  • East Central European Urbanization: a Political Economy of the World-System Perspective by Michael D
    East central European urbanization: a political economy of the world-system perspective by Michael D. Kennedy and David A. Smith* What is the nature of urbanization in eastern Europe, historically and in the present day? Has it followed a single path related to other macrostructural changes? Is the contemporary pattern of urbanization the result of the region’s ‘noncapitalist’ political economy? Is it a function of these societies’ ‘level of development’? What effect has the region’s role in the world-system had on its urban trajectory? In an attempt to provide satisfactory answers to these questions, we develop a synthetic perspective on urbanization and social change which emerges from the confluence of two streams of social scientific inquiry: the ‘new urban sociology’ (Walton, 1979; 1981) and the dependency/world-system approach to comparative development. Others have brought together these traditions in order to examine urban patterns and processes in light of regional roles in the world system (Walton, 1982; Chase-Dunn, 1984; Timberlake, 1985). We extend this effort in several ways. Our focus on east central European urbanization from the long sixteenth century through to the second half of this one is an important departure for theoretical reasons from the perspective’s main focus on dependent urbanization in the third world. It enables us to sharpen the concepts of semi-periphery and periphery. In particular, it shows the importance of transcending economistic biases of some world-system formulations by theorizing the role of the state in guiding urban outcomes. We begin with a review of literature on the semi-periphery and periphery, urbanization and the state.

  • A Világrend 2030-Ban. a Globális Politikai, Gazdasági És Társadalmi Trendek Vizsgálata
    A világrend 2030-ban. A globális politikai, gazdasági és társadalmi trendek vizsgálata Garai Nikolett, Szalai Máté és Szőke Diána Tanulmányunk célja a Külügyi és Külgazdasági Intézet munkatársai által lefolytatott jövőku- tatási vizsgálatok eredményeinek a bemutatása. A projekt keretében azokat a főbb politikai, gazdasági és társadalmi trendeket igyekeztünk feltérképezni, amelyek a 2030-ig terjedő idő- szakban leginkább meghatározhatják a globális folyamatokat. Ennek során neves nemzetközi elemző- és kutatóintézetek előrejelzéseire éppúgy támaszkodtunk, mint a magyarországi kül- politikai szakértők körében végzett felméréseink eredményeire. A legtöbb prognózis politika- ilag pesszimista, gazdaságilag pedig mérsékelten optimista képet vázol fel az elkövetkező 15- 20 évre vonatkozóan, ám egyes kérdésekben (Oroszország szerepe, a gazdasági globalizáció mélyülése vagy a populista ideológiák térnyerése) komoly viták alakultak ki a szakirodalom- ban. Kérdőíves kutatásunk eredményei azt igazolják, hogy a magyarországi kutatók többsége szerint a világ 2030-ra egyszerre lesz konfliktusosabb és még inkább globalizált. This article summarizes the main findings of the project undertaken by researchers at the Institute for Foreign Affairs and Trade in Budapest, Hungary, in which they aimed to outline the major political, economic and social trends influencing the world in the period until 2030. To this end, they assessed forecasts from some of the world’s most renowned think tanks and research agencies, as well as conducted a survey among Hungary’s leading foreign policy analysts. Most of the prognoses in the literature paints a rather pessimistic picture of the global political scene, but are much more optimistic when it comes to developments in the international economy over the coming 15-20 years. Three issues stand out in particular, generating the most debate among forecasters, namely the role of Russia, the outlook for free trade and economic interdependence, and the growing prominence of populist ideologies.
