Aspirational Iconography
Contemporary Financial Nationalism in Theory and Practice
The 2008 global financial crisis and its aftermath provided fertile soil for criticism of and alternatives to the international liberal order, including the rise of financial nationalism. Contemporary financial nationalism is a view of the world that is nationalist in its motivation for political action, financial in its policy focus, and illiberal in its conception of political economy. At the same time, it is fundamentally shaped by its emergen…
Bent into Submission? Domestic Investors and Populist Governments
Do populist governments bend their economic policies to the preferences of bondholders? Populist governments should be a “least likely” case for the market discipline hypothesis. Populist parties typically run on platforms that scapegoat wealthy elites as “enemies of the people” and hence should be more resistant to changing policy positions in the face of market pressure, given their reluctance to alienate their base. Employing most-different ca…
Addressing the effectiveness of health literacy programs within the Gulf Corporation Council
Health literacy is an increasingly required need to help individuals, families and communities manage their health and health conditions. It is linked with better self-adherence to treatments, use of resources, access to care and overall reduced costs in healthcare. In the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which comprises Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, various health literacy programs are implemented across…
The Harawayan Bee Hotel
The notion of the Anthropocene has become a popular (and contested) term to describe the times we live in; among other things, it alerts us to the damage mainstream Western-centred anthropocentrism has wreaked on nature: in so doing, the Anthropocene signals that for life as we know it to continue, a more sustainable relationship with nature must be urgently implemented. The article will discuss a project that emerged as part of a teacher educati…
Territory, Place, Flow, and Scale
We assess the presence and use of the geographical concepts of territory, place, flow, and scale in the International Political Economy (IPE) literature on trade. While IPE scholars have arguably responded somewhat to earlier calls to embrace geography, the uptake remains limited. Relatively few articles incorporate such concepts explicitly and tend to ignore critical scholarship on these ideas. After summarizing the theoretical dimensions of ter…
Macroprudential Policy on an Uneven Playing Field
Central bankers and financial regulators in East Central Europe and the Balkans regularly employed macroprudential policy before the global financial crisis and continue to be among its most active proponents in the European Union. We draw upon the Dependent Market Economy framework to explore how the EU's five DMEs – the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia – have used macroprudential policy to manage the uneven distributional …

Confederate monuments and the problem of forgetting
Those advocating the removal of US Confederate monuments have generally relied on the claim that because the ideas these monuments represent (i.e. White supremacy) have no legitimate place in political discourse, the monuments should be removed from public space. While we share this normative position, experiences while teaching our interdisciplinary undergraduate course on Memory, Place, and Power forced us to interrogate our reflexive desire to…
Adding rooms onto a house we love
This article examines the extent to which central bankers have been willing and able to rethink their beliefs about monetary policy in the wake of the global financial crisis. We show that despite the upheaval, the core pre‐crisis monetary policy paradigm remains relatively intact: central bankers believe that they should primarily pursue price stability through targeting a low inflation rate in a transparent manner, and that they need operationa…
Religion and Identity in Modern Russia
Focusing on the roles of Russian Orthodoxy and Islam in constituting, challenging and changing national and ethnic identities in Russia, this study takes Tsarist and Soviet legacies into account, paying special attention to the evolution of the relationship between religious teachings and political institutions through the late 19th and 20th centuries. The volume explicitly discusses and compares the role of Russia's two major religions, Orthodox…

Currency Crises in Post‐Soviet Russia
Currency crises have been a recurrent feature of Russia's post‐Soviet experience. This article examines three episodes of sudden and sharp ruble depreciation in 1998, 2008, and 2014–16. We examine these crises and their political consequences as iterative episodes in the Russian government's ongoing efforts to deal with its structural dependence on energy revenues and international capital flows. We argue that the 1998 crisis and the Russian gove…
Full Issue
This article examines the Community Foundation of Southeast Michigan's launch of a broad-based, multilayered strategy to promote youth leadership in the region, and showcases what can be accomplished when foundations invest in such strategies. In partnership with the University of Michigan School of Social Work and the Dorothy A. Johnson
Financial nationalism and its international enablers
Viktor Orbán and his centre-right Fidesz party won Hungary's April 2010 parliamentary elections in a landslide, running on a nationalist-populist platform of economic self-rule. This paper explores Hungary's financial nationalist turn and its surprisingly successful resistance to IMF and EU pressures to change course. We open by theorizing financial nationalism, and then trace its ideational roots and contemporary character in Hungary. We subsequ…

