“…On the other hand, one can hardly deny the economic gap and the functional integration of the Eastern European regions into a Westernled world economy. There have always been attempts to overcome the peripheral status by catching-up efforts (Nolte 1991;Kappeler 2002;Komlosy 2012;Senghaas 1982). So Eastern Europe can be regarded as peripheral part of a modernization process which is centred in Western (and Central) Europe, which needs and creates peripheries.…”

“…This gave way to an evaluation of socialism as a means of catching-up development policy. As a result, the political and economic measure-ments of socialist planning and development were analysed as means to up-grade and to integrate peripheral Eastern Europe into the world economy; at the same time global economic changes were acknowledged to be decisive for the regional performance of Eastern European socialism (Frank 1977(Frank , 1992Hofbauer and Komlosy 2000;Komlosy 2012). The increase of trade and financial relations, and in some cases of industrial cooperation, in the 1960s and 1970s, which marked a shift from import-substitution to debt-based, import-led growth, thus could be discussed in a broader framework, which was able to combine internal blockages of the socialist system with a new global paradigm.…”

Starting from the historical roots of Eastern European peripheralization and orientalization in the framework of the unfolding unequal division of labour in Europe since the 16 th century, the article is discussing concepts and trajectories of "catching-up" between 1867 and 2004. Both associative dependent integration with the world-economic cores and self-reliant national or regional integration can be observed. The evaluation departs from four historical moments, 1867 (Austro-Hungarian Compromise), 1918, 1945and 1989 with an outlook on the new geopolitical dividing lines and alliances after the dissolution of Comecon 1991 and the beginning of EU-enlargement towards Eastern Europe in 2004. Strategies, successes and limits are discussed in front of the interest of Western powers and Russia as well as geopolitical moments and cycles, offering opportunities and restrictions for governments to improve their national economy and international performance. In spite of undeniable upgrading processes in some periods, catching-up has been overshadowed by four fundamental traps: the growth trap, the national trap, the debt trap and the militarization trap, occuring at specific moments of the process, allowing to identify cycles of catching-up. Finally, as catching-up has been reproducing dependency and peripheralization in new forms, the concept of catching-up has to be reconsidered.

Crises, Long Waves, and World-System Analysis

The article introduces the concept of long waves or business cycles. It argues that by framing business cycles in a world-system perspective, its initially Western centric character could be overcome and could be used for analyzing the polarizing tendencies of global capitalism as an uneven and combined economic system, constantly producing and reproducing cores and peripheries. Moreover, world-system scholars interconnected business cycles with hegemonic cycles, characterized by a primus inter pares among the dominant core powers. While the hegemon is acquiring an accepted leading position based on economic, military and cultural power, cyclical change is undermining this position, giving way for competing successors. Based on historical explorations of British and US hegemony, the article discusses the prospects of a hegemonic succession after the decline of the United States. It analyzes whether such a hegemonic change will take place in the framework of the capitalist world system, eventually leading to a period of presumably Chinese hegemony, or whether the current global turmoil will rather open a period of chaos, putting an end to the cyclical renewal of global capitalism, as we experienced during the last 500 years.

Chile erlebt seit Oktober 2019 eine Welle sozialer Proteste. Dem Aufstand gegen das »neoliberale Modell« schlossen sich innerhalb kürzester Zeit große Teile der Bevölkerung an und beteiligten sich an monatelangen Auseinandersetzungen und Organisierungsprozessen. Unsere These ist, dass es sich dabei um Klassenkonflikte handelt, die sich allerdings in ihrer Form von typischen Kämpfen zwischen Kapital und Arbeit unterscheiden, wie wir sie in der Regel im Anschluss an Marx denken und aus den globalen Zentren der Weltwirtschaft kennen. Obwohl sich die betrachteten Auseinandersetzungen stark um die Themen der Kommodifizierung und Unsicherheit drehen, handelt es sich aber auch nicht um klassenübergreifende Konflikte gegenüber dem Markt im Sinne von Polanyi. Am chilenischen Fall zeigen wir vielmehr, dass Klassenkonflikte außerhalb des engen Feldes betrieblicher Auseinandersetzungen eigene Formen annehmen können, was entscheidende Konsequenzen in Bezug auf die damit einhergehenden Machtressourcen, Subjekte, aber auch Potenziale beinhaltet.
