“…History provides several examples of the importance of land and property taxes in enhancing the territorial, social and economic reach of the state. In the case of Japan, Taiwan and Korea, a land tax was introduced as part of a production strategy to help improve agricultural production (see Bird, 1977; Grabowski, 2008). The link between tax collection strategies and production strategies is often missing in contemporary discussion of tax collection.…”

“…The land tax reform was accepted because the state offered two important things in return: (a) the Meji leaders terminated feudal rights and strengthened the property rights of tenants; and (b) the state provided services in the form of a research and extension system for the agricultural sector (Grabowski, 2008). Tenants were favoured overwhelmingly in conflicts with landlords.…”

“…Tenants were favoured overwhelmingly in conflicts with landlords. As a result, the landlord system was significantly weakened, which paved the way for the land reform that the US government promoted in the post‐World War II period (Grabowski, 2008). Another important feature of the land tax in Japan was that it was introduced as part of a production strategy to help improve agricultural production.…”

Di John J. Taxation, developmental state capacity and poverty reduction Int J Soc Welfare 2011: 20: 270–279 © 2011 United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD), International Journal of Social Welfare © 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the International Journal of Social Welfare. This article argues that policy instruments in taxation are likely to be more effective when one views taxation not only in terms of administrative capacity, but also when tax is viewed in wider developmental processes. Much of the literature and policy on taxation explores how to improve taxation in terms of administrative capacity without examining what policies are needed to improve the incentives of taxpayers to comply. The article provides examples of how tax reform can be more usefully employed when linked to explicit production strategies. It also argues that the success of improved tax collection needs to be assessed, not simply in terms of revenue increases, but also how these increases affect distributional outcomes and political stability.

“…Other researchers have argued that there is an interplay or co‐evolution between institutional change and economic change: the two changes are facets of the same process (Shiue and Keller, 2004; Grabowski, 2008). Such researchers are asking the primordial question (Axis 1).…”

Why Europe? A Critique of Institutionalist and Culturalist Economics

Economists have recently started to discuss the roles of institutions and cultural beliefs in explaining the performance of civilizations. This paper investigates two views, 'institutionalist economics' and 'culturalist economics', with regard to the question of why Europe rose economically a few centuries ago, while other regions of the world lagged behind. These two views share a common platform raised on two pillars. First, both regard institutions/beliefs as extraeconomic -as primordial entities that ultimately stand independent of economic performance. Second, both regard economic performance as fully determined by institutions/beliefs -i.e. normative causality in the sense that institutions/beliefs determine performance. Douglass North's (2005) analysis of economic performance, for example, is based on both pillars. Concerning the primordial pillar, he attributes 'the mystery' of the rise of Europe to primordial beliefs, viz. 'Christian dogma' and English 'individualism'. Concerning the normative pillar, he presumes that such beliefs have almost one-to-one correspondence with economic performance. This paper, though, maintains that the two pillars (primordial analysis and normative causality) are rather fragile: Advocates of the first pillar fail to recognize that institutions/beliefs are endogenous. Advocates of the second pillar fail to recognize that institutions/beliefs can give rise to diverse economic performances.

“…Cada una de ellas busca alcanzar transformaciones relevantes en el territorio: equidad, competitividad, sostenibilidad y gobernanza, respectivamente. Grabowski (2008) anota que las debilidades institucionales en América Latina están asociadas con el grado de desigualdad en el sector rural, agrícola.…”

Se realizó un análisis del currículo del programa de Tecnología Agropecuaria del Politécnico Colombiano Jaime Isaza Cadavid, único de este nivel y con esta denominación acreditado de alta calidad en Colombia. El objetivo fue determinar la pertinencia del programa con el enfoque territorial del desarrollo rural. El enfoque metodológico fue el mixto. Los instrumentos para la obtención de datos cualitativos fueron el análisis documental a partir de la metodología para el análisis curricular propuesta por Posner (2004) y entrevistas dirigidas a las directivas académicas, los datos cuantitativos, se obtuvieron mediante la aplicación de un cuestionario a los profesores, estudiantes, egresados y sector empleador. La integración de datos evidenció, el desarrollo de un modelo curricular racional, la supremacía de unas áreas de formación sobre las otras, cambios en el perfil de ingreso de estudiantes, incoherencias en el perfil de egreso y un déficit de formación práctica situada en la ruralidad. Se concluye que el programa declara propósitos, contenidos y prácticas pertinentes con el enfoque territorial, que no se desarrollan en la práctica docente.
