▼ This dissertation examines the nature of party competition in the African democracies. Political parties are an integral part of contemporary democracy where their choices of favored policies create winners and losers and therefore supporters and opponents. Yet the role of parties vis-?-vis policy choice remains poorly understood in Africa. I scrutinize economic interests, whose policy preferences are collective but also exclusive, that form the bases of political support for parties. I argue that industrial sectors shape the basis of party support. I examine case studies of African democracies that have experienced partisan alternation in power to learn how parties have strategically transformed the sizes and the dimensionality of their support bases and how they vary over time and across countries. My first case is Ghana where the two major parties have managed to develop stable, multiethnic support bases. While each party has its stronghold, economically and ethnically defined, a candidate cannot win the presidency without appealing to the unattached voters. The example of Zambia shows how parties can and do adapt the “shapes” of their support bases by shifting the dimension of political competition from ethnic cleavages to policy issues and by narrowing the range of a targeted support base. While a largest voting bloc on any dimension is often sufficiently large to set the basis of a winning coalition, if politicians are successful in reducing its size to a smallest winning, they gain most benefits possible. But if they overshoot, they can lose everything. In my third empirical chapter, I examine how economic interests based on agricultural subsectors account for seemingly ethnic coalitions in Kenya. The case study highlights voting behavior of cross-pressured voters whose ethnicity and economic stakes pull them in different directions. The vote decisions by the co-ethnics of the third place presidential candidates reveal that the sector-based voting provides a powerful explanation of the political coalitions even in ethnically divided countries. The main argument is that African parties are “normal,” in that they do not exclusively trade in clientelistic favors for ethnic kin, but also offer policy promises to attract broader support.

▼ Urbanization in the global south has made the relationship between ethnic proximity and politics increasingly important. The literature mainly studies either the social or the
political effects of proximity, without distinguishing between them or exploring their relationship to one another. I reconcile the two sides of this literature by developing a theory about the relationship between the social and the
political consequences of ethnic proximity. To measure heterogeneity and proximity in dynamic and data-poor urban environments, I develop novel measurements of individual outgroup exposure and neighborhood-level segregation. To test my theory, I apply the exposure metric to original data from slums in three Indian cities, and find support for my claim that proximity has distinct effects on social and
political relations between groups. I then explore the relationship between neighborhood-level collective action and social mobility. I find that collective
political mobilization has a substantial impact on lived outcomes, through the mechanism of services.

▼ Eight years after the 2008 Global Financial crisis the global economy continued to muddle through weak economic growth. At the same time elected officials have lashed against the post-war trend toward greater economic integration, as illustrated by the election of Donald Trump in the United States and the United Kingdom's vote to withdraw from the European Union. This dissertation argues that the relationship between economic growth and policies favoring economic integration are deeply intertwined. I argue that trade interdependence played an important role in causing policymakers to roll back expansionary fiscal policies before a robust recovery had taken hold. This anemic economic recovery then increased the policy influence of interest groups with more protectionist policy preferences. This dissertation, therefore, integrates economic interdependence with domestic politics to deepen our understanding of economic policy choices. To this point, however, the international political economy literature remains largely divided with respect to levels of analysis. At the domestic level, researchers continue to analyze domestic preferences and institutions as if they are independent from others states in the global economy; while at the systemic level, researchers tend to analyze relations between states independent from domestic politics. Much of this division is methodological. Until recently, statistical models assumed observations were independently distributed, forcing researchers to assume away interdependence in statistical analyses. This project takes advantage of recent advances in spatial econometrics that help to account for interdependence between units to offer a more complete understanding of domestic level policies.

▼ My research examines the political role of unions, as the collective voice of Canadian cultural workers, in connection to the cultural policies that shape their memberships’ personal and professional lives. I examine the policy advocacy strategies of Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists; the Directors Guild of Canada; the Writers Guild of Canada; the Communication, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada; and the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees IATSE, as members of federal and provincial cultural policy networks. I argue that changes in cultural policy influence the level of participation and the political strategies of the unions and guilds in federal and provincial cultural policy networks. Shifts in organizational and political strategies affect the ways that unions articulate their interests as policy problems; this, in turn, affects the ways in which issues and problems are understood and acted upon by decision-makers in policy reforms. While most of the unions and guilds, particularly at the federal level, have been active in cultural policy networks for several decades, unions at both federal and provincial levels are increasingly partnering with the employers – the independent producers – in their policy interventions. Analysis of my case studies leads me to conclude that this strategy is paradoxical for unions. While a partnership approach from a “production industry” standpoint arguably increases union access to and credibility with policy decision-makers, it can compromise or obscure how unions articulate cultural policy problems as labour problems. When unions engage in policy advocacy either independently or as a labour coalition, the direct relationship between cultural policy and its specific impact on labour markets and working conditions is most evident.

Banking on States? The divergent trajectories of European finance after the crisis.

