This chapter discusses changes in the classical public–private divide under the new conditions of globalization, new technologies, and public–private cooperation. General public law and the public–private divide have been crucial in the evolution of rule-of-law regimes and in the development of welfare and regulatory states. It is argued that vital developments within the state, and by increased internationalization and globalization, have contributed significantly to changes in the classical forms of public law. Some examples are further analysed: the expansion of markets and public regulation has led to closer and more intensive interactions between the corresponding spheres of law. Markets are increasingly used as mechanisms of regulation. The expansion of international and European economic law has been vital in the changing interface of public and private law. The regulation of the Internet and of new biotechnologies offers further examples of new forms of public law and changes in the public-private divide.Less

Wages in the transition economies of Eastern Europe have changed dramatically in the fifteen years since the collapse of central planning. Average wages tended to decline in the first few years of transition and to rise more recently. At the same time, the economies of the region have experienced massive organizational changes, most prominently large-scale privatization and opening to the global economy, including foreign direct investment. These rapid changes provide a useful context for investigating the relationship between firm ownership and the level of wages. This chapter explores the relationship between wage level and ownership using linked employer-employee data for Hungary. The data cover nearly every tax-paying entity of at least twenty employees in Hungary from 1986 to 2003, and include many more switches of ownership type than in previous research: nearly 1,000 involving foreign companies and nearly 3,500 involving state-owned corporations over the period.Less
