Geopolitical Rivalry and the New Global Economic Geography
The geography of the global economy is being remade before our eyes. Trade disputes, export controls, and vast subsidy programs proliferate. At the sharp end of the wedge, naked geopolitical violen...
The Wind from the East
In recent years Europe has become a primary focus for Chinese investment. In the context of the rolling out of Chinese government plans such as its Belt and Road Initiative and ‘Made in China 2025’ industrial strategy, and the fact that many Chinese companies are either controlled or influenced by the Communist Party, major consequences for Europe's economic development — and its social, political and geopolitical corollaries — are now in train. …
China and European Innovation
While Europe has become the principal venue for new Chinese foreign direct investment, little of it has resulted in new (greenfield) production or research and development facilities. The bulk of this investment has been used to take over European companies, outstripping Chinese acquisitions in North America by 800 per cent. While some takeovers have been of insurance, sports, luxury goods and similar non‐strategic companies, many have been of in…

Patterns of Avoidance and Indirection in Athenian Political Satire
Sex, Anal
Anal sex with males and females, amply attested in Greece and Rome, was subject, especially for free males, to distinct normative and legal constraints that varied from place to place, changed over time, and did not always align with real-life behaviour but had basic elements in common. Since sexual attraction to both genders was considered normal, the main divisions concerned age, social status, and role: females and smooth males (boys 12–18) we…

Pherekrates and the Women of Old Comedy
Hesiod and Comedy
Comic dramas, attested as early as the later sixth century bce in Sicily and from ca. 486 bce in Attica, reflect familiarity with Hesiodic poetry from the time our actual documentation begins in the 470s for Sicily and 430s for Attica and into the mid-fourth century bce. Comic poets engaged with Hesiodic poetry at the level of specific allusion or echo and (more frequently) with Hesiodic stories, thought, themes, ideas, and style, now common cult…
Critical transformations and global development
This paper addresses the disconnection between current analyses of global development and 21st-century developmental realities. It argues for a reworking of the development sciences on the basis of ‘transformation analysis’, attending, in particular, to those phases in longer-term social change that it characterizes as periods of ‘critical transformation’. Taking ‘the global’ seriously as an analytical category, it argues for an innovative develo…
Thucydides and Attic Comedy
The Attic comic poets, despite their focus on celebrities and popular culture, their portrayal of Pericles as tyrannical, and their one-sidedly elite and rightist partisanship, nevertheless share with Thucydides an essentially coherent narrative of Athenian acme and decline after Pericles, exemplified politically by Cleon. Moreover, Thucydides often silently takes comic material into account when formulating his own narrative. This chapter examin…

Choral Mediations in Greek Tragedy
This volume explores how the choruses of Greek tragedy creatively combined media and discourses to generate their own specific forms of meaning. The contributors analyse choruses as fictional, religious and civic performers; as combinations of text, song and dance; and as objects of reflection in themselves, in relation and contrast to the choruses of comedy and melic poetry. Drawing on earlier analyses of the social context of Greek drama, the n…
Comedy in the Fourth Century II
"The Oxford Handbook of Greek and Roman Comedy marks the first comprehensive introduction and reference work for the unified study of ancient comedy. From the birth of comedy in Greece to its end in Rome, from the Hellenistic diffusion of performances after the death of Menander to its sympotic, artistic, scholarly, and literary receptions in the later Roman Empire, no topic is neglected. The result offers Hellenists an excellent overview of the …
Globalization with Chinese Characteristics
This article introduces a special issue on globalization 'with Chinese characteristics', but also makes its own contribution to the debates. It does so by focusing on the implications of China's rise for the nature and consequences of globalization as a distinct formation. It argues that globalization needs to be understood, in part, as the externalization of particular national forms of capitalism in particular historical periods. In this contex…

Greater China, the challenges of global production networks and the dynamics of transformation
The rise of 'greater' China (which includes mainland China, the 'special administrative regions' of Hong Kong and Macao and - particularly for our purposes - Taiwan), marks a transformative process in terms of the global political economy. China is now the world's second biggest economy, and continues to post double-digit growth despite the global downturn. More significant than the numeric size of China's economy per se, is the extraordinary sca…
Three Plays by Aristophanes
These three plays by the great comic playwright Aristophanes (c. 446-386 BCE), the well-known Lysistrata, and the less familiar Women at the Thesmophoria and Assemblywomen, are the earliest surviving portrayals of contemporary women in the European literary tradition. These plays provide a unique glimpse of women not only in their familiar domestic roles but also in relation to household and city, religion and government, war and peace, theater a…

