Critica alla cooperazione neoliberale. Resilienza e governance nelle politiche di aiuto allo sviluppo

2018

In uno scenario globale in cui si dà per scontato che rischi e pericoli vadano oltre le nostre possibilità di controllo, la resilienza entra in gioco, come una sorta di codice di condotta, per responsabilizzare stati fragili e individui vulnerabili, facendo leva sulle loro capacità di adattamento e di assorbimento del danno. L’adattamento è una delle virtù cardinali del neoliberalismo e costituisce il nucleo concettuale della significazione politica della resilienza. Gli individui devono fare fronte ai mutamenti che derivano da un sistema in continua trasformazione, nel quale agiscono senza alcuna rete di protezione, esercitando una logica adattiva che forgia le loro soggettività e le decli…

Five types of OECD healthcare systems: Empirical results of a deductive classification

2013

This article classifies 30 OECD healthcare systems according to a deductively generated typology by Rothgang and Wendt [1]. This typology distinguishes three core dimensions of the healthcare system: regulation, financing, and service provision, and three types of actors: state, societal, and private actors. We argue that there is a hierarchical relationship between the three dimensions, led by regulation, followed by financing and finally service provision, where the superior dimension restricts the nature of the subordinate dimensions. This hierarchy rule limits the number of theoretically plausible types to ten. To test our argument, we classify 30 OECD healthcare systems, mainly using O…

Finnish-Chinese intercultural negotiation : power positioning and search for common ground

2018

‘Rising China’ is a term that has come to refer to China’s march to being number one, the speed of its economic growth, and its investment around the world during last two decades. In Finland, government agencies have been established to promote investment, trade, and co-operation with China, while regional and local governments are also actively involved. Meanwhile, much of the world is now competing for the attention of China, so the power dynamic is tending to shift in favour of the Chinese. This developing context has been examined in previous studies primarily from the perspectives of politics, economics, and management studies. The overarching aim of this study is to investigate emerg…

Wpływ zasady cross compliance na kształtowanie nowej ekonomiki rolnictwa na przykładzie badań w regionie opolskim

2009

Na nową organizację rolnictwa w przestrzeni europejskiej szczególny wpływ mają zasady zreformowanej WPR: decoupling, cross compliance, modulacja, dyscyplina budżetowa. Centralne miejsce wśród tych zasad odgrywa zasada współzależności, która reguluje wewnętrzną organizację rolnictwa, pozostałe zasady dotyczą w większym stopniu jego relacji z otoczeniem (rynkowym, składowymi przestrzeni wiejskiej). Prezentowane w pracy wyniki badań przeprowadzonych w towarowych gospodarstwach rolnych regionu opolskiego potwierdzają wpływ zasady współzależności na decyzje produkcyjne rolników, które w coraz większym zakresie wynikają z wiedzy o zintegrowanych i precyzyjnych metodach zarządzania warsztatem prod…

Diverging meanings of CSR and corporate responsibility for human rights : comparative study on Finnish firms and civil society organizations

2016

The role and responsibility of business enterprises and their potential impacts to wider society has attracted attention both in public debate and academia. Hence, the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become a permanent part of the current discourse on business ethics. Firms of all size are increasingly engaging in CSR in order to respond the expectations directed to them by different stakeholders, including civil society organizations.

Hence prior re- search on CSR has identified a need to move from content-drive…

China-Finland Co-operation, Trade, and Investment: In Search of Common Ground

2015

The importance of co-operation with China has been growing in Finland and the rest of Europe in view of the rising global economic and political status of China and the interest in attracting Chinese investments. In Finland, government agencies have been established for this purpose, and regional and local governments are also actively involved. Delegation visits between China and Finland have been intensively on-going for some years, but matching interests and finding common ground for co-operation, trade and investment often still proves to be a challenging task. Based on interviews with Finnish representatives and on observing delegation visits, this paper explores the difficulties that …
