Texto completo da fonteThe world is increasingly moving toward a technology- and information-based economy. With this change, a growing occupational category involves working in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). What is the political identification of STEM workers? Quantitative work has shown that professionals, in general, are moving toward the Democratic Party (see, e.g. Hout, Brooks, and Manza 1995); but a qualitative interview-based study suggested that STEM workers, specifically, may be more conservative than others (Zussman 1985). The primary purpose of this study is to bring quantitative analyses to bear on this question to determine if STEM workers, are, indeed, more conservative than others. A secondary purpose is to begin explaining why they are more conservative, if such a pattern is found. The primary research hypothesis follows Zussman (1985) and predicts that STEM workers are significantly more conservative than other workers; a secondary hypothesis is that this significant difference will remain even when controlling for key demographic variables. Regression analyses provide support for both hypotheses, which suggests that STEM workers are, indeed, more conservative than others—a pattern that may be rooted in the structure of their work, a la Kohn (1989).

Texto completo da fonteA broad-based franchise - that is, an inclusive policy for who elects leaders - is fundamental to the spirit of democracy in the twenty-first century. Yet the world's earliest democratic constitutions in Europe and the Americas either made no provision for women's participation, or explicitly prohibited it in their founding documents. Women were barred from the franchise even in those countries that went the furthest in guaranteeing men political equality, such as France and the United States. Things began to change in the 189os, when women around the world began to vote alongside men. What explains this sea-change in women's rights? Were women agents of their own political emancipation, or did politicians preemptively grant women voting rights in a bid for electoral success? Studying the political inclusion of women around the turn of the twentieth century, this dissertation argues that both electoral politics and the ordinary strategies of women's movements explain the extension of female suffrage.
The argument is simple. Politicians care about getting re-elected and so will only support reform if they think it serves that end. But even if politicians believe they can win the votes of the excluded group, they will not deviate from the status quo unless they anticipate losing future elections without female voters. Hence voting rights reform is more likely to occur in highly competitive political environments. In combining these insights, I construct an intuitive theory of the electoral conditions under which franchise extensions should be forthcoming, predicting that vulnerable political parties that foresee an electoral advantage will push for reform. Along with electoral vulnerability and the political preferences of the excluded group, organized political movements add a critical third dimension to this story. Political movements can intervene in the electoral arena, either by changing politician's beliefs about how the disfranchised will vote, or by changing the relative strength of competing political parties.
I substantiate this theory through a comparative historical study of women's suffrage reform in England, France and the United States. Drawing on multiple forms of evidence, including large-n statistical analyses, roll-call analysis, close reading of legislative debates, and primary research into the interactions between suffrage organizers and elected politicians, I show how male representatives were induced by party competition, preference convergence, and organized activism to restrict women's access to political decision-making or to grant women the right to vote.
Whereas most recent scholarship on franchise reform has avoided the subject of female voting rights, determining a priori that it is distinct from, and thus not comparable to, male enfranchisement, my research bridges this gap by highlighting the semi-democratic context in which most moments of voting rights reform have taken place. This re-formulation allows women to emerge as an interesting and relevant group for comparative analysis, and provides an analytical structure for future work to examine the enfranchisement of other groups in a semi-democratic context, including minority groups and segments of the non-ruling classes.

Ehrhart, Ryan. "Scaling food security| a political ecology of agricultural policies and practices in Bukidnon, Philippines". Thesis, City University of New York, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3561582.
Texto completo da fonteDebates over food security strategies in the Philippines have pitted the neoliberal paradigm of trade liberalization, export cropping, and chemical and biotech agricultural methods against the food sovereignty paradigm of protectionism, staple cropping, and sustainable agriculture methods.
The Philippine government has long pushed for yield increases of staples. However, there has been dissonance between governmental desires for rice self-sufficiency and pursuit of a more export-oriented agricultural economy. The World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Asian Development Bank, and the World Trade Organization have pressured the government of the Philippines to adopt various tenets of neoliberalism (trade liberalization, privatization, deregulation, and budgetary austerity), which have hindered the achievement of Philippine goals for self-sufficiency in its staple foods and stunted the potential benefits of land reform.
Through ethnographic research of the social and ecological conditions in three rural villages in the province of Bukidnon, this examination of agrarian change explores how various actors—small farmers, collectives, large planters, and agribusiness corporations—have been scaling their projects in the agricultural economy.
