2	New Philanthropy and Development. Morvaridi, Behrooz January 2015 (has links) no / The chapter will consider the potential of philanthropy for social transformation. It takes a critical view of the prevailing conceptualisation in which philanthropy is considered to be an integral part of the neoliberal strategy to disperse state responsibilities in line with declining social expenditure. While philanthropic activities may be considered worthy in themselves, this chapter questions the political and ideological reasons why rich individuals, charities and large companies are engaged in social protection and poverty reduction through philanthropy. There is a broad consensus among the scholars contributing to this book that traditional philanthropy, which is driven by the ‘love of humankind’ and the wellbeing of others, has the potential to be transformative and address inequalities and injustices as well as to provide relief to the poor. However, New Philanthropy is more contentious as it reflects a relationship between giving and business interest, and the associated agency puts new philanthropists into a position of power and influence over the political and economic control of outcomes. The question of concern is not whether new philanthropy is good or bad, but what motivates this form of giving and whether the sources of new philanthropy funding are legitimate.
3	Groupes d'intérêt et décision économique publique au Liban depuis 1943 : cas des politiques fiscale et de change / Interest groups and public economic decision in Lebanon since 1943 : case of tax and exchange rate policies Alameddine, Nana 21 September 2018 (has links) Si l'idée de l'Etat fragmentaire, voire de la désintégration de la place de l'Etat au centre de la décision publique, s'est développée récemment dans les Etats modernes suite à la mondialisation, la particularité du Liban indépendant est qu'il a été créé en 1943 comme Etat segmentaire. Subséquemment, la problématique de la décision économique publique au Liban, notamment la place de l'Etat en son centre s'est imposée depuis l'indépendance avec une grande ampleur, précisément avec le choix du confessionnalisme politique (1943) et, plus tard (1948), du libéralisme économique comme systèmes de gouvernance politique et économique pour le jeune Etat. Cette thèse s'efforce d'analyser la formulation des politiques économiques dans le pays depuis 1943 jusqu’à fin 2016, par le truchement de l'approche des réseaux d'action publique. Le réseau de la décision économique publique dans le pays tel que constitué depuis l'indépendance et qui a subi peu de transformations, sera ainsi le facteur d'influence le plus adéquat pour expliquer le choix des politiques économiques au Liban, par conséquent comprendre et analyser le contenu de ces politiques. En identifiant les acteurs du réseau de la décision économique dans le pays, leurs caractéristiques, leurs rapports de force, stratégies d'action et interactions avec le contexte exogène socio-politico-économique, nous avons essayé de comprendre pourquoi les politiques économiques au Liban répondent-elles davantage à des intérêts catégoriels qu'à l'intérêt général. Les politiques fiscale et de change dans le pays seraient dès lors interprétées et analysées comme extrants naturels du réseau de la décision économique publique au Liban. Un réseau qui s'approche du model du réseau clientéliste d'action publique avec des particularités retenues pour le cas libanais. / If the idea of fragmentary state, or even of the disintegration of the state's place at the center of public decision-making, has developed recently in modern states following globalization, the particularity of independent Lebanon is that it was created in 1943 as a segmental state. Subsequently, the problem of public economic decision-making in Lebanon, especially the state's place at its center, has been imposed since independence with great amplitude, precisely with the choice of political confessionalism (1943) and later on economic liberalism (1948), as political and economic governance systems for the young state. This thesis attempts to analyze the formulation of economic policies in the country since 1943, until the end of 2016, by adopting the policy network approach. The public economic decision-making network in the country as constituted since independence, and which underwent little transformations, will thus be the most suitable factor of influence to explain the choice of economic policies in Lebanon, therefore to understand and analyze these policies content. By identifying the actors of the economic decision-making network in the country, their characteristics, their balance of power, strategies and interactions with the exogenous socio-politico-economic context, we have tried to understand why economic policies in Lebanon respond more to categorical interests than to the general interest. Tax and exchange rate policies in the country would therefore be interpreted and analyzed as natural outputs of the public economic decision-making network in Lebanon. A network that approaches the clientelist model of public policy network with particularities retained for the Lebanese case.

The key finding is that a new framework for discussing trade policy was widely adopted after the United States became a creditor nation during World War I. This framework related tariffs and imports to exports, international lending and American foreign policy. High levels of imports ceased to be a threat and instead came to be seen as a pre-requisite for high levels of exports and a well-functioning global economy; raising the levels of imports, including through tariff cuts, became a strategy for providing American allies and debtors with dollar revenues. This new insight into the political economy of American foreign economic policy is based on new evidence from the archival records of business associations and a wide range of other primary and secondary sources. In addition to bringing to light new evidence, my research also addresses some of the gaps that still exist in the literature on the history of the foreign economic policy of the United States, the Cold War and transatlantic relations.
5	Regulating a Controversy : Inside Stakeholder Strategies and Regime Transition in the Self-Regulation of Swedish Advertising 1950–1971 Funke, Michael January 2015 (has links) This thesis concerns the development of the self-regulation of advertising in Sweden from 1950 until 1971. Self-regulation was initiated in the 1930s due to a business desire to regulate fair competition in marketing, and while it initially was a minor operation, the 1950s and 1960s were characterized by extensive development. When self-regulation was overtaken by state policies in 1971, it included several interlocking systems, of which parts survived the introduction of the state regime. The thesis’ aim has been to analyze how the rapid regime transitions in the self-regulation regime can be understood. The existing literature identifies four major transitions that occurred during the studied time period. To understand them, the thesis has studied the policy processes leading up to these transitions. Focus has been on the business interest organizations that controlled the regime and their regulatory strategies. Theoretically, the analysis has departed from the hypothesis that tensions between these organizations, due to their members’ different market interests and varying levels of exposure to regulation and public badwill, to a significant degree informed their strategic choices as well as policy outcomes. The results show that the policy processes preceding the regime transitions were characterized by internal tensions, whereby organizations representing advertisers, and to a lesser degree media carriers, due to their members’ higher level of exposure to regulation and public badwill, successfully supported stronger market policing, while ad agencies, being less exposed, as well as a peak industry organization for the proliferation of marketing largely opposed such measures, preferring a more lenient regulation. However, due to increased exposure to regulation and bad will, the ad agencies finally abandoned their opposition and took the lead in regulatory innovation through the introduction of an extensive clearance program that survived the launch of the state regime, becoming a key component in the co-regulatory structure that followed. advertising advertising criticism advertising regulation advertising history advertising industry affluent society business business associations business history business interest organizations business studies competition consumer consumer politics consumer history consumerism co-regulation corporatism economic history history interest groups market regulation marketing marketing history marketing regulation marketer policy studies policy process political economy political science postwar regime regulation theory self-regulation market self-regulation self-regulation history stakeholder Sweden efterkrigstiden ekonomisk historia företagsekonomi företagshistoria historia intressegrupper konsumentfrågor konsumentpolitik konsumenthistoria konsumenträtt korporatism lagstiftning marknad marknadsföring marknadsföringshistoria marknadsregleringar marknadsrätt näringslivet näringslivsorganisationer politisk ekonomi regleringar regleringsteori reklam reklambranschen reklamhistoria rättshistoria samhällsvetenskap samreglering självreglering socialdemokratin statsvetenskap Sverige
