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.

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.

In the framework of broad philosophic and historical context the author conducts comparative analysis of the conditions for assimilating liberal values in leading countries of the modern world and in Russia. He defends the idea of inevitable forward movement of Russia on the way of rationalization and cultivation of all aspects of life, but, to his opinion, it will occur not so fast as the "first wave" reformers thought and in other ideological and sociocultural forms than in Europe and America. The author sees the main task of the reformist forces in Russia in consolidation of the society and inplementation of socially responsible economic policy.

It is possible to pass on to the analysis of specific issues of economic policy by forming several sub-groups in every "analytical" group. The article also considers the structure of Russian economy which was formed as a result of transformational crisis’ influence on Soviet economy, and relevant international comparisons. Main alternative ways of transition to innovational development are the renewal of Soviet "triangle economy" (the scenario "Mobilization") and complex institutional changes (the scenario "Modernization").
