Impact of Global Economic Crisis on the European Welfare States
2013
The global economic crisis and the subsequent weaker growth are putting under pressure welfare states in the EU. This paper aims at discussing the effects of the crisis at the social level and at identifying whether the classic European welfare state models (Nordic, Continental, Anglo-Saxon and Mediterranean) are still valid in today’s economy. An answer will be tried using the mathematical tool of principal components analysis. The results will be observed in graphs where the states taken into consideration respect the classical welfare models or they regroup themselves into new circumstances’ adapted models. Even though the classical welfare models are generally still checked up with the …

Regímenes de bienestar y política social por otros medios: un marco analítico
2012
The article argues for the convenience of using the notion of welfare regime instead of welfare state, since it encompasses the welfare that is produced by the private actors. It offers concepts and categories, distinctions and dimensions that enable us to better think and talk about the different political-administrative choices we confront. It proposes, besides, the advantages of what is called the “social policy by other means”, which consists on the state backing and strengthening of the private sources of welfare by means of the tools of constriction, encouragement and persuasion, and through the prevention-preservation of certain institutions and practices that are good for the welfar…
The genetics of phenotypic plasticity in livestock in the era of climate change: a review
2020
Climate change has the potential to adversely affect the health of livestock, with consequences to animal welfare, greenhouse gas emissions, productivity, human health and livelihoods. Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of a genotype to produce different phenotypes, depending on environmental, biotic or abiotic conditions; it is a factor influencing and modifying the genes of animal and plant organisms, to adaptation to climate change. Among the various climate variables, heat stress has been reported to be the most detrimental factor to the economy of the livestock industry. There are a number of candidate genes that are associated with adaptation of ruminants, monogastric and poultry to…
Democracy at the end of the History
2013
This article analyzes the loss of legitimacy that the economic crisis brought upon representative democracy and the consequences that can be drawn for the thesis of the end of History. The thesis we defend here is that the deterioration of the welfare state, as a result, under very specific conditions, of the capitalism in certain parts of the world, runs parallel with the delegative degradation of democracy.

Choice Feminism and Adult Worker Model in Neoliberal Era. Some Effects of Inclusive Policies
2017
In the last decade, the adult work model has been invoked, both by the EU social reformers and at an international level, to orient their respective policies on feminine work and social inclusion at different levels. Such neoliberal model assumes that feminization of work implies treating women as autonomous individuals free to choose their carrier in the job market or to decide whether to work, to take care of their family or to find time and spaces to conciliate both. In the western legal tradition and policies, the ideological approach of separation between public and private sphere is still dominant, and care has been confined in a private space concealed within the family. At the same …
Calidad de la información contable y el acceso al endeudamiento en Bolívar (Accounting Quality and Debt Access in Bolivar)
2017
Spanish Abstract: El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar la relacion entre la calidad de la informacion contable y el acceso al endeudamiento en Bolivar, usando una muestra representativa de empresas no listadas en bolsa. Los resultados del estudio muestran que firmas con mayor calidad contable tienen en promedio mayor endeudamiento, pero esta mayor calidad no se ve reflejada en menores tasas de interes, lo que sugiere problemas de ineficiencia y de seleccion adversa en el mercado privado de deuda. English Abstract: In this paper we study the relationship between accounting quality and debt using a sample of non-listed companies in Bolivar, Colombia. We predict that companies with higher a…
