Legal Counterrevolution: Property and Judicial Power in the Weimar Republic

This article offers a new account of the rise of judicial power in modern Germany. Strong judicial control of the government is often associated with the constitutional ethos that emerged in postwar West Germany as a reaction to Nazi rule. This article locates the origins of German judicialization in the political struggles of the Weimar era. It shows how the assumption of a power to judicial review by Germany's highest court, the Reichsgericht, was the product of the successful cooperation of the judiciary with conservative political parties on the issue of property rights in the young republic. These were at the centre of two controversies examined in the article: the expropriation of princes of former ruling houses and the consequences of the hyperinflation of 1923. In both cases the Reichsgericht used an understanding of property as an inalienable right to radically reinterpret Germany's first democratic constitution, which had in fact granted the legislature extensive power to modify property relations. This suited the judiciary's own objective of assuming stronger controls over legislative action and bolstered the political position of conservative forces in Weimar politics. What emerged was a supra-positive constitutionalism that sought to supersede the written constitution. These political realities were an essential context for theoretical debates on the extent and limits of judicial power between theorists such as Carl Schmitt, Hans Kelsen, Hermann Heller, Franz Neumann, and Ernst Fraenkel. An examination of the complex interaction of parliamentary, judicial, and popular politics concerning the issue of property reveals that German judicial empowerment amounted to an attempt to rewrite the Weimar Constitution and limit the scope of Germany's democratic revolution.

Competition between self- and other-regarding preferences in resolving social dilemmas

Evolutionary game theory assumes that individuals maximize their benefits when choosing strategies. However, an alternative perspective proposes that individuals seek to maximize the benefits of others. To explore the relationship between these perspectives, we develop a model where self- and other-regarding preferences compete in public goods games. We find that other-regarding preferences are more effective in promoting cooperation, even when self-regarding preferences are more productive. Cooperators with different preferences can coexist in a new phase where two classic solutions invade each other, resulting in a dynamical equilibrium. As a consequence, a lower productivity of self-regarding cooperation can provide a higher cooperation level. Our results, which are also valid in a well-mixed population, may explain why other-regarding preferences could be a viable and frequently observed attitude in human society.

Pacifying the Battlefield of Industry: Warfare and Social Rights in 1848 France

Abstract This study delves into the intricate relationship between warfare and social rights during the Second French Republic. As recent scholarship suggests that the emergence of social rights in the 18th century involved a transition from Christian charity principles to secular obligations, primarily influenced by proponents of free markets, this research uncovers a distinct path during the July Monarchy. Here, socialists framed social rights using a unique language centered on warfare, which was overtly at odds with the prevailing free-market discourse. This transformation led to the concept of “guerre industrielle” or industrial warfare, portraying industrial workers as modern soldiers in the international economic competition among nations. Such a narrative significantly molded the political demands of the emerging French working class, focusing on securing decent employment and extending to workers the social provisions already granted to the military. These demands gained substantial momentum during the tumultuous 1848 Revolution, fueling a call for comprehensive societal transformation, emphasizing cooperative production and mutual assistance. Nevertheless, the rejection of these radical ideas was primarily attributed to the reluctance of moderate republicans to embrace the profound societal changes implied by such demands. By delving into the intricacies of this relationship, the article offers fresh insights into the development of social rights before the emergence of the Welfare State and their impact on the construction of tools of socioeconomic governance during the last two centuries.