The use of chemical inputs has damaged soils and saddled farmers with debts. In many cases, control of land has been lost to elites through sales or pawning arrangements. Relatively egalitarian corn- and rice-farming areas have given way to a stratified landscape of sugarcane and banana plantations, as former smallholders have been forced to work as wage laborers. Multinational agribusinesses have steered the area away from staple production and threatened human and environmental health with pesticide exposure and erosion.
Some farmers though have organized against these prevailing trends. Production and social reproduction have been rescaled through collective marketing, reciprocal labor arrangements, and more equitably gendered divisions of labor. Agroecological methods, such as composting, organic fertilization, seed saving, and indigenous pest control have scaled the reproduction of environmental conditions more locally and increased farmer incomes because their inputs are created on the farm. Protecting local control of the means of production—seeds, fertilizers, and especially land—has become an important method for preserving a smallholder class, maintaining more self-determination, and working toward greater food sovereignty.

Texto completo da fonteThis paper explores the relationship between a state's use of voter-approved debt and its credit ratings. The variation in credit ratings from 1973 - 2008 across the 50 US states is explained as a function of states' use of voter-approved debt while controlling for confounding variables. The analysis attempts to estimate the effect of issuing voter-approved debt on credit ratings relative to the effect of issuing legislature-approved debt using a panel dataset constructed from three data sources: the National Conference of State Legislature's Ballot Measure Database, the US Census Bureau's Survey of Government Finances and Standard & Poor's credit ratings. While prior literature has focused on the effect of voter approval requirements on measures of state credit health, this paper investigates the use of voter-approved debt by relying on a variable that measures the share of voter-approved debt issued by a state, in a given year and over time. Ordered probit models controlling for state and year fixed effects, as well as state demographics, finances, economic performance and financial institutions are used to explore the relationship between the use of voter-approved debt and a state's credit rating. The paper finds a statistically significant negative relationship between a state's use of voter-approved debt and its credit ratings. The results show that issuing 60% of state debt using voter-approval (the average for states that issue voter-approved debt in a given year) is related to a 0.71 lower state credit rating on a scale from 1-7 (BBB=1, AAA=7).
Zulfiqar, Ghazal M. "Microfinance| A tool for financial access, poverty alleviation or gender empowerment? -- Empirical findings from Pakistan". Thesis, University of Massachusetts Boston, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3608538.
Texto completo da fonteIn just 30 years microfinance has transformed from a credit-based rural development scheme that has claimed to reduce poverty and empower poor women, to a $70 billion financial industry. In the process, the traditional NGO-led model has given way to commercialized institutions, resulting in an increased emphasis on profitmaking. This has also led to confusion in the sector around its mission: is it to alleviate poverty and empower poor women or simply to provide the "unbanked" with access to formal sources of finance? This research considers the main debates in microfinance with regard to its mission and presents empirical evidence on the effectiveness of microfinance. The study is based on the Pakistani microfinance sector, which provides an ideal opportunity for a comparative analysis of two distinct models of microfinance – the nonprofit microfinance institutions (MFI) and the microfinance banks (MFB). The research compares the depth of outreach, mission, practice, and borrower experiences of MFIs and MFBs, employing a political economy framework. The data includes 140 interviews with policymakers, donors, senior, mid and low-level microfinance officers, and their clients; as well as observations of practitioner-client interactions, including the process of disbursement and collection, group meetings, and field visits with loan officers in urban Pakistan. It also comprises two district-level surveys: the microfinance outreach survey from the Pakistan Microfinance Network (PMN) and the Government of Pakistan's Social and Living Standards Survey (PSLM). The surveys are analyzed econometrically to test whether district-level socioeconomic differences affect patterns of outreach. This study broadens our understanding of the extent to which the local political economy shapes the outcomes of a market-based intervention, such as microfinance. It also provides an insight into the evolution of microfinance, specifically as framed by the global development discourse and subsequent public policy choices. Finally, the study provides an authoritative account of how institutional structure affects microfinance's effectiveness as a tool for poverty alleviation, empowerment and financial access.

