“…This realization no doubt signaled the transition from commercial and industrial leadership to overt financial hegemony over international capital and money markets, a trend identified by Braudel (1980) and Wallerstein (1980, 38) as the traditional path of hegemonic transition.…”

There is no disputing Germany's dominant economic role within the eurozone (EZ) and the broader European Union. Economic leadership, however, entails responsibilities, especially in a world system of monetary production economies that compete with each other according to political and economic interests. In the first section of this paper, historical context is given to the United States' undisputed leadership of monetary production economies following the end of World War II to help frame the broader discussion developed in the second section on the requirements of the leading nation-state in the new system of states after the war. The second section goes on further to discuss how certain constraints regarding the external balance do not apply to the leader of the monetary production economies. The third section looks at Hyman P. Minsky's proposal for a shared burden between the hegemon and other core industrial economies in maintaining the stability of the international financial system. Section four looks at Germany's leadership role within the EZ and how it must emulate some of the United States' trade policies in order to make the EZ a viable economic bloc. The break up scenario is considered in the fifth section. The last section summarizes and concludes.

“…As a general theorem within social sciences, this approach has emerged in quite different disciplines. The longue durée approach formulated by the Annales School attempts to elucidate the importance of institutional inertia in historical research (Braudel and Wallerstein 2009). In sociology, even concepts criticizing unilineal evolutionary theories and emphasizing ability of individuals to be "institutional entrepreneurs" or "agents of change," do not disregard the power of inertia of institutions (customs, norms, rules) (e.g.…”

“…In this sense, a deep‐time perspective essentially refers to the general debate concerning how to move beyond the ethnographic present (Sanjek 1991) and events, and how different processes operate on different spatio‐temporal scales with different rhythms and durations (Bailey 2007). Such scales include Fernand Braudel's division of change into short‐term events, medium‐length conjunctures, and the longue durée (Braudel 1980 [1969]). To Braudel, the longue durée works as a form of long‐term historical background with its own constraints and opportunities, not unlike Bourdieu's notion of structure (1977): ‘a history in which all change is slow, a history of constant repetition, ever‐recurring cycles’ (Braudel 1995 [1966]: 20), a sort of protracted, unconscious history (cf.…”

The logics of enclosure: deep‐time trajectories in the spread of land tenure boundaries in late prehistoric northern Europe

Invasive schemes involving the erection of land tenure boundaries are currently spreading quickly across vast areas throughout the globe, turning former unfenced forests and grasslands into closed‐off parcels. These processes pose intriguing questions about the deep history of colonizing assemblages consisting of particular tenure practices, temporalities, and technologies, as well as their potential long‐term repercussions. This article expands the temporal horizon applied to human‐nonhuman configurations, endeavouring to focus beyond the ethnographic present or the event on trajectories as a particular spatial and temporal logic of fencing and the virtuality that ensues. It explores the earliest large‐scale spread of land tenure boundaries across northern Europe, a process which occurred between the seventeenth and fifth centuries BCE, several millennia after Neolithization. Significant ebbs and flows in this process demonstrate how fencing exerts pressure on the future, a conspiring of forces and potentialities regarding what may or may not turn into long‐term paths towards ever‐increasing or enduring boundaries. By applying a 2,000‐year timespan to the study of material ontologies, this article explores new interfaces between archaeology and new materialism which reveal the presence of formative yet dynamic processes and quasi‐paths.
