While there is considerable consensus on the proximate causes of this phenomenon, we present a global political economy perspective to the discussion, arguing that global and domestic inequalities, both political and economic, are key to understand the issue. We subject our argument to empirical scrutiny, using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) on data spanning the years 1976-2009. Both domestic economic equality and political independence from the influence of an external power turn out to be robust characteristics supporting growth convergence of middle-income countries.

Little universally agreed upon stock of knowledge exists and relevant contributions are spread in diverse fields. Therefore, the main aim of this review is to provide a systematic and integrated view of the topic. It is placed firmly in a New Institutionalist framework and a clear classificatory structure is developed. Non-legal sanctions are seen to flow from informal social norms, which are systematized using a game theoretic perspective. From this departure, the host of applications to diverse substantive areas of law can be presented clearly. Outstanding contributions are highlighted. JEL classification: A12, A13, C70, K00

Aus den USA kommt der theoretische Ansatz, Umfang, Gliederung und Aufgabenbereiche des Staats von einem impliziten Gesellschaftsvertrag abhängig zu sehen, ein Ansatz, dessen Fruchtbarkeit 1986 mit der Verleihung des Nobelpreises für Wirtschaftswissenschaften an James M. Buchanan gewürdigt wurde. Teils aus der Designerperspektive, teils aus der einer vergleichenden Sozialwissenschaft werden dabei bestehende und theoretisch mögliche Grundordnungen auf Effektivität und Legitimität überprüft. Ökonomen, Politologen, Soziologen sind an diesem Diskussionsprozess ebenso beteiligt wie Geschichtswissenschaftler, Juristen und Philosophen. In diesem Band werden aus europäischer Perspektive sowohl praktische und politisch-aktuelle Fragen behandelt als auch eine theoretische Auseinandersetzung um die Angemessenheit des Konzepts geführt. Beispiel für die erste Dimension ist etwa die Frage, wie unterschiedlich die Wirtschaf...

Abbildung 1): Einerseits orientiert sie sich an zwei sozialwissenschaftlichen Grostheorien mit gesamtgesellschaftlichem Erklarungsanspruch, und zwar zum einen an der Okonomik („Economics“, Volkswirtschaftslehre) in Gestalt eines ihrer progressiven Forschungsprogramme, der Neuen Institutionenokonomik, sowie zum anderen an der Soziologie Niklas Luhmanns. Aufgrund dieser Doppelfundierung kann sie mit einem gewissen Recht als der theoretisch komplexeste der Entwurfe der jungeren deutschen Debatte in der Wirtschafts- und Unternehmensethik gelten. Andererseits hat sie sich bisher so gut wie ausschlieslich auf das Feld der Unternehmensethik beschrankt und weitere Handlungsfelder einer umfassenden Wirtschaftsethik vernachlassigt, ganz im Gegensatz beispielsweise zu den konkurrierenden Ansatzen von Karl Homann und Peter Ulrich. Letzterer kennt neben der Unter...

While there is considerable consensus on the proximate causes of this phenomenon, we present a global political economy perspective to the discussion, arguing that global and domestic inequalities, both political and economic, are key to understand the issue. We subject our argument
to empirical scrutiny, using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) on data spanning the years 1976-2009. Both domestic economic equality and political independence from the influence of an external power turn out to be robust characteristics supporting growth convergence of middle-income countries.

While the political economy approach developed in the research program of Acemoglu and Robinson has provided important insights on the relationship between national inequalities and economic growth, world system analysis focuses on interactions and asymmetries in the global economic and political system and their effects on national trajectories. On the one hand, I propose ways to make national institutions endogenous to international economic and political interaction via the influences these may have on national inequalities. The key to this discussion is the realization that the impact of international economic interaction on domestic distribution may be changed significantly, even in sign, if rights are weakly enforced and “grabbing” type redistributive activities are ubiquitous, especially inside and by the state. On the other hand, I explore the gains from looking at the world system as an institutional system, applying ideas developed by Acemoglu and Robinson, and North, Wallis and Weingast to analyze inequalities and asymmetries in countries to the entire globe. Here, both the question of whether a global elite coalition is to be defined as a group of countries or as a network of global elites in states, business and media and the question of how the international institutional order limits access to global political and economic resources are central.
