Abstract The concept of the Competition State differs from the "Post-Fordist State" of Regulation Theory, which asserts that the contemporary restructuring of the state is aimed at maintaining its generic function of stabilizing the national polity and promoting the domestic economy in the public interest In contrast, the Competition State focuses on disempowering the state from within with regard to a range of key tasks, roles, and activities, in the face of processes of globalization . The state does not merely adapt to exogenous structural constraints; in addition, domestic political actors take a proactive and preemptive lead in this process through both policy entrepreneurship and the rearticulation of domestic political and social coalitions, on both right and left, as alternatives are incrementally eroded. State intervention itself is aimed at not only adjusting to but also sustaining, promoting, and expanding an open global economy in order to capture its perceived

INTRODUCTION: EXPLORING RIGHTS TO CULTURAL HERITAGE This Comment explores the clash between indigenous groups fight- ing to control their intangible cultural heritage' and entities that use 2 traditional knowledge for inspiration to create commercial works. The beauty and power of native language, legends, songs, folklore, and history motivates artists, authors, playwrights, and designers to incorporate aspects of native heritage into different pop culture medi- ums. Corporations also seek to incorporate indigenous imagery into their products, services, or marketing because they recognize the com- mercial value of doing so. Indigenous groups often resist these culture 3 leaks and seek to control exclusively aspects of their cultural heritage that others believe are in the public domain, free for all to use.

  • Performing Borders
    Radical Musicology Volume 1 (2006) ISSN 1751-7788 Beyond Borders: The Female Welsh Pop Voice Sarah Hill University of Southampton For all its reputation as a musical culture, the number of women pop stars to 1 have emerged from Wales can be counted charitably on two hands, with some fingers to spare. Wales is a small country, host to two rich linguistic cultures, each with its own musical heritage and traditions, yet very few musicians of either gender have crossed over from one tradition to the other. The rarity of a female singer making such a border crossing is marked, allowing for a delicate lineage to be traced across the decades, from the 1960s to the present, revealing certain commonalities of experience, acceptance, and reversion. With this in mind, I would like to draw a linguistic and cultural connection between two determinedly different Welsh women singers. In the 1960s, when women’s voices were the mainstays of Motown, the folk circuit and the Haight-Ashbury, in Wales only Mary Hopkin managed to shift from Welsh-language to Anglo-American pop; thirty years later, Cerys Matthews made the same journey. These two women bear certain similarities: they both come from South Wales, they are both singers whose first, or preferred, language is Welsh, and they both found their niche in the Anglo-American mainstream market. These two women faced the larger cultural problems of linguistic and musical border-crossings, but more importantly, they challenged the place of the female pop voice in Wales, and of the female Welsh pop voice in Anglo-America.

  • Pricking Germany's 'Stock Market Bubble' in 1927 and the Slide
    With a Bang, not a Whimper: Pricking Germany’s “Stock Market Bubble” in 1927 and the Slide into Depression HANS-JOACHIM VOTH In May 1927, the German central bank intervened indirectly to reduce lending to equity investors. The crash that followed ended the only stock market boom during Germany’s relative stabilization 1924–1928. The evidence strongly suggests that the German central bank under Hjalmar Schacht was wrong to be concerned about stock prices—there was no bubble. Also, the Reichsbank was mistaken in its belief that a fall in the market would reduce the importance of short-term foreign borrowing and improve conditions in the money market. The misguided intervention had important real effects. Investment suffered, helping to tip Germany into depression. uring November and December 1928, the American economist James DW. Angell was conducting fieldwork for his book on the German econ- omy. Visiting more than 50 factories and mines in the process, he came away deeply impressed by the prosperity and dynamism he encountered: “[O]nly six years after her utter collapse, Germany is once again one of the great industrial nations . and she is rapidly increasing her power. It is one of the most spectacular recoveries in the world’s entire economic history.”1 From the ashes of hyperinflation, the country had apparently turned itself into one of continental Europe’s great success stories. Inflation was low and stable, and the prewar exchange rate vis-à-vis the dollar had successfully been restored. Employment was rising rapidly, export volumes were surging, and labor productivity was increasing at twice the prewar rate.2 The image of prosperity that captivated Angell was in many ways a final flourish, followed by a rapid downturn that had already begun before his visit.
