As an alternative to existing ones
C
As the most believed approach
D
As a reaction “to correct what is wrong”
E
As debate topics
Açıklama:
The theories are put forward in order to explain certain events in certain periods. However, in time, it is seen that a theory has lost its capacity to explain and a new theory has come into its place. For example, in the realist approach, states have kept themselves within their borders with the desire to preserve the territorial integrity and to survive. However, in the following process, states understood that they could not remain within these limits and they had to adapt to the new order with the effect of globalization and communication revolution which dominated the system. The new dominant force of the international system has been liberalism. The financial liberalization, capital flows, invisible hand and open market, which have been experienced in this process in which the individual comes to the fore, have had a positive effect on the system for a while. However, this softening and liberalization wind in the global system has evolved into a process where the rich becomes richer and the poor becomes poorer. In this process Marxism, in response to liberalism and the global system, has emerged by emphasizing class. It should not be forgotten that every theory emerges as a reaction “to correct what is wrong” in the global system. The answer is D.

Açıklama:
The broad areas and issues covered by the International Political Economy (IPE) discipline, whose source and formation are very old, can be explained in different ways by the different theoretical approaches of international relations. From this point of view, we can list the main approaches to help us explain IPE as
Mercantilism/Realism, Liberalism and Marxism, and alternative approaches as Constructivism and Feminism. There are some concepts associated with these five theories. In the Realist approach, nation states, power, survival, security, and anarchy; in the Liberal approach, the individual, capital flows, open market, and invisible hand; in the Marxist approach, class, interest, exploitation, bourgeois, and proletariat; in the Constructivist approach, idea, norm, discourse, belief, and structure-maker relationship; and in the Feminist approach, concepts such as gender equality, sexist
exploitation, and the end to oppression come to the fore. Since the theories of IPE are included as a separate section in the second part of this book, the theories here are explained in a short and concise way. The answer is B.

Açıklama:
Liberalism is the theory that emerged to respond to the facts and events that the security-centered and
nation-state-oriented mercantilist/realist theory cannot explain. Liberalism as a concept means “liberty under the law”. Liberalism opposed mercantilism, which states that human nature is aggressive, offensive and skeptical, and argues that there is a constructive relationship between people competing for their own interests. This approach has been influential in the history of political and economic thought in the 18th and 19th centuries and is based on the concepts of equality, rationality, freedom, and property. In addition, this theory formed the basic philosophies of philosophers of the age of enlightenment. David Hume and Adam Smith from Scotland, Locke from England, Kant from Germany, Montesquieu and Voltaire from France were the ones who left their mark on this period. According to this approach, human (individual) is innately positive or can be educated. The answer is C.

Vladimir I. Lenin
Açıklama:
Immanuel Wallerstein, left its mark on this period with his World System Theory. This theory emerged as
a continuation of the analysis of social scientists such as Karl Marx, Max Weber, and Emile Durkheim, and the concept of “semi-periphery countries” was added to the concepts of coreperiphery countries. Semi-periphery countries are characterized as both exploiting and exploited countries. Specifically, the core countries interact with the periphery and semi-periphery countries and transform them. Hence, Wallerstein defines the semi-periphery countries as transferring the information and technologies of the western states to themselves, starting to industrialize, and in this process they are both exploiting other countries, and being exploited themselves at the same time. In addition, the proponents of the world system theory share the same view with Lenin as the coreperiphery relationship ends with imperialism. The answer is A.

Açıklama:
Friedrich List (1789-1846) was a German-U.S. economist who believed protection of domestic industries through tariffs on imported goods. He started out as a believer in free trade but in the 1820s visited the United States. Many Americans then disagreed with the British classical economists’ argument for free trade and he was influenced by the Alexander Hamilton’s argument that the government should help to build up domestic industry. As a devoted German, he believed also that that was the best way to industrialize Germany(Kishtainy 2017). List was writing during German unification and his approach to political economy reflected German political and economic realities of the time. In a similar way, Alexander Hamilton was writing during the American nation-building period and his thoughts were formed in that context.

