AbstractThe structure of the USA and the countries that emerged from the remains of Gran Colombia ultimately took different shapes from those suggested in the era immediately after independence, particularly in regard to the extent of each state's fiscal and monetary capacities. This article applies Oszlak's model of ‘stateness’ to the early financial and monetary histories of the USA (roughly 1776–93) and Gran Colombia (roughly 1819–35) to assess and compare the role of financial and monetary capacities in long-run state consolidation and economic development. The US was ultimately more successful than Gran Colombia at adapting its financial and monetary capacities and institutions, creating better conditions for the attainment of ‘stateness’, stronger economic growth, and greater endurance as a national entity. The comparison ultimately suggests a reciprocal relationship between the legitimization of a state's authority (that is, state consolidation) and the development and solidification of fiscal and monetary capacities.

Do So

Universities in the USA and in many other countries have, over the years, made significant contributions to regional economic development, and continue to do so. However, several internal conditions have thus far limited this contribution to less than its full potential. This article focuses on three of these conditions: (a) in their approach to outreach as well as in their teaching, universities continue to adhere to a linear model for knowledge flow, and a hierarchy of values that ranks basic science above technology, and both above application; (b) universities, on the whole, continue to be collections of quasi-autonomous individuals. They have difficulty in defining, let alone implementing, collective goals; and (c) the prevailing system of recognition and rewarding of faculty work lacks mechanisms for evaluation and fails to provide incentives for innovation and achievement in externally oriented activities. These barriers to greater contribution to regional economic development by universities go to the very heart of the self-definition and value system of the faculty in these institutions. Change at best will be slow and difficult to perceive, yet there is reason to believe that it is beginning to take place, and that it will have an impact on all aspects of the societal role of universities, not only on regional economic development.
