Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 1,5, Hamburg University of Ecomomy and Policy (European Studies), course: Political and economic systems in comparative perspective, language: English, abstract: This paper seeks to give a broad overview of the major developments in the French economic order since the Second World War. First by enlarging upon historical changes in the French economic policy and further by describing the structure of the economic sectors of the French economy today, focusing on the French companies. The strengths and weaknesses of the French industrial production will be reflected by an analysis of its export and import sectors. As a theoretical base for the paper serves the Varieties of Capitalism approach by Hall and Soskice. In their theory of comparative capitalism they regard France as one possible model of capitalism, namely in between a coordinated and a liberal market economy (CME/LME). In this paper Hall and Soskice ́s theory is supposed to have an explanatory function for the described institutional characteristics in the French economic order. Generally Hall and Soskice ́s approach has to be seen in the tradition of comparative political economy, yet going beyond former theories as Shonfield ́s modernization approach, neocorporatism or the social systems of production approach. By drawing on game theory Hall and Soskice even create a interdisciplinary approach addressing both econonomics and political scientists. Hall/Soskice try to provide a new theoretical framework to analyse and understand the nationa l similarities and differences in political and economic institutions, shifting the focus of attention to the role of firms in the economic performance and the institutions that condition or alter interaction between economic actors. In these interactions, various actors e.g. firms rationally try to defend their interests. For firms the five most important interaction spheres vital for the firms development, production and profitability are industrial relations, vocational training and education, corporate governance, inter- firm relations and the interaction with their own employees. Interactions like these often create uneven information levels and thus entail coordination problems. Hall and Soskice take the view that the different ways in which firms handle these coordination problems can be used to compare national political economies. Firms in LMEs rather tend to solve their coordination problems with the help of market mechanisms. Firms in CMEs refer to non-market relationships, e.g. institutions that promote the exchange of information among actors. [...]

Download or read book Transformations in French Business written by Judith G. Frommer and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1989-01-20 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a distinguished group of French business leaders, scholars, and government experts, this volume examines the recent watershed period in which the French government loosened state controls and put a further emphasis on market forces. The book is unique in that it presents in accessible accessible a clear view of France's new business sense and the evolution that has taken place since Mitterrand came to power in 1981--from the perspective of key players in the French economy themselves. The contributors analyze the political, economic, and cultural upheaval of the past decade; its effect on the way the French think about and conduct business; and the new concerns and priorities of French business leaders. The contributors deal with all aspects of French business life, addressing such diverse topics as: France's image in the United States, French trade relations with the United States and with the Third World, new economic policies and their impact, the privatization of banks and large industrial concerns, the influence of the business press, corporate relations, French advertising style, marketing luxury goods, the problem of trade unionism, the role of women in French business, investment patterns, and the general liberalization of the economy. They show that along with the legislative reforms of recent years, a fundamental change in French society has occurred. A new admiration for entrepreneurship, a relaxation of negative views of capitalism, and an increased emphasis on marketing abroad have all contributed to a new business climate in France. The American businessperson must be aware of this if he or she is to successfully do business in France or with the French. By clearly outlining the major developments that have acted to transform French business in recent years, this book provides the basis for that awareness.

Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main aim of this text, originally published in 1970, was to widen the debate on the nature of fascism. The author argues that fascism was an integral stage in the historical and economical development of Europe and that its political and economic expression cannot be meaningfully separated. Its impact for Europe had obvious far-reaching consequences and the very survival of the National Socialist revolution lay in the re-organization of Europe - the New Order.
Download or read book France written by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major reforms have been introduced into the regulatory governance system in France over the past 20 years. The role of the State in the economy has been reduced as the State has distanced itself from direct intervention, and State ownership of companies has declined significantly. The majority of product markets are now open to competition. The definition and management of public services have been adapted accordingly. Decentralisation has affected the apportionment of institutional responsibilities and powers between the State, regions, departments and communes. Public administrative law has evolved and now recognises, for example, the principles of competition as an important factor in State decision making. There has been significant progress in facilitating access to regulatory information, in particular through the use of new information technologies. Such progress has also been facilitated by a considerable effort of codification. Structural reforms have gone hand in hand with the opening up of the French economy to foreign trade. However, after a period of relative success at the end of the 1990s, there has been a recent slowdown in growth. France, like other countries, faces the challenge of an ageing population. Although the reforms necessary to meet this challenge have begun to be implemented, further adjustments are needed to sustain the progress of the French economy and help strengthen its growth potential. This will require the government to set a clearer course with a more coherent strategic direction, co-ordinating its approaches to product and labour markets and the system of governance.France, like other member countries, has undergone a broad review of its national regulatory practices and internal regulatory reforms. This review presents an in-depth evaluation, set within a macroeconomic context, of regulatory reform including government capacity to produce high quality regulations, competition policy and market openness. It also assesses progress in the civil aviation and telecommunications sectors.The background material used to prepare this report is available at: www.oecd.org/regreform/backgroundreports.
Download or read book A History of Corporate Governance around the World written by Randall K. Morck and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many Americans, capitalism is a dynamic engine of prosperity that rewards the bold, the daring, and the hardworking. But to many outside the United States, capitalism seems like an initiative that serves only to concentrate power and wealth in the hands of a few hereditary oligarchies. As A History of Corporate Governance around the World shows, neither conception is wrong. In this volume, some of the brightest minds in the field of economics present new empirical research that suggests that each side of the debate has something to offer the other. Free enterprise and well-developed financial systems are proven to produce growth in those countries that have them. But research also suggests that in some other capitalist countries, arrangements truly do concentrate corporate ownership in the hands of a few wealthy families. A History of Corporate Governance around the World provides historical studies of the patterns of corporate governance in several countries-including the large industrial economies of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States; larger developing economies like China and India; and alternative models like those of the Netherlands and Sweden.
Download or read book Economies under Occupation written by Marcel Boldorf and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-03-24 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nazi Germany and Japan occupied huge areas at least for some period during World War II, and those territories became integral parts of their war economies. The book focuses on the policies of World War II aggressors in occupied countries. The unbalanced economic and financial relations were defined by administrative control, the implementation of institutions and a variety of military exploitation strategies. Plundering, looting and requisitions were frequent aggressive acts, but beyond these interventions by force, specific institutions were created to gain control over the occupied economies as a whole. An appropriate institutional setting was also crucial to give incentives to the companies in the occupied countries to produce munitions for the aggressors. The book explains the main fields of war exploitation (organisation and control, war financing and workforce recruitment). It substantiates these aspects in case studies of occupied countries and gives examples of the business policy of multinational companies under war conditions. The book also provides an account of differences and similarities of the two occupation systems. Economies under Occupation will interest researchers specialising in the history of economic thought as well as in economic theory and philosophy. It will also engage readers concerned with regional European and Japanese studies and imperial histories.
