Enduring Structural Power? Assessing the Dominance of the Anglosphere in Global Finance Before the Trump Turn
Historically, the US exerted dominant structural power in global finance – especially via its integration in the wider Anglosphere. We analyze granular data for 10 segments – from portfolio and foreign direct investment to foreign exchange reserves – to assess the power positions of the Anglosphere, the EU, China, and Japan. On balance, the structural power of the Anglosphere in global finance has endured and even increased between 2008 and 2023.…
Američka monetarna hegemonija nakon ruske agresije na Ukrajinu
Ovaj članak preispituje u kojoj mjeri postoje geopolitički i ekonomski uvjeti za odmicanje od američkog dolara kao hegemonske valute. To pitanje dobilo je na posebnom značenju nakon financijskih sankcija uvedenih Rusiji uslijed agresije na Ukrajinu. Suprotno brojnim komentarima koji predviđaju eroziju statusa američkog dolara, ovo istraživanje polazi od koncepta strukturne moći koji objašnjava razloge postojanosti američkog dolara na samom vrhu g…
A small state finding its way in the EU: Croatia and its approach to Brexit
As a small and new EU member state Croatia had little to contribute to Brexit, which occurred just a few years after the country’s accession to the EU. Stemming from its size, its pre-existing relations with the UK and its drive to learn to operate within the EU, Croatia is no outlier in the literature on small states’ foreign policy. This paper analyses the behaviour of Croatia during Brexit and adds to the literature on small states. First, it …
When EU Political Convergence Fails in New Member States: Corporate and Party State Capture in Croatia and the Czech Republic
The unifying theme of our study is that democratic backsliding in the post-socialist new EU member states occurs against the backdrop of existing or emerging cases of state capture. Following an extensive overview of corporate and party state capture, we update and develop new empirical indicators for tracing each phenomenon. Our claim is that while both varieties of capture have negative effects on democratic legitimacy, there are striking diffe…
Measuring Currency Power from 2005 to 2018: Greenback Still Unrivaled or Increasingly Constrained by Its Rivals?
The main research goal of this paper is to empirically assess the state of US currency power relative to its main rivals in the period between 2005 and 2018. The most novel aspect of our inquiry is the design of three new composite indices called: Monetary Capability Index (MCI), Quality of Governance Index (QGI) and Currency Internationalization Index (CII). We argue that those indices are indispensable in an attempt to empirically measure the c…
Financial deepening and income inequality: Is there any financial Kuznets curve in China? The political economy analysis
The interconnectedness of financial deepening and income inequality has been a highly controversial discussion which has not been concluded despite many empirical and theoretical studies up to date. One of the basic building blocks for many research designs is the reliance upon the Kuznets inverted U-shaped curve which postulates that in the first phase of economic growth income inequality increases, peaks and then decreases to a tolerable level …