Hegemonic Stability Theory (HST):The stability of the International System requires a single dominant state to articulate and enforce the rules of interaction among the most important members of the system. According to HST if there is such a hegemon, who is willing to bear the costs and enforce the rules while retaining political, economic and military edge for the hegemony, the international system would be stable (stability means the absence of war among major powers).

One of the big questions in international relations is about how to achieve cooperation. One type of explanation for that is neo realist argument of hegemonic stability theory based on the distribution of power argument.
In a simple term, it argues countries cooperate in international politics since hegemon force them with sticks or influence them with carrots to do so. Second type of explanation is Keohane’s neo liberal argument which focuses on the role of international regimes and institutions in both organizing and maintaining cooperation among states by promoting cooperation and lowering the risks and threats of anarchic international system. The third type explanation is Moravcsik’s neoliberal account that looks at domestic policy making and preferences (societal inputs) as an important factor affecting international political and economic decision making. All of these discussion are generally discussed in the literature as neo-neo debate.

B
A national economy should not just accumulate material welfare.
C
The national economic goal ought to be to create a self-reliant economy
D
A wealthy economy should be the priority of the policy makers
E
There should be active state intervention in the economy
Açıklama:
The origins of economic nationalism can be traced back to the work of Alexander Hamilton and Friedrich List. Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804) was the first secretary of the treasury of the United States. As such, he was a statesman rather than a theorist. However, his “Report on Manufactures,” which was submitted to the United States Congress in 1791, was an important classic economic nationalist text. In that report, Hamilton examined how to stimulate the US national economy. According to him, a national economy policy should aim at being independent (secure from external inference) rather than just accumulating material welfare. That is, the national economic goal ought to be to create a self-reliant economy rather than a wealthy economy. Hamilton saw active state intervention (or in a better word direct state involvement) as a must for the industrialization.

defending property rights and for the provision of goods and services that markets couldn’t produce
Açıklama:
Liberals basically argue that there is no need for the state to bring together buyer and seller, set prices and quantities, or spur investment and production. The ‘invisible hand’ will find the most effective balance in the market instead of any central authority. That is, markets govern production, consumption, and exchange on its own in a best effective and efficient way. These are orders that, to Adam Smith, spring to life through the operation of an Invisible Hand; to F.A. Hayek, they are spontaneous orders; and to Paul Krugman, they are self-organising systems. Yet, there is room for the state in overseeing the proper functioning of markets, defending property rights, and for the provision of goods and services that markets couldn’t produce, such as national defence.

Açıklama:
Mercantilism was properly regarded as a blend of economic fallacy and state creation of special privilege. As the earliest systemic understanding of IPE, mercantilism goes back to the period between the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. To understand mercantilism, we must look back to the eco-political environment of which the mercantilism was born out. Throughout that period mercantilism served both as a state policy and an economic theory. Mercantilists were also in cooperation with absolutist princes during an era of state-building out of the ashes of feudalism. Therefore, mercantilism was a strong nation-building policy as well as an economic policy. In this sense, it was not surprising to see that mercantilism first occurred in Britain and France, two of the successful absolutist states at that time.

Remember that in physiocracy profit (in physiocratic language net product) came from agriculture and therefore capital accumulation or the wealth of nations was relying upon effectiveness in capitalist agriculture production. Therefore in physiocracy, the other classes not occupied with agriculture were simply seen as unproductive one. Here in mercantilism, profit or the source of the capital accumulation came from merchandise trade. That is, buying cheap and selling expensive. So, the important question turned to be how to increase effectiveness in trade in order to increase profit. To this end, the mercantilists in cooperation with monarchs had done several things to create a favourable balance of trade by applying: i. Prioritized policies to increase export; ii. Prioritized policies to decrease import; iii. Created trade monopolies; iv. Heavily relied on state coercive powers to expand and protect economic interests.