▼ Many conventional theories in Economics and Political Science stress that the liberalization and globalization of finance have homogenized the behavior of state and market actors. Some even go so far as to assume that states have become irrelevant actors. However, these theories cannot account for empirical observations laid out in my dissertation research: that responses to the financial crisis in Europe have largely been crafted at the national level. Since the crisis of 2008, there have been different trajectories of finance across Europe. In France, banks have grown bigger, as they have developed their operations in market-based banking as well as in traditional banking, both globally and at home. In Germany, Deutsche Bank maintained, and even developed, its global market activities until 2014-5. On the other side, local banks have reinforced their incumbent position in domestic retail markets. British banks have shrunk quite dramatically. They have largely retreated from the game of global finance, while foreign financial institutions have continued to use the infrastructures provided by the City of London as a base for their global market operations. Now, which actors dominate the national financial system, and how those actors operate the financial intermediation between surpluses and needs of capital, have important distributive and functional consequences for the whole political economy. I argue that divergent national trajectories of finance result from the differentiated influence of public authorities on banks’ management, through the passing of diverse regulation, through the differentiated enforcement of international regulation, or through direct intervention of public authorities towards banks’ management. For this research, I have led a comparison of 12 financial regulation policies and cases of regulation enforcement in France, German and the since 2008. I have questioned each national version of a financial policy according to whether they tend to hinder/permit/enhance the expansion of large banks, globally and at home. I find that everywhere, states have been pro-active in the shaping of the post-crisis domestic financial landscapes; yet they have promoted very different re-organizations of their domestic financial industries. The divergent priorities of the state towards finance can be explained by different institutionalized modes of coordination between private and public actors across political economies. In France, symbiotic mechanisms of interaction between domestic bankers and government officials have led to the crafting of mutually benefiting compromises in response to the crisis. French state officials have thus to a large extent abided by banks' preferences. Yet, this outcome is to understand in mirror of the reciprocal character of the relationship: in important cases, banks also complied with state's preferences. In Germany, local governments have systematically opposed policies that may have been detrimental to "their" local public banks. On the other side, the urge to promote one…

▼ Middle Income Countries (MICs) can use either official development finance or private markets when borrowing abroad. Each of these options provide different benefits and costs. How do MICs decide which option to prioritize? Why do MIC borrowing preferences vary? This study develops and tests a theory of partisan external borrowing preferences in MICs. Controlling for global and national economic conditions, right governments are more likely to use official financing while left governments are more likely to use private financing. The only time this is not the case is when there is an exceptionally large deficit, forcing the MIC to use creditors they would not otherwise. Fractioned regression and panel data models test the argument quantitatively, while four country case studies of Thailand, South Africa, Botswana, and Peru trace and illustrate the causal process. Explaining why borrowing preferences systematically vary across MICs has policy and theoretical implications with respect to debt sustainability, policy autonomy, and international financial relations in developing countries. Politically constrained borrowing also signals that transparency is essential for effective debt management in finance ministries.

▼ In the past, research into the field of human rights has treated regime as a dichotomous variable and divided the type of governmental structure into either autocracies or democracies. By lumping all democracies into one category, all variation between different categories of governmental composition is discarded and it is difficult to examine the differences between types of democratic governments and their human rights capacities. Due to their tendency to accrete power centrally, presidential democracies are thought to repress the rights of citizens more often and severely than parliamentary systems. Further, an exogenous shock to the political system, such as the threat or the imposition of an economic sanction is expected to act as a catalyst for repression. Using three different datasets of indicators of physical integrity human rights from a global sample over the years of 1976-1990 for two datasets and 1981-1990 for another, democracies are indeed shown to differ in their propensity to violate human rights. The effect of economic sanctions is negligible and is only significant in one model.

Our Resources, Our Rules: A Political Economy of Resource Nationalism in Indonesia

▼ Indonesia is a major exporter of the world’s mineral and
agro-commodities. During the global commodity boom, which took
place roughly from 2003 to 2013, Indonesia’s resource sectors
were subject to new nationalist agitation and intervention. The
government placed limits on foreign investment, and restricted
raw commodity exports. These policies, therefore, disrupted
global markets and angered foreign companies and trading
partners. Nationalist intervention was remarkably aggressive in
some sectors, such as mineral mining; in others, however, like
the booming palm oil sector, nationalist policy proposals failed.
What explains this nationalist variation?
Conventional market-cycle theories suggest resource nationalism
rises and falls in tandem with commodity prices. However,
external shocks cannot explain the varied policy responses we
find throughout resource-rich countries, and across their
resource sectors. Nor can market-centred theories explain why
nationalist interventions sometimes persist long after a boom has
ended. Variation tells us that nationalism is contingent - but
contingent upon what exactly? What are the mechanisms that lead
from a price boom to very different nationalist outcomes? What
makes some resources more vulnerable to nationalist mobilisation
than others? Why do states behave differently in different
sectors?
To answer these questions, this thesis brings recent comparative
work on resource nationalism into conversation with classic
political economy scholarship on business, politics and economic
policymaking. It refocuses the analytical lens upon sector-level
variation, holding state-level conditions constant, and offering
a structured comparison of varied nationalist outcomes in
Indonesia’s mining, commercial plantations, and oil and gas
sectors.
The principal contention of this thesis is that nationalist
variation was a function of the preferences and capabilities of
prevailing domestic business interests. While nationalist policy
networks in each sector included a range of actors from the
bureaucracy, private sector and civil society, those networks
prevailed when they enjoyed support from an expanded and
materially-powerful class of domestic resource companies. The
subsidiary contention is that business’s policy preferences and
capabilities were conditioned by each sector’s unique
structural conditions – such as dependence upon and integration
with foreign capital, levels of business internationalisation,
contribution to state revenue and developmental goals, and each
commodity’s centrality to broader nationalist narratives. In
other words, variation was contingent on structural conditions in
each sector that gave rise to, and enabled, effective nationalist
policy networks.
This study is motivated by an empirical puzzle about…

