Top incomes under finance-driven capitalism, 1990-2010: power resources and regulatory orders

This article examines the impact of financialisation on the income shares of the top 1% from 1990-2010, through a panel analysis of 14 OECD countries. Drawing together literatures stressing the dependence of income inequality on the structural bargaining power of capital relative to labour, and of the dependence of accumulation on underlying institutionalised modes of state regulation, it shows that financialisation has significantly enhanced top income shares net of underlying controls. Whilst the income shares of the top 1% appear responsive to variables typical of wider studies of personal income inequality, we emphasise distinctive mechanisms of top income growth linked to the rising dominance of financial instruments and actors, facilitated by a historically specific regulatory order. These conditions were key to the emergence of a state of ‘asymmetric bargaining’ which disproportionately enhanced the fortunes of the wealthy. Results thus emphasise the importance of class-biased power resources and underlying regulatory structures, as determinants both of income concentration and of the distribution of economic rewards beyond growth capacity alone.

The View from the Edge: The Proyecto Arqueológico Chihuahua (PAC) 1990 to 2010: An Overview

The work of the Proyecto Arqueológico Chihuahua (PAC) has played an integral role in defining the origins and characteristics of the Chihuahua culture area, also known as the Casas Grandes Regional System. PAC has developed a critical suite of radiocarbon dates for the southern zone, undertaken the first substantial investigations of the Viejo period (ca. A.D. 800textendash1200 or 1250) since the early 1960s, and added to knowledge of the southern Medio period (ca. A.D. 1250textendash1450). The project has also elucidated the chronology, settlement patterns, subsistence strategies, and technology for both periods. Results of our research indicate continuity between the Viejo period, characterized by small pithouse settlements, and the pueblo focused Medio period in the southern zone, with some poorly understood external influences from both western Mesoamerica to the south and the American Southwest to the north shaping events within the area.

An analysis of Child Care Policy and Practice in Barnardo’s Macedon and Sharonmore residential homes in Northern Ireland during the period 1952 – 1990, the period under investigation by the Inquiry.

Report to examine the nature and extent of any abuse in Barnardo’s Macedon and Sharonmore residential homes in Northern Ireland and to determine whether that abuse was caused or facilitated by failings on the part of Barnardo’s, and whether they were systemic in nature. Abuse and systemic failings as defined in the document published by the Inquiry in June 2013 “Definition of Abuse and Systemic Failings”.

Convergência regional na União Europeia: evidência para o período 1990-2001

Tendo em conta que um dos principais objectivos da União Europeia é a aproximação dos níveis de vida dos cidadãos europeus, este trabalho testa a hipótese de convergência entre as regiões NUTS II da União Europeia no período de 1990 a 2001, através da análise da dispersão e estimação de regressões “tipo Barro” que relacionam o crescimento com o nível de rendimento inicial e outras variáveis. Identifica os factores que explicam as diferenças regionais no produto per capita, produtividade e produto por pessoa com idade para trabalhar, mostrando as diferenças de resultados consoante a variável utilizada. Os resultados mostram a existência de convergência do produto per capita e do produto por trabalhador, mas não do produto por pessoa com idade para trabalhar, uma vez que a evolução da demografia tem-se mostrado favorável à redução das disparidades, mas o emprego não. Procura também avaliar se a eligibilidade das regiões como “objectivo 1”, no âmbito da política comunitária, permitiu um maior crescimento das mesmas. Encontra ainda evidência de convergência condicional entre as regiões da UE, com o dinamismo das regiões vizinhas a terem um impacto positivo na velocidade de convergência regional, mostrando-nos a importância do investimento em acessibilidades que tornem as regiões periféricas cada vez mais próximas dos grandes centros económicos.

Le rôle de l'éducation spécialisée brésilienne en temps d'inclusion application d'une méthode d'analyse de contenu aux politiques éducatives de 1990-2008

Ce mémoire est le résultat d'une étude descriptive et exploratoire sur le rôle de l'éducation spécialisée dans le contexte éducatif brésilien, qui favorise l'inclusion scolaire. Cette recherche présente les résultats d'une analyse des politiques éducatives depuis les années 90 concernant l'éducation spécialisée et l'inclusion scolaire au Brésil. La démarche ainsi entreprise procède à une analyse de contenu thématique réalisée sur un échantillon de six documents officiels. Au Brésil, on compte sur l'éducation spécialisée pour promouvoir l'inclusion scolaire. Mais, étant donné que le paradigme de l'éducation spécialisée est substantiellement différent de celui de l'inclusion scolaire, l'objectif premier de notre recherche a été de décrire et d'analyser les politiques éducatives concernant l'éducation spécialisée et l'inclusion scolaire au Brésil. Les résultats de notre analyse nous ont montré que l'inclusion a peu de chances de faire des progrès si des changements au plan des politiques éducatives ne sont pas effectués.