Texto completo da fonteThere is a limited knowledge on the meanings, experiences, and perceptions of organizational members regarding performance appraisal and how the various experiences and perceptions are perceived to bear on organizational outcomes. With this qualitative study, I explored the experiences and perceptions of organizational personnel regarding performance appraisal systems and how these are perceived to bear on work outcomes. Using case study as research design, a detailed analysis of semi-structured interview involving organizational personnel (leaders, managers, and frontline employees) who lived in northeastern New York, and working in various disciplines and professions was conducted and recorded. NVivo software was used in generating the major thematic links and invariant constituents of the study. Results of the study revealed five significant themes: (a) essential descriptions of performance appraisal, (b) perceived rewards of performance appraisal, (c) differences and similarities of performance appraisal systems across different organizations, (d) perceived association of performance appraisal systems and work outcomes, and (e) recommended changes in performance appraisal systems. Employees who have positive experiences with the system associate performance appraisal with something equally beneficial to employees’ improvement and the operational performance of the organization. These employees reported experiences of motivation, loyalty, commitment, and productivity as they received their feedback. The study identified human resource development activities that could further achieve the real and genuine objectives of performance appraisal system.

Texto completo da fonteThe federal government provides an uncapped reimbursement of state Medicaid spending. In theory, states can use the federal Medicaid funds as a replacement for state funds or the federal funds, which take the form of a matching grant that reduces the relative price of Medicaid, can increase (or stimulate) spending on Medicaid with state-raised tax revenue. In the first dissertation paper, Subsidizing Medicaid Growth: The Impact of the Federal Reimbursement on State Medicaid Programs, I use a state panel data set from 1992 to 2006 to assess the impact of the federal reimbursement on the size of state Medicaid programs. I find that a one point increase in a state's Medicaid reimbursement percentage increases state per capita Medicaid spending between $5 and $16 and increases the percentage of the state's population receiving Medicaid benefits by 0.04 percent to 0.29 percent.
The first paper also utilizes a case study that shows significant growth in Alaska's Medicaid program after its effective federal Medicaid reimbursement increased 50 percent between 1998 and 1999. The large growth in Alaska's Medicaid program after this increase provides evidence that states respond to large increases in the federal Medicaid subsidy in a stimulative manner by increasing spending with state-raised revenue. Overall, the results in the first paper are consistent with the hypothesis that decentralization in the form of intergovernmental matching grants increases the size of government. I also find that states with wealthier and more liberal populations tend to have larger Medicaid programs and that states with Democratic legislatures tend to have more Medicaid beneficiaries than states with Republican legislatures all else equal.
Since 2008, states have experienced significant budgetary pressure; in large part, because of rising Medicaid enrollment due to the recession and weak recovery. Between 2009 and 2011, many states enacted health care provider taxes as a way to bring in additional revenue through the federal Medicaid reimbursement. Provider taxes are generally supported by health care providers since states often give providers an implicit or explicit guarantee of a return of at least as much funding through higher payment rates or supplemental payments. In the second dissertation paper, Impact of Hospital and Nursing Home Taxes on State Medicaid Spending, I assess the impact of the two largest provider taxes, the hospital tax and the nursing home tax, on state Medicaid expenditures using a panel dataset of 42 states from between 2007 and 2011. I find significantly larger Medicaid spending growth for hospitals in states that added hospital taxes and significantly larger Medicaid spending growth for nursing homes in states that added nursing home taxes within the first two years of the enactment of the tax. I also find some evidence that states with hospital taxes were able to increase their total Medicaid spending more than states without hospital taxes during the economic downturn and initial recovery period. This paper also contains evidence that nursing home taxes diverted Medicaid spending from home and community based services to nursing homes.
In the third dissertation paper, Statewide Health Impact of Tennessee's Medicaid Expansion, I utilize a quasi-experimental approach to assess the impact of a large statewide public health insurance expansion on access to health care services, health care utilization, and health outcomes. In 1994, Tennessee expanded its state Medicaid program, called TennCare, by about ten percent of the state's population. Along with a major Medicaid expansion, Tennessee increased government subsidies for individuals to purchase health insurance coverage and emphasized managed care. Using a difference-in-difference methodology with Tennessee's neighboring states as controls, I found that TennCare's impact on utilization was mixed as blood pressure and cholesterol checks increased but regular physician check-ups decreased relative to the surrounding region. Surprisingly, both self-reported health and mortality rates were less favorable in Tennessee relative to the control states after TennCare. Ultimately, the evidence in this paper suggests that health reform built around a significant public insurance expansion is likely to result in minimal, if any, overall health gains measured in the entire population, at least in the short run.