▼ This thesis examines and compares current labour migration management of non-EU workers in Germany, France and the United Kingdom. It aims to explain cross-national similarities and differences from an interpretive policy analysis perspective. The research entails analyses of 33 legal documents and in-depth interviews with 25 high-ranking policy-makers and is anchored in case contexts. In order to gain comparative explanations the analysis maps legal classifications and rights regimes governing incoming migrant workers, explores meanings policy-makers vest in these, and thereby reconstructs the economic, social and political normative references these meanings entail in comparative perspective. By conceptualising migration policy as border-drawing I challenge the main stream migration policy literature, offering an alternative approach which changes the parameters of policy analysis more generally. While most migration policy research concentrates on explaining the control gap between restrictive admission policies and de facto migratory flows, I shift the analytical focus towards states’ power to define legal and illegal positions through policy and allocate rights in a differential way. Empirically, I overcome partial policy accounts by contributing a multidimensional analysis of labour migration policy across its economic, social, and politico-formal dimension, and develop an innovative methodology to explain crossnational variation in the interaction of these aspects. By associating each dimension with a specific borderdrawing site – capitalist coordination system, welfare state regime, and citizenship model – the thesis utilises regime theories to develop benchmarks for the empirical analysis while at the same time testing the explanatory scope of these theories in the field of labour migration. Migrant workers are selected by skill level and labour scarcity in all three cases in line with widely shared economic values surrounding labour migration agendas. Yet, the analysis also pinpoints considerable divergences when selecting migrants by origin, social cohesion concerns or with annual caps. The variable labour geographies into which migrant workers are admitted – mainly relating to post-colonial relationships, distinct uses of EU free movement, and demographic context – are seized by policy actors to selectively contextualise economic border-drawing. It is this distinct socio-political contextualisation of a shared cultural political economy of labour migration which explains similarities and differences in European labour migration management. The thesis hence contributes an empirically detailed understanding of an integrating EU common market which coexists with persistently diverging labour geographies and societies. Findings bear considerable policy implications in terms of European integration and the unequal distribution of labour mobility rights for migrants in Europe.

▼ The last decade has witnessed the substantial adoption of renewable energy in several advanced capitalist economies. This adoption has not been uniform. Germany, despite its geographically limited energy resources from solar and wind, generates more than one-third of its electricity from renewable energy sources, while Australian electricity generation remains dominated by fossil fuels, despite its huge renewable energy resources. The objective of this thesis is to examine why some capitalist economies have implemented policies leading to a greater use of renewable energy and others have not. In particular, Germany and Australia are compared. Two complementary analytical approaches – the Varieties of Capitalism micro approach and Régulation Theory’s macro approach – are applied to identify the social relationships,
political ideologies, and institutional architecture facilitating or hindering the adoption of renewable energy. This thesis finds that Germany’s adoption of renewable energy policy has been favoured by social cohesion supported by social security and labour welfare,
political activism focused on energy and environmental issues, and consistent state intervention to balance socio-economic inequities. In addition, financial institutions supporting new technology uptake, innovation as the guiding principle for employment, education and firm-state relations, and international competitiveness in energy security, have driven the adoption of renewable energy policy. In comparison, Australia has a critical barrier to the adoption of renewable energy policy in the strong influence of neoliberal ideological principles, which are selectively implemented, and thus rising individualism, high living costs and social inequality. Other barriers are: the prioritisation of economic gains over social welfare and the divorce of economic policy objectives from social and environmental policies. Finally, business elites, including the fossil fuel industry, have shaped investment decisions and directed capital flows towards sectors with short-term high-revenue gains. These institutional arrangements define Australia’s position within the global
economy and create substantial barriers for renewable energy policy adoption.The
comparative analysis of this thesis shows that harmonisation between
political, economic and social players, and the integration of renewable energy policy at multiple governance levels, is needed to generate an institutional and cultural environment supportive of widespread renewable electricity adoption.

▼ This dissertation is comprised of three essays on the
political economy of the Philippines. It combines a variety of methods – historical and qualitative analysis, interviews, and statistical analysis – to examine various aspects of the interaction of politics and economics in the country. The first chapter examines the relationship between horizontal
political dynasties and economic outcomes. I argue that horizontal dynasties – more than one member of a
political family holding office simultaneously – allow members of the dynasties to coordinate over policy by circumventing veto points in the policy processes. This leads to higher spending on public goods. I further show that this increase in spending is not associated with improved development, suggesting that the increased spending is used inefficiently. The second chapter examines the interaction of rank and gender norms in dynastic politics. I argue that male candidates are more likely to replace higher ranking female, candidates, but the inverse is not true. This rationalizes existing strategies by dynasties such as benchwarming. The third chapter argues for the positive long-run effect of the colonial Catholic mission. Municipalities that had a colonial mission are more developed and have higher levels of state capacity today. This is because missions functioned as de facto states and vehicles for the establishment of local government. This chapter emphasizes that missions were not merely religious or educational institutions but vehicles for governance.

