THE EURODOLLAR MARKET, WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED IN THE CITY OF LONDON IN THE 1950S, CAN BE CONSIDERED THE PROGENITOR OF THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM WHICH EXITS TODAY. EXPLANATIONS AS TO WHY THIS DEVELOPMENT SHOULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN LONDON, RELY, FOR THE MOST PART, ON TWO CONTENDING THESES: THAT IT WAS THE DIRECT CONSEQUENCE OF THE MARKET MECHANISM INEVITABLY OVERCOMING OFFICIAL OBSTRUCTION, OR "FRICTION"; OR THAT DELIBERATE STATE ACTION CREATED THE CONDITIONS WHICH ALLOWED THE MARKET TO EVOLVE AND OPERATE. THIS ARTICLE, WHICH IS BASED ON ARCHIVAL EVIDENCE AND INTERVIEWS WITH STATE AND PRIVATE SECTOR FIGURES INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EUROMARKETS, ARGUES THAT THE CITY'S POSITION AT THE CENTER OF THE EUROCURRENCY SYSTEM WAS A DIRECT CONSEQUENCE OF IT HAVING EVOLVED WITHIN AN INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK ESTABLISHED OVER 100 YEARS EARLIER. THIS SEEKS TO CHALLENGE SIMPLE STATE /MARKET DICHOTOMIES AND SUGGESTS THAT THE ORGINS OF THE EUROMARKETS CAN BE BETTER UNDERSTOOD WITH REFERENCE TO THE "GOVERNANCE OF REGULATORY SPACE."

This article analyzes recent variations in governing strategies in different Indian states. Those variations mean that the 'Indian state', as citizens experience it, takes different forms in different states. Between 1989 and mid-2014, no single party could gain a parliamentary majority. That caused a major decentralization of power away from the once dominant Prime Minister's Office—horizontally to other institutions at the national level, and vertically downward to governments at the state level. Ironically, that decentralization of power at the national level was accompanied by a marked centralization of power in the hands of chief ministers within many states. This is connected to a surge in state and central government revenues after 2003, and to India's far from neoliberal economic order which leaves huge discretionary power in politicians' hands. Various devices—legitimate and illicit—which chief ministers use to increase their influence and to survive in power are examined.

This article explores a significant scientific problem and an actual issue of real politics, understanding the process and the specifics of the state identity politics. State identity politics is connected with symbolic politics and, in particular, the politics of historical memory. While much has been written on this topic, the lack of a reasonable unambiguous interpretation of such concepts as "state identity", "national and state identity", "civic identity" suggests that more can be said. This article provides information on the development of the theory of identity politics, describes the developmental directions of the concept of state identity politics, identifies the problems of constructing the basic matrix of state identity, identifies the problem areas for the formation of the political elite model of state identity, and discusses the hidden conflicting characteristics of state identity politics. The author focuses on developments on these issues of Russian political scientists. A separate point of discussion is the formation of state identity politics in the so-called "new" states, which have to use technologies including "post-truths" to prove the uniqueness and authenticity of the history of their states. The author believes that at present the financial, organizational and technical resources that a state uses to implement the identity politics are becoming the object of competition between various political forces and public opinion leaders from among civil activists. Attempts to create a unified model of state identity, which different layers of citizens would accept, is actually doomed to failure. This study was funded by RFBR and EISR; the research project № 19-011-31616 "State policy in the field of identity formation: conceptual foundations, technologies and prospects".