The final dissertation section summarizes the findings from the three dissertation papers, discusses the economic efficiency of the uncapped federal Medicaid reimbursement and state provider taxes, and makes several predictions related to the Medicaid expansion in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Texto completo da fonteFrom a theoretical perspective, throughout a reflection on the rigid separation between ends and means, freedom and necessity, the following thesis intends to investigate the possibilities and the limits for democratic creation inside productive relations that are under the rules of the reproduction sphere. From the empirical perspective, the worker´s self-management enterprises - that arose from the 90´s Brazilian labor´s world transformation context introduce moral elements into the labor relation in a contradictory way. What does come out of conflict between the management and political logics? What are the dilemmas posed by those experiences? Those questions are analysed in three dimensions: production relations; workers, and the socioeconomic context that selfmanagment enterprises are embeded in. As the discussion departes from the contradictions (internal and external) lived by the self-management enterprises, it shows the economic field and the conditions of efficiency as a socio-political construction.The last part of the text interrogates self-management enterprises and Solidary Economy emergence from the following crossroads: the relation between the creation of democratic spaces and the labor relations de-regulation process; theory and reality construction; technique and politic, and between survival and creative actions. To conclude, the thesis proposes that is the very fact that self-management enterprises introduces a discontinuity into the lives´ management order (non-political, non-human) that creates the potential to constitute democratic spaces that might, or might not, be accomplished.

Esta tese analisa a experiência da Secretaria Nacional de Economia Solidária - SENAES no campo da governança pública. Considera-se que a governança pública desponta como um arranjo institucional imprescindível para a operacionalização dos princípios democráticos, pois se refere a um tipo de gestão que favorece e reforça a participação de atores sociais nos processos de decisão e de formulação das políticas públicas. Rompendo com a concepção tradicional do Estado como núcleo exclusivo da formulação e implementação das políticas públicas, a governança pública se pauta em uma visão de Estado que reafirma os valores da democracia, da cidadania e do interesse público. Pressupõe, assim, a ampliação dos mecanismos de participação e decisão nas instâncias de deliberação do Estado e a incorporação de ações transparentes e compartilhadas. A pesquisa buscou identificar a capacidade propositiva e o poder de influência do Fórum Brasileiro de Economia Solidária - FBES nos processos de decisão e formulação das políticas públicas no campo da economia solidária; as disputas políticas, embates, confrontos e consensos estabelecidos entre a SENAES e o FBES nesse processo; e, a construção, por parte da SENAES, de um desenho institucional ou um tipo de gestão pública que favorece e reforça os processos participativos e a construção de política pública compartilhada. Pretendeu-se, assim, verificar se a SENAES tem desenvolvido uma experiência de governança pública. Em termos metodológicos, a forma escolhida para esse trabalho foi a pesquisa qualitativa, caracterizando-se como estudo de caso descritivo e interpretativo. Foram realizadas pesquisas bibliográfica e documental, assim como entrevistas semi-estruturadas, sendo sujeitos da pesquisa os atuais gestores da SENAES e membros do FBES. Os resultados apontaram uma significativa capacidade propositiva e poder de influência do FBES nos processos de decisão e formulação das políticas públicas na área da economia solidária. Apontaram, ainda, que a existência e explicitação dos conflitos ocorrem em um campo de ação política compartilhada, através de um desenho institucional ou, ainda, de um experimento de gestão que tem permitido a construção de uma política de participação democrática. This thesis examines the experience of the National Secretary of Solidary Economy - SENAES in the field of public governance. It is understood that the public governance dawns as an essential institutional arrangement for the operation of democratic principles, as it refers to a type of management that encourages and strengthens the participation of social individuals in decision-making and in the formulation of public policies. Breaking with the traditional concept of the State as an exclusive nucleus of the formulation and implementation of public policies, the public governance is guided by a vision of State that reaffirms the values of democracy, citizenship and public interest. It assumes the broadening of decision and participation mechanisms in the deliberation of the State and incorporation of transparent and shared actions. The research aimed to identify the capacity of suggestion and the influence of the Brazilian Forum of Solidary Economy - FBES in decision-making and formulation of public policies in the field of solidary economy; the political disputes, battles, clashes and consensus established between the SENAES and the FBES, and the construction, lead by the SENAES, of an institutional design or a type of governance that promotes and enhances the participation process and the construction of shared public policy. Through this work, it's checked if the SENAES has developed an expertise in public governance. In methodological terms, the format chosen for this work was the qualitative research, being characterized as a descriptive and interpretative case study. Bibliographic and documentary searches were conducted, as well as semi-structured interviews with the current managers of SENAES and members of the FBES. The results showed proactive and significant power of influence of the FBES in decision-making and formulation of public policies in the area of solidary economy. Also, it's pointed out that the existence and the disclosure of the conflicts occurs in an area of shared political action, through an institutional design, or a management experiment that has allowed the construction of a policy of democratic participation.