▼ This dissertation is a contribution to a theory of ludocapitalism, understood as the incorporation of the concept of game-playing into capitalism in contemporary technoculture. The term is derived from the Latin word ludus, meaning game or play. By this compound term, I mean to describe a hybrid or transitional moment of capitalism that describes its processes of commodity production and capital accumulation through reference to play as a central concept of human activity and social organization, superseding the concept of work as the locus of rationality in traditional capitalist labor formations. Through a (post)humanistic study of the discourses and practices of software and game development viewed as paradigmatic instantiations of conditions of ludocapitalism, I develop an approach to engage these practices in ethical-political discourse derived from the critical theory tradition.In this dissertation, I relate this dialectic of play to classical discourses of modernity in order to draw comparisons, contrasts and historical transitions from the liberal human subject of the Enlightenment to a technoliberal, posthuman subject prompted by the computerization of society and the expansion of digital play. A central question of this dissertation is whether and in what modified form traditional discourses of critical theory can maintain relevance in this techno-ludic context. Through an analysis of the ambiguity of play and creativity in discourses of game design and software development, and as a complement to textual and rhetorical theories of digital media, I advance a critical approach to digital game and software studies, attentive to the ambivalent potential of specific technical-social platforms upon which these new forms of media are constructed, with an aim to advance and reconfigure the conditions of ludocapitalist society toward better sustaining our collective forms of life.

▼ This thesis develops and applies an institutional governance approach to the economic problem of entrepreneurial discovery of market opportunities. In doing so it expands understanding of one of the fundamental drivers of economic growth, innovation, and contributes both to institutional economics and entrepreneurial theory. This thesis applies the analytical approaches and theories of institutional mainline economics—including transaction cost economics, entrepreneurial theory, common pool resource management and new comparative political economy—to analyse the governance choices of entrepreneurs in the earliest stages of entrepreneurial discovery. Early stage entrepreneurs face an economic problem of coordinating non-price information about future market opportunities with others, under uncertainty, with non-zero transaction costs. This new contract-theoretic approach to the innovation problem does not emphasise a market failure of a misallocation of investment to innovation activities, but rather emphasises the entrepreneurial problem of the governance of knowledge under uncertainty to discover actionable market opportunities. The main proposition is that it may be transaction cost economising for an early stage entrepreneur to privately self-govern opportunity discovery in polycentric hybrids called innovation commons. This theoretical development is applied to the cases of hackerspaces and the hybrid organisations coalescing around blockchain technology. The role of innovation commons also has implications for the political economy of the institutions of innovation policy. As such, this dissertation has three structural parts—theoretical development, application and political economy—that converge on the theme of the private collective action governance of entrepreneurial discovery. The first part of the thesis theoretically develops a transaction cost economics approach to entrepreneurial discovery of market opportunities. The first contribution is to shift the conventional choice-theoretic market failure analysis of the innovation problem—which focuses on allocation and investment of innovation resources—to a contract-theoretic analysis, which focuses on the entrepreneur and the transaction costs they face. In the earliest stages of entrepreneurial discovery the primary economic problem facing the entrepreneur is coordinating distributed, uncertain and non-price information to reveal actionable market opportunities. Given the information proto-entrepreneurs require to solve their economic problem is distributed about the economy in the minds of others, and that coordinating this information faces non-zero transaction costs, the proto-entrepreneurial innovation problem is primarily a comparative institutional governance problem. Given that the structure of transaction costs shifts throughout an innovation trajectory—as the economic problem moves from one of discovering opportunities to exploiting those opportunities—so too may the…

▼ This dissertation focuses on industrial policy in two developing countries: Peru and Ecuador. Informed by comparative historical analysis, it explains how the Import-Substitution Industrialization policies promoted during the 1970s by military administration unravelled in the following 30 years under the guidance of Washington Consensus policies. Positioning political economy in time, the research objectives were two-fold: understanding long-term policy reform patterns, including the variables that conditioned cyclical versus path-dependent dynamics of change and; secondly, investigating the direction and leverage of state institutions supporting the manufacturing sector at the dawn, peak and consolidation of neoliberal discourse in both countries.
Three interconnected causal mechanisms explain the divergence of trajectories: institutional legacies, coordination among actors and economic distribution of power. Peru’s long tradition of a minimal state contrasts with the embedded character of Ecuador long tradition of legal protectionism dating back to the Liberal Revolution. Peru’s close policy coordination among stakeholders –state technocrats and business elites- differs from Ecuador’s “winners-take-all” approach for policy-making. Peru’s economic dynamism concentrated in Lima sharply departs from Ecuador’s competitive regional economic leaderships.
This dissertation paid particular attention to methodology to understand the intersection between structure and agency in policy change. Tracing primary and secondary sources, as well as key pieces of legislation, became critical to understand key turning points and long-term patterns of change. Open-ended interviews (N=58) with two stakeholder groups (business elites and bureaucrats) compounded the effort to knit motives, discourses, and interests behind this long transition. In order to understand this amount of data, this research build an index of policy intervention as a methodological contribution to assess long patterns of policy change. These findings contribute to the current literature on State-market relations and varieties of capitalism, institutional change, and policy reform.