Cooperative production of monophenolic chemicals and carbon adsorption materials from cascade pyrolysis of acid hydrolysis lignin

A novel cascade pyrolysis upgrading process for acid hydrolysis lignin (AHL), consisting of pyrolysis, catalytic upgrading of pyrolysis vapors, and pyrolysis char, was developed to improve the yield of value-added products (monophenolic chemicals and carbon materials). Pyrolysis of AHL at 450 °C and subsequent catalytic upgrading of pyrolysis vapors over Ni/H-ZSM-5 boosted the concentration of monophenolic chemicals in pyrolysis liquids by 58%. The carbon material prepared from pyrolysis char using KOH as activating agent exhibited a large specific surface area of 2902.5 m2/g and a large total pore volume of 1.45 cm3/g, thus affording good adsorption capacity for methylene blue (824.87 mg/g) and iodine (2333.17 mg/g). Moreover, the cascade pyrolysis upgrading of AHL achieved a yield of 68.52% desired products, which was much higher than the reported results (single production of monophenols and pyrolysis char). In summary, this work provides a potential reference for efficient utilization of lignin in large-scale applications.

THE EFFECT OF GRANT STATE FUNDING ON PRODUCTIVITY ON THE EXAMPLE OF COOPERATIVES IN THE SOUTH-EAST REGION OF BULGARIA

The need for state intervention in the agricultural sector is partially explained by the predominantly low incomes realized by agricultural producers. The resources available to them are not sufficient for their full functioning in the market. This leads to the cooperation of individual agricultural producers. Cooperatives are one of the most widely applicable forms of business organization in the agricultural sector. It is believed that their participation in agriculture improves the well-being of a large part of the agricultural producers, and this leads to the overall improvement of the state of the sector. For this, the present study is aimed at investigating the influence of the state on agricultural cooperatives. And more specifically, the purpose of this report is to prove the positive effect of state grant funding on productivity, using the example of agricultural cooperatives in the the South-east region of Bulgaria. In this report, the empirical research is carried out on the basis of panel data for a five-year period (2017-2021). The number of investigated agricultural cooperatives is 79. The applied model in the empirical study is the regression model with fixed effects. Based on the obtained results, this report also proves the positive effect of innovation activity. The more financial resources the agricultural cooperatives allocate for innovation, the higher productivity they realize. Investing in the purchase of fixed tangible assets is proven to have an impact on the productivity of agricultural cooperatives. Also, on the basis of the obtained results, it can be argued that the larger agricultural cooperatives invest more financial resources compared to the smaller ones, therefore their realized productivity is lower. Key words: state grant funding, productivity, cooperatives, agricultural sector. JEL: Q12, Q13, Q14.

Effects of flood‐induced financial stress on the viability of a cooperative production system and its farmers: A multilevel study

AbstractFloods can severely disrupt agricultural activities. When these activities are part of production chains, domino effects can occur. We use agent‐based modeling to simulate the production dynamics of a French cooperative winery as an example of a production chain, adopting a dual individual‐collective perspective. The cash‐flow analysis shows that there are nonexplicit mechanisms in the cooperative organization that allow the propagation of flood impacts throughout the chain and influence the winegrowers' ability to cope, thus threatening the continuity of the winegrowers' activity and the cooperative winery itself.

Cooperative Product Games

A cooperative product game is a transferable utility game defined by associating the product of given players’ coefficient to coalitions. This idea has been introduced by Rosales, D. ([2014] Cooperative product games, unpublished mimeo, www.academia.edu/40176429) where he investigates the core. Here, we analyze a corrected definition of a product game and cover the Shapley value to which we provide an axiomatic foundation.

The Impact of Computerized Systems on Efficiency and Productivity of Cooperatives in Rwanda. A Case Study of Cooperative Management System (CMS) Software Developed by MNK Digital Group Ltd