Regarding the periods of globalization, it is generally argued that the globalization process went
through four main phases. The first phase which started in 1860 and ended in 1914 under Britain’s
economic leadership, related to the strong internationalization of Europe and north America with the
acceleration of the flow of goods, humans and capital between countries as well as more pronounced
financial integration. The second phase started in the post-second world war under the leadership of the USA as the
world’s super-economic power. The third phase is in-between the post-cold war era and the beginning of the 2008 financial and
economic crisis. The fourth phase of globalization which started from the 2008 financial crisis to present is marked by
increasing economic competition between the US and China, and the strengthening of the digital economy.

Açıklama:
The transfer of public resources to the banking sector caused a reaction when the citizens of the country lost their homes because they could not pay their loans. There were protests in 41 US states (Atasever, 2016: 66-68). In the following process, Barack Obama, who was elected President of the United States, took over a very challenging financial situation. For the purpose of structural reform, the National Bank Supervisory Board was formed, audits tightened, and banks’ credit and deposit services were restructured. Finance companies have been obliged to increase their equity and thus they are able to compensate the damage in difficult situations (Bocutoğlu & Ekinci, 2009: 66).The reflection of the crisis on macroeconomic indicators was inevitable. The fall in house prices and the volatility in interest rates have emerged normally. However, growth rates decreased, industrial production decreased, trade slowed down, unemployment increased due to the effect of the bankrupt banks. As it can be understood from the figures only, the 2008 Mortgage Crisis is considered to be the first Global Crisis to take the whole world under influence (Kutlu & Demirci, 2011: 125-127).

Açıklama:
While Western Europe began to enter into capitalism and its market economy around 16th century onwards, the social relationships in Eastern part were not very conducive for broad market transactions. First agriculture was not very productive in the East and in order to compete with Western merchants and states, feudal rulers in Eastern Europe mostly chose to increase the burden of work and taxes over their serves. At that turning point in history, as market economy encouraged the development of civil initiatives and independent capital accumulation against feudal rulers in the West, general population in the East vastly suffered from growing pressure and restrictions on social and economic areas by their feudal landlords. Especially after the industrial revolution and overseas investments by Western capitalism, one can argue that there emerged a significant gap between two sides of the continent.

Açıklama:
Socialist economies tried to prevent economic instabilities like high inflation, unemployment and income inequalities through abolishing private owners- hip over the means of production. Then they created a command economy, in which major and minor decisions about the economic life were taken by the planning commissions of state. Though socialist planning increased the wel- fare of people in the first 50 years until 1980’s, it faced rising obstacles at the end of 1970’s as socialist economies left behind in technological innovation and producing more consumer goods. Western officials argued that, lack of incentives for innovation for individuals in socialist systems mostly resulted with bureaucratic inefficiency. Also lack of participation by the people into political and economic decision making through those seven decades further weaken the efficient operation of socialist planning.

In terms of economic problems that Eastern European economies encountered during the transition to market economy, biggest issue was the lack of institutional framework. Eastern Europe populations did not have experiences with widespread market operations and associated legal regulations. For example, how to protect the private property rights of corporations and individuals after decades of communist era was not easy. In addition to that, economic policies that were advised by the IMF like privatization of state assets did not have necessary regulations that may prevent any plundering of public wealth during transition period. Also fast implementation of structural adjustment programs, i.e shock therapy, created mafia like organizations, who took advantage of those legal loopholes and even threatened the small property owners in the aftermath of the collapse of socialism. Countries, who politically controlled the market economy reform process achieved much stable results compared to hasty reform application of Russia in the 1990’s.

Açıklama:
Poverty, lack of both industrialization and urban development were important problems of China even in early 1980’s.Opening up of China to foreign market operations after 1978 mainly closed this gap and country began to surpass other emerging market economies in the first decade of 21st century. At that point China used its enormous labor force that can be mobilized for industrial production as the country contains almost third of world’s workforce. In addition to above arguments, one can count the existence of state control over strategic sectors in China as another fact that made Chinese transition more successful. Unlike hasty privatizations of 90’s Eastern European economies, Chinese ruling party preferred to control important sectors, such as telecommunication, energy, transportation and opted to privatize the most unproductive state enterprises. Also Chinese ability to learn industrial design and production techniques from foreign corporations helped countries economic development. Though, these Chinese practices were a lot of times accused by Western countries for being unfair trade operations.

