Описание: This book is a study of workers activism and labour unions in the eight years between the recognition of Indonesian sovereignty by the Netherlands at the end of December 1949 and the nationalisation of Dutch assets in December 1957.  It contributes to a re-evaluation of the era of liberal parliamentary democracy in Indonesia. The focus is on the agency of workers and the structures, strategies and industrial campaigns of unions in the context of intense ideological conflict, competing union federations, the opposition of employers to collective action and the efforts by the Indonesian state to manage industrial conflict. The imposition of martial law in March 1957 was the deathblow to parliamentary democracy and to the freedom of workers and unions to engage in collective action.  It was not until Suharto's 'New Order' regime collapsed in 1998 that Indonesian workers regained the freedom of association and the right to engage incollective action.

Описание: The most significant debate in global economic history over the past twenty years has dealt with the Great Divergence, the economic gap between different parts of the world. Thus far, this debate has focused on China, India and north-western Europe, particularly Great Britain. This book shifts the focus to ask how Japan became the only non-western county that managed, at least partially, to modernize its economy and start to industrialize in the 19th century. Using a range of empirical data, Peer Vries analyses the role of the state in Japan’s economic growth from the Meiji Restoration to World War II, and asks whether Japan’s economic success can be attributed to the rise of state power. Asserting that the state’s involvement was fundamental in Japan’s economic ‘catching up’, he demonstrates how this was built on legacies from the previous Tokugawa period. In this book, Vries deepens our understanding of the Great Divergence in global history by re-examining how Japan developed and modernized against the odds.

Описание: This book takes the reader back to the era of industrialisation during the time of apartheid in South Africa, particularly in Butterworth in the Eastern Cape. Butterworth is a microcosm of the industrialisation policy of the apartheid government. Rural towns and townships were centres of economic development where black entrepreneurs were empowered to take over businesses that were started by white industrialists who were funded by government.

Butterworth makes a juxtaposition between the apartheid economic policy and job creation initiatives and those of the current democratic government which fails to stimulate the economy to create jobs for majority of South Africans. Those industrial sites are currently lying dormant as white elephants and have eventually closed down. Despite apartheid being a crime against humanity and also exploitative in paying lower wages especially to women, it had sound economic policies that created jobs for thousands of people via industrialisation. Therefore, there are valuable lessons that the democratic government can learn from the apartheid administration as far as job creation is concerned.

However, corruption is the biggest enemy of development and available funding does not filter down to entrepreneurs as it is diverted and looted by politicians via patronage. Economic development and job creation should not just be a prerogative of government alone; the private sector needs to invest in black businesses instead of investing in what politicians call 'white monopoly capital'. Equally, banks also need to participate positively by eradicating stringent requirements in issuing loans to black entrepreneurs to stimulate economic activity.

Описание: Why did the Industrial Revolution happen in Western Europe? Was it a sudden acceleration of the European economy, or should we look at specific institutions arising in Western Europe since the Middle Ages? This book puts these big questions of European economic history in a global perspective, deals with the institutions that developed in Europe, and measures their relative efficiency over time and compared with other parts of Eurasia. It traces the growth of human capital in the centuries between 1000 and 1800, in comparison with China, Japan and India. It also demonstrates how important the European Marriage Pattern was for understanding Europe’s past. The result is a new synthesis of the origins of the Industrial Revolution.Originally published in hardcover.

Описание: In this book, economist Jean-Philippe Platteau addresses the question: does Islam, the religion of Muslims, bear some responsibility for a lack of economic development in the countries in which it dominates? In his nuanced approach, Platteau challenges the widespread view that the doctrine of Islam is reactionary in the sense that it defends tradition against modernity and individual freedom. He also questions the view that fusion between religion and politics is characteristic of Islam and predisposes it to theocracy. He disagrees with the substantivist view that Islam is a major obstacle to modern development because of a merging of religion and the state, or a fusion between the spiritual and political domains. But he also identifies how Islam's decentralized organization, in the context of autocratic regimes, may cause political instability and make reforms costly.
