“…While this seems to support the pessimistic view that initial conditions determine future outcomes (Fish 1997;Kopstein and Reilly 2000;Guiso et al 2006;Zweynert 2006), there is also a more optimistic view on the potential for institutional progress in rent-seeking societies which links economics and politics. Olson (2000) argues that the availability of short-term rents like nonrenewable resources provides the basis for the rent-seeking strategy of "roving bandits" but that "roving bandits" could transform into "stationary bandits" after having reached the limits of their capacities to accumulate and control the wealth on the basis of informal institutions (see also Tornell 1998;Dixit, Grossman and Helpman 1997;Aslund 1995 and.…”

“…The latter is equivalent to estimating an OLS model that includes a series of country dummies. The FE model is a very stringent specification that captures all variations related to time-invariant country differences, consequently eliminating any potential omitted variable bias related to these country characteristics, such as legacies (Schimmelfennig and Scholz 2008), geographical proximity to Western Europe (Kopstein and Reilly 2000), domination of the country/territory by Moscow during socialism, religion (Anderson 2005), protest history (Ekiert 1996), establishing an independent state after 1989, whether the transition from communism was negotiated or not (Welsh 1994), or initial elections index (Fish 1997). (This is also the reason why, in the FEs model, we cannot include ethnic minority size, which is time invariant.)…”

Ten years after European Union (EU) enlargement, democracy in the East European new member states is still a topic of discussion. This paper focuses on the initial years of democratisation in these countries, and asks what economic, political, and social processes explain its variation. Cross-sectional time series analysis (1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002) shows the impact of political orientation of ruling parties to reform, electoral institutions, size of ethnic minorities, and the extent of EU integration, but not economic development. Further, we disaggregate the effect of EU integration and find that early Europe Agreements signing has a more significant effect than the pre-accession membership negotiation stage.

“…Einen kurzen Über-blick über die interne Debatte geben Hirst/ Thompson (1996). 12 Zur Erklärung der Vielfalt von Transformationsarten siehe auch Fish (1998) und King (2000). Anzumerken ist hier, dass die vielfältigen Ausprägungen der Transformation in Ost-und Mitteleuropa unseres Erachtens keineswegs eine Rückkehr zu den vorsozialistischen Unterschieden dieser Länder reflektieren (z.B.…”

Ansätze und Fragestellungen einer neoklassischen SoziologieDieser Artikel stellt theoretische und methodische Ansätze einer neoklassischen Soziologie vor. Die neoklassische Soziologie versteht sich als eine Habermas'sche Rekonstruktion der von ihren klassischen Theoretikern, hier vor allem Max Weber, konzeptualisierten, grundlegenden Idee der Disziplin. Mit Blick auf die Entwicklungen in Ost-und Mitteleuropa widersprechen wir der dominanten Vorstellung einer einzigen, homogenisierenden Globalisierungslogik. Sowohl in der Geschichte als auch in der Gegenwart lässt sich nämlich eine bemerkenswerte Vielfalt kapitalistischer Formen und Ausprägungen feststellen. Weder soziologische Netzwerktheorien oder Theorien der "Einbettung" noch ökonomische Modelle rationalen Handelns vermögen diese Vielfalt angemessen zu erfassen. Der hier vorgestellte neoklassische Ansatz verknüpft empirische, vergleichende Ansätze der Untersuchung des Kapitalismus mit einem ironischen historischen Analyseansatz und ermöglicht so erst eine differenzierte und kritische soziologische Analyse der verschiedenen Formen des Kapitalismus.
