Mrozowicki, Adam. 2014. “Bez zmian na „zielonej wyspie”? Kryzys ekonomiczny w polskich badaniach socjologicznych.” Whither Green Island? The Global Economic crisis in Polish sociological research. (155): 105–24.

The article presents selected aspects of the discussion about the conditions and consequences of global economic crisis in Polish sociology. The author argues that the relatively limited debate on the nature of the current crisis can be explained by two factors. Firstly, it is the consequence of the dominance of modernisation paradigm in the analysis of the Polish social transformation as well as the marginalisation of two sociologies: critical labour sociology and economic sociology....

Neveling, Patrick. 2014. “Three Shades of Embeddedness, State Capitalism as the Informal Economy, Emic Notions of the Anti-Market, and Counterfeit Garments in the Mauritian Export Processing Zone.” Research in Economic Anthropology 34: 65–94. DOI: 10.1108/S0190-1281_2014_0000034002.

Purpose -- This paper furthers the analysis of patterns regulating capi-talist accumulation based on a historical anthropology of economic activ-ities revolving around and within the Mauritian Export Processing Zone (EPZ). Design/methodology/approach -- This paper uses fieldwork in Mauritius to interrogate and critique two important concepts in contemporary social theory -- "embeddedness" and "the informal economy."

This article attempts to combine the Polanyian perspective on the issue of market societies with an the analysis of the institutional foundations of capitalism that is facilitated by the Varieties of Capitalism(VoC) approach. The article departs fromthe argument that the VoC school has upgraded our insight into the institutional working ofmodern capitalism, but became entrapped in an overt structuralismwhich considers institutional change as just an interplaywithin a self-odering...

Valderrama Saud, Paula. 2014. “Crisis del modelo neoliberal, hacia una planificación regional. Un aporte polanyiano.” Crisis of the Neoliberal Model; Towards Regional Planning - a Polanyian Contribution. (48): 139–53.

Using Karl Polanyi's analytical instrument, I argue that the current withdrawal of the industrialized powers and the emergence of alternative policies in Latin America are determined by the crisis of the neoliberal model. The polarity between democracy and the market, observed since the beginnings of liberal capitalism, has deepened since the inter-war period due to the appearance of so-called "mass democracy." Since that period, foreign policies of industrialized countries have derived from...

Ashiagbor, Diamond. 2014. “Embedding Trade Liberalisation in Social Policy: A Research Agenda on Social Regionalism and the Global South [Article].” Northern Ireland Legal Quarterly (3): 265.

Underpinning this article is the proposition that regional integration with a social dimension has the potential to engender a more equitable pattern of globalisation. The empirical focus of the article is on the ex)tent to which the insights of 'embedded liberalism' associated with regional economic integration between he industrialised nations of the European Union (EU)can be applied to regional economic integration within sub-SaharanAfrica. The article contends that EU market...

Harrison, Trevor W. 2014. “The Pyrrhic Triumph of Finance Capital and the Return of Polanyi.” Athens Journal of Social Sciences 1, 3: 185–94.

This paper examines the declining support for centrist parties in many western countries. Using the seminal ideas of Karl Polanyi, the paper argues this decline is attributable to the rise of neo-liberal free market policies that have resulted in widespread insecurity and led many voters to seek out political alternatives on the right and left. The paper further examines possible reasons why parties of the right, rather than the left, have been more successful at this historical juncture in...

Hermann, Martin. 2014. “A Global Theory of Justice for New Governance : From Process to Substance with ‘Parity of Participation.’”

This thesis proposes a new counter-narrative to the neo-liberal agenda that combines two seemingly disparate bodies of work: New Governance and Nancy Fraser’s theory of justice. New Governance is a new and rapidly growing strand of legal thought and practi ce that has simultaneously developed a following in Europe and the United States. In short, legal scholars in this field of research are advocating a shift away from long-standing command-style, fixed-rule regulation toward more...

Pellicani, Luciano. 2014. “From the Apocalypse to the Revolution.” Telos (166): 25–41.

The article discusses the emergence of millennialism, which is considered as one of the outcomes of the spiritual victory of Christianity over the Greco-Roman culture. The formulation of the historical-sociological category of cultural catastrophe by Hungarian economic historian Karl Polanyi is tackled. The presence of a divine messenger as one of the three elements of a messianic movement is cited. The concepts of revolutionarism, Jacobinism and Marxism are also addressed.

Sparsam, J., D. Eversberg, T. Haubner, D. Mader, B. Muraca, and P. Hanno. 2014. “The Renewal of a Critical Theory of Capitalism and Crisis – A Comment on Nancy Fraser’s Interpretation of Polanyi’s Works - Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek.” Working Paper 7/2014 of the DFG-Kollegforscher_innengruppe Postwachstumsgesellschfaten.

The paper examines Nancy Fraser’s Polanyian reading of the current capitalist crisis and her expansion of Polanyi’s notion of the ‘double movement’–social forces struggling for marketization and social protection– into a ‘triple movement’ by adding the struggle for emancipation as a third factor. In its first part, the paper reviews Fraser’s central arguments with a special focus on her reading of Polanyi’s idea of the “fictitious commodities” land, labor, and money. Second, the authors...

Visone, Tommaso. 2014. “Reflections on the civil war in the period of the ideologies (1929-1939). Carl Schmitt and Karl Polanyi.” Giornale di Storia Costituzionale 26: 117–34.

The aim of this paper is to discuss the concept of civil war during the Thirties (1929-1939). To this purpose, the work analyses the development of the Civil War discourse in the thought of Carl Schmitt and Karl Polanyi, trying to focalize on the relationship between its consequences on the civil war and the conflicting ideologies which characterised that period. Hence, the Civil war is described, through these different narrations, showing two different sides of modernity: the destructive...
