Reforming America with a Russian Map: How the Russian Transition Influenced Contemporary Economics

( Chris Monday ) 한국외국어대학교 러시아연구소 2013 슬라브연구 Vol.29 No.4

이 논문은 1990년대 국가 주도로 전환되는 경제활동 경험이 거시경제 이론에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지를 보여준다. 미국의 경제 분석가들은 소련의 붕괴를 조직적인 개혁 패키지를 실행할 하나의 기회로 간주했다. 이 개혁자들에 따르면, 경제 개발은 아무렇게나 이루어지는 것이 아니다. 주식 시장이 아무렇게나 관리되지 않는 것처럼 말이다. 개발도상국들은 부패로 인해 많은 문제가 생겼지만, 이런 결점이 부패와 관련됐을 수도 있고 관련된 모형이 만들어졌을 수도 있다. 투자자들이 전문 투자가와 비전문 투자가들 사이에서 전략적으로 움직일 수 있게 되자, 사회 전문가들도 부패한 정치가와 무지한 사람들 사이에서 최선의 사회적 균형을 선택하기 위해 전략적으로 움직일 수 있게 되었다. 경제를 위기로부터 지키기 위해서 만든 엘리트 경제학자들의 개념들이 대공황이 그동안 있었던 기본 경제 개념에 반한 듯이 보였을 때 지지를 얻었다. This paper demonstrates how the experience of transforming state-dominated economies in the 1990s influenced macroeconomic theory. U.S. economic advisers viewed the Soviet collapse as an opportunity to conduct a coordinated package of reforms. According to these reformers, economic development does not happen spontaneously, just as the stock market is not governed by randomness. Developing societies are plagued by systemic corruption, but this defect can be accounted for and modeled. As the investor can maneuver between the smart money and ignorant traders to get ahead of wild swings, the social planer can move between corrupt politicians and a misinformed populace to select an optimal societal equilibrium. The notion that elite economists can get ahead of the noise to shepherd the economy out of crisis gained acceptance when the Great Recession seemed to discredit mainstream economics.

Who Rules Russia? The Power Elite of the Russian Federation

( Chris Monday ) 한국외국어대학교 러시아연구소 2011 슬라브연구 Vol.27 No.1

미하일 호도르콥스키(Khodorkovsky)의 새로운 신념은 푸틴이 수장인 FSB(연방보안국, 구 KGB)가 현재 러시아를 통제하고 있다는 것을 재확인해준다. 이 서류는 푸틴이 현재의 리더이며 수년간 이러한 지배가 계속될 것이라고 주장한다. 하지만 그의 권한은 획일적인 KGB식 스타일의 보안구조에 기초를 두고 있지 않다. 다만, 분산되어 있는 힘 있는 엘리트들 사이에 널리 합의된 산물이다. 사실, 이러한 엘리트 그룹은 지역 인사, 과두제집권층(oligarchs), 실로비키(siloviki), 지식 및 문화산업 등 다양한 그룹에서 나온다. 그들 각각은 러시아의 미래와 관련하여 다른 비전을 가지고 있고 푸틴은 그들의 관심과 현재 그들의 상태 유지를 위한 중요한 조정 역할을 충분히 하고 있다. 다른 공산주의 자들이나 기존 공산주의 국가들에서와 같이 러시아 엘리트는 급격히 유전적인 카스트제가 되어 가고 있다. The second conviction of Mikhail Khodorkovsky has appeared to reconfirm the view that the FSB (formerly the KGB) now control Russia-- with Putin as their chief. This paper argues that Putin indeed is Russia`s leading figure and will likely remain in charge for many years. But his authority is not based on a monolithic KGB-type security structure, but rather is the product of a broad consensus among various, dispersed power elites. In fact, it is because these elites are drawn from diverse groups-- the regional elite, the oligarchs, the siloviki, the knowledge and cultural industries-each of whom hold conflicting visions of Russia`s future, that Putin fulfills an essential role in coordinating their interests and maintaining order. Among other factors, bureaucratization led to the decline of the oligarchs. Owing to Russia`s communist heritage, bureaucratization has not led to a meritocracy, but rather to clientelism and familialism. As in other communist and former communist countries, the Russian elite is increasingly becoming a hereditary caste.