Texto completo da fonteThis study aims to analyze the developments that led to the current state of the Romanianjournalistic field, after the financial crisis of 2008, by which this professional environment fails to convince its actors of the viability of its principles. My main hypothesis is that the collision between two divergent value systems - the intersection of the neoliberal allogeneic model with local values and necessities - establishes a hybrid field integrating elements of both cultures without incorporating the sum of their elements. This hybrid field, characterized by a high degree of openness towards renegotiation, reinterpretation and restoration of the principles that guide journalism, also creates a certain anomic dimension of its actors. In order to establish the existence of the journalistic field in Romania after 2008, an analysis based on three main dimensions was envisaged: a first dimension would be the political rupture which imposed a reflection on the directions and choices of models in the new pluralist media market;; a second dimension identified is the profound technological change superimposed on this stage of understanding journalistic acts;; third, the financial crisis which began in 2008, which destabilized the journalistic environment in Romania. Our main discovery is that of the existence of double standards in the practice and in the evaluation of Romanian journalism by its actors:• An ideological contradiction at the macro level, i.e. institutions adhere to the model, but this is not the guiding principle of their approaches, which are mainly guided by the realities in place ;• At the micro level, the contradiction between the understanding of the model and the waythis model is enacted: a discrepancy between the argumentative level - with theunderstanding that the Western model is highly attractive - and the mode of action whereindividuals must comply with local customs and values, which are not in accordance with thesystem of reference to which they adhere

Texto completo da fonteThis dissertation examines the relationship between democracy and international economic ties. The effects of economic processes on domestic politics have long been a subject for debate in the literature: some authors argue that economic liberalization advances democracy, while others advocate that economic liberalization impedes democracy. I argue that both sides of the debate omitted an important factor in the analyses of trade ties and democracy. The empirical studies predominantly used the volumes of international trade, without analyzing the structural position of trade partners in the international political arena. I argue that it is not how much a country trades, but the kind of states it trades with that determines its democracy. I analyze the current theories of democracy and identify that the main weakness of these theories is the inability to incorporate international processes and globalization in the analysis of democratization. I show that World-Systems theory (WST) can improve current theories of democracy. I employ WST and a number of alternative theories to create theoretical models of democracy. I then discuss the relevance of the former Soviet states to WST and to the analysis of democracy. I further construct a panel data set and apply pooled time-series regression, using three indexes of democracy as the dependent variables and two sets of theoretically distinct control variables. I find a negative relationship between core-periphery trade and democracy, and a positive relationship between trade openness and democracy in the periphery, which supports my main argument that trade ties must be reexamined based on the structural position of the trade partners. Contrary to conventional application of WST, the structure of the core-periphery trade shows that the core uses its economic ties to politically exploit the periphery, not the other way around. Hence, international trade is identified as a major tool for the modern hegemonies to broaden their political influence. Lastly, I found that both within- and between-states sets of control variables had influential predictors, which points out that modern theories of democracy must be restructured to incorporate multiple international processes in the analysis of the domestic politics of a state.

Texto completo da fonteTitle: What is important knowledge in social studies- An analyse of opinions among teachers in social studies
The aim of this paper is to increase the awareness about how teachers in Social studies think about goals and substance in the subject. I also want to get a picture about what kinds of problems teacher’s experiences when teaching Social studies. My expectations told me that Social studies are complex to teach, because it derives from several university disciplines such as Political science, Economics, Sociology, Law and Geography, which I believe makes the subject harder to define and what to give priority to. Finally, I want to increase the awareness, if it seems to be any fundamental essence in Social studies as a subject.
To achieve my goals with this paper I have studied relevant literature about Social studies. I also made an investigation with seven teachers who teach Social studies.
The results of the investigation showed that political science is very wide and contains a lot of different areas. The basic view about Social studies varied among the investigations participants, however the majority thought that the subject should convey practical training skills and ought to, in some way, prepare students for later acts in life. The investigation also showed that the participants mainly focused on areas from Sociology and Political science and less often from Law, Geography and Economics. Finally, when it comes to the essence of the subject, the investigation showed that that democracy has a very special place. However, in what way the teachers work with and discuss democracy, vary.
