External financial liberalization in developing countries: some adverse consequences Boratav, Korkut (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 1993) Liberalization of capital movements under a high inflation regime in a developing country would most likely lead to an uncontrolled growth of the external growth of the external debt. Adverse consequences on either the rate of investment or on the trade balance are likely to follow as well.

Foreign money shocks and the welfare performance of alternative monetary policy regimes Senay, Ozge; Sutherland, Alan (Wiley, 2007-01-01) The welfare properties of monetary policy regimes for a country subject to foreign money shocks are examined in a two-country sticky-price model. Money targeting is found to be welfare superior to a fixed exchange rate when the expenditure switching effect of exchange rate changes is relatively weak, but a fixed rate is superior when the expenditure switching effect is strong. However, price targeting is superior to both these regimes for all values of the expenditure switching effect. A welfare-maximising ...
Debates on civil society: from centre-periphery to radical civil societarianism Duruşan, Fırat; Ayata, Ayşe; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2008) The radical democratic conception of civil society strives for theoretically constructing and politically defending civil society as a social sphere autonomous from both the economy and state. As a position taken against Marxist and liberal theories, radical civil societarianism views the cultural and normative structures of modern societies as independent from and prior to systemically conceived economic and political relations. These structures is purported to give way to spontaneous social solidarity cha...
