Global Political Economy: How The World Works?Jeffrey Harrod
These are the slides which are displayed by the lecturer Jeffrey Harrod in the on-line Lecture Course "Global Political Economy: How the World Works" which is available free on his website http://www.jeffreyharrod.eu/avcourse.html.
The purpose it to make the slides available to download which at the moment cannot be done from the on-line lecture. Many of the slides provide data which may be useful in presentations and research papers. Other slides are the points addressed in the lecture.
The course covers all the material conventionally found in courses on international political economy. The approach is critical and realist and seeks to understand or explain
power rather than functions which surround the world economy.
The lectures and slides cover investment, trade, finance , migration and labour paying special attention to the multinational corporation and the agencies of states as the central power players in the global economy.

Answer the following essays (the essays selected for the final exam will be determined by the instructor). You may use your lecture notes, power points and class reading assignments. There is no limit to how much you may write one each question, taking into account the two-hours allotted for the exam. Good luck.
1. What are the basic precepts of Marxist political theory (explain Marx’s theory of revolution in dealing with this question). How was Marx’s political theory modified in practice by Lenin and Stalin?
2. What factors gave rise to totalitarian regimes in Russia and Eastern Europe? (make sure you integrate the lecture and readings in this question and consider the importance of Stalin’s “Socialism in one country” policy)
3. According to Hauss, what are the political characteristics of communist regimes? (discuss the relationship of party to government and state, the role of ideology, political parties and elections).
4. Based on the lecture, power points and the text, what do you think are the prospects for democracy and capitalism in the post Communist political systems (Russia, the former Soviet Republics and Eastern European countries like Poland)?

A theoretical Framework on Inflation and Retirement:
Improvements in longevity as well as declining fertility rates have led to an aging demographic across developed nations. These tendencies, alongside several decades of low inflation have led to shifts in pension and retirement policies across developed nations. It goes without saying that Retirement security remains a shared concern, one that has heightened as inflation has returned to the global landscape, adding further uncertainty to the financial security of retirees. From a policy perspective, monetary policy is the most blunt tool within the macroeconomic toolkit whereas retirement has increasingly become a household-level savings, investment and decumulation problem. Given the dependency of policy on inflation expectations and that of inflation expectations on household-level decision-making, we present elements of an incipient framework that may be used to integrate household and firm-level decision making into the contemporary macroeconomic policy toolkit.
The Finnish and Swedish accessions to NATO—even though incomplete as of now—have been interpreted in some corners as the beginning of the end for neutrality. Not picking sides in a war of aggression is untenable, they hold, cheering the decisions of some former neutrals to give up their signature foreign policies while berating those who still do not send weapons to Ukraine or sanction Russia. Whatever one’s stance on the policy side is, one point has been lost in the debate: neutrality is not a question of ideology but a fact of conflict dynamics. It just won’t go away. Not even the two World Wars or the 40 years of the Cold War could get rid of the “fence-sitters.”
Neutrality, always and everywhere, is a reaction to conflict(s). The current one over Ukraine is no exception, giving rise to neutral policies in roughly two-thirds of the world. It is a moot question if there should be neutrality or not. Nonaligned behavior of third-party states is a fact of international life and will remain one. There are really only two questions that matter: First, which neutrals will leave the stage, and which ones will be born? Second, will the neutrals play a constructive role in the new global conflict, or will they be relegated to the margins?
This talk will disentangle the neutrality debate by differentiating the legal components from the political and strategic aspects and discuss recent neutrality developments in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

Dual citizenship was once universally reviled as a moral abomination, then largely marginalized as an anomaly. During the twentieth century, states were able to police the status and manage incidental costs to the extent that full suppression proved impossible. More recent decades have seen wide acceptance of dual citizenship as those costs dissipated for both states and individuals. Powerful nonresident citizen communities have played a crucial role in winning recognition of the status. A handful of states -- Japan notable among them -- have held out against this clear trend and increasingly vocal emigrant and immigrant constituencies and children of bi-national couples. This session will situate Japan's resistance to dual citizenship in a global historical context.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has given the go-ahead for a major redevelopment of Jingu Gaien, the cluster of sports facilities and green space adjacent to the National Stadium in Sendagaya. The project has recently become a focus of attention in Tokyo, with many people from across the political spectrum speaking out with concerns about the project.
The redevelopment plan is made possible by a loosening of height restrictions in the area that was implemented in conjunction with the Olympics, and former Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori was involved in conceptualization of the plan. The redevelopment will eliminate nearly a thousand trees, two historic stadiums and several public sports facilities, and put in three high rise office buildings.
In this presentation activist Rochelle Kopp will describe the various concerns and issues related to the Jingu Gaien redevelopment project and how she and some other activists and academics are speaking out against the plan and urging that Governor Koike withdraw it and start over with input from the public and experts.

