Clash of Totalitarian Titans: Nazi Germany, The Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and the Racial and Ideological War of Annihilation on the Eastern Front
Get PDFThe eastern front in the Second World War was one of unparalleled ferocity and brutality unseen on any other front during civilization’s largest and most destructive war. This work contends that in order to understand how the eastern front was such can only be understood through the lens of Nazi ideology and its long-terms goals for Lebensraum and the Greater Germany it sought to secure. The role of Nazi racial ideology and its belief in the inherent racial inferiority of the Slavic peoples of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, along with totalitarian ideology viewing Soviet Communism as Nazism’s chief totalitarian rival are crucial factors that explain the distinctly brutal characteristics of the eastern front. How these factors translated into Nazi policies and conduct on the eastern front must also be analyzed with the contextualization of understanding Nazi racial and totalitarian ideology. Specific themes such as the treatment of civilians, Soviet and Polish POWs, the Holocaust, indoctrination of individual soldiers in Nazi ideology, and sexual violence as a weapon of war will be analyzed to offer a better understanding of the eastern front in the Second World War. Its distinct brutality can only be explained by Nazi ideology and attitudes toward the Eastern European and Soviet regions
Regulating Greenhouse Gas Emissions by An Inter-Temporal Policy Mix: An Experimental Investigation
No full textEmissions taxes impose a fixed price on emissions, whereas under tradable permit schemes prices emerge in the secondary permit market. The delayed price discovery under tradable permits creates uncertainty about the future cost of compliance that liable emitters face. To mitigate this uncertainty, some jurisdictions have designed policies to regulate GHG with an emissions tax that is in force for several years, subsequently transforming into a tradable permit scheme. This paper examines the effects that this staged transition – from no regulation to a regulation by a tax, to a regulation by tradable permits – has on abatement investment, quantity of emissions, permit prices and overall regulation efficiency. The effects of the inter-temporal mix of policy instruments are compared to the effects of single policy instrument: a tax-only, and a tradable permit-only regulation. Our investigation relied on laboratory economics methods to test economic behaviour under these three policy regimes. We find that a staged transition from a tax to a tradable permit scheme results in more socially desirable outcomes on a range of criteria when compared to a regulation based solely on tradable permits, and specifically, it improves ability to make better abatement investment decisions
