Central and Eastern Europe
The collapse of communism in 1989 paved the way for the reunification of the continent. This book analyzes the impact of the different dynamics of change since 1989 on public policy and on various economic and political sectors.
The Politics of Destruction
When applied to social science, psychoanalytic concepts make it possible to analyze totalitarian action and its derivative, authoritarian action, by highlighting what such regimes have in common: the destruction of frames of reference for space and time; their replacement of those reference points with a restrictive “surreality”; and the assignation of individuals in the social space in terms of the love or hatred attributed to them by those in power. Whether in Stalinist Bolshevism, posited here as the matrix of the “totalitarian personality”; in its extreme form of totalitarianism with the Islamic State; or in a more diluted variant in the Polish ruling party ‘Law and Justice’ (PiS), each is characterized by the negation of temporal and spatial distance, and therefore by the negation of causal links, displacement and transformation of experience. These components are specific to the unconscious which, in dreams as Freud considered, acts upon factual datum, denies it, and reproduces it in another way, one that conforms more closely to the dreamer’s desires. For this reason, the politics that arise from these regimes have much in common with a hallucination.

Emerging Capitalism in Central Europe and Southeast Asia
This book examines the emergence of different forms of capitalism in Central-Eastern states in Europe and Mekong states within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). All of them (but Thailand) have historically disappeared from the regional maps for long periods of time due to colonial or imperial rule. Most of them were previously members of a soviet-type economy, and they all joined ASEAN or the European Union in the 1990s or in the 2000s. These states are characterized by a strong urge toward feelings of national sovereignty due to their experiences with colonialism and imperialism. But, due to the regional economic pressures and the globalization dynamic, these states cannot...
Resilient States from a Comparative Regional Perspective
Organizations such as ASEAN and EU were formed to promote economic growth, social progress and cultural development among their members. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the transformation which the newest members of ASEAN (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Laos) and the newest members of EU (ten new Members from Baltic, Central and Eastern Balkan regions) have experienced during the last two decades (1990–2010). It throws light on the different social, economic and political causes which support these historical changes. Emerging markets such as the Mekong region and Central Europe where new forms of capitalism are flourishing have been captured in this book. Their policies in pri...
Government-Linked Companies and Sustainable, Equitable Development
The debate over how far governments should intervene in economies in order to promote economic growth, a debate which from the 1980s seemed settled in favour of the neo-liberal, non-interventionist consensus, has taken on new vigour since the financial crisis of 2008 and after. Some countries, most of them in industrialised Asia, have survived the crisis, and secured equitable economic growth, by adopting a developmental state model, whereby governments have intervened in their economies, often through explicit support for individual companies. This book explores debates about government intervention, assesses interventionist policies, including industrial and innovation policies, and examines in particular the key institutions which play a crucial role in implementing government policies and in building the bridge between the state and the private sector. The countries covered include China, India, South Korea, Malaysia and Taiwan, together with representative countries from Europe and Latin America.
Privatising the State
'The essays in Privatizing the State are among the most original, provocative, and useful assessments of the intersection of public and private power thatI have read in the last decade.' Professor Elizabeth Blackmar, Columbia University

Analyse l'impact des dynamiques de transformation de 1989 à 2006 sur les politiques publiques et sur les secteurs économiques et politiques. Propose une approche en termes de conflits, d'alliances et de ressources.

L'européanisation d'Ouest en Est
Cet ouvrage met en évidence les processus identitaires, les réseaux d'acteurs et les contextes institutionnels à la base des différentes dynamiques d'adoption et d'adaptation des règles européennes par les pays est-européens. Plusieurs exemples tirés du champ social, de l'examen des situations des minorités ou encore des stratégies municipales illustrent ces différents processus.
Capitalismes émergents
Les pays qui ont rompu avec le colonialisme ou le communisme inventent de formes nouvelles de capitalisme : prébendier, d'État socialiste, libéral, post-colonial et, plus rarement, de marché. Malgré l'absence d'institutions et de sources de développement endogènes, ils tirent leur force de l'ouverture de leur marché aux investissements étrangers ouverture conditionnée par des négociations avec les ensembles régionaux que sont l'UE et l'Asean.Comparant plusieurs trajectoires nationales en Europe de lEst et en Asie du Sud-Est à différentes périodes de lhistoire, cet ouvrage examine les interactions entre le marché, la bureaucratie et les formes de domination politique. Il montre comment se construisent les marchés économiques sous leffet de la violence exercée par les coalitions politiques, souvent en relation avec des partenaires étrangers.