8 November 2022 was the last day of voting for the US midterm elections. These elections reflected the mood of American voters and give us some idea of the future course of American policy and of the political and ideological balance of power in the United States. They will also affect the ability of the Biden Administration to pursue its agenda.
Professor Yashiro, one of Japan's leading economists, will look at the results of Abenomics (a term coined to describe Japan's economic policy while Shinzo Abe was premier) and Prime Minister Kishida's plans for what he calls a "New Capitalism."
Observers of Japanese security and foreign policies have largely focused on analyzing Japanese policies in the area of traditional security. However, they would be remiss to disregard the string of new developments that have been occurring in Japan – namely that of “economic security.”
Prompted by rising U.S.-China competition, Japan has been undergoing rapid change in its economic security policies over the last few years. These changes range from organizational transformation to new legislation as well as increasing support for the private sector. This trend is likely to accelerate under the incoming Kishida administration, which has created a new ministerial post for economic security.
How has Japan’s economic security policy evolved in the last few years? What kind of changes will we likely see in Japan’s economic security policies under the Kishida administration? What impact will this “economic security awakening” in Japan have on Japan-U.S. and Japan-China relations? How should Japan cooperate with other key actors, such as the European Union, the Quad countries, the Five Eyes states, and Southeast Asian countries?
This seminar will address these critical questions and more with Akira Igata, who has been advising international organizations, the Japanese government, bureaucracy, and the private sector in economic security issues for many years.
Speaker Biography:
Akira Igata is Executive Director and Visiting Professor at the Center for Rule-making Strategies at Tama University. He is also the Economic Security Advisor for the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China and Senior Adjunct Fellow at Pacific Forum, a U.S.-based think tank. He advises Japan’s bureaucracy, politicians, and private sector as well as international organizations on economic security issues.
A half a year ago, the prospect of an LDP presidential election did not inspire flights of the imagination. After all, what could break the hammerlock the top three party factions – the Hosoda, the Aso and the Nikai – had upon the process of selecting the party leader? Who or what could outmaneuver the wily LDP Secretary-General Nikai Toshihiro, whom two prime ministers in a row found themselves powerless to budge from his post at the apex of the party’s secretariat?
Over the summer of 2021, however, several factors became catalysts for changes in the party’s internal power structures. A presidential campaign like any other had unfolded, with the faction leaders and the party’s senior officials left gasping as erstwhile subordinates have run away with the narrative and the initiative. So many assumptions about how the LDP “works” have been challenged that the unprecedented situation of half of the candidates being women has been largely subsumed.
What will we have learned from this election? Michael Cucek will offer his views, along with suggestions of avenues of future research into the contemporary LDP.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

7. The book originates in a project:
rationale of the project
The position newly taken by China at international level implies to revise our
assessment of liberalism within East Asian modernization, at all three
economic, political and social levels. Changes in the Western world bear
the same consequence of reassessing the situation.
Focus on economic development, with a comparative analysis of the context
in which it is displayed. There are indeed different ways to interpret
Japanese, Korean and Chinese modernization: does ‘liberalization’ mean
“Westernization”, or are elements already embedded in Asian culture?
‘Cultural economics’ and comparative ‘socio-economics’ can be put forth,
while political discrepancies with the Western model point to how the rule
of law may be effectively implemented in local business.
For instance, the influence of the legal frame on mid- and long-term trade is
of interest not only to law and economics but also to the history of
economic thought. What about notions adopted/adapted from Europe?

9. Many questions in the project
Many questions can be raised from there. Here are some examples of those we ask in
the programme and issues that can be dealt with therein:
• •Classical Political Economy and Eastern Asia;
• •Colonialism, mercantilism and unequal relations with Western countries (Unequal
Treaties in the 19th century, Asian economic domination on labor-intensive
products today);
• •Translation and dissemination of ideas from abroad;
• •European visions on Eastern Asian economies;
• •Economic discourse and the making of national identities;
• •Money and credit: institutions, policy, instability;
• •Institutionalization of the Economics profession in Eastern Asia;
• •Establishment of critical and heterodox traditions;
• •Underdevelopment, backwardness, and catching-up;
• •The role of foreign experts in regional thought and policy;
• •Research institutions, think tanks, and policy formation

economics and their adoption/adaption as ideas/ideals?