Uppsatsens syfte är att öka kännedomen om hur samhällskunskapslärare tänker kring mål och innehåll i ämnet Samhällskunskap. Jag vill också få en bild av vilka problem, man kan uppleva som samhällskunskapslärare i sin undervisning i Samhällskunskap, då ämnet är väldigt komplext och härstammar från flera olika universitetsdiscipliner vilka är Statsvetenskap, Sociologi, Nationalekonomi, Rättskunskap och Samhälls/Kulturgeografi. Den varierande bakgrunden och mängden stoff kan, menar jag, eventuellt medföra stoffträngsel, prioriteringssvårigheter och att ämnet upplevs vara svårdefinierat. Slutligen vill jag få ökad kännedom om det verkar finnas någon grundläggande kärna i ämnet?
För att uppnå mina syften med uppsatsen studerar jag dels studerat relevant litteratur om Samhällskunskap både ur ett beskrivande och problematiserande perspektiv. Jag genomför även en undersökning, i form av en enkät med öppna svarsalternativ, som besvaras av sju verksamma gymnasielärare i Samhällskunskap.
Undersökningens resultat visar att Samhällskunskap är vitt och mångfacetterande, då undersökningsdeltagarna lyfter fram många och olika tankar kring vad som är viktigt stoff i ämnet. Synen på målen med Samhällskunskap varierar hos undersökningsdeltagarna även om majoriteten lyfter fram att Samhällskunskap skall innefatta färdighets och förtrogenhetskunskap och att man som elev skall förberedas för senare agerande i livet. Man kan utifrån undersökningen även se att de områden och begrepp som lärarna främst lyfter fram härstammar från universitetsdisciplinerna Sociologi och Statsvetenskap. Däremot lyfts mer sällan begrepp från Rättskunskap, Samhälls/Kulturgeografi och Nationalekonomi fram vilket tyder på ”stoff prioritering” i en viss riktning. När det gäller ämnets kärna kan man se att demokrati verkar ha en särskild plats inom ämnet, på vilket sätt, varierar dock. Demokratins särskilda plats harmonierar dock väl med de intentioner man har haft och fortfarande har med Samhällskunskap som ämne.

MARNOCO e SOUSA (1869-1916), do ponto de vista da Sociologia Económica. Partindo da sua vida e da sua obra, procuramos em primeiro lugar delinear o estado do ensino das Ciências Sociais na Faculdade de Direito da Universidade de Coimbra naquela época, para em seguida pesquisar a influência que Marnoco e Sousa teria sofrido, do ponto de vista metodológico e doutrinal do seu tempo. Partimos da ideia central da sua obra: "não pode haver ciência económica sem sociologia económica", e da análise sociológica muito aprofundada que faz ao "fenómeno económico", para analisarmos a troca em Marnoco e Sousa do ponto de vista sociológico.
The main objective of this thesis is an analysis of the economic work of the jurist and professor of Economics and Law in Law School of Coimbra University, J. F. MARNOCO e SOUSA (1869-1916), under an Economic Sociological point of view. Taking up his life and work, we search first the state of Social Sciences teaching in Law School of Coimbra University at his time; second we look at his methodological and doctrinal influence. Departing from SOUSA's central idea: "there is no economic science without economic sociology", and his deep study of "economic phenomenon", we analyse the economic trade in Marnoco e Sousa's work from a sociological perspective.

