  1. Globalization and the BRIC’s Emergence – Understanding challenges and opportunities

  2. The BRICs

  3. Determinants of economic well-being • Environment and resources • Geography, climate, disease and demography (human and animal) • Human and non-human capital; Land • Culture, philosophy and religion • Impact on motives, incentives and opportunities • Political and social institutions • Individual freedom vs. authoritarian control • Rule of law: extent of arbitrary confiscation or taxation • Order vs. anarchy: stimulate or retard economic expansion? • Markets: “The Division of Labour is Limited by the Extent of the Market” • Incentives to trade and save (requires protection of property rights) • Competition versus exercise of monopoly power • Extraction of surplus: what remains for capital accumulation? • Technologies and their application • Diffusion of new ideas and incentives for their application(Commercial links promoted the spread of new technologies) • Freedom to reap the rewards from investment (capital accumulation)

  4. Specificities of BRICS • Wide variation of production structures • heterogeneity of production systems • heterogeneity of demand • Shortage of capital and knowledge • Wide regional differences • gap between the most and the least developed regions enormous and still growing. • Wide income differences • extremely high open and hidden unemployment among unskilled workers • there may be shortages of skilled labour

  5. How to analyze the BRICs? • History • Politics • Culture • modes of insertion in globalization • FDI (scale and type very different) • Migration • source of both capital and skilled labour (Diasporas in China and India) • Brain Drain

  16. Eurasia: economic integration & development • Europe was in relative decline after collapse of Roman Empire • Dark Ages and Middle Ages, through to c1500 • Centuries of change, not stagnation but not sustained progress either • Contact with rest of world (Asia) via Middle East: upheavals of political & religious conflict, but trade continues too, even expands • East Asia: Chinese civilisation developed early relative to Europe • Subject to Mongol invasion & domination from 12th to 14th centuries • Sea-borne trade with south Asia, gradually extending westwards • Overland trade via “silk road”, the Levant and Venice • South Asia: long history of diverse civilisations • Subject to periodic invasions (e.g. Moghuls) overland from the west • Sea-borne trade via Arabia, the Levant and Venice • Development of the “European exception” (economic success) • A “great divergence” emerged, but when? Probably not until after 1500, some argue not until as late as 1800 (the “California School”)

  17. The divergencebetween the richestparts of China (Yangzidelta) and England occurredbetween 1750 and 1800 • Whatgave England/Europe the decisiveadvantagesover the Yangzidelta/China were • 1) Colonieswhichensured the supply of cotton, produced and processedwithcheepslavelabour • 2) Coal in locationsnear the industrialcenters • Therefore England couldescapethe landconstraint

  18. Pomeranz – pros and cons • Against “involution” thesis – diminishing marginal returns because of population increase (Philip C. Huang) • Since then: lively debates on issues of calculation and miscalculation • West was advanced in comparison to China: Education (indicator: book production) • China had coal and iron, not near Yangzi delta, but near Hankou, another industrial/entrepot city. • Moreover, transport was sophisticated in 18th c. China

  21. GDP structure (demand side)

  22. Growth Conditions • Sound, stable macroeconomic policies • Strong, stable political institutions • Openness • High levels of education • ‘Miracle’ conditions are not needed.

  23. Russia • As a single geopolitical entity, has existed for barely twenty years. • drastic political, economic and intellectual changes from the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union • Oil/natural resources dependence  Dutch disease • Kremlin China • Linear economic transformation since 1979 • SOE reform • Private entrepreneurship • FDI • Less clear-cut political transformation • Beijing • Local level

  24. Brazil • Internal cleavages  complex political economy • Military experience • Political alternance • More stable than it seems? India • Much greater diversity • A democratic miracle? • Economic transformation since 1991 • Political alternance • Less stable than it seems?
