Driving Through Neoliberalism : Finnish Truck Drivers Constructing Respectable Male Worker Subjectivities
2017
This chapter analyses how Finnish male truck drivers (re)produce themselves as respectable male workers in the face of the recent economic, technological and institutional transformations impacting the European haulage sector. The investigation is based on ethnographic data which are produced by riding along on assignments with ten male Finnish truck drivers in the period 2012–2016. The analysis shows how truck drivers’ independence and value in the work process has become challenged and how truckers experience being occupationally stigmatized. The study argues, however, that while economic restructuring undermines some components of traditional forms of working-class masculinity, masculine…
Crisis and restructuration in the Valencian metropolitan area
2015
En el presente artículo presentamos los resultados de un análisis de la estructura socioeconómica del Área Metropolitana de Valencia en 2011 que, en comparación a la existente en 2001, permite apreciar las tendencias recientes de reestructuración territorial. A continuación, se utiliza la tipología territorial hallada como patrón para el análisis de la dinámica reciente de la inversión industrial, una de las variables económicas que ha jugado un papel más importante en la formación del área metropolitana, y que desde distintas instancias viene siendo señalada como un factor estratégico de la recuperación económica. El análisis realizado muestra que, tanto en relación con la actividad indust…
Stochastic debt sustainability analysis for sovereigns and the scope for optimization modeling
2017
We argue that sovereign debt sustainability analysis must be augmented by stochastic correlated risk factors and a risk measure to capture tail effects. Crisis situations can thus be adequately specified and analyzed with sufficient accuracy to warrant the relevance of policy decisions. In this context there is significant scope for optimization modeling for both strategic planning and operational management. We discuss diverse aspects of the problem of debt sustainability and highlight modeling approaches that can be brought to bear on the problem. Results with the fictitious, but nor unrealistic, Kingdom of Atlantis, which is sinking under excessive debt, illustrate the proposed models.
The London Stock Exchange: Strategic Corporate Governance Restructuring After Demutualization
2014
International audience; This study uses the London Stock Exchange (LSE), forced to demutualize due to major changes in its business environment, notably due to increased competition and technological advances, as field experiment to study corporate governance restructuring to adapt to new market conditions. The LSE improved its financial situation after demutualization and is an example of successful corporate governance restructuring. The LSE significantly restructured the composition of its board of directors following demutualization. The number of exchange members on the LSE board decreased after demutualization while the number of independent directors increased, pointing to a more “mo…

Investor Protection in Times of Crisis of Financial Institutions in Spain in Light of EU Regulations
2016
The objective of this paper is to explore selected strategies of countering the financial crisis in Spain, with a special focus on the issue of investor protection. I will attempt to highlight good solutions and the most significant mistakes made in the struggle to tackle the crisis, based on comments provided by experts in the field - both scholars and practitioners. Owing to the great complexity of the subject, in this work I focus on aspects connected with the restructuring of Spanish banking institutions and with the deposit guarantee system, and I discuss the efforts to overcome the financial crisis in Spain within the context of new challenges to public law (especially in light of the…
Democracy in complex networks:political leaders and administrative professionals
2015
The core assumption in this chapter is that political actors and civil servants on the municipal level share in the common societal responsibility for the education and upbringing of the next generation. Using a filter of five core public-governance logics in the analysis of our data – the marketplace logic, the managerial, the public, the professional and the ethical –we find both similarities and differences between politicians and civil servants. We analyse how politicians and administrators are positioned in the system and how they develop their commitment to, and their competencies to take part in furthering, both a democratic education and an efficient and effective governance system,…

2020
The purpose of this article is to present scientiR c papers setting the development direction of social rehabilitation theory and practice in Poland. e presentation begins with the classic± theory of Czesław Czapów, the creator of the Warsaw school of social rehabilitation, because this theory has been used in practice and continues to inspire young generation researchers. Most space was devoted to cognitivist-oriented resocialization, using the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Dynamically developing social rehabilitation based on the paradigm of positivity was also presented, including the concept of resilience and the concept of creative resocialization, which postulate worki…
Deute públic i renda censalista al País Valencià en el segle XV. Una proposta d’interpretació
2018
L’emergència de la nova fiscalitat –de la Corona, de les ciutats i del regne– va ser, sens dubte, una de les grans transformacions polítiques i econòmiques del final de l’edat mitjana. Amb l’impost va aparèixer un deute públic consolidat que, en la Corona d’Aragó, es va desenvolupar mitjançant el censal, un instrument financer semblant a les rentes constituées franceses o les perpetual annuities angleses. A partir del cas del País Valencià, pot assajar-se una estimació del volum de rendes generat pel deute públic i de com es distribuïen des del punt de vista geogràfic i social. Així doncs, en aquest article s’estudia en quins nivells de la xarxa urbana es concentraven aquests recursos i qui…