Açıklama:
Poland was an exception compared to other countries in the bloc as it had milder authoritarianism because of earlier started resistance to full-scale Soviet control. After 1976 it’s civic associations, especially the Solidarity trade union, began its democratization demands against single-party government. Also in 1989, Polish regime under general Jaruzelski was the first in Eastern Europe in terms of initiation for democratic multi-party elections. That multi-party election framework was negotiated with the opposition groups. Poland created a semi-presidential system under Lech Walesa’s leadership and consolidated its democratic transition earlier than others. In Linz and Stephan’s words, this consolidation usually means that consecutive multi-party elections are held without significant disturbance and the country sees a change of leadership in that period of transition. Other issues that helped Poland in this relatively easier political transition were, first, Catholic church in the country had some autonomy from the Communist-led governments and began a culture of resistance with the help of papacy.

So, one can predict the enormous transformation that China went through with the expanding globalization of production. But what made those changes in China? If we look at the features of the Chinese revolution in 1949, it was different from Soviet experience in terms of the dominance of peasants over the culture and politics of the country. So China did not develop even early Soviet democracy. Maoist largely accused the USSR in the 1950s for collaborating with the world capitalist system.

In today’s China, one can argue that more than half of the total production was made by private sector, though they had strict guidelines from the state and government plan. So China can be accepted as a mixed economy that successfully combines private initiative and profit motive with general industrial plans of the state. But also since 2001 when China entered into WTO ( World Trade Organization) most economists in the WTO classified Chinese enterprises as not different from private corporate entities in terms of decision making autonomy. That means these state-owned corporations usually decide production and marketing according to the market price signals.

The last attempt by Kornilov and pro-Tsarist groups to erase the power of Soviets in mid summer 1917 was defeated and in November 1917 first socialist state of the world was founded. But aside from the historical backwardness compared to Western countries, Russian revolution was largely isolated without the experience of Western parliamentary traditions, civilian struggles for democratic rights and mass of peasant population did not ease the conditions for a working class revolution, which supposedly established the workers’ rule over society. But as the events surrounding the first constitutional assembly in Russia showed, neither Bolsheviks nor most of other groups accepted Western norms of parliaments. Under economic and political difficulties, Bolsheviks chose to use force against the opposition, that literally turned Soviet Russia into one party state. Years of civil war, 1918-1921, further escalated the difficulties of conditions in the country. Therefore, the correct option is C.

The ruling party’s reforms did not have any political liberalization program, as the Chinese Communist Party saw the collapsing USSR and Eastern Bloc economies in 1980’s. Ruling elite in China took the lesson from Soviet experience that without a sound economic structure, political and cultural reforms would cause unexpected turn of events, which the single party government can not control. One of the biggest examples of these policies was demonstrations in Tiananmen square in 1989. Chinese population saw that political openness of Gorbachev and his reforms in Eastern Europe and demanded the same political liberalization in China too, but Chinese bureaucrats were not ready to accept a transition to capitalism without their firm control. That was also a reflection of thousand years of Chinese political culture which mainly uphold the state and ruling elites’ interests far above the interests of ordinary Chinese. In 1989, first phase of economic reforms created imbalances between countryside and special economic zones in coastal areas. Unemployment, rising inflation, greater inequalities among party officials and masses, increasing corruption were all symptoms of political problems that surround China. In Tiananmen, ruling elite violently suppressed the demonstrators with around 1300 deaths but unlike the chaotic 1990’s in post-Soviet Russia, China passed the same era relatively calm. They even sped up the reform process in economy after 1992. Therefore, the correct option is B.

It is argued that globalization has its advantages as well as its disadvantages. Although competition can be seen as a benefit for consumers, it may require struggle in terms of the producer. Moreover, as seen in the examples of the global economic crisis, economic problems in a country can easily spread to other countries and spread to the global scale. Apart from these, due to globalization, the distinction between the north and south has become more visible and the idea that the rich become richer and the poor become poorer became widespread. For the developed countries, the biggest problem is the loss of jobs and the transfer of jobs to lower-cost countries.
