    Of Learning and Forgetting: Centrism, Populism, and the Legitimacy Crisis of Globalization

    Dignity, Inequality, and the Populist Backlash: Lessons from America and Europe for a Sustainable Globalization

    by Rawi Abdelal

    COVID-19 has enhanced already existing fissures undermining some societies’ commitments to globalization. Governments and firms need to act decisively to make the models of capitalism in the United States and Europe more friendly to small- and medium-sized firms, more equal in opportunity, and more meritocratic.

    The Profits of Power: Commercial Realpolitik in Eurasia

    by Rawi E. Abdelal

    The concept of good old-fashioned realpolitik-politics primarily shaped by practicality and power-has returned to Europe, clashing with the traditional ideologies of the European Union, says Harvard Business School professor Rawi Abdelal. Citing supporting evidence from the Russian gas giant Gazprom, he argues that scholars need to pay better attention to the role of large corporations in international relations. Key concepts include: Corporate firms, not states, are responsible for the return of realpolitik in Europe. The international political economy needs a better understanding of the role that these firms play in world politics. Closed for comment; 0 Comments.

    The Energy Politics of Russia vs. Ukraine

    by Garry Emmons

    A recent Harvard Business School case looks at Russia's decision in 2006 to cut off supply of natural gas to Ukraine's energy company—a move repeated this year. Is Russia just an energy bully? Students of professor Rawi Abdelal learn there is nothing black and white when it comes to Russia's energy politics. From HBS Alumni Bulletin. Key concepts include: The Western notion that Russia uses energy as a weapon is a media oversimplification of very complicated politics. Gazprom is the country's single most important company and biggest taxpayer. Because natural gas is much cleaner than oil or coal, Europe will likely become even more dependent on Russian gas. Energy can be a tool for influence but it's not an effective tool for domination. Russia will be in trouble if Europe decides to stop buying Russian gas. Closed for comment; 0 Comments.

    Capital Rules: The Tensions of Global Finance

    by Rawi Abdelal

    With the start of the new decade, most global financial powers are rethinking a previously powerful trend toward liberalizing global finance. In his new book Capital Rules, Professor Rawi Abdelal charts the intellectual, legal, and political history of financial globalization, and the tensions facing today's world economy. Read an excerpt. Key concepts include: The year 1998 was the closest the world has come to establishing a consensus that capital's right to freedom applies always and everywhere. The world looks different to most financial policymakers in the twenty-first century, with many regions, and the United States in particular, adopting ad hoc measures that benefit their own interests but ignore the lessons learned from financial crises in the 1920s and 1930s. The European Commission is the only recognized international financial authority to support complete, unqualified capital mobility. Closed for comment; 0 Comments.

    How Europe Wrote the Rules of Global Finance

    by Ann Cullen

    Following decades of liberalization, controls on cross-border capital movements are again being discussed by financial institutions, governments, and policymakers around the globe. Professor Rawi Abdelal discusses implications and the historical roles of Europe and the United States in promoting the flow of capital across national borders. Key concepts include: European policymakers, particularly the French, created regulations and enforcement that govern the majority of the world's capital flows. The U.S. has followed an ad hoc approach to capital liberalization, with no evidence it supported a liberal international financial regime. The trend toward liberalization and a lessening of capital controls on worldwide finance appears to be on the wane. Closed for comment; 0 Comments.

    Three Countries, Three Choices in Post-Soviet Eurasia

    by Martha Lagace

    The experience of three states of the former Soviet Union in the shadow of post-Soviet Russia, says HBS Professor Rawi Abdelal, shows that nationalism plays a far greater role in economic policy than has generally been recognized. Closed for comment; 0 Comments.