This research analyzed “Project design and implementation of cooperative management system (CMS) software and its impact on the efficiency and productivity of cooperatives in Rwanda” on 146 cooperatives using Cooperative Management System (CMS) across 19 districts of 4 Provinces of Rwanda (Eastern, Western, Northern, and Southern). The study used a sample of 750 respondents including 730 cooperative members from a total population of 61,320 members of 146 cooperatives plus 19 District Cooperatives Officers and 1 Director of Cooperatives Promotion and Capacity Building Unit in Rwanda Cooperative Agency (RCA). A questionnaire designed in form of five levels Likert scale was used and data was collected and analyzed through KoBo Toolbox and SPSS. The results of descriptive statistics showed that overall appreciation of CMS by cooperatives managers is “Good” (x̄= 3.8; σ = .270). The regression results revealed that CMS Membership management module was positive and significant to Cooperative productivity and efficiency (β1= 0.049; p< 0.05); CMS Payments management module was positive and significant to Cooperative productivity and efficiency (β2= 0.258; p< 0.05); Accounting management module was positive and significant to Cooperative productivity and efficiency (β3= 0.242; p< 0.05); CMS Human resource management module was positive and significant to Cooperative productivity and efficiency (β4= 0.016; p< 0.05); CMS Requisitioning management module was positive and significant to Cooperative productivity and efficiency (β5= 0.020; p< 0.05); CMS Credit management module was positive and significant to Cooperative productivity and efficiency (β6= 0.206; p< 0.05). The coefficient of determination R-squared value for this study is 0.705 (r > 0.7) indicating strong effect size. It shows how that the model fits the data at strong extent. These results indicate that 70.5% of variance in dependent variable was explained by independent variables meaning that 70.5% of change in Cooperative productivity and efficiency come from CMSMembMgtMod, CMSPayMgtMod, CMSAccMgtMod, CMSHrMgtMod, CMSRequisMgtMod, CMSCreditMgtMod. The main CMS challenges outline by the respondents include CMS is not free and requires additional installation and maintenance fees (x̄= 5.0; σ =.000); CMS requires advanced education level (x̄= 4.3; σ =.080); CMS has issue of confidentiality of the data managed by the government which hosts the CMS system (x̄= 5.0; σ =.000); CMS use requires additional cost for internet (x̄= 4.1; σ =.351). Proposed solutions are: Support from the RCA on installation cost and the cooperatives should cover maintenance costs(x̄= 4.8; σ =.070); More training on even members with good primary education on the use of CMS (x̄= 4.3; σ =.380); Confederations should play important role in the management of CMS and the role of the government should be reduced (x̄= 4.9; σ =.290); The government should reduce the cost of internet (x̄= 4.7; σ =.151); More capacity building for cooperative managers.

PELATIHAN DAN PENDAMPINGAN IMPLEMENTASI PRODUK LEMBAGA KEUANGAN SYARIAH DI KOPERASI SYARIAH NASARI

The problems faced by Islamic cooperatives are the lack of interest in Islamic cooperatives which results in the difficulty of developing cooperatives and capital problems. In addition, cooperative members have difficulty in understanding the products available in NASARI Islamic cooperatives because so far members of Islamic cooperatives are more familiar with conventional cooperative financial products. The issue of adding capital to Islamic cooperatives, where members object to increasing principal savings, is also an issue in the development of Islamic cooperatives. Supported by the lack of human resources handling sharia products because so far they have only handled cooperative products that use conventional systems. Training and mentoring activities for the implementation of Islamic financial institution products, Islamic nasari cooperatives are expected to be able to help Islamic cooperatives to develop better and become a solution to the problems faced.

The Bohemian Confession of 1575: Towards an Archaeology of the Czech Reformation

ABSTRACT In 1575, the evangelical estates of the Czech lands presented their king, Maxilimian II, with an irenic confession of faith. This document was the product of cooperation among the Czech Utraquists, Lutherans, and the Unity of Brethren, and its composition entailed theological and ecclesiological negotiations among all three parties. This article excavates the sources for the confession of 1575 in order to examine the long history of religious negotiation and pragmatic toleration that characterized the Bohemian reformation. In doing so, it seeks to illuminate an alternative trajectory of reform in east-central Europe that cuts against the grain of the confessionalization paradigm that has featured centrally in reformation scholarship for the past four decades. This alternative conception of reform accepted religious co-existence and prized the extended search for theological common ground, rather than exclusivist truth claims, and created a framework for toleration.
