Palawan, the study found that while they exhibit psychological and political empowerment, economic and social empowerment remain uneven due to factors such as seasonal employment and persistent gender stereotypes. Hence, this Note suggests a more proactive approach to reevaluating the sociocultural environment in which women operate in tourism. It recommends reintroducing gender studies in education to encourage discussions in both private and public spheres. Moreover, it highlights the importance of establishing gender gap indicators and documenting women’s success stories as valuable avenues to achieve holistic empowerment.
