This chapter sets out the analytical framework of ‘internationalized statism’ developed and applied in the book. Although the West is said to be living in an age of internationalized ‘economic (neo-)liberalism’, where capital flows have been liberalized, a ‘new statist’ literature argues that the role of the state has not declined as it adapts and finds novel instruments and forms of action to govern economies. Building on new statist studies, the chapter introduces the concept of ‘internationalized statism’: policies to use foreign states to govern domestic economies. It develops the concept, notably by distinguishing between the extent and form of internationalized statism. It underlines that whilst most political economy studies have focused on private international capital flows, states themselves can use liberalization of financial markets to cross borders, offering new opportunities for policy makers in recipient states to find allies and resources for economic governance Policies towards equity investments bynon-Western Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) offer an empirically and theoretically important example of internationalized statism: SWFs are large and growing; most SWFs are in non-democratic countries; equity purchases offer the potential for overseas influence or control over companies. The chapter then sets out the book’s research design: four country case studies are chosen because of variations in different relevant explanatory factors. It concludes that the concept of internationalized statism contributes to understanding how national policy makers use state economic internationalization to govern their domestic economies.

SummaryTheme conflicts of interest is one of the major reasons for concern local government, regional and central administrative and criminal legal implications aiming to uphold the integrity and decisions objectively. Also, most obviously, conflicts of interest occur at the national level where political stakes are usually highest, one of the determining factors of this segment being the changing role of the state itself, which creates opportunities for individual gain through its transformations.

The author of the publication reviews the photobook “Palimpsests”, published in 2018 in the publishing house “Ad Marginem Press” with the support of the Heinrich Böll Foundation. The book presents photos of post-Soviet cities taken by M. Sher. Preface, the author of which is the coordinator of the “Democracy” program of the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Russia N. Fatykhova, as well as articles by M. Trudolyubov and K. Bush, which accompany these photos, contain explanation of the peculiarities of urban space formation and patterns of its habitation in the Soviet Union times and in the post-Soviet period. The author of the publication highly appreciates the publication under review. Analyzing the photographic works of M. Sher and their interpretation undertaken in the articles, the author of the publication agrees with the main conclusions of N. Fatykhova, M. Trudolyubov and K. Bush with regards to the importance of the role of the state in the processes of urban development and urbanization in the Soviet and post-Soviet space, but points out that the second factor that has a key influence on these processes is ownership relations. The paper positively assesses the approach proposed by the authors of the photobook to the study of the post-Soviet city as an architectural and landscape palimpsest consisting mainly of two layers, “socialist” and “capitalist”. The author of the publication specifically emphasizes the importance of analyzing the archetypal component of this palimpsest, pointing out that the articles published in the reviewed book do not pay sufficient attention to this issue. Particular importance is attributed by the author to the issue of metageography of post-Soviet cities and meta-geographical approach to their exploration. Emphasizing that the urban palimpsest is a system of realities, each in turn including a multitude of ideas, meanings, symbols, and interpretations, the author points out that the photobook “Palimpsests” is actually an invitation to a scientific game with space, which should start a new direction in the study of post-Soviet urban space.
