Globalization: Benefits and Backlash: Notes for Florence

English Pages, 11. 9. 2001

I don´t want to pretend that I know exactly what the term globalization really means, but we can probably agree that we have been – especially in the last years or decades – witnessing an increasing internationalization of many kinds of human activities. On one hand, it has been, caused by technological developments, on the other it was made possible by world-wide liberalization and deregulation, by the increasing acceptance of the idea of open society, by the more favourable atmosphere, prevailing after the end of the Cold War. These developments are usually called globalization, which has become a highly fashionable but poorly defined term. Its loose and fuzzy definition makes it possible to use it easily and in many, rather contradictory and not very productive and illuminating ways.

Europe’s Economy in Global Competition: Notes for Alpbach*)

English Pages, 20. 8. 2001

1. I think most of us would agree that there are not many reasons to be fascinated with the current state of the European economy, with the last decade of its performance (in the 1993 – 2002 decade, using IMF estimates, the European Union grew at an average of 2,3 %), as well as with its probable, imaginable future.

The Problems of Corruption, Clientelism, and Favoritism in Transition Economies: Notes for Monte Carlo*)

English Pages, 26. 4. 2001

Corruption, clientelism and favoritism have co-existed with human society for a long time and in certain respect represent a permanent feature of human society. They appeared together with the government (or with any other public authority) and with the politicization of economic life. They are connected with the birth of politicians and especially of public officials, of bureaucrats of all types, with the possibility to influence or even to organize economic transactions without being owners (which means without being directly motivated to get the best price or to maximize other people’s welfare). It is not a new phenomenon, what may perhaps be new is the current exaggerating of the problem and exploiting it for political purposes.

Sappi Lecture

To realize changes of that type was socially difficult, politically brave, but technically relatively easy.
