Late Renaissance

Chapter 1 examines the theoretical tools and institutional framework that the grand dukes had at their disposal when planning Livorno. Although contemporary theories of reason of state authorized a range of interventions in economic life, the regime lacked organizations for analyzing, evaluating, and implementing economic policy. Policy was a function of ambitions formulated at the center and unforeseen institutional dynamics at the periphery. This chapter begins by contextualizing the reform of 1566, which endowed Livorno with its own customs regime (largely a consolidation of prior arrangements). It then turns to examine late Renaissance theories of economic development. It concludes by examining the privileges of Livorno, focusing on merchant hospitality and the Medici effort to induce Jews to settle in Livorno.

AbstractThere is continuing acceptance that the One Nation phenomenon remains a significant local response to a global problem – the adoption by national polities of internationally- oriented economic policy ‘reforms’ which are despised by populations. The dismantling of public responsibility for social and economic development has emerged as a cause of internal disaffection with conventional forms of politics. This paper attempts to separate the anti-liberal from the illiberal aspects of the responses to internationalisation and de-politicisation. It suggests that there have always been intellectually respectable anti-liberal traditions of analysis and that One Nation has tapped into some of these strands of analytical opinion. The lesson for mainstream parties is that they continue to insist on the inevitability of globalisation, and to risk further societal discontent and intolerance, only by ignoring the real alternative approaches to the responsibilities and possibilities of politics that have long been available.

When economic development is considered, political economy is at stake; in this perspective growth or counter-growth forces operate within the institutional framework. The analysis focuses on corporatist forms of social dialogue in the international environment of the EU and within the European structures. First, the notion of corporatism as opposed to other institutionalized channels of access is explained. Then, the paper presents corporatist forms at the national level under change. Next, it deals with interest coordination at the European Commission level. The paper concludes that an erosion of corporatist forms is visible; no embracing pattern in the EU should be expected instead; on the contrary, increasing fragmentation of lobbying is observed.

Economic development is always linked with systematic changes in human behavior, its basic value and cultural change are paths dependent on it. The study illustrates the culture value that converges the EU into a single European value landscape. Current economic growth theories do not take into account cultural variables at national levels and economic life happens in asocial context and it affects economic development. This paper gives an overview of earlier relevant studies on cultural and economic growth and established linkage between cultural norms and its economic outcome from the EU perspective. The paper concludes that culture is ought to play a central role in devising the plan for the future of Europe. The paper suggests some recommendations that a new approach may be allowed with a change of mindset which should not practice the notion that what is not allowed is forbidden to what is not forbidden is allowed.

Contemporary social and economic development (regional and local) occurring under very dynamic conditions triggered mostly by globalization requires effective and professional safety- -targeted actions aiming at stabilising undesirable threats as well as to develop safety strategies. This is crucial as a safety category requires its adaptation to each and every social and economic reality which subsequently confirms its flexibility and evolution. This is directly related to the economic policy being created which is going to use features of the Polish economy and society, which are to provide a competitive advantage over other economies and denotes that in conditions of a new service-oriented economy, safety is becoming the most significant element of development. This factor cannot be omitted in any strategic documents that constitute specific procedures determining the category of national security. Undoubtedly, however, it appears to be increasingly deficient in these sectors of socio-economic life, in which there is increasing social disorientation, and thus the risk increases

The Impact

This article is dedicated to elaboration of the conceptual model and methodology for assessing the efficiency of language policy as the institutional framework of economic policy in the conditions of monolingual region of the Russian Federation. Application of the constructivist approach allowed determining the important role of symbolic space as an environment of the influence of language policy on economic development. The article substantiates the idea of transformation of the basic symbolic metaphor of language, which consists in transition from the metaphor of language as a “mirror"” to the metaphor of language as a “dialogue”. It is underlined that such transformation reorients language policy towards the perception of language as the active means for constructing social reality and socioeconomic relations, as well as forces to constantly clarify and revise its functional role in the economic culture. The novelty of this work consists in elaboration of the conceptual model and methodology for assessing the efficiency of language policy as the institutional framework of economic policy in the conditions of monolingual region. It is proven that there is a dependence, as well as immediate vicarious link between the language policy and the level of economic development of the region. The author establishes that namely the economic literacy is the resulting relevant criterion for assessing efficiency of the impact of language policy upon economic development of the region. It demonstrated that comprehensive assessment of efficiency of the impact of language policy upon economic development of the region is feasible within the framework of administrative, academic, educational, information and cultural management tools.

And Training

This paper reports the findings of a research project that examined the role of training in two government-initiated, economic regeneration programs implemented in Canada and in England. The paper proposes that training programs, especially those found as part of economic development schemes, must be understood within the broader political economy into which economic development programs are introduced. An analysis of economic, policy, and training literature reveals that training often remains unconnected to either economic development or broader policy discussions.