On the stalling of the Malaysian industrialization project
In his article for this issue of Economy and Society, Narayanan (20088. Narayanan , S. 2008 . On the stalling of the Malaysian industrialization project . Economy and Society , 37 ( 4 ) : 595 – 601 . [Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] View all references) presents a critique of our earlier work on Malaysian industrialization (Henderson & Phillips 2007). Narayanan's objections are entirely empirical and they take the form of suggesting …
China and global development
The rise of China as an economic and political 'driver' of the global economy may presage a new phase of globalization. This paper postulates the emergence of this new phase – a 'Global-Asian Era' (GAE) – as a 'working hypothesis'. It suggests that such an era is likely to be distinct from any of the earlier phases of globalization, and China's global footprint, in terms of its business, economic and political actions and their geopolitical impli…
Drama and Democracy
In fifth-century Athens tragedy, satyr drama, and comedy, together with the largely choral dithyramb, achieved distinct generic forms and a level of artistic refinement and portability that ensured their continuing vitality and popularity throughout the Greco-Roman world to the end of antiquity and, in the case of tragedy and comedy, into our own world. While we admire the artistic qualities of Athenian drama, it is worthwhile also to ask in what…
The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Pericles
Mid-fifth-century Athens saw the development of the Athenian empire, the radicalization of Athenian democracy through the empowerment of poorer citizens, the adornment of the city through a massive and expensive building program, the classical age of Athenian tragedy, the assembly of intellectuals offering novel approaches to philosophical and scientific issues, and the end of the Spartan-Athenian alliance against Persia and the beginning of open…
Global production networks and the analysis of economic development
This article outlines a framework for the analysis of economic integration and its relation to the asymmetries of economic and social development. Consciously breaking with state-centric forms of social science, it argues for a research agenda that is more adequate to the exigencies and consequences of globalization than has traditionally been the case in 'development studies'. Drawing on earlier attempts to analyse the cross-border activities of…
Globalizing’ regional development
Recent literature concerning regional development has placed significant emphasis on local institutional structures and their capacity to ‘hold down’ the global. Conversely, work on inter‐firm networks – such as the global commodity chain approach – has highlighted the significance of the organizational structures of global firms’ production systems and their relation to industrial upgrading. In this paper, drawing upon a global production networ…

Uneven crises
While rejecting arguments that locate the blame for the East Asian economic crisis in simplistic notions of ‘Crony capitalism’, this paper supplements analyses which have focused on the role of international finance capital. It does so by suggesting that threre were real internal causes of the cirsis in the countries most affectd and that these were intimately associated with asymmetrical state institutional capacities to mediate between the dome…

Bureaucratic Effects
Evans and Rauch (1999) have demonstrated that there is a strong relationship between the 'Weberianness' of a national state's bureaucratic capacities and its record on economic growth. Using their data set and the best available data sets on the incidence of income poverty, this article investigates whether there is a relationship between a Weberian notion of effective bureaucratic capacities and the state's ability to reduce poverty. Using the s…
Unintended consequences
This paper examines the relation of particular forms of social and labour market policy to economic development. Taking the history of Malaysian industrialization as its empirical case, the paper assesses the unintended consequences of redistribution policy, on the one hand, and migration policy, on the other, for the limited upgrading of the country's electronics industry. It argues that, while the former has been central to social harmony in Ma…
Against the economic orthodoxy
With an eye on the transition from socialism to capitalism in Central Europe and the decline of industrial economies such as Britain, the article contributes to the debate on the economic development of Japan and the newly industrialized countries of East Asia. It begins with a discussion of the reasons why accounts derived from neoclassical economic theory have dominated explanations of industrialization in the region. By reference to three rece…

Companies are integrated into the world economy in a number of ways. This article, starting from a sympathetic, though critical engagement with the global commodity chains (GCC) perspective, explores the extent to whcih this perspective is relevant to the analysis of the international firm networks that have developed in Estern Europe. In so doing the article examines the wayus the institutional legacies of the state socialist past and inherited …

Commodity chains, foreign investment and labour issues in Eastern Europe
In terms of ownership and operations, many companies in Eastern Europe have now been integrated into the world economy. In this article, informed in part by a critical engagement with the Global Commodity Chains (GCC) perspective, we explore the nature and significance of international linkages among firms in Eastern Europe. In particular, we argue that it has been the legacies of the state socialist past embedded in the inherited macro‐ and micr…

Usurping Social Policy
This paper takes issue with arguments emanating from the global social policy literature that neoliberal policy agendas have been largely a consequence of the interplay of international agencies with indigenous reform interests. While relevant, such arguments grasp only part of the story of social policy change. By means of a case study of Hungary between 1990 and 2002, this article emphasises the role played by the bureaucratic reconstitution of…

Private Morality in Greece and Rome. Some Historical Aspects
Aristophanes
Aristophanes, one of the greatest and most important poets of the golden age of classical Greek literature, has remained, in the English-speaking world at least, one of the most forbidding, because least well understood. This is a collection of critical and interpretative essays in English devoted entirely to this poet. Addressed to specialists and non-specialists alike, its purpose is to bring modern literary and philological methods to bear on …
Semiconductors, Scotland and the International Division of Labour
The paper seeks to analyse the semiconductor industry in Scotland in relation to the international division of labour of which it is a part. It does this by theorising the emergence and subsequent development of the industry both within Scotland, and in terms of its structural connections with American semiconductor production in the USA and Southeast Asia. In this context, the paper explores some of the social and spatial implications of the ind…

In 1971, when I began the dissertation that would become The Maculate Muse, scorn of the old taboos about human sexuality and its social expressions had become socially fashionable among many members of my generation, even a badge of cultural liberation. For me, an academic who had never thought that human sexuality should be a shameful secret and who had always been amused and fascinated by erotic art and literature, that era of “sexual revoluti…
