This book was released on 2009 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La thèse explique la configuration contemporaine du secteur industriel de production d’armements aux États-Unis en prenant appui sur la littérature de l’économie institutionnelle radicale. La première partie décrit la genèse et le développement du « complexe militaro-industriel » (CMI) en revisitant les analyses institutionnalistes héritières de Thorstein Veblen. La seconde partie propose une étude empirique de la R&D aux États-Unis et met en relief la militarisation du système national d’innovation américain. Elle analyse la restructuration du CMI opérée dans les années 1990 sous l’emprise de la finance, et questionne la surperformance exceptionnelle du secteur de l’armement sur les marchés financiers. La conclusion suggère que les « marchés » ont internalisé dans leur comportement l'inéluctabilité de nouvelles guerres visant à protéger le mode de production et de consommation américain. Toutefois, il convient de prendre aussi en compte les évolutions géopolitiques récentes qui semblent offrir à la discipline économique un potentiel académique renouvelé qui pourrait déboucher sur la construction d’un nouveau système assurant un développement et une paix durables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La position de puissance dominante des Etats-Unis se révèle, entre autres, au niveau de sa capacité de production en matière d'armement. Du fait de leur dimension, de l'étendue des matériels et services qu'elles englobent, les activités de production et de transfert des armements ont progressivement débordé aux Etats-Unis le cadre strictement militaire. Ce qui peut sembler être une décision d'ordre militaire est avant tout l'aboutissement d'une politique industrielle nationale ayant généré des pouvoirs spécifiques. L'état américain est dépendant du fonctionnement des grands groupes privés d'armements pour exécuter ses propres taches. La course aux armements dans laquelle sont engagés les U.S.A. a acquis un dynamisme propre dont le moteur se situe avant tout dans le domaine de la gestion et plus particulièrement dans les pouvoirs qu'elle génère. La puissance industrielle et les intérêts nationaux américains répondent à une dynamique interne de la conjonction des intérêts industriels et militaires. La création de nouvelles structures bureaucratiques et l'application de méthodes de gestion ont contribué au renforcement de cette dynamique. Aux U.S.A., le "jeu" de la production et du transfert des armements est structure par des règles définies par les différents acteurs politiques, économiques et sociaux. Les liens créés entre économie de défense et économie nationale conditionnent pour une grande part les équilibres actuels des cycles de production et de transfert des armements. L'analyse du pouvoir de gestion dans le processus d'acquisition des matériels d'armement et celle de la gestion des matériels d'armement permet de montrer que la systématisation des procédures et règles établies favorise l'interaction des pouvoirs de gestion industriels et militaires. Du fait de la symbiose créée entre pouvoirs de gestion industriels et militaires, l'industrie de défense des Etats-Unis évolue dans un contexte de guerre rendue nécessaire pour l'accomplissement des différents enjeux militaires internationaux des Etats-Unis qui l'entretiennent pour mieux en faire usage. L'expérience des Etats-Unis prouve à l'évidence l'importance fondamentale d'une bonne synergie de la gestion entre militaires et industriels et révèle son impact tant déterminant qu'inéluctable sur la réalisation des armements modernes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En s'affirmant comme la première puissance économique et financière, politique dans le monde à la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, les Etats-Unis ont du se donner les moyens militaires de cette puissance. L’industrie d'armement, l'arsenal fantastique, les institutions militaires issues de la seconde guerre mondiale se sont maintenues puis développés au sein de la société américaine, échappant de plus en plus aux objectifs militaires initiaux. La production d'armements se déroule aujourd'hui selon un processus contradictoire, antagonique à celui de la production civile. Le secteur militaire a produit son propre dynamisme sur les plans industriel, budgétaire et militaire. Cherchant à résoudre des problèmes politiques par des solutions militaires, ce qui est impossible, les Etats-Unis sont aspires par un spirale dans la course aux armements dont ils ne maitrisent ni les tenants, ni les aboutissants.

Download or read book Is War Necessary for Economic Growth written by Vernon W. Ruttan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-05 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military and defense-related procurement has been an important source of technology development across a broad spectrum of industries that account for an important share of United States industrial production. In this book, the author focuses on six general-purpose technologies: interchangeable parts and mass production; military and commercial aircraft; nuclear energy and electric power; computers and semiconductors; the INTERNET; and the space industries. In each of these industries, technology development would have occurred more slowly, and in some case much more slowly or not at all, in the absence of military and defense-related procurement. The book addresses three questions that have significant implications for the future growth of the United States economy. One is whether changes in the structure of the United States economy and of the defense-industrial base preclude military and defense-related procurement from playing the role in the development of advanced technology in the future, comparable to the role it has played in the past. A second question is whether public support for commercially oriented research and development will become an important source of new general-purpose technologies. A third and more disturbing question is whether a major war, or the threat of major war, will be necessary to mobilize the scientific, technical, and financial resources necessary to induce the development of new general-purpose technologies. When the history of United States technology development in the next half century is written, it will focus on incremental rather than revolutionary changes in both military and commercial technology. It will also be written within the context of slower productivity growth than of the relatively high rates that prevailed in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s or during the information technology bubble that began in the early 1990s. These will impose severe constraints on the capacity of the United States to sustain a global-class military posture and a position of leadership in the global economy.

