Arno Tausch (born February 11, 1951 in Salzburg, Austria) is an Austrian political scientist. His research program is focused on world systems theory, development studies and dependency theory, European studies in the framework of core-periphery relationships, and quantitative Peace and conflict studies.[1]

Academic career[edit]

Tausch received his Ph.D. in political science from Salzburg University in 1976.[2] His habilitation at the Department of Political Science at Innsbruck University was concluded in 1988; the Chairperson of his habilitation commission was Professor Anton Pelinka. External reviewers included an external opinion submitted by Karl Wolfgang Deutsch of Harvard University.[3] Since then he has been adjunct professor (‘Universitätsdozent’) at that department.[4]

He recently became Visiting Professor of Political Studies and Governance at the University of the Free State in Bloemfontein, South Africa.[5] He was also an associate visiting professor of Economics at Corvinus University Budapest.[6] Tausch currently is a regular contributor to the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs in Israel.[7]

Tausch is a member of the editorial boards of several scientific journals, among them Innovation: The European Journal of Social Science Research,[8] Society and Economy, (Journal of the Corvinus University of Budapest),[9] and the Journal of Globalization Studies (State University, Moscow).[10] He also edits the History & Mathematics Almanac.[11]

Publications[edit]

As of June 2022, Tausch had authored or co-authored according to his CV on Academia.edu, 25 books in English, 2 in French, and 8 in German,[12] and a number of articles in English, Spanish, French, Russian, Polish and German in peer-reviewed scholarly journals and articles on current affairs.[13] He also has written articles for Die Presse, Der Standard, Die Furche, Teloscope and Wiener Zeitung [14]

Scholarly work[edit]

His research started with a rethinking of dependency theory in the framework of quantitative data and statistical analysis and work on poverty in the leading industrialized countries. His doctoral thesis at Salzburg University on "The limits to growth theory"[15] was dedicated to the empirical analysis of dependency, income inequality, and social development in up to 40 countries of the world, with country studies for Brazil and Yugoslavia.[16] Following the logic of trying to identify the structures, which block Third-World development in the industrialized countries, he then researched on Austrian arms exports to Third World countries, based on United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency figures.[17]

His habilitation thesis focused on multiple regression models of global development, based on data from the World Bank and Volker Bornschier as well as the World Handbook of Political and Social Indicators III, and tests the relevance of socio-liberal approaches to world development, already inherent in the writings of classical social democratic development theories in Europe in the 1930s with multiple regression and canonical correlation models.[18][19][20][21] This approach was continued and expanded in Socio-Liberal Theory of World Development (1993).[22][23] Later work dealt with Russia and the global Kondratieff cycle,[24][25] the effects of the arms trade on social development, especially for the countries of Eastern Europe and the former USSR.[26] Militarism will grow in these countries because of the distribution coalition prone environment of "periphery socialism". [27] In the 1990s, Tausch analyzed migration processes and the transformation of post-communist countries.[28][29]

Later work also included studies on social indicators of development, Anti-Americanism, child poverty,[30] Islamism, [31][32][33], Kondratieff cycles,[34] liberation theology, [35][36] pension reform,[37] contradictions of European Union development,[38][39] global Keynesianism and comparative price levels,[40][41] Islamophobia,[42] social expenditure[43] and Public Health research.[44]

In recent years, Tausch’s studies were debated in the fields of Bibliometry and Scientometry, environmental studies and studies on unequal exchange,[45][46] European Union studies,[47][48] research on globalization and the international political economy,[49] Middle East studies and studies about Muslims in Western countries [50][51] globalization studies, [52] in studies on Terrorism,[53] and in World Values Survey oriented research [54]

Critique[edit]

Although the concept of "unequal exchange", as developed by Kohler and Tausch[55] has become one of the standard definitions in "world system theory"[56] and in critical studies on globalization and sustainable development,[57] the Turkish economist Turan Subasat (Izmir University) criticized this concept by saying that international prices are formed in a complex manner and lower international prices for low income countries cannot simply be considered as evidence for unequal exchange.[58]


In a major review of the recent book by Solomon and Tausch on the Arab MENA Countries: Vulnerabilities and Constraints Against Democracy on the Eve of the Global COVID-19 Crisis [59] Idris Kassem wrote in Arabic for the Journal Al Jazeera Studies, 2022, 2, that

„ We believe that the importance of this book and its qualitative addition lies in its adoption of a multi-dimensional and multi-level approach in diagnosing the weaknesses and obstacles facing democracy in the region. We find it maintaining its thematic originality in the context of analyzing democracy issues in the Middle East and North Africa, especially with regard to the economy and its link to development, urbanization, poverty, employment, youth and the environment, not to mention intellectual arguments related to the state, its identity, construction and institutions, and issues of gender, globalization, sectarianism, religion and political Islam.“ [60]

Al Jazeera studies concludes that

"The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic constituted an additional factor motivating us to focus on the Arab countries in the Middle East and North Africa region, and to think about their issues and their multi-dimensional and multi-level problems. This book has succeeded in bringing the reader closer to the general context and the conditions that preceded the emergence of the pandemic, especially since it made the democratic issue the main reference for analyzing and dismantling the region's crises and monitoring its structural imbalances. (…) On the other hand, the research was not able to get rid of the stereotypical representations that remained closely associated with the Arab countries in the region, and this link between the geographical field and ready perceptions about culture, politics, history, religion, ethnic differentiation, religious privacy and social construction is not a matter of the day, but is part of an ancient orientalist culture transmitted by contemporary transformations and superiority Technological and technological change to a European/American supremacist centralism governed and directed by hegemony, control, and political, economic and strategic power. Research and studies centers and formal and informal structures of thinking and analysis have played pivotal roles in perpetuating advanced levels of stereotyping. And we consider that a major tool was employed in this framework, and it was not detailed in the chapters of the book, and it is related to external and foreign interference in all the affairs of the region and its states, both internally and externally."[60]
