The article demonstrates that by their very nature, the economic sanctions levelled by Western and other countries against Russia inevitably will create adverse economic effects for the rest of the global economy, too. That does not only pertain to exploding energy as well as commodity prices, creating a stagflationary setting in industrialised countries; it will probably also entail debt restructurings in emerging countries negatively affected by tightening financial conditions.

Comment from our editors:

Mohamed El-Erian is one of the most astute analysts of macroeconomic developments in the world economy. His differentiation between direct, blowback, spillover, and systemic negative consequences of Western sanctions against Russia made here is very helpful to discern what economic fallout will probably follow from this war short, medium and long-term throughout the global economy. Financial sanctions, after all, are weapons potentially creating massive collateral damage, too.

First historical instances of colonialism such as the crusades are revisited. Then a lengthy account of the colonial experience of the Spanish Kingdom in South America and of the British Empire in India is given. The Indian case is illustrated with large amounts of archival materials from a colonial administrator. There the workings of the colonial bureaucracy and law and its (positive) achievements as well as the ignorance and arrogance of the external rulers are demonstrated. After narrating the Indian independence to some depth some recent colonial wars (Algeria, Vietnam, Congo, Angola) are briefly examined. In the end, the impact of colonialism on current, i.e. 1970s, (economic) international relations is discussed. The general tenor is that colonialism is a dysfunctional system. Still, agency is mostly placed with the empire rather than with the ruled. 1977 Level: beginner The Age of Uncertainty Episode 4 The Colonial Idea John Kenneth Galbraith BBC, CBC, KCET and OECA Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) is a school of monetary and macroeconomic thought that focuses on the analysis of the monetary and credit system, and in particular on the question of credit creation by the state. 2020 Level: beginner Modern Monetary Theory Nathalie Freitag Exploring Economics Education policy seeks to ensure equality in access, equality within the classroom and in teaching- learning processes, and equality in outcomes. This course encourages students to assess and evaluate the extent to which these objectives are met in practice and the ways in which educational outcomes are shaped by, as well as alter, gendered social norms.
