From post-socialist transition to the Covid-19 crisis
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the specific features of financialization in peripheral and semi-peripheral contexts. To date, the majority of this research, however, consists of broad studies covering a number of countries, leaving a gap in the analysis of case studies, especially from east-central Europe. Therefore, the present article attempts to address this gap through an in-depth analysis of Latvia. The research shows …
Financialisation, regional economic development and the coronavirus crisis
This paper argues that 'spatial monetary policy' may be needed to achieve more territorially balanced economic development. Central banks have been key in fostering financialised economies while also preventing their collapse in times of crisis-a role further strengthened by the coronavirus pandemic. Central banks have thus become the most powerful economic policy-making institutions, just when spatial disparities are likely to deepen. In the con…
Europeanisation as a driver of dependent financialisation in East-Central Europe
The aim of this paper is to contribute to advancing the academic debate on dependent financialisation through a focus on East-Central Europe. In doing so, the paper identifies the role of Europeanisation as a driver of dependent financialisation using the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania as case studies.The paper makes two main contributions to the literature on dependent financialisation. First, it argues that, through the establis…
Winners And Losers In Coronavirus Times
This paper has two interrelated aims. First, it attempts to sketch a preliminary map of economic winners and losers to highlight the emerging economic geographies of the coronavirus pandemic. Second, it aims to explore the links between these emerging economic geographies and the processes of ‘financialisation’, drawing on the concept of ‘financial chains’. Regarding the first aim, the paper argues that the pandemic‐induced crisis will exacerbate…
Transition and Regional Cooperation in Central Asia
In recent years, the Central Asian countries (CACs) have received increasing attention from international research and political communities. After gaining independence in 1991, the CACs went through diverse processes of political and economic transformations. However, the political and economic evolutions of these countries diverged substantially from what the Western community expected, especially in terms of regional economic cooperation. This…
Introduction
The year 2018 was very meaningful for the Baltic states, as it marked the centenary of their independence. Likewise, two other significant anniversaries occur in 2019 for Estonia, Latvia, and Lithu
Austerity versus pragmatism
Despite many initial similarities, Latvia and Poland represent two opposite extremes in terms of practical and theoretical approaches to the economic crisis. The Polish government applied a ‘pragmatic’ approach to fight the recession, based on expansionary fiscal policies and currency devaluation. Conversely, the Latvian administration opted for the Austerity and internal devaluation strategy. Consequently, the objective of this paper is to analy…
Economic aspects of migration and the refugee crisis in Europe
The world is currently facing the largest humanitarian crisis since the Second World War. The growing number of people displaced by civil conflict or natural disasters has increased dramatically in the recent years and this is posing enormous challenges to host countries. However, to date economic impacts of refugees in host and sending countries are controversial and arguably understood. Therefore, the aim of this article is to analyse how the t…
From “Communautaire Spirit” to the “Ghosts of Maastricht”
The present article addresses the relationship between the process of economic integration of the European Union and the rise of financialization in the continental economy. For that purpose, it analyzes the policies applied and the main macroeconomic indicators of a selected group of countries. The conditions imposed by the Treaty of Maastricht and the Convergence Criteria show a strong neoliberal mark, in alignment with those of the Washington …
