Civilizations and culture in the global political economy: recent attempts to understand culture in the world system

Article Abstract:

Four books discuss the roles played by civilization and culture in the global political economy. Samuel P. Huntington's 'The Clash of Civilization,' argue that civilization and culture are influencing the patterns of cohesion, disintegration and conflict in the post-Cold War era. On the other hand, Stephen Sanderson's 'Civilizations and World Systems,' is a collection of essays contributing to dialogues by historians who are interested in civilizations and world system theory.

Geopolitics, the state, and political economy of growth in Taiwan

Article Abstract:

Statist theory views about the politics of economic growth of Taiwan have been examined. Statist theory argues that the economic success of any country is due to state power, market discipline and collaboration between the state and the private sector. Results indicate that Taiwan's case defies the statist approach since progress was not brought about by an all-powerful state but through regulated state power and the institutionalization of an accumulation regime.
