In the past ten to twenty years the global political economy picture has dramatically changed with the emergence of the economies of Brazil, Russia, India and, notably, China (BRICs) as big players and competitors of the advanced economies in the West and Eastern Asia. The book comparatively analyses institutional change in the BRICs.

This book examines the BRICs by analysing their institutional development, their main continuities and changes, and their differences. It provides a comparative analysis of the political economies of the BRICs, but also considers South Africa and Turkey. The contributors provide a systematic comparison of the state-economy and the capital-labour relationships and explore whether they liberalized or followed a specific trajectory. The book also addresses debates on the varieties of capitalism and explores whether the emerging economies fit into the dichotomous construction of liberal and coordinated capitalism or whether they require a more differentiated typological approach.

Moving away from rigid conceptions and the static classification of political economies as either liberal or coordinated and presenting a more open approach, The BRICs and Emerging Economies in Comparative Perspective will be vital reading for students and scholars of comparative political economy, international relations, capitalism, the BRICs, emerging markets and the role of the state in the economy.

Der Alttestamentler und Orientalist Karl Heinrich Graf (1815–1869) hat, obwohl ihm zeit seines Lebens ein akademisches Amt versagt blieb, durch seine bahnbrechenden Studien zur Pentateuchkritik im 19. Jahrhundert wesentlich zur Etablierung der mit Julius Wellhausen verbundenen „Neueren Urkundenhypothese“ beigetragen. Von seinem Lehrer Eduard Reuß in Straßburg angeregt, hat er der bis heute unangefochtenen Spätdatierung der priesterlichen Gesetze im Pentateuch zum Durchbruch verholfen und damit den Grund für ein neues Bild von der altisraelitischen Kultgeschichte gelegt. Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit, die auf eine Leipziger Habilitationsschrift des Verfassers aus dem Jahr 1970 zurückgeht, wird das wissenschaftliche Werk Grafs zum Alten Testament im Kontext seiner teils tragischen Biographie dargestellt und forschungsgeschichtlich gewürdigt. Der Herausgeber zieht in seiner Einleitung die Linie bis zur Gegenwart und fragt nach der heutigen Bedeutung der Graf''schen Erkenntnisse.