▼ The two decades preceding the global financial crisis of 2008 saw an increase in international migration flows. This development was accompanied by the relaxation of immigration entry controls for select categories of foreign workers across the developed world. The scale of labour immigration, and the categories of foreign workers granted entry, varied considerably across states. To some extent, these developments transcended the traditional classifications of comparative immigration politics. This thesis examines the reform process in two states with contrasting policy legacies that adopted liberal labour immigration selection and control policies during the abovementioned period. The instrumental role that immigration has played in the process of nation-building in Australia has led it to be classified as a 'traditional destination state' with a positive immigration policy legacy. By contrast, immigration has not been significant in the formation of national identity in the United Kingdom. It has a more negative immigration policy legacy and is generally regarded as a 'reluctant state'. Examining the reasons for liberal shifts in labour immigration policy in two states with different immigration politics allows insights to be gained into the processes of policy-making and the dynamics that underpin it. In Australia, labour immigration controls were relaxed incrementally and through a deliberative process. Reform was justified on the grounds that it fulfilled economic needs and objectives, and was consistent with an accepted definition of the national interest. In the UK, liberal shifts in labour immigration policy were the incidental consequence of the pursuit of objectives in other policy areas. Reform was implemented unilaterally, and in an uncoordinated manner characterised by an absence of consultation. The contrast in the manner in which reform was managed by the various actors, institutions and stakeholders involved in the process both reflected, and served to reinforce, the immigration policy legacies of the two states. Moreover, the Howard government used Australia's positive legacy to construct a coherent narrative to justify the implementation of liberal reform.

▼ The two decades preceding the global financial crisis of 2008 saw an increase in international migration flows. This development was accompanied by the relaxation of immigration entry controls for select categories of foreign workers across the developed world. The scale of labour immigration, and the categories of foreign workers granted entry, varied considerably across states. To some extent, these developments transcended the traditional classifications of comparative immigration politics.
This thesis examines the reform process in two states with contrasting policy legacies that adopted liberal labour immigration selection and control policies during the abovementioned period. The instrumental role that immigration has played in the process of nation-building in Australia has led it to be classified as a ‘traditional destination state’ with a positive immigration policy legacy. By contrast, immigration has not been significant in the formation of national identity in the United Kingdom. It has a more negative immigration policy legacy and is generally regarded as a ‘reluctant state’. Examining the reasons for liberal shifts in labour immigration policy in two states with different immigration politics allows insights to be gained into the processes of policy-making and the dynamics that underpin it.
In Australia, labour immigration controls were relaxed incrementally and through a deliberative process. Reform was justified on the grounds that it fulfilled economic needs and objectives, and was consistent with an accepted definition of the national interest. In the UK, liberal shifts in labour immigration policy were the incidental consequence of the pursuit of objectives in other policy areas. Reform was implemented unilaterally, and in an uncoordinated manner characterised by an absence of consultation.
The contrast in the manner in which reform was managed by the various actors, institutions and stakeholders involved in the process both reflected, and served to reinforce, the immigration policy legacies of the two states. Moreover, the Howard government used Australia’s positive legacy to construct a coherent narrative to justify the implementation of liberal reform. This generated greater immediate and lasting support for its reforms among stakeholders and the broader community. By contrast, lacking a similarly positive legacy, the Blair government in the UK found it difficult to create such a narrative, which contributed to the unpopularity of its reforms.
This thesis therefore argues that policy legacies had a significant impact on the processes and dynamics that shaped labour immigration selection and control decisions during the recent wave of international migration. The cases demonstrate that a nation’s past immigration policy experiences shape its policy-making structures, as well as institutional and stakeholder policy preferences, which are core constituent components of a nation’s immigration politics. The UK case shows that even when reluctant states implement liberal labour immigration…

▼ The central aim of this dissertation is to make an unambiguous international trade policy recommendation for developing countries grounded on rigorous economic theory. As is generally known, trade models featuring increasing returns to scale and imperfect competition have challenged the mainstream case for free trade which is built upon unrealistic assumptions like constant return to scale and perfect competition. In this context, the core contribution of this dissertation is the restatement of the original free-trade case made by the classical political economists Adam Smith and David Ricardo. This restatement is based on the accurate interpretation of Ricardo's famous numerical example in chapter 7 of the Principles. The classical case for free trade formulated by Smith and Ricardo neither relies on unrealistic assumptions nor the laissez-faire doctrine. On the contrary, it stipulates that free trade should always be accompanied by public policies that expand the provision of public education, job training, health care and infrastructure. Moreover, a widespread policy change towards free trade should always be implemented gradually, in order to take care of those groups who might be affected in the short run by the increased level of international competition and technological progress. The main conclusion of the dissertation is that free trade - as conceived by classical political economy - is the most suitable international trade policy for developed as well developing countries for achieving sustainable economic growth and development.

▼ The thesis explores puzzling change in Chinese state sector over the past two decades. China’s debt-ridden state-owned enterprises (SOEs) were long seen as the most thorny reform dilemma; however, in the past decade, the surging profitability of large SOEs in the so-called “monopoly sectors” (longduan hangye 垄断行业) have made them lynchpins of an emerging state capitalist system. The main argument is that the state sector’s apparent reversal of fortunes is, in large measure, a legacy of the brief period of neoconservative rule (1989-1992) following the Tiananmen uprising in spring 1989. The fleeting ascendance of Chen Yun’s neoconservative faction provided them the opportunity to redirect the reform course set by Deng Xiaoping and embed a market vision which saw SOEs as pillars of the economy. The neoconservative leadership laid the normative and institutional foundations of a robust SOE-directed industrial policy regime which has gained momentum through the 1990s and into the last decade.
The study also sheds lights on the political and economic drivers of China’s unfolding market order through analysis of the industry foundations of China’s emerging state capitalist system. In recent years, state ownership has concentrated in some industries and largely retreated from others. What is driving this process of what Pei (2006) terms the “selective withdrawal” of the state from the economy? To address this question, the nature of ownership change across Chinese industry in recent years is first analyzed. Focus then shifts to comparative analysis of the reform pathway of two industries in which state ownership remains dominant: telecommunications and airlines. Combining insights from the partial reform equilibrium model and historical institutionalism, the study argues that both the particularist interests of “short-term winners” in industry and the neoconservative policy legacy have left an imprint on the process of selective withdrawal.

