AbstractThis article examines historical positions regarding the question of the small nation-(state) of Albania remaining “in” the larger Ottoman supranational entity and “out” as independent nation-state during the late 19th and early 20th century. It does so mainly, but not only, through the language of political economy (wealth creation and redistribution) as articulated in the thoughts and deeds of three founding intellectual and political figures of the Albanian nation-(state): Ismail Qemali, Fan Noli, and Luigj Gurakuqi. While lacking a clear political-economic perspective for this emerging nation in the late Ottoman period, all the three figures maintained that as an independent, small nation-state, Albania could survive and perhaps thrive if its wealth and national economic development remained anchored within a larger political and economic space. More than Qemali, Gurakuqi, and Noli envisaged a greater state role in the country’s “national economy-building” process. But while Gurakuqi was more of a “nationalist” on wealth creation, Noli sought to pursue a more “radical,” redistributive path to national development.

This article explores the dilemma of the small Bohemian Lands/Czechoslovak nation (-state) in staying “in” or “out” of the larger Habsburg supranational entity in the late nineteenth and the early twentieth century. It does so mainly through the language of political economy (on national wealth creation and redistribution) articulated in the opinions and political actions of Czechoslovakia's two founding statesmen, the first president, Thomas G. Masaryk, and the first prime minister, Karel Kramař. The article argues that their choice of staying “in” the large imperial space was premised upon renegotiating a better political and political–economic deal for the Bohemian Lands, whereas the option of abandoning it and of forging the Czechoslovak nation-state was essentially based on political reasons. And while both advocated an interventionist role for the state in the economy during the imperial period, they considered such a prerogative even more essential for their new nation-state.

<p><strong>COMPRAS PÚBLICAS COMO INSTRUMENTO PARA O DESENVOLVIMENTO ECONÔMICO NACIONAL: NOVIDADES E QUESTIONAMENTOS ORIUNDOS DAS ALTERAÇÕES PROMOVIDAS PELA LEI Nº 12.349/2010 </strong></p><p><strong>Resumo:</strong> O poder de compra do Estado é um instrumento relevante para a promoção do desenvolvimento econômico nacional, em especial quando alinhado a outros mecanismos de política industrial de corte vertical. Considerando a magnitude das compras públicas no Brasil, torna-se ainda mais necessário que os certames licitatórios atendam não apenas ao interesse primário da Administração Pública (maior “vantajosidade” nas contratações), mas também realizem políticas públicas vinculadas aos objetivos constitucionais que imperativamente moldam toda a atuação do Estado brasileiro. Neste sentido, torna-se essencial compreender como as alterações promovidas no art. 3º da Lei Geral de Licitações (Lei n.º 8.666/1993) possibilitam a efetiva conformação de políticas públicas a partir do mecanismo das compras governamentais. O presente estudo abordará especialmente as disposições legais e regulamentares que tornam subsistente a concessão de tratamento privilegiado na aquisição de produtos manufaturados e/ou serviços nacionais, seja a partir da instituição de margens de preferência, seja pela restrição à participação de bens importados nos certames licitatórios.</p><p><strong>Palavras-chaves:</strong> margem de preferência; licitações; tratamento privilegiado; restrição a bens importados; desenvolvimento nacional sustentável.</p><p><strong>PUBLIC PURCHASES AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR NATIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: NEWS AND QUESTIONS FROM THE AMENDMENTS PROMOTED BY LAW Nº 12.349 OF 2010</strong></p><p><strong>Abstract:</strong> Public policies can be managed by the application of measures that restrict the government’s purchase of supplies, producing relevant effects in the economic development, especially when these mechanisms are aligned with other vertical industrial policy measures. Considering the magnitude of Brazilian government procurement budget, it becomes strictly necessary that bidding processes conform also the purpose of promoting public policies connected to the economic constitutional aims, that necessarily must shape the role of Brazilian State. This work paper aim to understand how the changes introduced by the art 3º of the General Procurement Law (Law n.º 8.666/1993) allow the effective shaping of public polices from the mechanism of government procurement. This study will discuss in particular legal tools that make subsistente the privileged treatment concession in the puchase of manufactured goods and/or national services, either from the institution of preference margins, either by restricting the participacion of imported goods in the bidding processes.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> preference margins; government procurement; privileged treatment; national development; bidding processes.</p><p><strong>Data da submissão:</strong> 09/11/2016                   <strong>Data da aprovação:</strong> 09/12/2016</p>

This article begins with an observation of a contemporary and yet reoccurring political dilemma that small nation-states face with respect to larger states in being either inside or outside of supranational political entities regarding political and economic asymmetries. Employing an intellectual history approach, the article explores this dilemma with reference to the Georgian nation in late-nineteenth century Tsarist Russia and the early twentieth century, when that territory briefly became a nation-state: It explores this through the language of political economy articulated in the thoughts and actions of two founding Georgian national intellectual and political figures, the statesman Niko Nikoladze and Noe Zhordania, who was one of the first prime ministers. It argues that conceiving of the nation(state) primarily in economic terms, as opposed to exclusively nationalist ones, was more conducive to the option of remaining inside a supranational space.

The Relationship

Pamela Barnhouse Walters examines empirically the relationship of educational development to economic growth in developing countries. Basing her argument on dependency theory, she presents data suggesting that educational expansion has not advanced economic growth. She concludes that while educational reform is not, in and of itself, an effective strategy for promoting such growth, it may have beneficial effects on other aspects of national development.

Dynamic Interplay

In response to US plans to withdraw troops from South Korea in the 1970s, the Park Chung Hee administration (1961–79) leveraged all defense-related civilian industries to build an independent system of weapons production. In keeping with Park's advancement of military modernization driven by strong private-sector growth, an agenda that he promoted with his banner slogan “rich nation, strong military,” large Korean companies known as chaebŏl were transformed to serve as government contractors that drove both national economic development and military modernization. A case study of one such company, Hanwha, illustrates how the state's hyper-militarization of Korean industries determined the distinct course and character of South Korea's national development. The study highlights the dynamic interplay that occurred between state actors and private-sector CEOs, managers, and laborers in shaping the chaebŏl-centered economic and defense industrialization.

Transport, due to its ubiquitous nature, takes a key position in contemporary discourse as a critical sector that impacts governance, economic and social wellbeing of the national development. The unprecedented transportation challenges, particularly in the sub-Saharan states, have a significant implication on the performance of their economies. These challenges, more often than not, are generated by disequilibrium in the policy of the government as it affects transport administration. The study takes a comparative evaluation of the extent, dimension and manner of transport administration in Nigeria and Britain. The approach involves a documentary search of the policy intervention of transport administration in both countries. The study identifies the issues and challenges of transport administration lapses, especially on the part of Nigeria and relevant recommendation to improve transport administration for national economic development.
