MUNIR, MUDASSAR. "EVERYDAY IMAGES AND PRACTICES OF THE STATE IN RURAL PAKISTAN." Doctoral thesis, Università degli Studi di Milano, 2021. http://hdl.handle.net/2434/878019.
Full textAbstract:
In my thesis project, I provide an analysis of the way the image and the perception of the state is formed in the context of everyday social and political life in rural Pakistan. I demonstrate how people in a rural locality understand the Pakistani state and its laws and how these understandings shape the way the people carry out everyday engagement with the state authorities. This research undertaking is guided by three principal questions: 1) what is the common conception of Pakistani state at the local level; 2) how do people interact and experience the state institutions at the micro level; 3) what role do different non-state actors who act as ‘intermediaries’ between their fellow villagers and the wider political world play in shaping local embodiment of the state and people’s experiences with it? My fieldwork in a village in Pakistani Punjab, which was reduced to six months from one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, reveals that the images and perceptions of the Pakistani state are split between ‘sublime’ and ‘profane’ dimensions. On the one hand, the people imagine the state as a sublime entity that exists in far-off places. The state is somewhere else, geographically detached from their locality. It can only be seen on television sets, in major urban centers of the country, and it is a rich institute with enormous financial resources. On the other hand, the people also talk about the state as a profane entity associated with corruption, hierarchy, fraud, and lies. The state is where culture of corruption and mistreatment is deeply pervasive. Fearing of difficulties and complications, the state is something with which they want to have minimum interaction. They consider the state offices are full of lazy and biased employees who provide no service without sifarish (recommendation), taaluq wasta (relationship), or rishwat (bribery). I argue that the people at the local level attach sublime qualities to the national and provincial realm of the Pakistani state, while its local realm with which the people engage on everyday basis is seen as profane. My ethnographic material also illustrates that since everyday state administration is perceived to be riddled with corrupt practices and abuse of authority, this condition creates favorable atmosphere in rural Pakistan for different actors of patronage system to operate – where different political intermediaries assume leading role in variety of political spaces and social relations, acting as a conduit between the state and residents, as well as at times performing certain roles at the local level as they are free from the state's control or at other times acting as helping hand of the state.

Cheng, Wai. "Development without slums : institutions, intermediaries and grassroots politics in urban China." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2015. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/3244/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis studies the institutional foundations and micro-mechanisms by which social order is regulated and public goods are delivered in China’s urban grassroots communities. This study is motivated by the seemingly deviant phenomenon that massive internal migration and rapid urbanisation during China’s market reforms have not resulted in chaotic and familiar third world urban diseases. Instead, relatively governed, less contentious, highly dynamic yet ultimately soft migrant enclaves contrast sharply with what often feature most developing countries. Based on the case studies of four urban villages – which categorically housed the majority of China’s 274 million rural migrants – I trace the interplay among the remaining socialist institutions, dominant market forces and various intermediaries in managing migrant contestation and serving state functions. I consider both objective criteria and migrants’ perceptions to explain why China’s migrant enclaves demonstrate distinct characteristics compared with the migrant enclaves in many developing countries. I also consider why China’s migrant enclaves share similar patterns of transformation with its formal cities. The findings contest the conventional approaches that are used to explain China’s structural stability and territorial cohesion despite local disturbances and conflicts, which are mainly attributable to the authoritarian regime, state corporatism or an underdeveloped civil society. Although China’s land, danwei and hukou systems are nationally configured, I argue that these institutions are also conducive to protecting an intermediate realm that comprises residential committees, joint-stock companies and clan associations by providing a safety valve and nurturing localised engagements. I then examine how these intermediaries have adopted coercion, patronage and exit-point mechanisms to deliver public goods, enforce communal order and broker urban renewal through less coercive and predatory means. I further assess the ways in which these engaging but parochial, resourceful but dependent, and exclusive rather than inclusive intermediaries have mediated the boundaries between despotic power and infrastructural power and among state agenda, market forces and grassroots interests. This thesis thus re-visits China’s authoritarian resilience concerning not only how migrant contestation is managed but also what institutions and mechanisms are most effective to articulate multiple interests and ensure social compliance during the processes of urbanisation and decentralisation in the absence of electoral politics.