O niemożliwości zaistnienia kapitalistycznych rynków w szkolnictwie wyższym

Simon Marginson

Nauka i Szkolnictwo Wyższe > 2015 > 1(45) > 11-37

Przez ponad dwie dekady rządy na całym świecie, ukierunkowane na realizację polityki wywodzącej się z anglojęzycznej sfery politycznej, dostosowywały podległe sobie systemy szkolnictwa wyższego do podręcznikowych przykładów postaci rynków. Reformy, w ramach których zachodziły te procesy, obejmowały korporatyzację, wprowadzanie konkurencyjnych mechanizmów finansowania, opłat dla studentów, standaryzacji...

Dynamika „tworzenia-rynków” w szkolnictwie wyższym

Janja Komljenovic, Susan L. Robertson

Nauka i Szkolnictwo Wyższe > 2015 > 2(46) > 17-40

W niniejszym artykule przedstawiamy wyniki badania tego, co wiele osób uznało za dobrze już opracowaną niszę, a mianowicie procesów i rezultatów czegoś, co najczęściej określa się mianem ‘urynkowienia’ sektora szkolnictwa wyższego. Podejmujemy tę kwestię w oparciu o przygotowane przez nas studium przypadku Newton University, w kontekście którego odsłaniamy gwałtowne rozpowszechnienie się wymiany rynkowej...

Application and future of solid foams

Yves Bienvenu, Y. Bienvenu

Comptes rendus - Physique > 2014 > 15 > 8-9 > 719-730

To conclude this series of chapters on solid foam materials, a review of industrial current applications and of mid-term market perspectives centred on manmade foams is given, making reference to natural cellular materials. Although the polymeric foam industrial development overwhelms the rest and finds applications on many market segments, more attention will be paid to the emerging market of inorganic—especially...

Labor elasticities, market failures, and misallocation: Evidence from Indian agriculture

Joshua D. Merfeld

Agricultural Economics > 54 > 5 > 623 - 637

This article presents evidence of misallocation across households in rural Indian agriculture. I show that household demographics predict own farm labor demand for smallholder farmers but not non‐smallholder farmers. A simple model of labor allocation predicts a clear consequence of this duality: smallholder farmers will reallocate labor across plots less in response to price changes than non‐smallholders...

Against commercial‐assisted suicide

Yoann Della Croce

Bioethics > 37 > 7 > 617 - 623

The idea of commercial‐assisted suicide lives a marginal existence in the bioethical literature, despite its significant presence in popular culture. The practice of commercial‐assisted suicide (CAS) is defined as suicide assistance performed for a financial reward through a contractual agreement between a customer and a service‐provider, who does not necessarily need to be a medical professional...

Language and Racial Capitalism: Linguistic Anthropological Approaches to Minoritized Labor, Standard Language, and Racial Bias

Kenneth McGill

Transforming Anthropology > 31 > 1 > 57 - 70

This article examines racial capitalism from a semiotic perspective, arguing that economic value, like language and race, can be described in situated and indexical terms. I attempt to show how raciolinguistic bias in and around the workplace is linked to a larger labor market in which minoritized labor is reproduced in a systemic way, and to explore hegemonic formations of racialization in the workplace...

Insecure infrastructures: The affects and effects of violence in Mexico's food system

Tiana Bakić Hayden

American Anthropologist > 125 > 1 > 89 - 99

This article puts into dialogue anthropological discussions on violence, infrastructures, food systems, and affect to argue for the importance of understanding the role of affective responses in shaping not only subjectivities or experiences of individuals but also the networks, infrastructures, and institutions in which they participate. Set in contemporary Mexico, where concern about criminal violence...

Category innovation in the software industry: 1990–2002

Elizabeth George Pontikes

Strategic Management Journal > 43 > 9 > 1697 - 1727

Research Summary This study investigates category innovation, when firms introduce a new label to pioneer a market category. I propose two antecedent pathways. The first is based on firms' material developments. Firms that combine categories in their products and technologies are more likely to use category innovation to communicate their position is not peripheral, but at the center of an emerging...

Autonomy as a politico‐economic concept: Peasant practices and nested markets

Jan Douwe Ploeg, Sergio Schneider

Journal of Agrarian Change > 22 > 3 > 529 - 546

This paper discusses autonomy as a set of practices that result in the production and reproduction of resources that allow for self‐organization. We define autonomy as a social construct that refers to the self‐organizing capacity of people, communities, and movements. Such capacity assumes both resources and agency. In that vein, our conceptualisation implies that autonomy is a relational concept:...

Dissecting the “do good and do well” phenomenon: The case of the UK's market for social investment

Jess Daggers

The British Journal of Sociology > 73 > 3 > 623 - 642

The developing discourse around social investment and impact investing makes strong claims regarding the possibility of both furthering one's own interests while simultaneously acting for the benefit of others—“doing good and doing well”. Such claims are central to UK‐ and US‐centric attempts to reform capitalism in the face of multiple global crises. This article uses Foucault's writing on (neo)liberal...