Download or read book Governing Africa s Forests in a Globalized World written by Laura Anne German and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many countries around the world are engaged in decentralization processes, and most African countries face serious problems with forest governance, from benefits sharing to illegality and sustainable forest management. This book summarizes experiences to date on the extent and nature of decentralization and its outcomes - most of which suggest an underperformance of governance reforms - and explores the viability of different governance instruments in the context of weak governance and expanding commercial pressures over forests. Findings are grouped into two thematic areas: decentralization, livelihoods and sustainable forest management; and international trade, finance and forest sector governance reforms. The authors examine diverse forces shaping the forest sector, including the theory and practice of decentralization, usurpation of authority, corruption and illegality, inequitable patterns of benefits capture and expansion of international trade in timber and carbon credits, and discuss related outcomes on livelihoods, forest condition and equity. The book builds on earlier volumes exploring different dimensions of decentralization and perspectives from other world regions, and distills dimensions of forest governance that are both unique to Africa and representative of broader global patterns. The authors ground their analysis in relevant theory while drawing out implications of their findings for policy and practice.

Download or read book Innovation Evolution and Economic Change written by Blandine Laperche and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Kenneth Galbraith was an eminent economist and proponent of change. The contributors to the book further his analysis on the evolution of capitalism; taking into account changes to the general economic climate since the publication of J.K. Galbraith s main thesis, they outline new ideas which form fertile ground for new research. The book begins with a penetrating analysis of the main features of today s capitalism and in particular the conflict between shareholders and managers. It moves on to focus on the consequences of globalization in the decision-making processes of large corporations and represents an important step in the development of a theory of fraud and corruption within corporations. In the final part, the authors address and explore the consequences of the domination of influential groups over major social and political decisions, on the blurred boundaries between the public and the private sectors and its consequences in the fields of technological regulation and the evolution of public services. In so doing, the authors question the meaning and power of democracy in today s society. Innovation, Evolution and Economic Change will appeal to a wide readership and audience of economists, policy makers and political organization.

This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Using the example of the aircraft industry, which takes him like an arrow to the heart of many of the key conflicts in French life between 1936 and 1948, Herrick Chapman has written a penetrating and exceptionally well documented account of the way that France developed her present style of industrial relations, in which the state plays such a central role. No book I know so successfully integrates the history of aviation . . . with the political and social history of France. Both thorough and thoughtful, it is an impressive achievement."--Robert Wohl, University of California, Los Angeles "An unusual, innovative book based on impressive research that throws new light in a major way on twentieth-century French politics and society . . . one of the most interesting and original monographs in modern French history in a long time."--Robert O. Paxton, Columbia University "This is a breakthrough of considerable importance. [Chapman] will become the leading North American, perhaps even English-speaking, historian of contemporary France."--George Ross, Brandeis University

Download or read book Institutional Economics written by Bernard Chavance and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-09-02 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This introduction to institutional economics, follows the history of the field since the early 20th century until the present day. It concentrates on influential authors in the main schools of institutional economics. Institutional economics is defined as economic thought that considers institutions to be relevant for economic theory, and consequently criticizes the neoclassical mainstream for having pushed them out of the discipline; it deals specially with the nature, the origin, the change of institutions, and their effects on economic performance. It is a family of different theories that were initially influential in economics, then lost much of their weight in the middle half of the 20th century, and eventually recovered significant creative vitality and impact in the last twenty years. The book puts the recent developments in historical perspective by showing how important themes like the importance of habits, the role of formal and informal rules, the relation of organizations and institutions, the hierarchy and complementarity of institutions, the evolutionary character of institutional change, have been explored by various authors or schools.

Download or read book The New Industrial State written by John Kenneth Galbraith and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-04-29 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With searing wit and incisive commentary, John Kenneth Galbraith redefined America's perception of itself in The New Industrial State, one of his landmark works. The United States is no longer a free-enterprise society, Galbraith argues, but a structured state controlled by the largest companies. Advertising is the means by which these companies manage demand and create consumer "need" where none previously existed. Multinational corporations are the continuation of this power system on an international level. The goal of these companies is not the betterment of society, but immortality through an uninterrupted stream of earnings. First published in 1967, The New Industrial State continues to resonate today.
