Unravelling The Persistence of Dollarization
This volume engages with the roots, dimensions, and implications of foreign currency domination in states with a national currency. Referred to as unofficial dollarization in literature, this is a worldwide phenomenon among developing countries and has a long history. This monograph provides a political economic analysis of dollarization in Georgia and is structured around three themes: the genesis of dollarization (1991–2003), the persistence of dollarization (2003–12) and the politicization of dollarization (2012–19). The case of Georgia is especially representative of the post-socialist transition states, but also has wider applicability. A high level of dollarization is a significa...

Voices from the Soviet Edge
Jeff Sahadeo reveals the complex and fascinating stories of migrant populations in Leningrad and Moscow. Voices from the Soviet Edge focuses on the hundreds of thousands of Uzbeks, Tajiks, Georgians, Azerbaijanis, and others who arrived toward the end of the Soviet era, seeking opportunity at the privileged heart of the USSR. Through the extensive oral histories Sahadeo has collected, he shows how the energy of these migrants, denigrated as "Blacks" by some Russians, transformed their families' lives and created inter-republican networks, altering society and community in both the center and the periphery of life in the "two capitals." Voices from the Soviet Edge connects Leningrad and Mosco...
Japan and the Growth-Equity-Small Government Impossible Triangle
This volume examines and analyzes the current situation of, and the future prospects for, the Japanese economy, particularly in the context of inequality. The country's economy is facing the ageing and the shrinking of its population, both of which will reduce the potential growth rate, which has already become very low. By introducing a new policy framework, namely the `Equity-Growth-Small Government Impossible Triangle', based on reviewing, comparing and contrasting the policies of the United States, the Nordic economies and Japan, the book proposes a policy direction that could be pursued by Japan. If Japan wants to sustain growth while preventing inequality to widen and preserve an egalitarian society, there is no other choice but to further promote globalization and innovation and, at the same time, surrender preserving a small government by reforming itself to become a dynamic and resilient welfare state. The volume will be an invaluable resource for students, professionals and researchers with an interest in economics, inequality, the Japanese economy and comparative economic policies.
Auf der Suche nach dem guten Leben
In welche lokalen, translokalen und transnationalen Netzwerke sind Menschen aus der ehemaligen UdSSR in Deutschland eingebettet? Wie konzipieren sie ein »gutes Leben« an einem neuen Ort? Und welche Rolle spielt dabei die Erfahrung des Lebens in der ehemaligen Sowjetunion? Nino Aivazishvili-Gehne nimmt die Lebenswelten solcher Menschen anhand des Beispiels der Stadt Osnabrück in den Blick. Der Schwerpunkt ihrer Analyse liegt auf der Rekonstitution von Gemeinschaft und der Gestaltung des individuellen Lebens nach der Emigration. Ihr ethnographischer Ansatz ermöglicht einen Einblick in den langfristigen Verlauf von Migrationsprozessen einer der größten Migrantengruppen in Deutschland – mit Erkenntnissen weit über die Fallstudie hinaus.
Dolarizaciones
Es conocido el rol que ha tenido el dólar norteamericano para afianzar la hegemonía de los Estados Unidos desde mediados del siglo XX, pero su conversión en una "moneda global" aún es un fenómeno que necesita ser comprendido. Dolarizaciones. Historias nacionales de una moneda global es el primer estudio transnacional que analiza cómo se desarrolló este proceso en diez países del Sur Global. El movimiento aquí propuesto es comprender cómo las dolarizaciones se convirtieron en capítulos centrales de la historia y el presente de Argentina, Venezuela, Ecuador, Cuba, Haití, El Salvador, México, Zimbabue, Vietnam y Georgia. En estos contextos nacionales, por un lado, el protagonismo d...
