Between 2010 and 2015 Greek banks received capital injections as part of an EU-led rescue package that left the Greek state with large losses on their investments and a debt to repay; in the most acute moments of the crisis the European central bank twice forced the Bank of Greece to assume sole responsibility for any losses on lending to Greek banks, and; in 2015 Greek banks were subject to EU-mandated controls that restricted the transformation of Greek bank deposits into Euros in other forms. Why did European banking infrastructure leave the Greek state facing losses and liabilities alone, while still full members of the EU and Euro Area (EA)? We find that European banking infrastructure is combined-but-not-unified, and that integration requires both. Drawing on Marxist political economy we examine the financial mechanisms in detail and find a scalar split in state provision of banking infrastructure in the EU/EA. At the supranational level, the removal of barriers to cross-border banking and a common rule book. Meanwhile, promises of monetary support, such as deposit guarantees and lending of last resort have largely remained the responsibility of nation states. The combined-but-not-unified structure ensured that when crisis struck, Greece was isolated, yet still fully part of the EU/EA.
在2010年至2015年期间,作为欧盟主导的纾困计划的一部分,希腊各银行接受了注资,这让希腊政府的投资出现了巨额亏损,并需要偿还债务;在危机最严重的时刻,欧洲央行两次迫使希腊央行(bank of Greece)承担向希腊银行放贷的任何损失的全部责任;2015年,希腊银行受到欧盟强制控制,限制将希腊银行存款转换为其他形式的欧元。为什么欧洲的银行基础设施让希腊政府独自面对损失和债务,而它仍然是欧盟和欧元区(EA)的正式成员?我们发现,欧洲银行基础设施是组合的,但不是统一的,而一体化需要两者兼而有之。利用马克思主义政治经济学,我们详细研究了金融机制,并发现欧盟/欧洲经济区国家提供银行基础设施方面存在标量分裂。在超国家层面,消除跨境银行业务的障碍,制定共同的规则手册。与此同时,货币支持的承诺,如存款担保和最后贷款,在很大程度上仍是各民族国家的责任。这种合并但不统一的结构确保了,当危机袭来时,希腊是孤立的,但仍是欧盟/欧洲经济区的完整成员。

Over the last decade, the succession of financial crisis, neoliberal reform processes, and emergence of anti-establishment and far-right political forces has become a familiar pattern across Europe. But in few countries has it been as striking as in Italy. After the 2018 national elections, the anti-establishment Five-Star Movement (M5S) and the far-right League joined forces to form a government characterised by its rejection of past neoliberalising reforms and by its defiant stance towards European Union fiscal rules. The League’s victory in the latest European elections confirmed its ascendance and its centrality in the Italian political landscape. This article examines these developments in light of the recent trajectory of the Italian political economy and investigates whether the rise of these parties, and particularly the League, marked a break with the post-2011 neoliberalisation process. Analysis of the M5S-League government’s action indicates that these forces can further neoliberalisation processes together with a mix of anti-migration and welfare chauvinist measures. Moreover, an investigation of the political-economic project of the League shows that far-right parties can advance ‘nation-based’ neoliberalisation processes.
在过去的十年里,金融危机、新自由主义改革进程、反建制和极右翼政治力量的出现,已经成为整个欧洲熟悉的模式。但很少有国家像意大利那样引人注目。2018年全国大选后,反建制的五星运动(M5S)和极右翼的联盟党联手组建了一个政府,其特点是拒绝过去的新自由主义改革,并对欧盟财政规则持挑衅态度。联盟党在最近一次欧洲选举中的胜利,证实了它在意大利政治版图中的优势和中心地位。本文根据意大利政治经济的最新发展轨迹来考察这些发展,并调查这些政党的崛起,特别是联盟党,是否标志着与2011年后新自由主义进程的决裂。对五星运动联盟政府行动的分析表明,这些力量可以与反移民和福利沙文主义措施相结合,进一步推动新自由主义进程。此外,对联盟党政治经济项目的调查表明,极右翼政党可以推进“以国家为基础”的新自由主义进程。

A distinct feature of the India’s path of financial liberalization is that it led to the emergence of the corporate, non-financial sector, rather than the financial sector as the key wedge for the penetration of global finance. Neoliberal reforms eroded the traditional role of development banks and state-directed credit and empowered a section of large corporations and non-financial companies in India. The partial, calibrated path to capital account liberalization has meant that this section of the Indian non-financial corporate sector, rather than the commercial banking system came to be the conduit integrating the Indian economy with international financial markets. Where the Indian state had earlier harnessed finance towards developmental priorities, it shifted to channeling finance in service of the internationally embedded segment of the corporate sector that enjoys disproportionate access to both the domestic financial system and international financial markets.

