Description of the research topic:
The 2008 global crisis brought about not only a huge increase in state aids but also curiously inconsistent changes in state ownership: asset sales by governments and purchases of private stocks rose sharply and simultaneously. These concurrent instances of nationalization and privatization, on a major scale in historical terms, deserve attention. The course examines why both now seem appropriate tools for crisis management in Europe and in the United States, and how they are related to thriving state aid. It also estimates the scale of changes after 2008, paying attention to mixed and “silent” forms of nationalization and privatization.