▼ This dissertation explains how the balance of power influences the incidence of international trade agreements. It shows the interaction of factors from the disciplines of Economics, Politics, and International Relations. Specifically, it shows the influence of the balance of power within three cases of trade agreements. The following cases illustrate how states, when negotiating agreements, respond to power competition. This influence of power within state relations is a social interaction but also one where individual states respond. Some of those responses include trade agreements with other states. Systems influence the decisions of negotiators involved in trade agreements. As the cases illustrate, state leaders respond to the power dynamics of the parties involved in negotiations as well as those outside the negotiations. Therefore, this dissertation shines a light on an under-explored conditioning variable in International
Political Economy literature and points to examples where it is relevant in influencing trade agreements. Also, it considers alternative explanations related to the occurrence of trade agreements including hegemony, economics, and politics. It shows that the absence of the balance of power variable would result in an incomplete analysis of why trade agreements occur.

▼ This study seeks to understand the differences in post-industrial redevelopment among the cities of Buffalo, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. Part of the so-called "rust belt," these three cities experienced industrial decline from the 1960s through the 1980s, largely as a result of the economic globalization of heavy industry. Intensive manufacturing and output had come to a screeching halt, unemployment skyrocketed, outmigration ensued, and each metropolitan area faced formidable challenges to convert to service-oriented industries. Over the past twenty years, these cities, and the regions that encompass them, have begun to redevelop, although unevenly. At a glance, the Pittsburgh region appears to be regenerating better than Cleveland and Buffalo. How well has each city post-industrialized? Why are there differences?
I hypothesize that differences in the dependent variable—post-industrializationcan be partly explained by three independent variables—regulatory burden, size of service sector prior to deindustrialization, and capital accumulation. These three hypotheses are tested using a
comparative and qualitative research design informed by the liberal institutionalist school of thought. The findings have implications for global deindustrialized cities struggling to post-industrialize.
Ultimately, I find that Pittsburgh has economically outperformed its rust belt counterparts because of its lower regulatory burden, more robust service sector prior to deindustrialization, which insulated the region from the shock of the rapid decline of steel, and higher availability of venture capital.

▼ The literature on constrained economic voting emphasizes how voters hold politicians
less accountable for economic outcomes when those politicians have less control over
policy (e.g., Duch & Stevenson, 2008; Hellwig 2008; Powell & Whitten, 1993). This
literature, however, is based on the highly problematic assumption that elections
are xed events that the aected politicians have no capacity to manipulate. This
dissertation considers how our empirical expectations of accountability relationships change when election timing is fungible by parties both in and out of power. The dissertation shows that dierent types of elections result from variations in economic performance, and the capacity of both the prime minister and the opposition to call elections at will. Because the institutions that constrain or empower dierent actors in parliament to bring about elections covary with those typically used in clarity of responsibility arguments, the weak direct eects found in previous studies between institutions, economics, and election outcomes are better explained by the consideration of strategic politicians opportunistically timing elections. I show that the type of election mediates the eect of the
economy on the retention of the prime minister in 19 parliamentary countries for elections between 1967 and 2010. The implications of the economic vote for democratic accountability are thrown into question, as the
economy's primary eect on election outcomes is through the incentive for strategic politicians to call elections.

▼ Since 2008 the countries of the Eurozone have seen social upheaval and economic crisis on an unprecedented scale. Sociological explanations for European development and crisis have relied either on an neoinstitutionalist approach, seeing the region as a coalescing “field” of social interaction, or an approach a collection of disparate “varieties” of economy, supposing that Southern European states were profligate in their spending or wage policies compared to Germany and other Northern states. In contrast, this study uses global political economy and post-Keynesian economics to analyze the sharp inequalities between Western Europe’s economies, the unusual structure of pan-European economic governance institutions, and the way these interacted to cause the post-2008 crisis. I argue that Europe’s uneven political economy, in which a “neomercantilist” North centered on Germany has grown by extracting export surpluses from the debt-addled South, is a crucial component of any explanation for why Northern and Southern member states display such divergent models of social development and why pan-European institutions took their current form. I use Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), a software-aided method of case comparison, as an initial test of competing crisis explanations, mapping the Eurozone’s Northern and Southern blocs over the 1999-2007 period. This revealed bloc structure then informs a multi-chapter historical case study of European development since 1945, putting the neomercantilist explanation in dialogue with competing sociological theories at each step. Comparative-historical methods are employed to demonstrate that pan-European institutions such as the European Central Bank (ECB) were shaped by this neomercantilist relationship between Northern and Southern countries and thus tend to exacerbate between-country inequalities. More fundamentally, I argue that the disparate social models found across Europe were also shaped by this neomercantilist relationship, rather than being a sui generis result of each country’s own particularities. Explaining who won and lost in the wake of the crisis therefore depends, at base, on this neomercantilist linkage, and the way it determined both the social models installed in each European country and the restrictive institutional framework of the Euro itself.

