abstract | A critique of radical - and by now mainstream - anti-immigrant populism in Europe without a systemic critique of capital and political economy is misleading in many respects.

ABSTRACT / What drives support for the central public demands of a Revolution (its master narrative) once the protesters win?

ABSTRACT / Especially after the 2008 crisis, the international use of the RMB has substantially increased. A body of literature in international political economy (IPE) has reemerged to discuss the determinants of currency internationalization. Within the IPE literature, the role of market-forces is usually much emphasized to the detriment of studies on the role of governmental actors. This article aims to fill this gap by arguing that Central Banks policies are very important, especially at early stages of currency internationalization.