Nationality, Marxism, and the Intelligentsia: New Works by St. Petersburg Historians on St. Petersburg Intellectuals of the Early Twentieth Century

( Chris Monday ) 한국외국어대학교 러시아연구소 2011 슬라브연구 Vol.27 No.3

소련 시대에 역사학자들은 웅장한 힘에 의해 움직이는 역사에 관한 것만을 집중하도록 요구되었다. 이로 말미암아 그 시대에는 러시아 지식인에 대한 전기는 거의 찾아 볼 수 없었다. 그러나 지난 몇 년 동안 진동추의 방향은 반대 방향을 향해 나아가고 있다. 러시아 역사학자들이 지식인들의 전기에 점점 더 관심을 집중했기 때문이다. 이 글에서는 주목 받고 있는 몇몇 상트 페테르부르크 역사학자들에 의해 제공된 지성인들의 전기들을 조망해 보게 될 것이다. 이러한 전기들은 각각 그 시대에는 이름을 떨쳤지만, 지금의 거의 잊혀진 상트 페테르부르크의 반 볼셰비키 지식인들에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 20세기의 상트 페테르부르크는 지식인들이 왕성하게 활동하는 새로운 시기가 되었다. 그런 의미에서 이번에 언급하고자 하는 주제는 매우 중요한 의미를 갖고 있다. 많은 면에서 그곳은 포스트모던 도시(post-modern city)였다. 이러한 독특한 모더니티의 브랜드(Brand of Modernity)는 우리의 세계를 형성했다. 불행히도, 여기서 살펴보고자 하는 그들의 논문들은 널리 알려지지는 못했다. 단지 러시아 안에서나 몇몇 큰 학술 도서관에 가야만 그것들을 이용할 수 있다. During Soviet Times, academic historians were obliged to focus exclusively on the grand forces of history, so that few biographies of Russian intellectual figures were authored. Over the past several years, the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction: Russian historians have increasingly concentrated on intellectual biography. This article surveys intellectual biographies recently offered by several leading St. Petersburg historians. Each one of these books highlights a St. Petersburg, anti-Bolshevik intellectual, who, although famous in his own time, is largely forgotten today. This topic is important because Fin-de-Siecle St. Petersburg became an intellectual cauldron, a new Athens. It was in many ways the first "post-modern city." Its peculiar brand of modernity went on to shape our world. Unfortunately, the works reviewed here have not been widely circulated; they are available only within Russia or at major research libraries. As a consequence, they have received few reviews. In recent years, St. Petersburg historians have created a unique portrait of Russian intellectual history which is distinct from the approach favored by western scholars. Firstly, they have focused their efforts on archival research, often supplemented by the reminiscences of relatives and direct acquaintances. As opposed to their illustrious heirs, Kliuchevsky and Pokrovsky, today`s historians of St. Petersburg refuse to draw grand schemes. Secondly, by rejecting crude caricatures of "Russian" thought, they are able to better confront issues of nationality and modernity. As the works reviewed in this article well show, intellectuals in the Empire`s capital struggled with the concept of "oriental." Out of heterogeneous cultural traditions, they strove to forge Jewish, Ukrainian, and Belorussian identities in the context of-but distinct from-a "Russian" Empire.

Egocentric organ distribution: a compromise of moral duty

Osebor Ikechukwu Monday 대한이식학회 2020 Korean Journal of Transplantation Vol.34 No.3

Organ transplantation is one of the remarkable achievements of scientists in the 21st century. The rationale for organ transplantation is therapy for patients suffering from organ failure. This remarkable achievement of science is facing a challenge of organ shortage due egocentric organ distribution. Using the philosophical analysis method, we suggest that reciprocal altruism be integrated into the organ distribution pool to save candidates on the waiting list.

Efficient synthesis of bio-based activated carbon (AC) for catalytic systems: A green and sustainable approach

Tremendous efforts in developing sustainable processes for integrated production of value-addedproducts/chemicals and fuels in biorefineries increase through delicate designs towards sustainability. This review focuses on the synthesis of activated carbon (AC) from renewable precursors and itsutilisation in catalytic systems for a gentle and sustainable approach. Owing to the unique shape andporosity-controlled properties, these carbon materials could offer strong, active phase-supportinteractions, leading to unusual catalytic activities and selectivity in biomass upgrading. Porous carbonshave been developed and used as heterogeneous solid catalysts infine chemical and biofuels synthesis asa sustainable and economical alternative over homogeneous catalytic systems. This review revealed theAC's significance and potential as solid catalysts/supports in renewable feedstocks' valorisation. Theliterature showed that bio-derived activated carbon could be a promising and sustainable solid catalyst orsupport for producing biofuels/ value-added products with appreciable BET surface area (750 m2/g) andtotal pore volume (0.37 cm3/g). However, the surface area and pore volume vary with the treatment/nature of cellulose used as the precursor for AC production. Finally, the utilisation of these renewablefeedstocks/waste streams presents us with the avenues to realise sustainable synthesis through greenprocess and design for a sustainable future.