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the case of an intermediate group inhabiting the Lurin Valley on the Central Coast of Peru and its role in the valley’s integration within the context of regional politics at the beginning of the Middle Horizon. Thisresearch presents and analyzes how political strategies were constructed in the valley, incorporating data from excavations at the site of Lote B. Additionally, evidence published about other domestic sites in Lurin is discussed in order to partially reconstruct the interaction between distinct segments of Lima society.This work contributes to a better understanding of the Lima culture, and to the reconstruction of its social organization. In a larger sense, we propose that the Lima culture was initially a tradition shared by a number of relatively independent groups that at the end of the Early Intermediate Period, entered into a process of progressive centralization, developing more rigid political organizations and reordering social structures. We posit that the existing intermediate groups in Lurin adopted strategies that permitted them to reformulate these new political contexts.El presente artículo explora el caso de un grupo intermedio, que habitaba el valle de Lurín, en la Costa Central peruana, y el rol que este cumplió en la integración del valle dentro del contexto político regional, al comienzo del Horizonte Medio. Presentaremos y analizaremos cómo se construyeron las estrategias políticas en el valle, incorporando datos de nuestras excavaciones en el sitio Lote B. Se discute adicionalmente la evidencia publicada proveniente de otros sitios domésticos, para reconstruir parcialmente la interacción de los distintos segmentos de la sociedad Lima. De esta manera, contribuimos a un mejor entendimiento y a la reconstrucción de su organización social. En una manera más amplia proponemos que la cultura Lima inicialmente representó una tradición compartida por varios grupos relativamente independientes, que para el final del Intermedio Temprano, entraron en un proceso de progresiva centralización y desarrollo de una(s) organización(es) política más rígida y un reordenamiento de las estructuras sociales, donde los grupos intermedios existentes en Lurín, adoptaron estrategias que les permitieron reformular estos nuevos contextos políticos.

Full textAbstract:
This article focuses on party competition in Bolivia from a multilevel approach with department (intermediate level) as the territorial unit of analysis from 2005 to 2015. The objective is to demonstrate the (in)congruence of an institutional level overlooked by the literature on multilevel studies, for which two indices of measurement are used: Summary Measure of Congruence (Gibson and Suarez-Cao 2010) in a one version and Dissimilarity Index (Johnston 1980) in two versions, nationally aggregated and departmentally disaggregated, with voting data from all competing parties (DISa) and only from those with double competition (DISb). The argument handled is that if an institutional level is important enough to be introduced to the electoral framework of a country, it should also be important enough for academic interest, especially in their relation with the rest of the system. From this, the study concluded that the importance of this institutional level depends on the degree of autonomy it has and the interest of the partisan actors and regional elites.El presente artículo aborda la competencia partidista en Bolivia desde un enfoque multinivel a partir del departamento (nivel intermedio) como unidad territorial de análisis de 2005 a 2015. El objetivo es dar cuenta de la (in)congruencia que presenta un nivel institucional soslayado por la literatura existente sobre los estudios multinivel. Con este propósito se utilizan dos herramientas de medición: la Medida de Congruencia (Gibson y Suárez-Cao 2010) en una sola versión y el Índice de Disimilitud (Johnston 1980) en dos versiones, agregada a nivel nacional y desagregada por departamentos, con la introducción de datos de todos los partidos (DISa) y de los partidos con doble competencia (DISb). El argumento que se maneja es que si un nivel institucional es lo suficientemente importante para ser introducido al ámbito electoral de un país, debería serlo también para el interés académico y más en su relación con el resto del sistema. A partir de esto, el estudio ha llegado a la conclusión de que la importancia de este nivel institucional depende del grado de autonomía que posea y del interés de los actores partidistas y las élites regionales.

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2006.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 201-204).
