Shifting the Power Balance in the EU's Single Market? Central and Eastern European Agents of Change
This Symposium analyses how European Union (EU) member states have adjusted domestic policies in response to the evolving governance of the single market since the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent EU shocks. Confronted with new opportunities and constraints, countries have adopted diverse forms of domestic agency that have, in turn, reshaped the de facto governance of the single market. We focus on Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), where such…
Firm-Centered Approaches to Overcoming Semi-Peripheral Constraints
Scholars of economic development in the Global South and of industrial policy in the Global North are increasingly advocating top-down policies by a strong, activist state to promote growth and innovation. Instead, we argue there is much to learn from firm-centered approaches about how the main economic decision-makers, namely, firms, engage with the constraints and opportunities that they face. This is particularly important in the semi-peripher…
On Bálint Magyar and Bálint Madlovics's The Anatomy of Post-communist Regimes-a conceptual framework, Budapest and New York
Correspondence: [email protected] The problem of understanding post-communist regimes may be compared to the study of an iceberg, which has two parts—the one above-water, which consists of modern political institutions with elections, political competition, constitutional rules and norms; and one underwater, which is significantly bigger and more important than the visible half. For those who find themselves ‘inside’ the post-communist systems, it…
Beyond Neoliberalism? Revisiting the Welfare State in the Baltic States
Scholars of political economy have criticised the Baltic states’ transition to capitalism as socially ‘disembedded’ and shaped by a zealous form of neoliberalism. This article argues that the Baltic welfare states have experienced a more complex post-socialist transformation than suggested by the ‘neoliberal retrenchment’ narrative, which relies on the traditional definition of the welfare state and focuses solely on cash compensation for the ‘lo…
The Dynamism of the New Economy
Growth Models and Female Labor in Post-Socialist Eastern Europe
Eastern European women had the highest labor force participation in the world during socialism. With the onset of capitalism, significant shares of women permanently exited the labor market in some countries, while they stayed economically active in others. This article shows that the countries’ different capitalist growth models—defined as strategic national approaches to growth stimulation and job creation—can explain this divergence. Nonlinear…
Theorising the effect of transition on female labour force in the European semi-periphery
This article presents an interdisciplinary methodological framework that I developed to theorise and empirically test the drivers of female labour force participation in post-socialist Eastern Europe. As I attempted to apply existing theories from consolidated capitalist economies onto the Eastern European cases, I faced the dilemma of either having to label the Eastern European cases as ?deviant?, because they were not fitting into the pre-exist…
