• Sommario/riassunto: Konrad Sziedat untersucht erstmals systematisch die Hoffnungen, die westdeutsche Linke seit 1980 in die Transformationsprozesse im "Ostblock" setzten. Ausgehend von der Unterstützungskampagne "Solidarität mit Solidarność" kann er mit den Möglichkeiten der historischen Netzwerkanalyse zeigen, wie Linke unterschiedlichster ; ideologischer Orientierung wiederholt zu gemeinsamen Aktionen zusammenfanden. Auch verdeutlicht er an der Historischen Semantik von Begriffen wie "Sozialismus", "dritter Weg" und "Zivilgesellschaft" Erwartungen und Enttäuschungen westdeutscher Linker bis Mitte der 1990er Jahre. Der tiefgreifende Wandel der Linken im späten 20. Jahrhundert wird damit in den größeren Zusammenhang des mittel- und osteuropäischen Umbruchs eingebettet.; The West German left was heavily invested in the transformation processes in the "Eastern bloc" after 1980. It organized solidarity for Solidarność, and despite any ideological difference, continued to take part in joint activities. Konrad Sziedat traces the expectations - and disillusionments - of the West-German left through the mid-1990s by examining the historical semantics of such terms as "socialism," "Third Way," and "civil society."

• Sommario/riassunto: Experts analyze four factors in China's economic growth: exchange rate policy, savings and investments, monetary policy, and foreign direct investments. China is now the world's second largest economy and may soon overtake the United States as the world's largest. Despite its adoption of some free-market principles, China considers itself a "socialist-market economy," suggesting that the government still plays a major role in the country's economic development. This book offers a systematic analysis of four factors in China's rapid economic growth: exchange rate policy, savings and investment, monetary policy and capital controls, and foreign direct investment (FDI). Contributors offer fresh perspectives on the undervaluation of the renminbi, the dollar peg, and China's macroeconomic relationships with the rest of the world. They review factors shaping China's saving dynamics and analyze the growth of the private sector despite limited access to external finance. They examine the monetary policy independence of the People's Bank of China, offshore markets for China's currency, and the effectiveness of China's capital controls. Finally, they consider Chinese FDI in terms of China's growing demand for energy and raw materials, exploring the factors that drive China's FDI in the conventional oil-producing countries and in Africa.