This research study examines the role that workforce intermediaries within Boston play in creating career pathways for economically disadvantaged, under-skilled residents in the local health care industry. Using a case study analysis, this study compares the outcomes of two workforce intermediaries-one which is employer-led and the other which is led by a community development corporation. Despite the proliferation of new workforce intermediaries around the country and the increased amount of funding to support them from the private and public sectors, these institutions are limited in their ability to increase the supply of a skilled workforce and to change the demand-side of the labor market. However, given the current structural holes in the publicly funded workforce development system, workforce intermediaries play a critical role in serving populations who otherwise would have a difficult time entering into the regional labor market.

Full textAbstract:
As spatial properties that systems theoretically have, Socio-Ecological Systems are characterized by dynamism and mobility, therefore, are subject to changes in the space they occupy in the biosphere. In land ecosystems, these changes are understood as processes of evolution over time, or the result of extreme natural events, or transformation of the natural space induced by human activities.
These spatial changes produce effects on the land surface and groundwater of ecosystems colonized or penetrated by elements, individuals or populations belonging to other ecosystems. These are the so-called Transitional Spaces between ecosystems.
Throughout the continuous geographical space, these spatial transitions affect human and not human ecosystems in different ways. Given their ambiguous characteristics and their indefinite temporal location between urban, rural or natural spaces, transition spaces deserve to be investigated in order to know their properties and functions within the cartography that represents complex socio-ecological systems.
The research is conducted from a particular perspective of Political Ecology. For this I proceed to develop an epistemological exercise on the political ecology syntagma in order to approach its concept and object of study as a hybrid discipline between social sciences and natural sciences. Interdisciplinarity as a practice, a dialectic vision regarding anthropocentrism, environmental perception as a method for an ontology of human ecology, The ecosystem as a unit of spatial analysis. These would be some of the characteristics of my ecological-political perspective.
But what does transitional space mean for political ecology and what does it add to its theory? The question led me to seek the integral concept of ecosystem and to support myself in the General Systems Theory to analyze the notions of boundary and external environment as part of the classic concept of system. At that point, the notion of transitional spaces emerges implicit when recognizing the dynamic spatiality of other existing systems.
v
Since the research is not linear but interdisciplinary and convergent, a brief anthology of geographic and socio-spatial political thought is presented in order to connect the issue of transitional spaces with the point of view of the social sciences. Various socio-geographical, deterministic, anthropocentric, Darwinian, Marxist, modernist theories give an overview of the issues related to space and nature. With the emergence of the spatial turn, new concerns for political sociology, geography and environmental sciences are explained by the phenomenon of urban growth at the global level.
In the same way, I introduce the topic of ecological spaces, specifically the concept of Ecotone, the space of transition between diverse natural ecosystems. The use of the notion of ecotone is based precisely on the perspective of the concept of political ecology developed previously.
This, in turn, will allow me to introduce the FLACAM methodology into the research, which among its components has the virtue of identifying and analyzing the spatial phenomenon of physical and social Interfaces, that is, spaces of transition within human ecosystems. Several graphics and charts show the potential properties and functions of different kind of existing interfaces and ecotones. My proposal converges in using these concepts as planning tools for transitional spaces identified as Rurban Regions and metropolitan areas.
A final reflection on the need for spatial research on global urban expansion and the theoretical and pragmatic advantages of the concept of intermediate cities closes the main body of the investigation.

Full textAbstract:
Nella presente tesi discutiamo gli effetti delle asimmetrie informative sui prezzi degli asset e sull’acquisizione di informazione nei mercati finanziari.
Nel Capitolo 1 studiamo come una "bolla" possa emergere in un mercato, in cui “intermediari” scambiano” con i venditori e i compratori di un asset. Analizziamo come l’incertezza di “secondo ordine” possa “innescare” bolle, assumendo che l’offerta di asset sia limitata e che le vendite allo scoperto non siano possibili.
Nel Capitolo 2 studiamo come l’informazione asimmetrica e la liquidità influenza l’acquisizione di informazione in mercati finanziari. Prendiamo in esame un modello, in cui alcuni agenti, i “venditori”, possono sia “verificare la qualità” di un asset e investire nell’asset, dove per “verificare la qualità” si intende acquisire informazione riguardo il cash-flow futuro dell’asset. Mostriamo che la presenza di potenziali acquirenti, che non hanno constraints di liquidità e che non possono verificare la qualità dell’asset, induce i venditori a non acquisire informazione circa il futuro valore dell’asset, prima di investire nell’asset stesso.
