The Green Climate Fund and private sector climate finance in the Global South
Speaker: Thomas Kalinowski, Ewha Womans University Seoul, Research Institute for Sustainability – Helmholtz Centre Potsdam
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) is the largest multilateral climate fund set up to finance climate mitigation and adaptation in the Global South. Mobilizing private climate finance for that purpose plays an important role in the GCF. Unfortunately, mobilizing private climate finance has proven to be difficult and comes with certain trade offs.

Monetary Architecture and the Green Transition
Steffen Murau, Global Climate Forum
How to finance the Green Transition towards net-zero carbon emissions remains an open question. The 'monetary architecture' framework, which perceives the monetary and financial system as a constantly evolving and historically specific hierarchical web of interlocking balance sheets, offers a novel perspective to address the systemic and procedural financing challenges.

Challenges of Fiscal and Monetary Policy in the European Monetary Union during and after the Covid-19-Crisis
The European Monetary Union (EMU) had not completely recovered from the Great Financial Crisis and Great Recession in 2008/2009 as well as from the following Eurozone crisis when the Covid pandemic hit Europe. Monetary and fiscal policy under the pandemic were extremely challenged. The zero interest rate and unconventional monetary policies are under increasing attack. Fiscal rules in the EMU and Germany were relaxed, but the re-establishment of the debt brake in Germany is planned. These topics are discussed by Achim Truger (Prof. at University of Duisburg-Essen, Member of German Council of Economic Experts) and Hansjörg Herr (Prof. em. at Berlin School of Economics and Law).
Panelists:
Towards a better fiscal policy in the EU and Germany: Opportunities and Obstacles

This IPE Political Economy Forum will focus on the issue of institutional change in the judiciary and its authoritarian implications in the US as well as in Europe. One rather little known implication of the Trump regime has been the concerted effort to seat judicial appointees of very conservative persuasion on the lower courts. It is not just the supreme court which has changed the face of justice. As of September, the Senate has confirmed 218 judges nominated by Trump - 53 of these are Appeals Court Judges and 161 are District court judges – all appointed. Amy Coney Barret comes from the Appeals bench and there are far reaching implications of these appointments – perhaps even more than the two supreme court justices. This is also symptomatic of a wider issue in the shift of institutions in the US and in Europe i.e., Turkey, Poland (where it has been recently also a matter of much media attention), and Hungary.

Political Economy Forum
The concept of an imperial mode of living aims to understand the environmental crisis as well as the prospects for a socio-ecological transformation from the perspective of a theory of hegemony. The imperial mode of living implies patterns of production and consumption that rely on the unlimited appropriation of resources, a disproportionate claim to ecosystems, and the appropriation and exploitation of labour power on a global scale. Its generalisation in the societies of the global North after the Second World War and its more recent spread to the emerging economies of the global South is a major driver of climate change and other crisis phenomena. The Political Economy Forum will introduce the imperial mode of living concept, reflect on current crises from this perspective and discuss alternatives in society-nature relations.

An der HWR gibt es hin und wieder den Vorwurf, Lehrende würden nicht „ideologiefrei“ unterrichten. Doch was ist eine Ideologie eigentlich und wie sähe eine „ideologiefreie“ Lehre aus? Das erläutert zunächst ein Referent aus der politischen Bildung. Wie gesellschaftlich umstrittene Themen in der wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Lehre vermittelt werden können, wird anschließend eine Referentin aus der VWL skizzieren. Auf dieser Grundlage möchten wir dann gerne gemeinsam mit Studierenden und Lehrenden weiterdiskutieren.
Eine Veranstaltung in Kooperation mit der Reformfraktion und dem Sozial-Ökologischen Bündnis der HWR.

Political Economy Forum
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Éric Pineault, L'Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), Fellow at DFG-Kolleg Postwachstumsgesellschaften, Friedrich-Schiller-Universität Jena
It could be called the “post-growth” condition. Whether it’s because of climate change, or of secular stagnation, it would seem that advanced capitalist societies cannot have the growth they would need for their continued stability. From the mid 20th century onwards the political conflicts and economic contradictions of advanced capitalism have been mitigated by what Alan Schnaiberg called the “unpolitics of expansion”, the post growth condition refers to an unravelling of this stabilizing mechanism. Distributional conflicts and zero sum international economic relations are once again prominent problems in advanced capitalist societies. In his presentation Eric Pineault moves beyond an analysis of post growth as a conjuncture and explores the nature of growth in advanced capitalist societies using the tools and concepts of social ecology and of critical political economy. If growth has been able to mitigate to some degree the internal contradictions of capitalist accumulation, it is today incapable of surmounting on its own terms its external contradictions - the contradictions of social reproduction, of ecology and of unsustainable global international inequalities.