Discuto nesta pesquisa a Economia Solidária e as Finanças Solidárias no Brasil, propondo um estudo de caso do Banco Comunitário União Sampaio e da Agência Popular Solano Trindade, localizados na periferia da zona sul da cidade de São Paulo, bairro Jardim Maria Sampaio, mais especificamente no interior da Associação de Mulheres do Campo Limpo e Adjacências, ou União Popular de Mulheres do Campo Limpo (UPM), como também é conhecida. Exponho as estratégias da comunidade diante das dificuldades no acesso a determinados serviços da rede bancária convencional e a subsídios de produtoras artísticas comerciais, além dos impactos que tais estratégias promovem na vida dos moradores da região. Assim sendo, o objetivo geral desta pesquisa é investigar e analisar o alcance e os limites de um banco comunitário e de uma agência popular, mais especificamente a experiência supracitada, no que tange às transformações na vida privada e comunitária dos moradores do bairro Jardim Maria Sampaio, à formação de uma identidade de grupo e de classe e à articulação de ações coletivas e formativas. De modo geral, para contextualizar a problemática desta pesquisa, recupero, brevemente, o panorama brasileiro e internacional de crise do sistema financeiro, no início do século XXI, e suas implicações na relação entre centro e periferia da economia mundial. Descrevo as ações do governo brasileiro contra a estagnação econômica, envolvendo o sistema bancário público e privado, e reflito sobre as últimas reformas bancárias brasileiras. Abordo a maneira como projetos de bancos comunitários e moedas sociais podem devolver liquidez e estimular a circulação de capital nas regiões periféricas empobrecidas, potencializando o desenvolvimento local. Sob esta reflexão e diante do atual contexto de crise, reflito sobre duas possíveis alternativas à atual crise do capital: reformar as políticas econômicas existentes, oportunizando a recuperação do atual sistema dominante, ou investigar e aplicar projetos que promovam a transição da velha para uma nova forma de sociedade, entendendo a transição como o processo em que uma sociedade, com uma nova forma de ser social, se constitui a partir da sociedade anterior, carregando, contudo, o peso do passado ainda não totalmente superado (MARX, 2011). A premissa que coloca a Economia Solidária e as Finanças Solidárias como projetos de superação não é unânime. Acreditar que elas, por si só, podem transformar o atual sistema é tropeçar em barreiras, dispostas nos campos teórico, metodológico e político, que ainda necessitam ser superadas. No entanto, considero que tanto a Economia Solidária quanto as Finanças Solidárias podem contribuir para a reflexão acerca do projeto de sociedade que queremos defender e implementar neste processo de transição, agregando-o, inclusive, à disputa por hegemonia.
Abstract: I discuss in this research Solidarity Economics and Solidarity Finances in Brazil, through a case study of the Community Bank Sampaio Union and the People's Agency Solano Trindade, located on the outskirts of the southern region of the city of São Paulo, in the neighborhood Jardim Maria Sampaio, specifically in the Women's Association of Campo Limpo and adjacencies, or Popular Union of Women in Campo Limpo (UPM), as it is also known. I expose the strategies of the community in the face of difficulties in accessing certain services of the conventional banking system and subsidies of commercial artistic producers, in addition to the impacts that these strategies promote to the lives of local residents. Therefore, the objective of this research is to investigate and analyze the scope and limits of a community bank and a popular agency, specifically the aforementioned experience, regarding changes in the private and community life of the residents of the neighborhood of Jardim Maria Sampaio, the construction of a group and class identities and the articulation of collective and formation actions. To contextualize the problematic of this research, I expose, briefly, the Brazilian and international panorama of the financial system crisis in the early twenty-first century and its implications on the relationship between center and periphery of the world's economy. I describe the Brazilian government's actions against economic stagnation, involving its public and private banking system, and reflect on the latest Brazilian banking reforms. I discuss how projects of community banks and social currencies may return liquidity and stimulate the circulation of capital in impoverished outlying regions, enhancing local development. Through the discussion outlined above, and given the current context of crisis, I reflect on two possible alternatives to the current crisis of the capitalist system: reforming the existing economic policies, providing opportunities for the recovery of the current dominant system, or investigating and implementing projects that promote the transition from the old to a new form of society, understanding the transition as a process in which a society, with a new way of social being, constitutes itself from the previous society, carrying, however, the weight of the past not yet fully overcome (Marx, 2011). The premise that puts Solidarity Economics and Solidarity Finances as projects for overcoming capitalism is not unanimous. Believing that they, alone, can transform the current system is tripping over barriers - theoretical, methodological and political - that still need to be overcome. I conclude, however, that both Solidarity Economics and Solidarity Finances can contribute to our reflections on the design of society we want to defend and implement in this transition process, aggregating it to the dispute for hegemony.