Nel Capitolo 3 presentiamo una rassegna della letteratura teorica sulle condizioni che consentono l’emergenza di bolle in mercati finanziari, in cui coloro che scambiamo non hanno la stessa informazione o non si comportano sulla base della stessa informazione.In the present work we discuss how asymmetric information affects asset prices and information acquisition in financial markets. In Chapter 1 we study how a "bubble" can emerge in a market, in which “intermediaries” deal with sellers and buyers of an asset. We analyze how “second-order” uncertainty can "fuel" bubbles, under the assumptions that the supply of asset is limited and short-sales are not allowed. In Chapter 2 we examine how asymmetric information and liquidity (or wealth) can affect the acquisition of information in financial markets. We analyze a general setting, in which some agents, which we name sellers, can both "verify the quality" of and invest in an asset, where by "verify the quality" of the asset we mean to acquire information about the future cash-flow from the asset. We show that the presence of potential buyers, who have no liquidity constraints and who cannot verify the quality of the asset, induces sellers not to acquire information about the future value of asset, before investing in it. In Chapter 3 we survey theoretical literature concerned with conditions under which bubbles can emerge in financial markets, in which traders do not have the same information or do not behave on the base of the same information.

Full textAbstract:
L’offerta di servizi di microcredito da parte di istituzioni di microfinanza contribuisce ad aumentare l’accesso al credito di una clientela rurale ed accrescere l’efficienza dei mercati locali del credito? Questo studio prova a rispondere alla precedente domanda attraverso lo sviluppo di un modello teorico e l’analisi empirica sulla base di dati raccolti in un villaggio dell’Etiopia.
In un mercato finanziario duale (formale/informale), il modello teorico indica che, nonostante non tutti i membri dell’ accordo informale ottengano un microcredito dall’intermediario formale, ogni membro dell’istituzione informale ne beneficia. Infatti, i membri che si trovano in condizione di deficit finanziario beneficiano direttamente di maggiori risorse derivanti dal prestito mentre gli altri membri godono di vincoli di partecipazione meno stringenti. Inoltre, quando il tasso di interesse sui prestiti formali si riduce, aumenta sia l’utilità dei prenditori di fondi che quella di tutti gli altri membri dell’istituzione informale. Gli intermediari formali sottraggono mercato alle istituzioni informali in una misura che dipende dall’ammontare del microcredito e dal tasso di interesse.
I dati raccolti nel villaggio rurale etiope confermano solo parzialmente le considerazioni teoriche. In primo luogo, a causa di un diverso ammontare e di una diversa scadenza dei prestiti formali rispetto a quelli informali, nel villaggio i due mercati sembrano complementari. In secondo luogo, l’approccio del prestito di gruppo sembra replicare gli stessi processi di monitoraggio e selezione delle istituzioni informali e pertanto le famiglie a basso reddito rimangono vincolate nell’accesso al credito.
In conclusione, se le istituzioni di microfinanza volessero operare con successo nelle aree rurali, dovrebbero, per prima cosa, studiare i processi di selezione dei membri all’interno delle istituzioni informali e, per seconda cosa, offrire una più ampia gamma di prodotti finanziari oltre al credito, come ad esempio prodotti di risparmio e prodotti assicurativi.Does the provision of formal microcredit increase access to credit of rural clients and efficiency of credit markets? This study tackles this question through the development of a theoretical model and an empirical analysis in an Ethiopian village. In a dual (formal/informal) financial market, the theoretical model suggests that when some members of the informal arrangement get a formal loan, all members benefit from it. The agents who have a current deficit have greater financial resources whereas the agents who have an expected future deficit enjoy looser participation constraints. Furthermore, when the interest rate charged on formal loans decreases, the utility of not only borrowing members but all members in the arrangement increases. Besides, the formal market crowds out the informal market to some extent as long as the formal loan size increases or the interest rate decreases. Evidence from the rural village in southern Ethiopia only weakly confirms the theoretical results because of two reasons. First, due to different size and maturity of loans, the formal microcredit services and the informal risk sharing arrangements appear to be complements in the local market. Second, the group lending approach seems to replicate the same selection and monitoring processes of the informal arrangements and the low-income households remain constrained in their access to credit. Therefore, MFIs that want to operate successfully in rural areas should, first, make an assessment of self-selection processes in the informal arrangements and, second, provide a wider range of financial products besides credit, such as savings and insurance products.

