This study challenges traditional rentier state theory and contributes to a new generation of scholarship focused on state-business relations by evaluating the relationship between different degrees of state policymaking autonomy and business elite influences in political and economic institutions. The findings of this study address central policy questions about economic reform in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. Using primary data from my case studies of Qatar and Kuwait, I posit two arguments. First, states with lesser business elite influence over political institutions have more autonomy to realise their economic reform goals; a less dominant and influential business elite circle will more likely submit to state-led economic reform initiatives. Greater business elite dominance, meanwhile, tends to create a powerful bloc undercutting economic change, such as labour reform or new regulatory frameworks, that would benefit the long-term stability of the state. Second, rentier states with higher degrees of state-led capitalism have more autonomy to conduct economic reforms; state-led capitalism produces more coherent and cohesive state apparatuses that can incentivize business elite cooperation.

This paper aims to conduct a preliminary re-evaluation of the claim made by the Government of Sarawak regarding its jurisdiction over oil and gas on the continental shelf. The basis of Sarawak's claim is rooted in the pre-Malaysia status quo of state territory, which was established through the Alteration of Boundaries of 1954. This proclamation extended the borders of the state to include the continental shelf adjacent to its coast, ensuring the state's rights to natural resources, including oil and natural gas. However, this research questions the legality of the 1954 law based on the context of legal history. It appears to be incompatible with the 1958 Geneva Convention on the High Seas and the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. These conventions provide the statutory basis for incorporating sea territorial waters beyond three nautical miles and designating Exclusive Economic Zones for specific nations. As such, obtaining jurisdiction over sea territorial waters was the responsibility of the federal government of Malaysia, which acted as the deemed signatory. The research will employ content analysis of relevant secondary sources, as well as selected historical and legal documents. By doing so, it hopes to bring clarity to the legal complexities in the historical context surrounding Sarawak's claim. The ultimate goal is to redefine the current dimension of the issue and seek an amicable solution to address the jurisdictional matter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Turkey's per capita income was nearly three times South Korea's in 1962. Dramatic change has been observed since then. South Korea has transformed into an innovative economy approaching the global technology frontier in only a few decades. Turkey, on the other hand, has attained limited success with missed opportunities and has fallen behind. This article asks why this spectacular success was observed in South Korea, but not in Turkey. It seeks an answer by concentrating on certain variables that may explain this outcome. Assuming that primarily different types and capacities of societies and states explain the variations in economic performance, the article examines in particular, the institutional foundations of Turkish and Korean societies.

O controle de constitucionalidade é um instrumento importante para a defesa das Constituições, bem como para retirada de leis inconstitucionais do ordenamento que possam vir a violar direitos fundamentais dos indivíduos. O controle de constitucionalidade judicial no Brasil funciona em dois níveis, federal e estadual, sendo o primeiro bastante explorado pela doutrina e pela jurisprudência, que já consolidou diversos conceitos e processos para seu exercício. Todavia, o controle concentrado de constitucionalidade judicial em âmbito estadual mostra-se disperso e muita das vezes assimétrico em relação aos textos federais, existindo em cada ente federado regras específicas para seu exercício, e até mesmo lacunas normativas que podem impedir seu processamento. Nesta perspectiva, é percebido a insuficiência de trabalhos mais incisivos que condensam ou analisam os documentos positivados de controle de constitucionalidade estadual, o que demonstra a fundamentalidade da pesquisa realizada. Assim, o presente trabalho volta-se a estes problemas, analisando constituições e regimentos internos dos tribunais de justiça em âmbito estadual, fontes bibliográficas e também jurisprudenciais, para posteriormente, apresentar um quadro comparativo e esquematizado dos sistema subnacionais, a fim de que se possa perceber também em que medida os entes federados estudados estão aptos para defender seus textos fundamentais e garantir na maior medida a efetividade de direitos fundamentais, retirando normas inconstitucionais do ordenamento jurídico por meio do controle concentrado judicial de constitucionalidade. De forma metodológica, optou-se, em um primeiro momento, por fazer uma contextualização a partir das construções teóricas acerca do controle de constitucionalidade no Brasil e as várias espécies existentes, com enfoque no controle concentrado. Em um segundo momento, realizou-se análise documental das constituições e regimentos, apresentando, posteriormente, quadro comparativo e as principais peculiaridades encontradas para ao final demonstrar os resultados alcançados na pesquisa, o que permitiu concluir que os estados em geral estão aptos a exercerem o controle concentrado de constitucionalidade, cada qual, com seus procedimentos e regras específicas. Constitutional control is an important instrument for the defense of Constitutions, as well as for the removal of unconstitutional laws from the legal system that may come to violate the fundamental rights of individuals. In Brazil, constitutional control works at the federal and state level, the former being extensively explored by legal literature and case law, which has already consolidated several concepts and processes for its exercise. However, the concentrated judicial review at state level is dispersed and often asymmetrical concerning federal texts, with each federated entity having specific rules for its exercise or even normative gaps that prevent its processing. In this perspective, the insufficiency of more incisive works that compress or analyze positive documents of state constitutional control can be seen, which demonstrates the fundamentality of the research being made. Therefore, the present work turns to these problems, analyzing constitutions and internal regiments of the courts of law at the state level, bibliographic and jurisprudence sources, later presenting a comparative and schematic board of the subnational systems, so that it can also be understood at what extent the studied federal entities are able to defend its fundamental texts and guarantee to the greatest extent the effectiveness of fundamental rights, removing unconstitutional rules from the legal system through concentrated constitutional control. Regarding the methodology, at first, it was chosen to contextualize from the theoretical constructs about constitutional control in Brazil and the many existent types, focusing on concentrated control. Secondly, it took place document analysis of constitutions and regiments, later presenting a comparative board and the main peculiarities found, finally demonstrating the results reached in the research.
