Download or read book Divisions and Solidarities written by Alison MacEwen Scott and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2005-08-04 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, class analysis has exaggerated the role of economic differentiation, particularly that of the informal economy, and has underestimated the degree of common consciousness amongst the `labouring class'. In Divisions and Solidarities, Alison MacEwen Scott examines class analysis and the inter-relationship between gender and class which creates a shared interest between men and women in some contexts and a divergence of interest in others. Using case studies of the urban population in Latin America, she presents a major critique of existing class theories and presents a new theoretical treatment on class formation, the orthodoxy of the informal economy, class consciousness and political participation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "En las últimas décadas, los sindicatos estadounidenses han alcanzado un poder y una responsabilidad sin precedentes. Al principio su desarrollo fue más lento que el de los sindicatos de muchos países europeos, a causa del carácter especial de la economía norteamericana. Tres grandes etapas, correspondientes a la evolución económica de los Estados Unidos, marcan el desarrollo de los sindicatos. La primera, que abarca la mayor parte de la historia del país, fue una era especialmente agrícola y de pequeña industria, en que había muy poca diferencia entre el capital y el trabajo. Las amplias oportunidades que gozaban las pequeñas inversiones y el trabajo independiente se mantuvieron mediante la escasez de población y el proceso de expansión de las áreas no colonizadas. Durante la segunda etapa, el trabajo se fue diferenciando progresivamente como un sector aparte. Un grupo de trabajadores cada vez más amplio y consciente, surgió en relación con el crecimiento de las grandes empresas. Sin embargo, las organizaciones sindicales continuaron teniendo una importancia relativamente pequeña, a causa de que muchos jornaleros no se consideraban como miembros de un grupo distinto, que necesitaba sindicatos que mantuviesen sus intereses, y porque los esfuerzos para organizarse tropezaban con serios obstáculos. La tercera etapa, que se extiende hasta el presente, ha sido un período de organización de los trabajadores, cada vez más intenso y triunfante. Los jornaleros se han sindicado, no tanto por 'conciencia de clase' (en el sentido marxista) como por aceptación de los básicos principios y costumbres norteamericanos de libre asociación y ayuda colectiva. Estas tres fases de la historia del trabajo no tienen límites exactos en el tiempo ni en la geografía". Witt Bowden.

Download or read book Negotiating Trade Liberalization in Argentina and Chile written by Andrea C. Bianculli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do international negotiations affect domestic politics? Starting in the 1990s, countries throughout Latin America embarked on many and simultaneous negotiations. On the shifting ground of widening and deepening trade agendas and diverse arenas, what factors determined trade politics? This book examines the domestic political dynamics triggered by South-South, North-South and multilateral agendas in Argentina and Chile between 1990 and 2005. Using a much-needed cross-negotiation and cross-country comparative perspectives, and through detailed empirical analyses of several key negotiations, it proposes an explanation that emphasizes the interplay between international negotiations and domestic trade politics, taken as the result of the complex and dynamic interdependencies and interrelations between state and society. Informed by interviews with public officials, businesses and civil society, the analysis reveals that variation in the depth of agendas, the distributional effects and the uncertainty of political outcomes all have important consequences for domestic preference formation, collective action strategies and types of relationships. Given this, the variety of negotiations, when considered separately and comparatively, show that South-South, North-South and multilateral processes promote different patterns of trade politics. In sum, although national specificities and historical legacies are important, the book argues that trade policy comes first in creating domestic politics in Latin America.

Download or read book Anarchism and Syndicalism in the Colonial and Postcolonial World 1870 1940 written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-11-11 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narratives of anarchist and syndicalist history during the era of the first globalization and imperialism (1870-1930) have overwhelmingly been constructed around a Western European tradition centered on discrete national cases. This parochial perspective typically ignores transnational connections and the contemporaneous existence of large and influential libertarian movements in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Yet anarchism and syndicalism, from their very inception at the First International, were conceived and developed as international movements. By focusing on the neglected cases of the colonial and postcolonial world, this volume underscores the worldwide dimension of these movements and their centrality in anti-colonial and anti-imperialist struggles. Drawing on in-depth historical analyses of the ideology, structure, and praxis of anarchism/syndicalism, it also provides fresh perspectives and lessons for those interested in understanding their resurgence today. Contributors are Luigi Biondi, Arif Dirlik, Anthony Gorman, Steven Hirsch, Dongyoun Hwang, Geoffroy de Laforcade, Emmet O'Connor, Kirk Shaffer, Aleksandr Shubin, Edilene Toledo, and Lucien van der Walt. With a foreword by Benedict Anderson.

Book excerpt: The idea of finding a 'third way' in politics has been widely discussed over recent months - not only in the UK, but in the US, Continental Europe and Latin America. But what is the third way? Supporters of the notion haven't been able to agree, and critics deny the possibility altogether. Anthony Giddens shows that developing a third way is not only a possibility but a necessity in modern politics.
Download or read book Nomadic Subjects written by Rosi Braidotti and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-24 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than fifteen years, Nomadic Subjects has guided discourse in continental philosophy and feminist theory, exploring the constitution of contemporary subjectivity, especially the concept of difference within European philosophy and political theory. Rosi Braidotti's creative style vividly renders a productive crisis of modernity. From a feminist perspective, she recasts embodiment, sexual difference, and complex concepts through relations to technology, historical events, and popular culture. This thoroughly revised and expanded edition retains all but two of Braidotti's original essays, including her investigations into epistemology's relation to the "woman question;" feminism and biomedical ethics; European feminism; and the possible relations between American feminism and European politics and philosophy. A new piece integrates Deleuze and Guattari's concept of the "becoming-minoritarian" more deeply into modern democratic thought, and a chapter on methodology explains Braidotti's methods while engaging with her critics. A new introduction muses on Braidotti's provocative legacy.