The future of international political economy
An anniversary issue provides an inescapably inviting opportunity to reflect on the past, evaluate the present, and contemplate the future. Eschewing the self-congratulatory rhetoric of traditional anniversary celebrations, we have devoted this 20th anniversary issue of RIPE to contributions that critically examine the academic discipline of international political economy, focusing on our collective challenges and limitations as much as on our a…
Security and atonement
Visitors are subject to extensive access-control procedures at the open but as-yet unfinished World Trade Center (WTC) memorial site. This is in sharp contrast to the open plaza envisioned in Michael Arad's finished design. We argue that rather than being merely a pragmatic security measure or a distraction from the memorial, such access-control can be best understood as a public ritual of atonement for the security failures that led to the 9/11 …
Experimental study to investigate the impact of a patented soluble plant fibre complex Omtec19® (ObesimedTM) on food intake and appetite ratings in women
Monumental Politics
This article looks at collective memory formation—the study of monuments, memory, and public space—through a political science lens. An explicit theoretical focus on power relations in "monumental politics" and a methodological approach featuring large-N comparative analysis are combined to examine the process of monument creation, destruction, and alteration. Using a new database on monuments in 26 post-communist states over a 25-year period, pa…
Uneven Integration
Although central and eastern European states widely adopted central bank independence in the 1990s, many later baulked at meeting the Maastricht criteria and adopting the euro. We employ two key variables – regime and institutional discontinuity at the domestic level and the credibility of international institutions' policies – to explain these different responses to the requirements of economic and monetary union
Strategic Culture and Weapons of Mass Destruction
Naming Our Reality
At a Welfare Warriors Research Collaborative (WWRC) meeting we were pooling evidence of homeless shelter staff abuses. Dwayne Bibb, a co-researcher and shelter resident who identifies as African American, gay and gender nonconforming, described coming home one night and seeing two residents beating up a third in front of the building. Frightened, Bibb walked a large arc around them and at the entranceway, Bibb told the shelter guards about the fi…
Discovering Mahler
Forbidden fruit
At the turn of the twenty-first century, Russia entered into a unique relationship with the US dollar: it became the only major country with both a highly dollarized economy and extensive dollar reserves. Russia also played a pivotal role in the international gas and oil markets, where resources are priced in and sold for US dollars. This paper argues, however, that three trends had converged by 2006 to challenge the US dollar's pre-eminence in R…

Post-totalitarian national identity
Through a comparative analysis of Germany and Russia, this paper explores how \nparticipation in the memorialization process affects and reflects national identity formation \nin post-totalitarian societies. These post-totalitarian societies face the common problem of \nre-presenting their national character as civic and democratic, in great part because their \nnational identities were closely bound to oppressive regimes. Through a comparison of…

This means that a whole layer of national cultu…

Path Contingency in Postcommunist Transformations
The surprisingly peaceful revolutions that swept the Soviet Union and eastern Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s seemed to present a golden opportunity for institutional design. The economic and political institutions of state socialism had been discredited and discarded, and these countries sought to create a new set of institutions to underpin their emerging market democracies. Indeed, institutional change was the essence of the postcommu…

The remains of conditionality
When eight postcommunist states became European Union members in 2004, they committed to eventually joining the euro zone. But by 2005 the states' diverging preferences on pursuing rapid euro adoption had split them into ‘pacesetters’ (the Baltic states, Slovenia, and Slovakia) and ‘laggards’ (Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary). This contrasts starkly with their previous agreement on the desirability of EU membership. Why did the conditiona…
Two-track diffusion and central bank embeddedness
Post-communist Europe's increasing convergence with the European Union has generated contentious debate over the underlying impetus for this change. Did the material incentives and implicit coercion inherent in the EU accession process prod East Central European leaders onwards in their reform efforts, or did they adopt new institutions because of the deeper effects of persuasion and socialization? This article uses central banking to make two ar…

Landowner Perceptions of Protecting and Establishing Riparian Forests
While the ecological importance of riparian forests is widely recognized, identifying the best policies for reforesting privately owned stream lands also requires an understanding of societal perceptions. Forty semistructured interviews with riparian landowners in central Pennsylvania revealed a study population driven by competing considerations. On one hand, these landowners expressed a community obligation to consider the downstream consequenc…

Postcommunist Central Banks
Both proponents and detractors of central bank independence (CBI) view granting central bank independence as a domestic decision made for domestic economic reasons after domestic political consideration. However, postcommunist independent central banks began their lives burdened with a dual democratic deficit. Not only were they predominantly developed by and for international actors, but this rapid process occurred without building significant d…
Cotinine in the serum, saliva, and urine of nonsmokers, passive smokers, and active smokers
Cotinine was measured in the serum, saliva, and urine of nonsmokers, passive smokers, and active smokers. Serum and saliva could not discriminate between nonsmokers and passive smokers. Mean urine cotinine was higher in passive smokers than nonsmokers but there was a great deal of intersubject overlap. Cotinine in all body fluids could separate active smokers from the other two groups. Among smokers, light smokers had lower levels than heavier sm…

Should Russia adopt the Chinese model of economic reform
The numerous similarities between Russia and China make it intuitively attractive to examine the relevance of Chinese economic reforms to the troubled situation in Russia. In addition, Russia's wavering between Chinese and Western economic models is a real-world replay of two heated theoretical debates: first, between shock therapists and those who favor more gradual economic transformations; and second, between those who believe that economic re…

The Russian banking system
ACHIEVING LONG-TERM MACROECONOMIC STABILITY and building a market economy in Russia will be impossible without creating a coherent banking system that rations credit, controls the money supply and operates for profit. If the banking system cannot perform these tasks, the currency becomes undermined and the system cannot act as an effective intermediary between borrowers and creditors. The dire consequences of easy credit and other inflationary po…

Taking Care of Later Life
This paper reviews current policies and practices regarding the provision of long-term care for older people. In particular it focuses on three aspects which are central to social work and care management: current developments in residential and nursing home care; charging for care; and the shifting boundary between health and social care. It argues that, in all respects, these policies and the ways in which they are being implemented are incompa…
