Governmental interventionism degree in economy - a case study in OECD countries

In this study, we talk about the economic role of the state, and we analyze the degree of its intervention in the economy within the OECD countries, for the period 2000-2016. Thus, we seek to identify the countries characterized by an active intervention as well as a weaker level of state intervention. Then, we show the types of public spending that the state places more emphasis on. We analyze the distribution of state intervention (given by budget revenues) concerning to GDP, fiscal pressure, the period before and after the 2008 crises and certain types of expenditure. We can say that, generally, well-developed countries are characterized by a high level of state interventionism, while less developed ones by lower interventionism. The degree of interventionism level is smaller after the 2008 crises.

Abstract The current radical strategies by which there is, on one hand, an increasing European assistance to developing poor countries of Africa/Middle East and on the other hand, tightened border-security within Europe as a means to reduce migration from the South; may worsen the state of poverty in Europe, particularly on the immigrants and impact on the workforce in Europe with implication on development. Though, these strategies may sound radically appealing, they are however, unlikely to reduce migration flows to Europe. While there is still a “wide development gap” between the poor countries of Africa/Middle East and industrialised countries of Europe, migration will often increase, at least in the next two-three decades. Radical border security in Europe will expose the migrants to human trafficking in different form and manifestation contrary to Article 3 UN Protocol on Trafficking in Person. The paper examines the role of the State and Law and development, in addressing the issues of poverty and migration within the industrialised countries of Europe. The research argues that there is the likelihood that poverty and human right issues will increase in Europe in the near-future, if the State/EU fails to play their role, by changing their policy direction and repositioning themselves by improving their Law and development stance. The research employs the human rights-based approach, interdisciplinary and critical-analytical perspective within the framework of international Law and development. It employs qualitative empirical evidence from developed countries of Europe and poor developing countries for analysis.
