“…Second, as the EU example shows, CSR also represents a site of political contestation at the international level. At the most optimistic, the increasing elaboration of policies (including CSR at the international level) represents a type of multi-layered government where power shifts to international organizations and multi-national corporations -adding another layer of governance (Held et al, 1999). At the most pessimistic, such activity represents a type of 'mandate creep' (Einhorn, 2001).…”

Within the literature focusing on CSR's role in development, three ‘schools of practice’ appear to be emerging: the neo‐liberal school (focused on self‐regulation by industry according to the risks and rewards of CSR activity), the state‐led school (focused on national and international regulation and co‐operation) and the ‘third way’ school (focused on the role of for profit and not‐for‐profit organizations. Yet, each of these schools of practice may be critiqued using theories applicable to the broader field of development. Namely, the neo‐liberal school fails to address the resource misallocations caused by CSR. The state‐led school fails to address the underlying politics behind government encouraged CSR. The ‘third way’ school fails to address the self‐interest involved in CSR. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.

“…David Held i suradnici postavljaju analitički okvir globalizacije koji se sastoji od četiri prostorno-vremenske dimenzije: doseg globalnih mreža, intenzitet globalne međupovezanosti, brzina globalnih tokova, te razmjer utjecaja globalne međupo-vezanosti po lokalne zajednice. U zadnjoj četvrtini dvadesetog stoljeća sve se četiri dimenzije izuzetno povećavaju (Held, et al 1999. ), a guste, intenzivne i trenutačne veze imaju značajan utjecaj u gotovo svakom kutku Zemlje, više zaobilazeći i transformirajući nego istiskujući nacijudržavu, lokalnu privredu, kulturu ili politiku.…”

(period 1970.-1996.). Ekonomske aktivnosti agregirane su u skladu sa Castellsovom adaptacijom Singelmannove klasifikacije sektora djelatnosti. Podaci za zemlje prvoga svijeta, usprkos međudržavnim razlikama, podrža-vaju izvorne teze. Analiza recentnih promjena u strukturi zaposlenosti u tranzicijskim zemljama prikazuje različite startne pozicije i različite obrasce transformacije. Zajednička im je karakteristika rast udjela proizvođačkih i društvenih usluga, dok su u strukturi zanimanja promjene manje.Hrvatski je slučaj analiziran nešto detaljnije, te su ustanovljene dvije etape razvoja strukture zaposlenosti. U godinama 1970.-1990. zaposlenost je rasla u obimu, ali je struktura djelatnosti bila gotovo zamrznuta zbog specifičnih političkih i institucionalnih uvjeta. Tijekom druge, tzv. ratno-tranzicijske etape (1990Tijekom druge, tzv. ratno-tranzicijske etape ( .-2001, broj zaposlenih se drastično smanjio, ali sa različitim učincima u različitim sektorima. Ukupan učinak na strukturu zaposlenosti bio je sličan onome u procesu kapitalističkog restrukturiranja u razvijenim zemljama -rast udjela zaposlenih u proizvođačkim i društvenim uslugama, te pad u transformativnom sektoru. U kasnim devedesetima struktura zaposlenosti se stabilizira, dok je tržište rada postalo dinamičnije.Ključne riječi: zaposlenost, struktura djelatnosti, struktura zanimanja, informacijsko društvo.

“…According to Held and McGrew (1999), the term "globalization" designates the set of processes that have stretched authority, participation, activity, and resolution beyond the physical borders of the national state. In sharp contrast to the preceding Cold War era, the capture of other nations' economies has acquired greater significance than the conquest of actual physical territory in today's world (Strange, 2000).…”

The Legacy of Conventional Textbook Trade Theory in the Light of Globalization

The term "globalization" designates the rapidly advancing international economic integration through substantial growth in trade of goods and services as well as surging cross-border factor mobility from the early 1990s onwards.This acceleration in the liberalization of world trade and capital movements is largely attributable to technological progress which significantly curtailed the expenses for transport as well as communication. In conjunction with the progressing opening of major newly industrializing economies endowed with abundant and cheap labor forces, it has reinforced a geographical fragmentation of production processes according to cost considerations. This phenomenon termed as "vertical specialization", "outsourcing" or also "slicing the value chain" in turn has translated into a hike in FDI and international trade of intermediate products. The main objective of this paper is to identify adequate trade models for assessing the corresponding effects of those developments. In this context, textbook trade theories spanning from comparative advantage à la Ricardo to the new-new trade theory are examined. Subsequently, we expand on globalization-induced new forms of trade (intra-firm trade, trade within the value chain) and finally conclude with our findings to properly account for those trends.
