Download or read book Thailand at the Margins written by Jim Glassman and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2004-03-04 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jim Glassman addresses the role of the state in the industrial transformation of what was, before the economic crisis of 1997-98, one of Southeast Asia's fastest growing economies. Approaching this issue from a different angle to those dominating 1980s and 1990s debates about the role of states in East Asian growth, Glassman argues that the Thai state has been both proactive and interventionist in encouraging industrial transformation - contrary to what neo-liberals have asserted - but at the same time has not been a 'developmental' state of the sort championed by neo-Weberian analysts of East Asia. Analyzing the Cold War period, the period of the economic boom, as well as the economic crisis and its political aftershock, Thailand at the Margins recasts the story of the Thai state's post-World War II development performance by focusing on uneven industrialization and the interaction between internationalization and the transformation of Thai labour.

Book excerpt: After the Vietnam War, socialist governments ascended to power in all the countries of the former Indochina. In Laos, more than a decade of socialist reorganization was followed by economic liberalization in the late 1980s. Laotian women had traditionally sustained the household and local economy with their work in field, forest, and family, but political and economic changes markedly affected the context of rural women's prevailing sources of power and subordination. Socialist policies, for example, curtailed women's commercial activities while recognizing women's work in agriculture and child care.In this richly detailed volume, Carol Ireson draws on ten years of fieldwork and research to explore this metamorphosis among Laotian women. Throughout, she poses questions such as: What has happened to women's traditional sources of control over their own and others' activities since the 1975 socialist revolution? Have their traditional sources of power or autonomy expanded or contracted as changing conditions have allowed other groups to appropriate women's traditional resources and roles? Have the dramatic changes had different effects on rural women of differing ethnic backgrounds and varying economic means?Focusing on women from three major ethnic groups?the lowland Lao, the Khmu, and the Hmong?Ireson examines the different ways they have responded to political and economic changes. She shows us that the Laotian experience reveals in microcosm the processes of change toward specialization and integration of women's work into national and global economies and explains how this shift deeply affects women's lives.

Download or read book Farm Incomes Wealth and Agricultural Policy written by Berkeley Hill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2000: The central aim of the Common Agricultural Policy is to support the incomes of farmers, yet reliable information on the overall incomes of farmers and their households is scarce. In general, farmers in the EU are not a low-income or poor sector of society and much of the present CAP income support goes to those that are relatively well-off. This book, the 3rd edition to address these issues, has been updated and expanded to include: updated coverage of statistics and references; the major changes in methodology of income measurement flowing from the 1995 revision of the European System of Accounts; a critical examination of wealth and balance sheets for the agricultural industry as currently calculated; incorporation of material from Japan and countries in Central and Eastern Europe that are candidates for EU membership.

Download or read book Husbands at Home written by Jane Wheelock and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-31 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1990, Husbands at Home gives a clear picture of the relationship between the domestic and the formal economy. Who does the housework when men become unemployed? Is a true reversal of gender roles possible? Jane Wheelock discovered, despite sociologists’ expectations, that most men are willing to share domestic labour with their (still working) female partners. Wheelock uses her research among families in North East England, an area of acute unemployment in traditional male industries, as a basis for this panoramic study. She provides extensive, empirical, and theoretical coverage of the household economy, linking it with the process of regional and global restructuring. The study challenges the assumptions made by economists that households operate on the basis of economic rationality. Including both men and women in her analysis, Wheelock underlines the contradictions arising from the need to reconcile conflicts between self-respect, traditional patriarchal views, and the rationality imposed by the market. The book analyses the role of the state and benefit system in perpetuating gender ideologies, arguing that imaginative state policies could transform gender roles in a post-industrial society. This book will be useful to students in a variety of disciplines, including economics, sociology, and social policy, and will be a particular interest to those on women’s studies and regional studies courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After nearly a decade of prosperity, rural America entered the 1980s with its agricultural base facing a severe financial crisis. Land values, export markets and the general demand for agricultural commodities were declining while the levels of indebtedness reached during the 1970s were becoming increasingly difficult to manage. By the middle of the 1980s, the existence of a crisis was apparent in farm failure rates that had reached levels that had not occurred since the 1930s and in the fact that large numbers of agricultural banks were failing and agencies that provide loans to farmers and ranchers were experiencing unprecedented losses. Small towns in agriculturally dependent rural areas were losing businesses, populations and related services, and extremely high rates of socioemotional problems were noted among rural residents in agriculturally dependent areas of the nation.