▼ Why do some democracies redistribute more than others? In this dissertation, I examine how executive-legislative and electoral institutions, two fundamental dimensions in the design of democratic constitutions, influence redistributive policy. To do so, I develop and empirically evaluate three analytical models that emphasize that these
political institutions matter for taxes and transfers because they shape the outcome of partisan conflict over redistribution. Taken together, the theoretical arguments and empirical findings suggest that candidate selection, the partisan composition of government and the bargaining power of the chief executive constitute an important set of mechanisms through which democratic constitutions influence policy. The emphasis on institutional explanations based on
political parties that represent divergent societal interests stands in contrast to the common view in the
political economy literature that institutions mainly matter for policy because they shape the incentives of identical rent-seeking politicians.
In the first part, I argue that public spending is lower in presidential than in parliamentary democracies because the separation of executive and legislative power under presidentialism reduces the frequency and bargaining power of left governments. Using cross-sectional and panel data covering a global set of democracies, I find evidence consistent with key implications of this argument. In the second part, I suggest that electoral institutions shape partisan conflict over redistribution differently than previously thought. In particular, parties competing for the power to set redistributive policy in majoritarian electoral systems can use legislative recruitment to make credible appeals to pivotal middle-class voters despite the absence of external commitment. In line with this logic of endogenous commitment, I find cross-national evidence that left parties are more centrist but equally likely to control the chief executive in majoritarian compared to proportional electoral systems. In addition, I exploit a natural experiment in Britain to compare candidate selection under alternative electoral systems. In the final part, I analyze why governments sometimes pursue economic reforms that deviate significantly from their electoral promises and why presidents are more likely than prime ministers to do so. I develop and test the argument that both executive-legislative institutions and economic conditions are crucial determinants of the program-policy link.

▼ It is the argument of this dissertation that states become tax havens as a conscious economic development strategy. These states – more properly referred to as "jurisdictions" because some lack the sovereignty of the traditional Westphalian state – do not have the natural resources or the population to pursue more traditional economic development strategies, but they do have the ability to write or implement laws that create a virtual resource: banking secrecy. These jurisdictions are able to carry out this strategy because they tend to be well-governed, stable, and relatively wealthy, making them attractive partners for the international banking, legal, and accounting firms that drive offshore finance, and then for their customers – both individual and corporate – as well. The qualities tax havens possess also enable them to calculate that the benefits they reap from pursuing this strategy outweigh any penalties assessed by anti-tax haven international collective action activities, such as the naming and shaming campaigns of 2000.

▼ On the evening of November 8th, 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced to a shocked India that the two most common banknotes would thereafter cease to be legal tender. Newly designed notes were printed and dispersed to Indians who were forced to wait in long bank and ATM lines, which frequently ran out of cash due to such high demand. There were reports of people dying in lines, not getting paid their salaries due to the chaos, and losing everything in the resulting inflation that plagued rural farmers. Since then, India has seen a rise in cash usage rates compared to pre-demonetization levels, coupled with a loss of precious GDP and growth rates. On the flip side of the demonetization coin lies Sweden, the most cashless society in the world, whose long transition to predominantly digital payment methods has been accepted by most people. Many factors separate India’s demonetization from Sweden’s. To analyze and compare these two countries that underwent demonetization efforts, their cultural factors, such as uncertainty avoidance, preference for cash, jugaad, and political culture must be studied in addition to the economic factors of the origin of change and income inequality. This study shows that both cultural and economic factors contributed heavily to the origins and impacts of demonetization events in India and Sweden.

▼ Cette thèse porte sur les impacts réels et potentiels des partis de droite radicale (PDR) sur l'économie et évalue ces impacts - quantitativement et qualitativement - en considérant la politique économique et les performances économiques de 27 pays européens.Nous commençons par discuter les définitions de pdr (chapitre 1) et leur position sur les questions économiques (chapitre 2). Nous en déduisons une taxonomie des positions de ces partis sur les questions économiques et confirmons l'hétérogénéité entre les PDR sur ces questions. Le chapitre 3 résume la littérature sur les déterminants politiques de l'économie, dont nous tirons nos hypothèses. Le chapitre 4 teste ces hypothèses à l’aide d’économétrie sur des données de panel. Nous montrons que la présence de PDR semble avoir des effets sur l’économie mais différent en europe de l’est et de l’ouest. En europe de l'est, les scores électoraux des PDR, ainsi que leur inclusion dans une coalition au pouvoir sont significativement liés à l'augmentation des importations et de la diminution des exportations. En europe de l’ouest, leur inclusion dans une coalition au pouvoir est lié à l’accroissement de l'écart entre les taux de chômage de la main-d'oeuvre autochtone et étrangère.Afin de comprendre les mécanismes qui sous-tendent nos résultats, le chapitre 5 propose une contribution originale à l'approche néo-réaliste d'amable et palombarini (2005). Nous soutenons que la politique économique est le résultat de la régulation politique des conflits sociaux et illustrons notre point de vue avec l'étude de cas de la ligue du nord italienne.
This PhD Thesis discusses the actual and potential impacts of Radical Right Parties (RRPs) on the economy and assesses these impacts – quantitatively and qualitatively – by considering the economic policy and performances of 27 European countries.We start discussing the different definitions of RRPs (Chapter 1) and their position on economic issues (Chapter 2 We derive an original taxonomy of RRPs’ positions on economic matters confirming the heterogeneity between RRPs. In Chapter 3, we critically review the literature on the political determinants of the economy and identify three conceptualisations of the ‘political’ in neo-classical economics: opportunistic, partisan, and institutional models. Chapter 4 tests our main hypotheses by using a dynamic panel data model. Results show no significant and robust evidence in support of an impact on authoritarian (e.g. security) and populist (e.g. deficits) indicators. We find evidence in support of a nativist impact, different in Eastern and Western European countries. In Eastern Europe, RRPs’ electoral scores, as well as their inclusion in a ruling coalition, are a significant predictor of increased imports and decreased exports. In Western Europe, RRPs’ strength and presence in a ruling coalition are a significant predictor of increasing gap in unemployment rates between native and foreign workforce.In order to understand the mechanisms behind our results, Chapter 5 proposes an original…