The Enigma of an Emerging Pink Economy in China: Pain Points, Entrepreneurial Opportunities, and Organizational Legitimacy¹

Xingshu Liu

Sociological Forum > 37 > 2 > 626 - 645

This article examines why an aboveground pink economy has emerged in mainland China, where equal rights for gay people are repressed and public attitudes toward homosexuality are overwhelmingly negative. Drawing on interviews, supplemented with a minimal amount of media data, this article demonstrates that in China there was a group of gay people wishing to fulfill needs mainstream businesses disregard...

Collective Neoliberalism and Market Fundamentalism: Why Concerned People Acquiesce to the Oil and Gas Industry¹

Stephanie A. Malin, Adam Mayer, Kassandra Roeser

Sociological Forum > 37 > 2 > 395 - 420

In the United States, unconventional oil and gas (UOG) production has elicited strong public response. As production occurs amid residential and commercial spaces, environmental, social, economic, regulatory, and mental health impacts have been documented across locations. Some community groups have mobilized against this activity, whereas others have not. We examine how and why UOG production becomes...

Governing aquaculture commons

Stefan Partelow, Achim Schlüter, Aisa Manlosa, Ben Nagel, more

Reviews in Aquaculture > 14 > 2 > 729 - 750

Knowledge of the shared resources—or commons—that aquaculture systems rely on, and the appropriate rule and norm systems to govern them—or institutions—is far behind other natural resource use sectors. In this article, we provide a conceptual framework for identifying the social and environmental commons creating collective action problems for aquaculture governance. Collective action problems, or...

Is Good Credit Good? State Credit Ratings and Economic Insecurity, 1996–2012¹

Davon Norris, Elizabeth C. Martin

Sociological Forum > 37 > 1 > 246 - 268

Obtaining a good credit rating is an important financial goal for governments since good credit yields lower interest rates and signals fiscal responsibility. But what does a government’s quest for better credit mean for the wellbeing of its residents? Although good credit gives governments access to cheaper borrowing to invest in socially beneficial services and infrastructure, working to obtain...

Re‐stating power: How states make, tame, and shape markets

Sangeetha Chandrashekeran

Geographical Research > 60 > 1 > 138 - 151

This article presents the argument that states work in and through markets to actively balance competing interests and manage contradictions and disequilibrium. I focus on four processes reshaping Australia’s electricity governance in the last two decades, namely deregulation, (de)centralisation, decarbonisation, and digitalisation, and show the ubiquity of state spatial strategies to govern through...

Joint Management Committee in Renewable Energy Projects as a Tool for Efficient Risk Management and Coordination

Mostapha Maddahinasab

Energy Policy Studies > 2022 > No. 3 (11) > 16--26

The Renewable Energy (RE)sector has been developed in some degree by government policies, but tools must be applied on a private-commercial scale for this sector to grow even more. These tools can be applied through the contractual relationships between the participants in a RE project. Many contracts are involved in a RE project that are not integrated in such a way that cooperation for improving...

Benchmarking information aggregation in experimental markets

Andrea Albertazzi, Friederike Mengel, Ronald Peeters

Economic Inquiry > 59 > 4 > 1500 - 1516

Theoretical and experimental literature have provided mixed insights on the ability of financial markets to perfectly aggregate private information into asset prices. We conduct an experiment designed to benchmark information aggregation in markets. In our lab experiment, we randomly assign subjects to different institutional environments, either a market or a Becker–DeGroot–Marschak mechanism. We...

Pop‐up publics: Temporary publicness at the Auckland Night Markets

Mitchell Klein, Bethany Cox, Kelsie Tuck, Tom Baker, more

New Zealand Geographer > 77 > 2 > 114 - 122

The increasing significance of temporary urban initiatives—like community gardens, markets, festivals and artistic ventures—raises questions about their role in the public life and “publicness” of cities. In dialogue with normative and alternative literature on public space, we examine how temporary urbanism is implicated in the production of publicness. Through examining the Auckland Night Markets...

Views of management effectiveness in tropical reef fisheries

Timothy R. McClanahan, Emily S. Darling, Sangeeta Mangubhai, Georgina G. Gurney, more

Fish and Fisheries > 22 > 5 > 1085 - 1104

The effectiveness and outcomes of management are expected to improve when people are informed, engaged and influential in governance and management procedures. The social‐ecological and demographic contexts should, however, influence an individual's perceptions and willingness to engage and access appreciable benefits from management. To evaluate how engagement, procedures and perceived outcomes varied...

13 City, State, and Market: Lessons from Mesoamerica

Edward Swenson

Archeological Papers of the American Anthropological Association > 32 > 1 > 179 - 188

In evaluating the contributions to this issue, this chapter questions the predictable co‐occurrence of cities with markets and states, a long‐held position in western social theory. However, an extreme relativism is also flawed, and the projection of anti‐capitalist fantasies on past, other peoples have equally distorted interpretations of the archaeological record and blinded researchers to the reality...
