За политическата икономия в катедра „Политическа икономия” на УНСС

Author(s): Svetla Toshkova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2017

The study presents one of the contemporary understandings of political economy in the context of the historical development of economic theory and the changes in the methodology and philosophy of economic knowledge. An attempt has been made to define the objectives, the object and the subject area of political economy as an interdisciplinary science in the economic and policy fields with taking into account the influence of institutional, socio-cultural and value factors. At the same time, the thesis of looking for the role and place of political economy and its modern development is defended in the context of the interaction between the different contemporary concepts of political economy, which should not be opposed but viewed as a starting point for the creation of the contemporary concept of political economy and its interactions with other sciences from the broad spectrum of highly integrated contemporary socio-economic knowledge in the era of post-industrial society and the globalized world. The main problem areas in the curriculum for political economy and the content of the curriculum of the specialty are briefly presented.

Технологически революции и политикономия

Author(s): Hristo Prodanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2017

This study focuses on the connection between different technological revolutions, the expansions and cycles of capitalism, the changes in political and economic relations those revolutions bring. The main idea is that the progress of technologies inevitably brings a big change in mainstream politico-economical paradigms that must answer to the needs of every stage of capitalistic cycle. Systematicly, in historical and comparative perspective, and without falling into technological determinism, this study discusses the changes in the economic thought as a result of four different technological revolutions. In this way we have the opportunity to understand and see into the processes that drive the capitalism and impose the dominant paradigms that must answer to the new emerging needs of the economy. Today, with the entrance in the Fourth industrial revolution, we are at the shore of a new and historical changes and crisis, which are shifting the sources of wealth, bringing a big search of new politico-economical paradigms that should explain the new realities and overcome the crisis processes.

ЏОН СТЈУАРТ МИЛ, РАДНИЧКО ПИТАЊЕ И ПРОБЛЕМ СОЦИЈАЛИЗМА

Author(s): Miša Đurković / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 120/2006

The topic of this article is the analysis of Mill's attitude to socialism. The author starts from the contemporary libertarian dogma about Mill as the spoiler of liberalism who supposedly turned this ideology towards socialist trends. The detailed and taxonomic analysis based on Mill's Principles of Political Economy and Chapters on Socialism shows that this theory in not correct; that the opposite is true — Mill actually, as the first serious critic of socialism, set all the relevant arguments which the liberal theory would later use to challenge this rival ideology. The emphasis is placed on the problems of redistribution and extension of the right to vote, but the author also tackles the issues of corporations, protectionism and tax policy.

Politička promjena: problemi nekih pristupa

Author(s): Dag Strpić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 03/1993

In classical political ad politico-economical theory, the opposition of the traditional and the modern in set in the very conception of political and social bodies in motion, and in their change power - versus antique and medieval conception. In contemporary science, as it is surveyed in this study, the political ’’duration” and ’’change” are the key mediation point of whole development and change. They are often treated modernizationally, instead as a transformation of a genuine polity. This is a significant difficulty in political action ad its complex strategy. Strategy of change and development of a polity must include ’’choice” in evaluations of its proper state ad the state of its referring environment, of their predictable internal and external changes, of various options and their alternative potential development scenarios in crossing. It is a combination of a prospective history of the complex societal change and development, and of an implementation of its own meaning of action. This combination must be founded in focused specialist analysis of comparative politico-economic processes whose foundation is in theories of national and world systems, and in general political and politico-economic theory. In a Schumpeterian equilibrium and disequilibrium relation of development of the politico-economic system, a permanent unexpected penetration of ’practical action” intensifies the ’’Hume’s fork” of analytical models without a general theory, especially theory of the state. Almond & Pye’s theory of political development dissociated itself from the development and from the analysis of an individual political system. Inside political system boundaries it isolated itself from major sources of real political change and development - instead developing a really politological approach to problems oft the polity. Convergent general and special theories in social sciences, with a differentiation in disciplinary scientific approaches - are the necessity of the new political economy as much as theory of complex development and change.

Hayek, komunikacijski liberalni argument i njegova sudbina

Author(s): Dag Strpić / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 03/1994

The convergent cycles of the prevalence of interventionist or laisser-faire concepts have been alternating in economy, politics, and political and economic theory. Hayek’s theory of western rationality and liberal and democratic order is based on two communicational arguments: price earnings ratio enables maximum mobilization of resources and the optimal use of information. The author’s opinion is that the current cycle is to bring about the integration of the liberal communicational argument with the new concepts of regulation, and not the universalization of the liberal order.

Kuda nakon ekonomskog imperijalizma? Sociokulturne strategije racionalnog izbora

Author(s): Aleksandar Štulhofer / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 04/1994

The paper examines the influence of neoclassical economics on sociological approach to individual and collective behavior. The first part discusses the limitations of the Beckerian ‘"hardcore” rationality model (homo economicus) — leading to a dead-end street crowded with blinded economists and misled sociologists as well as the virtues of the Simonesque “softcore” (or “contextual”) rationality model, embracing the necessary sociocultural extensions. The second part of the paper confronts the “contextual”, rational choice model with the “homo socioeconomicus” model of “embedded” rationality. Rejecting the “exogenous” (cynical) treatment of various effects of social interaction, displayed through the notion of refraction of rationality, the latter approach offers a more complex view of human motives partially molded by evolutionary (institutional) imperatives.

