A review essay on books by: Robert Boyer & Jean-Pierre Durand, L'Apres-Fordisme ([Post-Fordism] Paris: Syros, 1993); Jean-Pierre Durand (Ed), Vers un nouveau modele productif ([Toward a New Model of Production] Paris: Syros, 1993); & Alain Lipietz, Towards a New Economic Order. Post-Fordism, Ecology and Democracy (Cambridge: Polity Press, 1989 [see listings in IRPS No. 81]). Boyer & Durand examine the role of state interventionism & the character of the new productivism of emerging world order. The principles, organization, & wage relations of the new productive model are described. Its development requires new types of collective/state action, eg, development of transport & telecommunications infrastructures, synergies between public research & industry, & strategies of technology transfer. The Durand volume also examines the new productive order, but with skepticism. The development of flexible mass production & the transformation of the principles of Taylorism/Fordism have occurred, but the transformation is uneven, watered down, & not qualitatively new. Refinement rather than replacement of principles is the key process at work in the economic order. Lipietz examines the postwar economic model, analyzes the strengths & weaknesses of the emerging liberal productivism, & presents a compromise economic order based on three elements; (1) a new wages pact characterized by worker involvment, productivity & quality, full employment, & increased free time; (2) development of the welfare state into the welfare community & establishment of self-managed community work schemes; & (3) the internationalist demand for a new multilateral world order. 1 Figure.

The political development of Romania started after the death of Nicole Ceausescu in 1989. The article describes and analyses institutional and behavioural dynamics of the political processes that have occurred in Romania since 1989. This article focuses on the constitutional framework of governing institutions. This paper tries to explore the understanding of theoretical approaches to political and institutional development in the country. It examines the evolution of legislative, executive, and judiciary bodies. These are the three pillars of democracy. The article discusses how political parties participating in elections, form a government and will look at the stability of the institutions. This article examines institutional foundations of the coalition government in the 1990–2020 post-communist democracy period in Romania.

This book draws from previously unpublished letters and interviews with physicists, theologians, and Sir John's close associates and family to present Sir John's ideas on pure unlimited love. Post, who was in dialogue with Sir John for fifteen years on this topic and who had founded the Institute for Research on Unlimited Love (www.unlimitedloveinstitute.com), addresses how John Templeton arrived at his philosophy as a youth growing up in Tennessee. Post also shares how classical Presbyterian ideas came to synergize in his mind with the more eastern influences of American transcendentalism and

Post-Foucauldian discourse and dispositif analysis, a methodological approach inspired by the work of Michel Foucault and developed in Western Europe, over the last decade has gained an increasing amount of attention from Eastern European researchers. Yet, this interest has not been accompanied by sufficient reflection on the post-Foucauldian perspective's adequacy for studying power, governance, and subjectification in post-socialist societies. In particular, there is little criticism that would take into account the current discussion on Foucault's ambivalent attitude towards neoliberalism. The goal of this article is to examine this line of criticism of Foucault's late works and to point to its importance for dispositif analysis carried out in Eastern and Central European societies (e.g., Poland) in comparison to analyses carried out in Western Europe (e.g., Germany). I propose a number of methodological recommendations that aim at adapting post-Foucauldian research instruments to facilitate analyzing power relations in the post-socialist context; these include: an interdisciplinary combination of discourse analysis and an analysis of macroeconomic and macrosocial factors; an analysis of the practices of normalization in post-socialist societies with reference to the Center-Periphery relationship; introducing elements of semiology, anthropology of the contemporary and cultural identity analysis to dispositif analysis.
