The paper treats the eco currency union project in West Africa and its implications for monetary policies against the backdrop of the international monetary order from a post-Keynesian perspective. The eco zone project envisions a common monetary union of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), i.e. the independent Western subzone of the CFA franc union, and the remaining non-CFA countries of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) with Nigeria and Ghana as the economically most important member states. The literature on the international currency hierarchy developed by Latin-American structuralists and the post-Keynesian Berlin School of thought focuses on the notion of a currency-specific liquidity premium that structurally determines the interest rate level in the corresponding currency areas. Based on this set of literature, we conduct a comparison between the liquidity premia of the Western CFA-franc, the Nigerian naira and the Ghanaian cedi to make conjectures about what implications a common ECOWAS currency union would have regarding monetary policy space. Being a non-pecuniary variable, the liquidity premium cannot be observed directly. We therefore approximate the liquidity premium by calculating differences in interest rates such as the central bank’s base rate, the coupon rate on T-bills and bonds and the interest rate spread between Eurobonds and bonds denominated in local currency. Besides, we use balance of payment data to identify external financial fragilities that might become a crucial factor for monetary policy due to an increasing financialisation in West African economies. We find that investors demand structurally higher yields on bonds originating in Ghana and Nigeria than in the CFA-franc zone. One could interpret this as the FA-franc conveying over a higher liquidity premium because it has to have lower yields rates to compensate for liquidity-differences to financial assets denominated in the US dollar or euro. However, another explanation is that expectations about the future developments of the cedi’s and naira’s exchange value by investors are more pessimistic in comparison to that of the CFA-franc. This is rooted in two major factors: Firstly, under the current arrangement, France still has leeway in monetary policy making and acts as exchange rate stabiliser by pushing for restrictive monetary policies and guaranteeing foreign exchange reserve provision. Secondly, the estimation of external financial fragility in the WAEMU, Nigeria and Ghana shows that the naira implies a greater risk of sudden devaluation compared to the Western CFA franc and the cedi due to Nigeria’s higher exposure to mobile liabilities vis-à-vis its asset endowments.

The West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) is a currency and customs union that is made up of the eight low-income countries Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo. Except for Guinea-Bissau, all member countries of the WAEMU have a shared history as former French colonies. The WAEMU's common currency, the CFA franc, is today pegged to the euro at a fixed exchange rate that is guaranteed by the French treasury. France’s influence on monetary policy issues of the WAEMU is still highly present and increasingly contested by political economists, and part of the member countries' civil society. These critics denounce the bilateral exchange rate arrangements as monetary colonialism that outlasted the political independence process from 1954 till 1960 and prevents the West African countries from implementing growth-oriented macroeconomic policies. The proponents of the fixed exchange-rate regime emphasize monetary stability in the form of relatively low inflation rates and a stable external value of the domestic currency. Indeed, the WAEMU zone has shown a remarkably long period of exchange rate stability for the past 30 years. This distinguishes it from Developing and Emerging Economies (DEE) in Latin American or Asian countries in the 1990s and early 2000s, which reacted to balance of payments crises with the introduction of floating exchange rate regimes. The present paper connects to that controversial debate and addresses the important research question if the argument of monetary stability holds considering the current development path of the WAEMU. More concretely, it contrasts the monetary union's resilience against the adverse effects of exchange rate volatility with international competitiveness and a long-term perspective on external debt. On the theoretical level, the study draws on the post-Keynesian liquidity preference theory to elaborate the exchange rate challenges that DEE with internationally integrated financial markets are confronted with. This approach highlights the hierarchical structure of the international monetary system and the resulting adverse implications for peripheral currency areas regarding monetary stability. Furthermore, monetary Keynesian economist have worked out the limitations of an exchange rate-based stabilization strategy arguing that it comes at the expense of losing international competitiveness and a rising international debtor position. These findings serve as a theoretical basis for studying the sustainability of the WAEMU's development path.

Das Jugendgerichtshilfebarometer 2022 präsentiert die Ergebnisse einer quantitativen Online-Institutionenbefragung der Jugendhilfen im Strafverfahren und legt damit empirische Daten für ein wichtiges Handlungsfeld der Jugendhilfe in Deutschland vor. Beantwortet werden u.a. folgende Fragen: Wie ist die Jugendhilfe im Strafverfahren organisiert? Wie werden die Neuregelungen im Jugendgerichtsgesetz umgesetzt? Wie haben sich Angebotsstrukturen und Kooperationsbeziehungen im Kontext von Jugendstrafverfahren entwickelt und welche fachlichen Konsequenzen und Herausforderungen ergeben sich hieraus?

The study about Youth Services in Criminal Proceedings 2022, a quantitative online institutional survey of youth services in this field, provides empirical data for an important task of youth services in Germany. The following questions, e.g., are answered: How is youth services in criminal proceedings organised? How do they fulfil their tasks? Is the existing structure of youth services in the context of juvenile criminal proceedings sufficient? How are cooperative relationships with other institutions and professions developing? Is there any potential that has not yet been tapped? A special focus lies on the implementations of the reform in the Juvenile Courts Act of 2019, which transposed the EU directive 2016/800 on procedural safeguards for children who are suspects or accused persons in criminal proceedings. A review will be followed by professional consequences and challenges for professionals in the field of youth services in criminal proceedings.
