Responsibility in home-school relations : Finnish parents' views
2014
Finnish parents' views on responsibility in the home–school relations were explored. Responsibility was here understood as responsibility over education and upbringing. The data consist of semi-structured interviews with 24 mothers and four fathers. In the home–school discourses, parents and teachers were often referred to as partners, and active parental involvement in school life was seen as a key to children's success. However, in some discourses teachers and parents were seen as polar opposites, e.g. teachers as experts — parents as laymen. Few references were made to children's responsibility.

The Contribution of the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights to the Protection of Indigenous Peoples’ Rights
2018
On the 26th May 2017, the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights rendered its first judgement on an indigenous peoples’ rights case, dealing with the forced eviction of the Ogieks, a Kenyan hunter-gatherer indigenous community of approximately 20.000 members, from their ancestral lands in the Mau Forest. The ruling, which has been extensively welcomed as a «huge victory» and a «landmark» for the protection of indigenous peoples’ rights in Africa, touches on many complex and sensitive issues concerning the situation of indigenous peoples all over the continent. The aim of the present contribution is to use the Ogiek decision to study the Court’s approach to indigenous peoples’ rights and…

Reforming the international financial and monetary system: from Keynes to Davidson and Stiglitz
2004
International audience; With the usual debates trumpeting the usual merits of fixed versus flexible exchange rates, or some various incarnations thereof, the authors draw attention to Keynes's original plan for an international clearing union. The paper takes a close look at Joseph Stiglitz's recent suggestions to deal with financial crises along with Paul Davidson's Keynes-Post Keynesian clearinghouse. In the former case, the analysis is left wanting: the author offers nothing more than simple solutions to a system in need of dramatic changes. On the other hand, Davidson's analysis of the current state of affairs requires more than mere "plumbing" and addresses the root causes of the crise…

Transitions out of unemployment: The role of social networks' topology and firms' recruitment strategies
2011
In this paper we study the effects of job contact networks on out-of-unemployment transitions. We find that social connections produce sizable increases in upward mobility from unemployment and, caeteris paribus, symmetric network topologies perform better than asymmetric ones. Furthermore, in scale-free networks the probability of transitions out of unemployment increases in the exponent of the power-law degree distribution, but its value is much lower than the one attainable in Poisson random networks. In addition, and most interestingly, these results strongly depends on the different hypotheses on the firms' recruitment strategy.