11. An example of how LIBEAC
adopted symmetric conceptual approaches
• Daniel A. Bell:
• Stays in China and
argues for a renewed
communitarianism on a
multicultural (modelled
on Canada’s experience)
and / or ‘Neo-
Confucian’ (Chinese
genuine system of elite
selection) approaches
• Gilles Campagnolo:
• Stays in Japan and
discusses rationalism,
individualism and
liberalism from a
comparative study of
German vs. Austrian
economic doctrines,
and migration of ideas
to East Asia from the
19th century to now.
11
12. Will China facing crisis follow on economic aspects
in conformity with the concept(s) of Liberalism?
The so-called ‘social market system’ … and economic liberalism
What kind of a comparison between Chinese market adoption and for
instance EU (German-originated) concept of ‘Marktsozialwirtschaft’?
• Within LIBEAC, we adopt symmetric conceptual approaches, e.g. :
Daniel A. Bell: a renewed communitarianism on a multicultural
(modelled on Canada’s experience) and / or ‘Neo-Confucian’
(Chinese genuine system of elite selection) approaches
Gilles Campagnolo: rationalism, individualism and liberalism from a
comparative study of German vs. Austrian economic doctrines, and
their migration to the US Academia from 19th century to nowadays.

reception/translation of principal-agent theories/ ideas on
liberalization of China (including property ownership rights)/ the

13. Is China’s economic growth and liberalization
sustainable if there is no further “liberal” reform or
evolution in political and social areas ?

14. Referring to the past : liberal thinkers
• Liberal Thought: Bertrand Russell
• Continental Thought: Henri Bergson, Rudolf Eucken
• Evolutionist Thought : Herbert Spencer
• The role of translations from Western languages/ via Japanese
• Fukuzawa Yukichi Call to Study (福沢諭吉福沢諭吉福沢諭吉福沢諭吉 「学問のすすめ」「学問のすすめ」「学問のすすめ」「学問のすすめ」) as an
answer and a catalyzer in its time
• John Dewey “economic democracy” and the principle of “well-being of the
people” (民生主義 minshengzhuyi) put forth by Sun Yat-sen (孫中山,
1866-1925) in his Three Principles of the People (三民主義 Sanminzhuyi):
Pragmatics indeed struck a chord in China. The study of Dewey’s ideas
revealing the trends of evolution at a larger level.
14
15. • Rethinking Liberalism:
Metaphysics (Confucian values and Ancient Rome Stoïcs may have some
common features, but they also differ, as well as they diverge from
monotheist sets of values),
Politics cannot be reduced to citizenship and the voting process (to say it
briefly, one popular Chinese way of questioning democracy is whether one
should rely on the judgment of the many, that may lack education, or have
more confidence in those who have been trained to understand complex
world matters : isn’t some gap obviously widening between educated
elites of the RPC and parts of the masses ?).
Authors who to potentially mobilize in rethinking forEast Asia?
• I. Berlin: ‘positive’ vs. ‘negative’ freedom: need to reassess
• F. Hayek: “rule of liberty”: its influence from Japan onward
• Amartya Sen: progress and accumulation of capacities
• John Rawls and French economist S.-C. Kolm on justice
15
16. Back and forth between ‘ideal’
(philosophical) and practical queries
• Does Liberalism truly work as a Western Ideology? Is it
therefore restricted to the West? Or is it temporarily received
until adapted to local realities, and so made ‘genuine’? If so,
what is left of the original import?
• Is the correlation between Economic Liberalism and Political
Liberalism stable, in particular in the case of non-Western
economies?
How do Japan, NIEs, and now China may serve as study-cases?
An open-ended query within the LIBEAC programme.
16
17. The concepts of a liberal civil society as they are received,
adopted/adapted, implemented/rebuked in China and when
China is confronting crisis
Categories to deal with Western liberalism, and to begin with:
Individualism
Logical: irreducible derivation or univocal metaphysical norm?
Methodological: from the Modern era down to I. Berlin, F. Hayek
Ontological: views from Western/ Eastern Asian sources
Ideological: divergent facets and related obstacles
Some more filters: subjective/objective, conceptual/schematic,
positive/negative freedom, Ancient / Modern, Eastern/ Western,
liberalism related to happiness (with formal rights and effective capacities)
vs. liberalism as pure freedom (libertarianism)