▼ Low-carbon development (LCD) in China and India is crucial to global sustainability. As representatives of the emerging world, China and India have to tackle the LCD challenge at the same time as they address rapid urbanization, industrialization and globalization, making this process an unprecedented problem in policy and practice. My dissertation uses a comparative perspective to examine the unique institutional change processes of China and India's LCD during the period of late 1970s to the present day - through the lens of energy efficiency (EE). I argue that despite the manifold differences in political, economic and social contexts in contemporary China and India, the process of institutional development and change in EE reveals some similar mechanisms. I investigate the common mechanisms through a five-phase framework, and find: First, in both countries, EE was initially triggered by complicated interactions between international and domestic crises. Second, through processes of political negotiation led by various policy groups, EE was conceived and planned by each state to embody not one single objective but multiple political, economic and social development goals. Third, in order to realize EE, an organizational complex formed within an existing governance structure. Fourth, detailed policy processes (which both shape and are shaped by their institutional settings) emerged from the previous stages. Finally, EE institutions are stabilized jointly through legalization and the establishment of specialist technical subfields. I argue that the key mechanism of the five-phase process of institutional change is the bundling structure between EE organizations and the host governance structure. While in China the latter is the structure of economic governance, in India it is that of energy governance. These bundling structures imprinted multiple path-dependencies from the host governance structure to the newly developed EE regime, which in turn determine the long-term impact of EE on LCD in China and India. My original contributions are threefold. First, this project is one of the first scholarly attempts to systematically make sense of LCD in large and complex countries with fast economic growth by using the perspective of institutional change. Second, drawing on broad theoretical resources and through an interdisciplinary exploration, the thesis tries to construct a cause-effect, systemic, and political-economic theory of LCD in contemporary China and India. Finally, my comparative framework adds a systemic and nuanced methodological viewpoint to the emerging field of multidisciplinary China-India comparative scholarship.

▼ China’s global quest for energy has been one of the most fascinating developments of the past twenty years. As Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) have increasingly gone ‘global’ in search of energy resources, scholars have explored the rationale and implications of China’s investment abroad. However, existing studies have yet to examine the ability of Chinese SOEs to complete the intended investment projects. Several studies that have noted this gap suggest that researchers should examine the ability of Chinese SOEs to adapt to different institutional environments (Smith and D’Arcy 2013) and to analyze the responses of local stakeholders to Chinese SOEs’ engagement (Abdenur 2017). Responding to their call, my study aims to explain how domestic political economy (more specifically, institutional arrangements and stakeholder relations) shapes the ability of Chinese SOEs to successfully participate in hydrocarbon projects in a host country.
To answer this question, I conducted a qualitative comparative study of Chinese engagement in the Canadian and Russian hydrocarbon sector. My research consisted of fieldwork, interviews, and library research in Canada and Russia. I utilized within-case studies – by looking at specific hydrocarbon projects where Chinese SOEs indicated interest to participate - to examine the reception of Chinese SOEs’ investment and loans (or other finance) along the hydrocarbon chain in both countries. My analytical framework combined historical institutionalism with stakeholder theories to analyze the ability of Chinese SOEs to participate in hydrocarbon projects in host societies. My framework proposes that stakeholder politics are shaped by an intervening variable, inter-state relations, which influences the receptiveness of stakeholders toward Chinese SOEs.
My research finds that Chinese SOEs’ participation – which includes direct investment, loans, and other finance – in the hydrocarbon industry is determined by host-country institutions and stakeholder politics. Relatedly, Chinese engagement/participation in the hydrocarbon sector varies on the basis of the local needs. I propose that inter-state relations influence the timing of Chinese engagement as they shape stakeholder strategies in recipient countries, while formal and informal institutions interact with stakeholder politics in shaping the ability of Chinese SOEs to participate in hydrocarbon projects. Ultimately, this study explains the responses of investment-recipient countries to foreign direct investment and loans from Chinese SOEs in the hydrocarbon sector. In doing so, it makes theoretical and empirical contributions to the existing scholarship on international business, comparative political economy, and China studies.

▼ In this dissertation, I argue that transnational elites within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have been integrated within a Transnational Capitalist Class (TCC) economically, militarily and politically through relationships that transcend the boundaries of the nation-state. These relationships exist within the context of a global capitalist structure of accumulation that is dependent on the maintenance of a repressive state apparatus in the GCC. There have been few attempts to analyze the relationships that Middle Eastern
political and economic elites have developed with global elite networks. This work fills an important gap in the scholarly literature by linking the
political and economic power of the GCC elites to transnational capitalist class actors in the U.S. and Western Europe. The TCC is comprised of actors who derive their wealth and power from ownership of production or financial activities on a global scale. The embeddedness of GCC elites within the TCC came with the de-centralization of capital accumulation occurring from the 1970s through the present that has linked regional and local capitalists to the ownership activities of transnational capitalist firms. The GCC is an important case study for analyzing the structure and consequences the current phase of globalization due to its relative vi importance in providing resources and financing for transnational globalization.
