Interven*on

7. Source
of
State
Resilience
l State
has
not
changed
so
much:
trade
integra*ons,
poli*cal-­‐ideological
realm
(
Berger
et
al.,
1996)
l Demand
of
changing
is
not
much,
ci*zens
did
not
want
to
change,
but
governments
themselves
(S.
Vogel,
1999;
Pierson,
1994)
l The
constrains
on
the
stats
have
grown,
but
it
is
just
a
small
adjustment
(GarreZ,
1998a;
Mosley,
2003):
Keynesian
demand
s*mula*ons
l New
development
is
the
path
dependence.

8. Intellectual
Antecedents
l Ins*tu*ons
have
changed
con*nuously
(Streeck
and
Thelen,
2005)
l Market
making
is
a
state
ac*vi*es
(Polanyi,
1944)
l An
emerging,
enabling
perspec*ve
on
globaliza*on
(Paul,
Ikenbery,
and
Hall,
2003;
Weiss
2003c)

12. State
Coordina*on
Vs.
Employer
Coordina*on
l Varie*es
of
Capitalism
(LME
&
CME)
:
The
firm-­‐centered
economy
(Hall
and
Soskie
2001a,
2001b).
“This
is
a
firm
centered
poli(cal
economy
that
regards
companies
as
the
crucial
actors
in
a
capitalist
economy”
l The
authors
in
this
book
claimed
that
firms
cannot
be
the
center
economy.

13. Conclusion
l Globaliza*on
and
new
technologies,
are
pressing
for
a
rollback
of
state
regula*on
in
the
economy
l State
ac*vism
has
shihed,
rather
than
simply
eroded.