Esta dissertação aborda o tema da economia solidária e da desigualdade econômica. A desigualdade econômica é um tema amplamente debatido na ciência econômica e social brasileira, mas, ao mesmo tempo, um dos mais controversos. Se as desigualdades tendem sempre a se reproduzir, medidas de crescimento que não levem em conta estas próprias desigualdades sociais já existentes, como a desqualificação, ou a oportunidade, serão, ainda assim, excludentes. A economia solidária, por sua vez, é um tema que vem recebendo cada vez mais atenção, seja no campo acadêmico, seja no de políticas, principalmente desde a criação da Secretária Nacional de Economia Solidária (SENAES), inserida dentro do Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego (MTE) em 2003. Através da SENAES foi finalizado em 2007 o Primeiro Mapeamento Nacional de Economia Solidária no Brasil. Os dados deste mapeamento compõem o Sistema Nacional de Informações em Economia Solidária (SIES), primeira grande fonte de pesquisa quantitativa sobre o tema no Brasil. Como objetivo principal esta pesquisa visa oferecer uma contribuição à análise dos efeitos econômicos proporcionados pela economia solidária para reduzir os índices de desigualdade socioeconômicos no Brasil. Além disso, analisa a construção social do campo da economia solidária à partir de conceitos-chave da NSE como redes sociais, enraizamento, racionalidade, agente econômico, interesse, solidarismo. Os resultados apontam para a potencialidade da economia solidária no combate às desigualdades, tanto internamente - nas células produtivas - quanto externamente, promovendo uma parcela da população na geração de trabalho e renda. Como política pública tem efeitos positivos na diminuição das desigualdades, mesmo ainda tendo grandes desigualdades internas pelas diferentes formas de organização. Como outra economia, a economia solidária, não configura um outro mercado ou outra economia - inserindo-se dentro da economia capitalista -, mas outra forma de produção. A relação entre seus agentes dá mais como movimento, na forma de capital social e nas disputas por espaço nas esferas política, que influem, muitas vezes, nas oportunidades dos empreendimentos.
Abstract: This thesis addresses the issue of economic solidarity and economic inequality. Economic inequality is a widely debated in the Brazilian economic and social science, but at the same time, one of the most controversial. If inequalities tend to reproduce ever, growth rates that do not take into account these very inequalities that already exist, such as disqualification, or the opportunity will still exclusive. The solidarity economy, in turn, is a topic that has received increasing attention, both in the academic field, whether in policy, especially since the creation of the National Secretary of Solidarity Economy (SENAES), inserted within the Ministry of Labour and (MTE) in 2003. The national mapping database resulted in the National Information System on Solidarity Economy (SIES), the first major source of quantitative research on the subject in Brazil. Based on previous studies this work examines the data from national mapping, addressing also the question of their internal inequalities. The main objective of this research is to provide a contribution to the analysis of economic effects provided by the social economy to reduce levels of socioeconomic inequality in Brazil. It also examines the social construction of the field of social economy from the key concepts of social networks such as NSE, rooting, rationality, economic agents, interest, solidarism. The results indicate the potential of economic solidarity in the fight against inequalities, both internally - in production cells - and externally, promoting a portion of the population in the generation of employment and income. As public policy has positive effects on reducing inequalities, even still having great internal inequalities between different forms of organization. As another economy, social economy, not set up another market or another economy - inserting themselves into the capitalist economy - but another form of production. The relationship between your staff and gives more movement in the form of capital and the disputes over the political space, which influence, often in the opportunities of the enterprises.

Texto completo da fonteEssay 2: Although economic circumstances have been argued to be a major determining factor of attitudes to redistribution, there is little well identified evidence at the individual level. Utilizing a unique dataset, with detailed individual information, provides new and convincing evidence on the link between economic circumstances and demand for redistribution (in the form of social benefits). The Swedish National Election Studies are constructed as a rotating survey panel, which makes it possible to estimate the causal effect of economic changes. The empirical analysis shows that individuals who experience a job loss become considerably more supportive of redistribution. Yet, attitudes to redistribution return to their initial level as economic prospects improve, suggesting that the effect is only temporary. Although a job loss also changes attitudes to the political parties, the probability to vote for the left-wing is not affected.
Essay 3: A well-functioning labor market is characterized by job reallocations, but the individual costs can be vast. We examine if individual's ability to cope with such adjustments depends on their cognitive and non-cognitive skills (measured by the enlistment tests). Since selection into unemployment is a function of skills, we solve the endogeneity of a job loss by using the exogenous labor market shock provided by the military base closures in Sweden following the end of the Cold War. We find, first, that, on average, labor earnings decrease and unemployment and labor-related benefits increase for those affected. Second, there are heterogeneous treatment effects in terms of unemployment; the treated individuals with high non-cognitive and cognitive skills face lower unemployment effects than the treated individuals with low non-cognitive and cognitive skills.