印度金融自由化道路的一个显著特征是,它导致了企业、非金融部门的出现,而不是金融部门成为渗透全球金融的关键楔子。新自由主义改革侵蚀了开发银行和国家指导信贷的传统角色,并赋予了印度部分大公司和非金融公司权力。部分的、经过校准的资本账户自由化道路意味着,印度非金融企业部门的这一部分,而不是商业银行体系,成为了印度经济与国际金融市场整合的渠道。印度政府早先利用融资来实现发展重点,现在则转向引导融资为企业部门的国际化部门服务,这些部门在国内金融体系和国际金融市场上享有不成比例的准入。JEL代码44g32, F65

Specialized clusters rely on common knowledge resources and extra-cluster linkages, but how such resources develop over time is unclear. A case in point is how extra-cluster linkages are integrated into intra-cluster networks and the role of different cluster actors in enhancing cluster absorptive capacity. The paper explores the role of cluster intermediaries in linking clusters to external knowledge sources and contributing to knowledge dissemination among cluster firms. This perspective is relevant as manufacturing firms are facing rapid changes in technology, such as those associated with ‘Industry 4.0’. Two manufacturing clusters in Norway are studied regarding cluster absorptive capacities and the role of cluster intermediaries. The authors derive two types of cluster intermediaries with different kinds of service provision well-adjusted to the firm structure. Cluster intermediaries in both cluster contexts can assist firms in tracking and adapting to rapid technological developments.
专门集群依赖共同知识资源和集群外联系,但这些资源如何随着时间的推移而发展尚不清楚。一个恰当的例子是如何将集群外联系纳入集群内网络,以及不同集群行为者在增强集群吸收能力方面的作用。本文探讨了集群中介机构在将集群与外部知识来源联系起来以及促进集群企业间知识传播方面的作用。这一观点是相关的,因为制造业企业正面临技术的快速变化,例如与“工业4.0”相关的技术变化。研究了挪威的两个制造业集群,涉及集群吸收能力和集群中介机构的作用。作者推导出了两种类型的集群中介机构,它们的不同类型的服务提供能够很好地适应企业结构。两种集群环境下的集群中介机构都可以帮助企业跟踪和适应快速的技术发展。

From the post-industrial prophecy to the de-industrial nightmare: Stagnation, the manufacturing fetish and the limits of capitalist wealth 从后工业时代的预言到去工业时代的噩梦:停滞、制造业的迷恋和资本主义财富的极限

The post-2008 era saw a return of the manufacturing fetish, the idea that manufacturing constitutes the flywheel of growth without which no nation can thrive. Across the Global North and South, voices are calling to reverse deindustrialization and revive manufacturing. While today deindustrialization is met with anxiety, in the 1930s economists predicted deindustrialization but interpreted it as a liberating process leading to a post-industrial age based on material abundance and widespread economic security. Far from delivering this vision, deindustrialization actually produces a precarious economic order driven by labour precarity, economic stagnation and lost development opportunities for the Global South. What can be termed the Baumolian and Kaldorian frameworks, attribute this precarious reality to services’ inability to replace manufacturing as a growth engine given their technologically stagnant nature. However, this article argues that, by focusing on the technical aspects of service economies, such views overlook the social limits of the capitalist economy and its historically specific conception of wealth, value. As capitalism matures, productivity becomes an increasingly inadequate form of augmenting social wealth as it results in great increases in physical output but counterintuitively undermines the expansion of value. Capitalism is underpinned by a secular movement towards declining dynamism, as it increasingly struggles to maintain its former economic vigour. Stagnation and heightened labour precarity are not merely the product of tertiarization but symptoms of capitalism’s declining trajectory.
2008年后的时代见证了制造业崇拜的回归,这种观念认为制造业是经济增长的飞轮,没有制造业,任何国家都无法繁荣。纵观全球南北,人们都在呼吁逆转去工业化,重振制造业。虽然今天的去工业化遇到了焦虑,但在20世纪30年代,经济学家预测了去工业化,但将其解释为一个解放过程,导致基于物质丰富和广泛经济安全的后工业时代。去工业化非但没有实现这一愿景,反而造成了一种不稳定的经济秩序,其驱动因素是劳动力不稳定、经济停滞和全球南方国家失去发展机会。这种不稳定的现实可以被称为鲍莫里和卡尔多里框架,它们将这种不稳定的现实归因于服务业无法取代制造业作为增长引擎,因为服务业在技术上停滞不前。然而,本文认为,通过关注服务经济的技术方面,这种观点忽视了资本主义经济的社会限制及其历史上特定的财富、价值概念。随着资本主义的成熟,生产力成为增加社会财富的一种越来越不充分的形式,因为它导致物质产出的大幅增加,但与直觉相反,它破坏了价值的扩张。资本主义的基础是一场走向活力衰退的世俗运动,因为它越来越难以保持昔日的经济活力。经济停滞和劳动力不稳定性的加剧不仅是第三化的产物,也是资本主义衰落轨迹的症状。