Full textAbstract:
La tesi analizza come le relazioni tra banche e imprese influenzino la capacità di aziende in difficoltà di rinegoziare il loro debito. Dopo una rassegna della teoria, con particolare attenzione ai fallimenti di mercato che ostacolano la rinegoziazione (primo paper), la tesi approfondisce i problemi di coordinamento tra più banche in presenza di multiaffidamento (secondo paper). Un modello a giochi ripetuti viene utilizzato per descrivere la situazione di banche che si incontrano ripetutamente per discutere su numerose imprese in difficoltà. In tale contesto, il coordinamento è raggiunto seguendo una classica ,'trigger strategy', che prevede la punizione dei comportamenti opportunistici. All’aumentare del numero di banche, altre strategie possono essere utilizzate, come l’esclusione dei creditori considerati inaffidabili (‘ostracismo’), migliorando così la probabilità di cooperare. L’ultimo paper affronta questi temi empiricamente: le banche ristrutturano più facilmente aziende il cui debito è prevalentemente di origine bancaria, più grandi e con una migliore situazione economica e finanziaria prima della crisi. Al crescere del numero di banche la probabilità di ristrutturare e il credito concesso dopo la crisi aumentano fino ad una soglia, stimata tra tre e quattro banche, oltre la quale trovare un accordo diventa più difficile. Questo risultato può aiutare a spiegare la diffusione del multiaffidamento.The thesis analyses how bank-firm relationships affect firms facing financial distress and their capability to renegotiate outstanding debt. The first paper reviews the theoretical contributions on this process and the market failures that hinder it. The second paper studies coordination problems among multiple banks. Banks have more than one distressed firm to face and, therefore, they come across repeatedly and behave strategically. This setting is modelled as a repeated game, wherein coordination is improved by following a classical trigger strategy, which threatens a punishment in case of free riding behaviours. As the number of lending banks increases, different strategies can be adopted, such as ostracism against untrustworthy players, thus improving the likelihood of cooperation. The last paper analyses empirically the issue: banks tend to restructure those firms they are more involved in, larger and with a better economic and financial situation before the distress event. A higher number of banks and more dispersed debt increase the restructuring probability, the new credit granted after the distress event and the survival probability, up to a threshold estimated between three and four banks, beyond which reaching an agreement becomes harder. This result gives a new rationale to multiple banking relations.

Questa tesi analizza un tema fondamentale e nello stesso tempo controverso: il rischio di liquidità che, dopo la crisi del 2007-2008, sta diventato sempre più importante. Le banche centrali forniscono la liquidità necessaria per ridurre la probabilità di un collasso del sistema finanziario, utilizzando una vasta gamma di strumenti. La tesi in oggetto propone un’analisi della politica quantitativa della Banca Centrale Europea: un’analisi in cui sono state considerate le condizioni di mercato e la loro coerenza con la domanda di liquidità da parte del sistema bancario.
Il quadro normativo internazionale Basilea III ha introdotto nuove regole per la gestione del rischio di liquidità. Questo lavoro presenta una serie di azioni che possono essere applicate per migliorare le capacità di gestione del rischio di liquidità della banca stessa. Applicando al processo decisionale il metodo della simulazione, è stata utilizzata un'analisi di sensitività per determinare l'impatto delle decisioni manageriali sull’indice di liquidità.
