Vortrag von Prof. Dr. Thomas Kalinowski im Institut für Koreastudien

 

Wir freuen uns am  Dienstag, den 15. Januar 2013 Herr Prof. Dr. Thomas Kalinowski, Associate Professor an der ‘Graduate School of International Studies’ der südkoreanischen ‘Ewha Womens University’, zu einem Vortrag mit dem Titel  ‚Crisis Management and East Asian Capitalism: Fiscal Stimulus Packages and Industrial Policies in Japan, Korea and China since 2008’ im Institut für Koreastudien begrüßen zu dürfen.

 

Zum Vortrag:

The presented paper contributes to a deeper understanding of the benefits and challenges of integrating East Asian capitalism into the study of the diversity of capitalism. Most notably, we combine research on the East Asian developmental state with studies in the field of comparative political economy. At the empirical level, the paper studies the distinct reaction of Japan, China, and Korea to the global financial crisis since 2008 with a focus on stimulus packages. Unlike in the West where a (mostly short-lived) revival of Keynesian strategies could be observed, East Asian countries reinforced industrial policies and reverted to neo-mercantilist recovery strategies.
