Wealth, Development, and Social Inequalities in Latin America
In this book, Hans-Jürgen Burchardt and Irene Lungo-Rodríguez lead a transdisciplinary team of experts to advance our understanding of wealth in Latin America. Combining conceptual discussions with empirical research, they analyze characteristics of wealth, and the implications for inequality. Three thematic sections provide a unique overarching structure to understand the economic, social, political, and cultural complexity of wealth. Questions examined include: What economic, institutional, and structural factors contribute to the excessive accumulation of wealth? What political dynamics promote the concentration of wealth and power? What type of social, political, and economic relations are generated in these contexts of extreme wealth concentration? What socio-cultural processes contribute to legitimizing and reproducing wealth? What are the local, regional, and national socio-ecological effects of these dynamics? Wealth, Development and Social Inequalities in Latin America provides thought-provoking reading for students and researchers alike who wish to look beyond the Global North for answers on the importance of studying wealth.
Global Rentier Capitalism
Recent work on rent and rentierism has offered a distinctive and fresh approach to understanding and explaining contemporary capitalism. Drawing on political economy, economics, geography and sociology, this research has brought together distinct theoretical traditions in original and fertile ways to reshape the study of issues related to class, political-economic change and environmental challenges. This book critically engages with these theoretical resources to analyse and evaluate economies in the Global North and South. It offers historical, theoretical and empirical accounts of rentierism, making important cross-disciplinary and global connections. Its four parts address global rentier capitalism under the headings of historical lessons, theoretical developments and empirical studies of rentierism in the Global North and South. It will be the first book of its kind to offer a global account of rentier capitalism. It will be of immense interest to readers in economics, political economy, sociology, geography and development studies.

Umwelt und Entwicklung in globaler Perspektive
Umweltpolitische Themen gewinnen an Bedeutung für die internationale Politik. In der Praxis erscheinen ökologische Bedenken gegenüber dem Wachstumsimperativ jedoch oft als Papiertiger. Dieses Buch diskutiert am Beispiel der Rohstoffpolitik die politischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Konsequenzen einer intensivierten Rohstoffausbeutung sowie die damit verbundenen sozialökologischen Konflikte. Außerdem werden Vorschläge für Alternativen zum dominanten Wachstumsmodell analysiert und Anregungen für eine Neujustierung des Entwicklungsbegriffs gegeben.
Der Staat in globaler Perspektive
Im 21. Jahrhundert zeichnet sich eine Renaissance des Entwicklungsstaats ab: Wurde er zuletzt als korrupt und autoritär verschmäht, wird nun eine Ausweitung von Staatstätigkeiten sichtbar, die neue Wirtschafts-, Sozial- und Entwicklungspolitiken hervorbringt. Der Band analysiert die Muster der neuen Entwicklungsstaaten in transregionaler und vergleichender Perspektive.