Questa tesi mette in evidenza l'importanza del rischio di liquidità e presenta l'analisi empirica che ha permesso l'indagine della relazione che intercorre tra il nuovo requisito introdotto dal Basilea in materia di liquidità (NSFR) e la stabilità del sistema bancario, i fattori macroeconomici e dei mercati finanziari, e le operazioni della banca centrale.This thesis focuses on a crucial and controversial issue - liquidity risk. After the 2007-2008 crisis it became increasingly important. The Central Banks provide required liquidity to minimise the probability of a financial system meltdown by using a wide array of instruments. This thesis proposes an analyses of the European Central Bank quantitative policy, market conditions in which these measures have been taken, and their consistency with the demand for liquidity by the banking system. The Basel III international regulatory framework introduced new liquidity regulations for managing liquidity risk. This study introduces a number of actions that can be performed to improve a bank’s liquidity risk management capabilities. By applying the simulation-based approach to decision making, a sensitivity analysis was used to determine the impact of managerial rulings on liquidity ratio. The present work highlights the importance of the liquidity risk and presents the empirical analysis that allowed the exploration of the relationship between the Basel’s new liquidity requirement (NSFR) and banking stability, macroeconomic and financial markets factors, and central bank operations.

Full textAbstract:
Les recherches récentes sur la XIIIe dynastie ont abordé séparément les questions chronologiques et politiques d’une part, et celles traitant de l’administration et de la société d’autre part, le résultat étant une vision fragmentée de l’Histoire de cette époque. Il est donc apparu nécessaire d’élaborer une synthèse historique sur la XIIIe dynastie qui réunit ces différentes problématiques. L’originalité de notre travail consiste en une approche globale de la documentation de la période, fondée sur l’étude croisée des sources historiques et archéologiques, royales ou privées, sans les opposer ni en privilégier plutôt l’une que l’autre. Cette entreprise est d’autant plus nécessaire que la XIIIe dynastie n’a été étudiée jusqu’à présent que dans le cadre d’études globales sur le Moyen Empire ou la Deuxième Période Intermédiaire. Elle n’y occupe pas forcément une place très importante et elle y est souvent l’objet d’opinions peu flatteuses. Notre thèse est divisée en quatre chapitres. Les deux premiers sont consacrés à la datation, à l’identification et à l’étude du milieu social des principaux acteurs de la XIIIe dynastie que sont les rois et l’élite de l’administration et du clergé. Les deux derniers traitent de questions politiques, qu’elles soient architecturales, religieuses, économiques ou diplomatiques. Dans le premier chapitre, les limites de la XIIIe dynastie sont fixées, ses souverains identifiés et la famille royale étudiée. Le deuxième est dévolu à l’examen de l’administration et de la société de cette époque et s’articule autour de l’étude prosopographique des élites. L’activité constructrice et les développements religieux de la XIIIe dynastie au sein du territoire traditionnel de l’Egypte sont abordés dans le troisième. Le dernier chapitre traite en partie de thèmes abordés dans les deux précédents, mais dans un contexte géographique différent, celui des marges de l’Egypte et des territoires nouvellement annexés en Basse Nubie et au Levant. Les questions de politiques extérieures y sont également étudiées. Les résultats auxquels nous sommes parvenus contribuent à changer la vision traditionnelle de la XIIIe dynastie, la grande oubliée du Moyen Empire, tant sur les plans politiques, économiques que sociauxIn recent times, the 13th Dynasty has been approached either from a chronological and political perspective or from an administrative and social standpoint. The result is an incomplete view of the History of that period. The need to touch on those different issues in a single historical study quickly arose. Our work is unique in the sense that it tackles the problems of this period in a global way, based upon a crossover study of the historical and archaeological sources, may they be royal or private, without opposing them or favouring one or the other. This attempt at an overview is all the more necessary that the 13th Dynasty has always been examined within general studies on the Middle Kingdom or the Second Intermediate Period but never in its own right. Thereby, it is often looked upon in a superficial manner and poorly considered. Our thesis is split in four chapters. The first two are devoted to the dating, identification and social study of the main protagonists of the 13th Dynasty, which are its kings, high officials and higher priests. The last two deal with political issues, whether architectural, religious, economical or diplomatic. In the first chapter, once the frame of the 13th Dynasty is ascertained and its kings identified, the royal family is examined. The second one is devoted to the administration and the society of that time through a prosopographical study of its elites. We look into the royal work projects and religious developments of the 13th Dynasty inside the traditional borders of Egypt in the third chapter. The last one covers in part some of the issues dealt with in the previous two chapters, but within a different geographical context, that of the edges of Egypt and its newly annexed territories in Lower Nubia and in the Levant. Foreign policies are also considered in this final chapter. The results attained in our thesis contribute to change the traditional view of the political, economical and social aspects of the often overlooked Dynasty of the Middle Kingdom, the 13th one