Analysing Indonesia’s infrastructure deficits from a developmentalist perspective 从发展主义的角度分析印尼的基础设施赤字

This paper analyses the performance and appropriateness of the Indonesian government’s ‘good governance’ institutional reform aimed at stimulating infrastructure construction. During the 15 years after the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the government attempted to strengthen formal institutions with the goal of improving public investment efficiency and attracting private investors. By analysing policies in the construction industry in terms of company registration, procurement and state enterprises, the paper finds that the outcome was far from what was expected by technocratic-bureaucratic reform promoters as interest groups frequently succeeded in capturing the new institutional system. This paper then challenges the dominant narrative that overwhelmingly blames incomplete institutional reform for Indonesia’s slow infrastructure construction. Given the inherent market failure and political challenges in institutional reform, the paper argues that passive developmentalist policies, which resulted in conflictual state–business relations and insufficient public investment, were a prime cause that then set the stage for the emergence of state-led infrastructure development strategy from the mid-2010s.
本文分析了印尼政府旨在刺激基础设施建设的“善治”体制改革的绩效和适当性。在15 1997年亚洲金融危机后的几年里,政府试图加强正规机构,以提高公共投资效率和吸引私人投资者。通过分析建筑业在公司注册、采购和国有企业方面的政策,论文发现,结果与技术官僚官僚改革推动者的预期相去甚远,因为利益集团经常成功地抓住了新的制度体系。然后,本文挑战了主流的说法,即绝大多数人将印尼基础设施建设缓慢归咎于不完整的制度改革。考虑到体制改革中固有的市场失灵和政治挑战,本文认为,被动的发展主义政策导致了国家与企业关系的冲突和公共投资不足,是2010年代中期国家主导的基础设施发展战略出现的主要原因。

Contorting transformations: Uneven impacts of the U.S.–Mexico automotive industrial complex 扭曲的转变:美国-墨西哥汽车工业综合体的不平衡影响

Contrary to the triumphalist rhetoric that describes the automotive industry as a lever for both regional development in North America and industrial upgrading in Mexico, this article argues that the formation of the Mexico–U.S. automotive complex has instead been consolidated on the basis of longstanding processes of uneven regional development. To make this argument, the paper examines how global economic restructuring, trade policies, domestic economic development processes, transnational firm decision making and the maintenance of the geopolitical border have reproduced extreme wage differences between the United States and Mexico, resulting in the creation of a regional automotive sector that is both highly integrated and highly unequal. In this scenario, both nations are home to profoundly different industrial landscapes: the U.S. hosts the highest value-added links of the production chain, monopolizing processes of innovation and scientific and technological knowledge production, while in contrast, Mexico manufactures the most labour intense and lowest value-added links of the automotive production chain. From this perspective, the Mexican economy can be essentially understood as an export manufacturing platform which derives its ‘competitiveness’ from the aggressive industry maintenance of low wages.
与将汽车工业描述为北美区域发展和墨西哥产业升级的杠杆的必胜主义言论相反,本文认为,美墨贸易关系的形成将促进墨西哥和美国之间的贸易关系。相反,汽车产业综合体是在长期不平衡的区域发展过程的基础上得到巩固的。为了提出这一论点,本文研究了全球经济结构调整、贸易政策、国内经济发展进程、跨国公司决策和地缘政治边界的维护如何在美国和墨西哥之间再现了极端的工资差异,从而创造了一个高度一体化和高度不平等的区域汽车行业。在这种情况下,两国的工业格局截然不同:美国拥有生产链中附加值最高的环节,垄断了创新和科技知识生产的过程,而相比之下,墨西哥制造了汽车生产链中劳动强度最高、附加值最低的环节。从这个角度来看,墨西哥经济基本上可以被理解为一个出口制造业平台,其“竞争力”来自于激进的低工资行业。