Finanzkrise, Klimawandel und digitale Revolution: Die Welt befindet sich im Umbruch, doch in den Seminarräumen gilt business as usual? Die wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Lehre wird von verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Akteuren kritisiert - nicht nur in Deutschland. Sie sei realitätsfremd und einseitig. Braucht es deshalb mehr Pluralismus in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften, also eine Vielfalt der Disziplinen, der Perspektiven und Methoden?
Welche Kompetenzen soll das wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Studium heute vermitteln, damit die Studierenden gut vorbereitet sind für das Leben nach der Hochschule? Ist die HWR gut für die zukünftigen Herausforderungen aufgestellt und was ist noch zu verbessern?
Eine Veranstaltung in Kooperation mit der Reform-Fraktion und dem Sozial-Ökologischen Bündnis der HWR.

Angesichts von wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und ökologischen Krisen in Europa, die nicht an den Landesgrenzen halt machen, sowie zunehmend auch militärischen Konflikten in der Welt wird die Entwicklung von Perspektiven und Strategien für ein solidarisches Europa immer dringlicher. Wie diese aussehen könnten und für welche progressive Utopie von Europa es sich zu kämpfen lohnt, darüber diskutieren Gesine Schwan, Gregor Gysi und Achim Truger. Was sind Entwicklungstendenzen, Chancen und Gefahren für die europäische Integration beispielsweise mit Blick auf den Brexit, die Macron-Initiativen und ein verändertes internationales Umfeld? Quo vadis EU und Euroraum, und wie lässt sich die neoliberale Ausrichtung der EU kritisieren, ohne dabei die europäische Integration selbst in Frage zu stellen? Inwieweit ist gerade die Überwindung von Neoliberalismus und Austeritätspolitik eine Voraussetzung für die Rettung der EU? Wie könnten fortschrittliche Kräfte mit einer solchen Kritik wieder in die Offensive kommen? Die Perspektiven einer fortschrittlichen europäischen Integration sollen zur Debatte gestellt werden, auch unter Einbeziehung des Publikums.

Moderation:
- Prof. Dr. Achim Truger, IPE/HWR
The strikingly low tax payments of individual multinational enterprises revealed by the Luxembourg Leaks and other journalistic investigations have shed serious doubts on the effectiveness of the international corporate tax system. It seems that aggressive tax competition strategies have led to a situation in which multinational enterprises can minimize their tax payments to the detriment of public financial interests or at the cost of other taxpayers. Despite increased international cooperation efforts, the tax avoidance business still seems to flourish even in EU member states. The IPE invites Fabio De Masi and Sarah Godar to discuss: How serious is the problem of corporate profit shifting in terms of public revenue losses? What countermeasures have been taken at the national and international level? What remains to be done and what are the main obstacles to reform in the EU?
Date and Time: Thursday, January 24th 2019, 4 p.m.

The Political Economy Forum „Inside China’s Automobile Factories: The Politics of Labor and Worker Resistance“ with Prof. Lu Zhang from Temple University Philadelphia, planned for Friday, November 30, is cancelled. We plan to reinvite Lu Zhang in 2019 and keep you informed.
Luxemburg Lecture
Topic: "Inside China’s Automobile Factories: The Politics of Labor and Worker Resistance"
Speaker: Prof. Lu Zhang PhD, Temple University, Philadelphia
Moderation: Prof. Dr. Markus Wissen, IPE at the HWR Berlin
China is the world’s largest and fastest-growing automobile manufacturing nation. In her lecture, Lu Zhang will discuss the current conditions, subjectivity, and collective actions of autoworkers, based on years of fieldwork conducted at major auto factories in various regions of China. She will provide an inside look at the daily factory life of autoworkers and a deeper understanding of the roots of rising labour conflicts in China’s automotive industry. Combining empirical data and world-system analysis that moves from the shop floor to national political economy and global industry dynamics, Dr. Zhang will shed light on how labour conflicts in the automotive industry and broader social economy can be expected to develop, both within China and globally.
Lu Zhang is an Associate Professor of Sociology and Global Studies at Temple University, Philadelphia. Her research concentrates on labor and labor movements, globalization, development, and the political economy of China. She is the author of the award-winning book, Inside China’s Automobile Factories: The Politics of Labor and Worker Resistance (Cambridge University Press, 2015). She is currently working on her second book, which explores how the movements of capital interact with labor politics and local development through a comparative case study of the global electronics industry from China’s coastal region to its interior and to Vietnam.

Silke Bothfeld, political scientist and Professor at the University of Applied Sciences Bremen
Karl Brenke, economist at the DIW Berlin (German Institute for Economic Research)
The discussion will be moderated by the journalist John Goetz, the NDR-editor for investigations at ARD-Hauptstadtstudio (Berlin) and a member of the investigative team at the Süddeutsche Zeitung.

Die Veranstaltung fand in englischer Sprache statt.
The 25 April 2017, IPE invited Pasquale Tridico discuss foundations of and approaches to income inequality in the age of financialisation. We were delighted to welcome the professor of Labour economics and coordinator of two distinguished Master programs at Roma Tre University, Italy, who presented his new book Inequality in Financial Capitalism (2017). Examining empirical evidence for major advanced economies from the 1980s onwards, Tridico finds that increased inequality is a consequence of financialisation, due to which labour and welfare became a cost rather than a benefit and aggregate demand has been structurally disregarded.