Cycling advocacy has taken a form of a popular worldwide social movement in the beginning of the 21st century. Cyclists demand not only improved conditions for cycling, but also a reform in the way the city is being run in order to be "livable" and saturated with "quality public spaces". This dissertation attempts to put the phenomenon in the context of the theory of risk society and it attempts to incorporate impulses from the theoretical tradition of ANT. The cycling controversy is being read as a re-invention of politics in urban arenas. What is political about the bicycle? More than it may seem. The bicycle has endured a long trajectory of political appropriation by various groups in order to arrive at a point where it began to be conceived as the default starting point of the critique of automobility and Western modernity. As a consequence the bicycle emerges as a loaded political symbol that is being appropriated by cycling advocates in order to problematize the alienated city colonized by cars, appropriated by business interests and neglected by the political representation. The bicycle is being reinvented as a symbol of urban revolution. This dissertation introduces the results of an empirical research undertaken between June 2013 and April 2015 that maps the shape of the cycling controversy in...

Full textAbstract:
When the number of intermediates in a market is reduced, they become price-makers which allow them to handle production policies through demand control. Seen that one of the most important State missions is insuring market equilibrium, several national legislations throughout the world and international treats establish artificial oligopsonistic as a criminal offence against free competition. Notwithstanding the legal treatment, empirical studies show that oligopsonistic cartels seem to be unsighted by Concurrence Authorities although their noxiousness, the same happens in academy. The hindrance, as aforementioned, is not the lack of legislation but the intricacy to detect counterfeit oligopsonistic cartel in a very accurate manner as legal trials require. Thereunto this research proposes, using estimate and dynamic models, to demonstrate that a specific market is subjected to oligopsonistic control. We reviewed and extended a theoretical method of identification models that are used in specialized literature, expounding versions of both, static and dynamic price elasticity so that we can illustrate the wavy trend in price outliers highlighting how it is rather more precise to identify such market failure than other methods. We dispelled the antithetical possibilities of Giffen Effect over prices, considering extensions to models with Walras’ mixed-strategy equilibrium, substitution effect and the Pareto optimum price which provided us homogeneous insights that can be used in oligopsonistic settings to conduct inference about the outcomes. We found, considering hypothesis of linear errors with less theoretical restrictions, that the cyclic wave in intermediate prices is not fortuitous but a robust denotation of oligopsonistic cartel activity and can support Market Authorities in legal trials.

In this paper, the election of representatives at the basic level of Chiayi County in 2009 was taken as a case study, in which service quality, candidate attributes, and voting behavior were analyzed; negative campaigning and political marketing strategy were mediators used to measure the overall causal relationship. The researcher holds: candidate attributes and service quality in the election are universally associated with local factions. The more basic level the elections are, the more seriously the local factions get involved. For a long time, mass media have covered the phenomenon of how local factions get involved in the election with black money and violence, dominating the power of local government.In the process of election campaigning, the most common election culture is the issue - negative campaigning, which is not necessarily unfair in the election. By definition of academia in general, negative campaigning means that the candidates focus their attention on the opponents, observing and criticizing the flaws and weakness of the opponents’ political views, ability, integrity, and other related issues.（Lau and Pomper, 2002） When political marketing strategy is applied to the political market, it appears to be particularly important how to create the most ideal image for the candidate in various voters’ eye. Methodically, case studies provide more objective and complete information; in particular distributing the analysis object of the mediators in the various fields will be able to verify the research theories and methods. The expectation of this research model is to contribute high value of continuity, in case studies on the election of representatives at the basic level in each county and city all over Taiwan, and the construction of theories in political marketing strategy and voting behavior.
