  • Regions of Eastern Finland (Summary)
    Summary of views on the 2nd Cohesion Report Regions of Eastern Finland, 27.8.2001 Regions of South Karelia, South Savo, Kainuu, North Karelia and North Savo Starting point: - The EU regional policy is important for the development of Eastern Finland regions. - During the period 1995-1999 Eastern Finland was covered by the Obj 6, 5b and Interreg II A programmes. Of these the Obj 6 programme area was defined in the Accession Treaty of Finland and Sweden on account of specific circumstances of sparse population. - In the present period until 2006 the South Savo, North Karelia, North Savo and Kainuu regions form an Obj 1 programme area. At the same time East Finland has an A support status according to Article 87.3 of the Treaty, allowing allocation of higher state aid. The region of South Karelia is covered by the Obj 2 programme. In addition there are two Interreg III A programmes implemented in the area. - The Eastern Finland regions consider that the additionality principle has not been followed in the implementation of the regional development programmes. - The Eastern Finland (NUTS II area) GDP has lowered by 2.3 % between 1995-1999 in comparison to the EU average, and by over 5 % in comparison to the national average. It is very likely that the GDP/capita of Eastern Finland will not exceed 75 % of EU15 average without (national) specific measures. Views on the future Cohesion Policy: - The enlargement and increase of territorial inequality means that sufficient structural policy resources are required to guarantee a stable regional development. It seems that the proposed 0.45 % of the GDP will not be enough in the enlarged Union.

  • Essays in Political Economy
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Essays in Political Economy A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Imil Nurutdinov 2019 © Copyright by Imil Nurutdinov 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Essays in Political Economy by Imil Nurutdinov Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Leslie Nicole Johns, Co­Chair Professor Ronald L. Rogowski, Co­Chair This dissertation studies the determinants of political institutions and their impact on economic development in various historical contexts. The first chapter focuses on the Catholic Church, which for centuries determined the political, economic, and cultural development of Europe and was the greatest and most enduring rival to the nation­state. Why did the Church’s power decline earlier in Northwestern Europe than in the East and South? I argue that to a large extent the differential political influence of the Church can be explained by differential demand for collective security in the face of the possible invasion by the militarily superior “infidels.” Catholic states had to cooperate to achieve military success. To mitigate the interstate collective action problem, Catholic states voluntarily delegated legal and fiscal authorities to a common non­territorial jurisdiction, which was the Church. States in Northwestern Europe had lower demand for protection against the “infidels,” therefore, commitment to the Church was weaker. To measure the Church’s political power across time and space at the subnational (diocesan) level, I have assembled a novel dataset on appointments of bishops between 1198 and 1517, the beginning of the Protestant Reformation.