Političke životinje

Author(s): Nikola Visković / Language(s): Croatian Issue: 03+04/1995

In his analysis of the role of animals in political theory, ideology and practice, the author claims that they are mostly used as metaphors while in the world of real politics people are not considered and spoken of as animals but are treated as such as well. The text includes several motifs from this substantial, historically well-documented, extensive topic. Political thinking in antiquity distinguishes a man from an animal, while the Renaissance and the modern political theory recognize the animality in the very politics. In contemporary theories and collective psychology there are the motifs of rulers, shephards and people, of herds. In fables as a literary genre, animals serve to teach on the nature of politics as well as on the proper and improper political behaviour.

System patentowy a ekonomiczna teoria dóbr

Author(s): Zofia Zawadzka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2013

The essence of the patent system is the granting and guaranteeing to the inventor or other entitled entity the right of exclusive commercial and professional use of the invention within a period defined by law. The legitimacy of patent protection is not, however, unanimously agreed upon by contributors to the subject. Some emphasize the necessity and usefulness of the patent system, others negate its purposefulness and yet others assume that an unequivocal answer to the question of the legitimacy of the patent system does not exist. Thus, the article is an attempt to assess the question of whether maintaining patent protection is justified from an economic point of view. Moreover reflections are devoted to the analysis of the patent protection system from the perspective of the economic theory of goods, especially in the differences between public goods, private goods and club goods. Some technological solutions which should have qualified for patent protection may have been excluded because the interpretation of the legislator has classed them as public goods. On the other hand, regulating license agreements offers a possibility of using the invention within the framework of granted license, similarly to the use of so-called club goods (defined in terms of the theory of James M. Buchanan). Doubts are also raised about the issue of compulsory licenses and how classification as to the category of public goods or club goods has been set.

Opstanak neoliberalne hegemonije – Zašto nema relevantne alternative?

Author(s): Ognjen Dragičević / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 18/2017

in this article the author describes the reasons why neoliberal hegemony persists despite of numerous challenges, problems and criticisms it is facing with. according to the author, the answer lies in two groups of factors which maintain and spread the aforementioned hegemony. The first group refers to the internal characteristics of neoliberalism, i.e. neoliberal ideas, such as fluidity, adaptability and generality of neoliberal concepts and ideas. The se cond group consists of external factors, primarily the needs and interests of the international economic system, i.e. the needs and interests of the most important economies of that system. in these needs and interests we sho uld look for an explanation for the rise, development and sustainability of neoliberalism as hegemony on the international level.

On the Threshold of “Adulthood”: Western Balkans’ Transition Failures

Author(s): Slavica Manić,Ljubinka Joksimović / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2018

After the beginning of the transformation of centrally-planned economies into market economies, the implementation of a transition project in the case of new EU members (a total of 10 countries joined through the enlargements of 2004 and 2007) lasted for almost two decades, far longer than the pessimistic forecasters announced. By contrast, the Western Balkan countries (in total 6 of them), with the exception of Croatia (EU member since 2013.), have neither continuity nor adequate success in carrying out the reform processes. That is why their transition still has an uncertain outcome and an unpredictable duration. In order to determine to which stages the less developed countries have arrived at the moment when those more advanced have almost finished their transition, we will use the EBRD indicators. We will then explain the phases of Western Balkans transition dynamics (first wave reforms and deeper reforms) in order to show that these economies have partially followed the pattern reccommended by advanced economies, leaving the segment of deeper reforms unfinished. Finally, relying on the new model for measuring transitional progress (which the EBRD has been using since 2011), we will try to evaluate which part of the predicted trajectory Western Balkans really crossed on their path to transitional “adulthood”.

Четвъртата индустриална революция и политическата икономия на големите данни

Author(s): Hristo Prodanov / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 3/2018

The aim of this research is to analyze politico-economic consequences of one of the main features of the Fourth Industrial revolution – the big data. For this purpose, several tasks are accomplished: the characteristics and trends of the change and use of big data are revealed; the consequences they have for economy, politics and entire public system are analyzed; social inequalities and contradictions from the introduction of big data and the need for regulation are considered; the changes in traditional statistics as a result of the big data use are also part of the analysis. Politico-economic approach is applied with the precondition that politics and economy are sub-systems of the rapidly changing as a result of the big data politico-economic system. This is a brand new and unusually fast-growing field, not studied in our literature. It has a significant practical implication in the context of the problematic situations various institutions face in the conditions of huge and rapidly changing flows of information that demand rapid and rational decisions of political and economic actors.

Küresel Fay Hatları ve Türkiye’nin Bölgesel Bütünleşme Politikaları: Siyasi Ekonomik Model Önerisi

Author(s): Serhan Oksay,Emre İşeri,Nihat Çelik / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 20/2017

The main objective of this study is to measure prospects for Turkey’s regionalization efforts in its immediate geography with various political economic fault lines. For this purpose, it has proposed an interacting two-legged - political (establishment of “stable peace”) and economic (interdependence) - regionalization/ integration model. In the framework of our model, it comparatively analyzes Turkey’s regionalization moves such as the EU, the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO), and the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) countries. Considering levels of political-economic relations with those groupings, it concludes that without presence of solid political ground of regional “stable peace”, none of Turkey’s regionalization moves do have any prospects to reach advanced stages of integration/regionalization.
