Institutions shape states, society, businesses, and the
interactions between them. Understanding how these interactions
shape the growth paths of different countries is crucial to
monitoring policy outcomes and gauging creditable impact. The
Growth Paths of State-Society Relations highlights how different
state-society relations have developed, the power relationships
that characterize their different forms or modes, and the wider
growth paths that are likely to emerge as a result. Combining case
studies with empirical and theoretical game analysis, Mohamed
Ismail Sabry presents four State-Business-Labor Relations (SBLR)
modes for considering the power relationships at play in these
interactions. Analyzing four significant case studies featuring
Germany, the USA, China, and Russia, Sabry investigates the
emergence of these various modes, particularly whether they arise
out of institutional settings or special socioeconomic or
historical circumstances. Considering variables such as levels of
productivity, long-run economic growth, inequality, and
sustainability, chapters also discuss how the SBLR modes affect the
growth paths of each example country, particularly through policies
related to Technology and Industry 4.0, Green transformation, and
social welfare. Providing a rationale for institutional change as
well as suggestions for power restructuring within a state-society
relationship, The Growth Paths of State-Society Relations offers a
unique and nuanced analysis of the perpetual interplay between
government, business, and society.
This book examines how socioeconomic and institutional factors
shaped the development of Socialism and its two contending variants
of Social Democracy and Communism, investigating why each of these
factions enjoyed varying levels of popularity in different
societies between 1840 and 1945. It places a special focus on a
number of factors including: inequality; industrialization;
urbanization; political freedoms; literacy and education; national
sentiments; ethnic fractionalization and other cultural factors.
This important study offers a detailed and thorough analysis
combining theory, empirical data and a number of important case
studies reflecting the different dimensions of Socialism. It offers
perspectives on the strength or lack thereof of Social Democracy
and Communism during this period across a number of countries,
including, Russia, Germany, Sweden, Britain, France, the United
States, China, Mexico and many more. The work's multi-faceted
approach provides a rich and thorough analysis of Socialism during
this period with new and valuable insights stemming from its unique
combination of historic analysis, political theory and
institutional economics.