20. EU-China relationships : new trends and a challenge …
• EU→China: the biggest trading partner ??
China→EU: largest source of imports and second
largest two-way trading partner
• Liberalization of Chinese economy and Chinese
society nowadays has numerous implications for
the E.U.
–Japan seems to turn less towards the E.U., is
that right?
20
21. From the perspective of the European Union:
The objective stands at the confluence of two major issues for
the European Union, in terms of internal policies as well as
external actions:
1/ the position and role of the European Union in the World
at present, and
2/ the past, present and future of European ideals (example
of France) and norms of conduct, governance (energy,
anthropic climate change, pollution issues etc.), and
3/ the past, present and future of citizenship ideals and so-
called Human Rights, in their universal understanding and
presentation, notably such as given by French thinker and
diplomat René Cassin at the United Nations in 1949.
21
22. • In the case of all East-Asian countries:
Is a political transition in its turn dependent upon the socio-
economic development ?
Does the role of the state, at a certain stage, have to be
phased out ?
Does the importance of funding development opens to new
modes of governance?
Taking part in the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank
– or not?
Taking part in the TransPacific Partnership – or not
(especially after the US withdrew from it)?
The project addresses the question of the difference between
industrialized countries and economies that have become
leaders at different moments, with consequences on the
world order and for E.U./Japan partnership.
22
23. - Those are the questions the book tries to answer, using
knowledge from the past and economic theories of the 21st
century, to convince that grasping ‘culture’ (in a sense to
define and redefine) is key to economic understanding
related to Asia’s past in retrospect and perspectives for
prospective in the future.
- For now, China lies between
Neo-Confucianism and Neo-Marxism.
- Will China avoid the ‘dark room of
protectionism’ (Xi Jinping) and
pursue fruitful liberal progress towards a
‘Chinese Dream’?
Contemporary debates are open
looking at the past with hope for the future. 23
24. Thank you for your attention!
LIBEAC goes on with East Asian
networking, keeping in mind:
• Japan as the earliest ‘modernizer’, and the Asia-Pacific
economic situation now. And as a follow up to LIBEAC :
• Liberalism and Economic Development is a matter of
Innovation and Competition
• Our methodological creed is
multidisciplinary/international comparative;
epistemological & historical; theoretical & practical.
• Other fields where to apply: Russian Far East...

International Conference in Economic Philosophy #3 June 15-16, 2016
Review of Economic Philosophy
Journal issued twice a year, with the support of the French National Center for Scientific
Research (CNRS). Published in French and in English by reference French publisher in
philosophy: VRIN, Place de la Sorbonne, Paris.
Price 30 €. Subscription (France) 50 € Subscription (outside France) 55 €
The Review of Economic Philosophy is devoted to the disciplinary field of economic
philosophy in the international community. The Revue de Philosophie Economique/
Review of Economic Philosophy is thus the first French journal fully dedicated to this field.
Since its creation in 2000 by Alain Leroux, the Review has acquired a significant position in
the international academic landscape, starting from its French origins, soon opening to
other contributors and new horizons. The Review publishes original articles and first-hand
material which exemplify a rational, critical and argumentative approach to philosophical
issues raised by economic life, human action and scientific understanding in connection
with the economy.
The Revue de Philosophie Economique/ Review of Economic Philosophy is accessible on
the CAIRN database. All published articles undergo rigorous double-blind peer refereeing,
with initial and final screening by the Editors. The Revue’s thematic special issues are
issued once a year (recent special issues focused on experimental economics, critical
realism and environmental justice) and second yearly issues are miscellaneous varia.
Call for Papers
The Review calls for papers submitted at the Third Conference for Economic Philosophy
directly related to this edition’s theme: “The economic Agent and its
Representations”. Papers in English by non-French speakers and writers are welcome.
The typescript must be original: the article should not have been previously published and
should not be under consideration by another journal. Papers are due by October 31,
2016.
Instructions for contributors are available at
http://www.vrin.fr and http://www.greqam.fr/en/publications/review-philo
The forthcoming special issue will be a selection of the best papers submitted on the
conference’s theme. Answers as to publication will be given within a 4 month-delay. Any
queries shall be addressed to the Editorial Board.
