The age of dualization : the changing face of inequality in deindustrializing societies
No full textPoverty, increased inequality, and social exclusion are back on the political agenda, not only as a consequence of the Great Recession of 2008, but also because of a seemingly structural trend towards increased inequality in advanced industrial societies that has persisted since the 1970s. Policies in labor markets, social policy, and political representation are strongly linked in the creation, widening, and deepening of insider-outsider divides--a process known as dualization. While it is certainly not the only driver of increasing inequality, its development across multiple domains makes dualization one of the most important current trends affecting developed societies. The comparative perspective of this book provides insights into why Nordic countries witness lower levels of insider-outsider divides, whereas in continental, liberal and southern welfare states, they are more likely to constitute a core characteristic of the political economy. Most importantly, the comparisons presented in this book point to the crucial importance of politics and political choice in driving and shaping the social outcomes of deindustrialization. While increased structural labor market divides can be found across all countries, governments have a strong responsibility in shaping the distributive consequences of these labor market changes. Insider-outsider divides are ultimately the result of political choice. A landmark publication, this volume is geared for faculty and graduate students of economics, political science, social policy, and sociology, as well as policymakers concerned with increasing inequality in a period of deep economic and social crisis.

Structural change and the politics of dualization
No full textPoverty, increased inequality, and social exclusion are back on the political agenda in Western Europe, not only as a consequence of the Great Recession of 2008, but also because of a seemingly structural trend towards increased inequality in advanced industrial societies that has persisted since the 1970s. How can we explain this increase in inequalities? Policies in labor markets, social policy, and political representation are strongly linked in the creation, widening, and deepening of insider-outsider divides—a process known as dualization. While it is certainly not the only driver of increasing inequality, the encompassing nature of its development across multiple domains makes dualization one of the most important current trends affecting developed societies. However, the extent and forms of dualization vary greatly across countries. The comparative perspective of this book provides insights into why Nordic countries witness lower levels of insider-outsider divides, whereas in continental, liberal and southern welfare states, they are more likely to constitute a core characteristic of the political economy. Most importantly, the comparisons presented in this book point to the crucial importance of politics and political choice in driving and shaping the social outcomes of deindustrialization. While increased structural labor market divides can be found across all countries, governments have a strong responsibility in shaping the distributive consequences of these labor market changes. Insider-outsider divides are not a straightforward consequence of deindustrialization, but rather the result of political choice
National sovereignty vs. international cooperation: policy choices in trade‐off situations
No full textThe trade‐off between international cooperation gains and national sovereignty has become increasingly salient in recent years. This paper examines how voters assess this trade‐off in Switzerland, focusing on the choice between the economic benefits of EU integration versus sovereign immigration control. Using survey data, we identify voters for whom this choice is not clear, either because they are cross‐pressured (favouring Swiss‐EU bilateral treaties, while opposing increased immigration) or because they do not have clear preferences. We show that these are sizeable groups within the Swiss electorate and that in particular the potentially cross‐pressured mainly consist of politically mobilized, high‐income voters, supportive of right‐wing parties. Among the potentially cross‐pressured and voters with indistinct preferences, leaning towards the SVP strongly predicts a preference for immigration control over sustaining cooperation with the EU. Beyond this, our findings suggest that political variables have stronger explanatory power than individual‐level economic vulnerabilities in predicting choice
論<<飢餓間奏曲>>之永無止盡的飢餓
No full text碩士2008年諾貝爾文學獎獲得者勒‧克萊齊奧是一位多產的法國作家。迄今為止，他已創作了五十多部作品。本文以其在2008年出版的小說《飢餓間奏曲》為研究對象，旨在探討小說中“飢餓”之意涵。圍繞“飢餓”這一主題，筆者將以遠及近，層層深入分析作品，試圖來探尋作者想要在小說中呈現的飢餓。本文由前言、正文及結語三部分組成。前言部分將對本文的研究動機與目的，目前國內外對這部小說的研究情況進行綜述。正文部分分為：作者作品介紹，小說結構分析和小說人物關係中的“飢餓”三大章節。第一章作者作品介紹，筆者將首先對《飢餓間奏曲》的作者勒‧克萊齊奧的生平做一個介紹。其次將作家創作生涯五十幾部作品按主題分類。鑒於《飢餓間奏曲》是一部具有自傳性質的小說，第一章的最後一個小節將試圖尋找小說中作者真實的生活線索。第二章小說結構分析分為兩個小節，筆者將根據小說故事套故事的結構特色，分別探討小說的總結構和主要故事情節的音樂結構。本文的最後一章小說人物關係是重點章節。筆者試圖透過研究小說中五組人物關係來探討“飢餓”的意涵，以及“飢餓”在人物關係中扮演的角色。結語部分將總結勒‧克萊齊奧對於“飢餓”的理解和作者藉由《飢餓間奏曲》所想要表達的主題，並進而提出筆者對於“飢餓”的一些個人看法。The Nobel Prize laureate in Literature in 2008, Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio wrote more than fifty books. I chose his novel Ritournelle de la faim as the object of study in order to find the meaning of“hunger”. This thesis includes three parts: the introduction, three chapters and the conclusion. In the introduction, I explain my motivation, the problematics of this research and the objective of this study. I examine also the comments and the researchs of Ritournelle de la faim. The three chapters of the thesis are: Le Clezio and his training, the structure of the novel and the hunger in relation to the characters.In the first chapter, I introduce the author before making a classification of the three main themes in the works of Le Clezio. Then I enumerate the indices corresponding to the real life of the writer before I finish the first chapter. In the second chapter, I analyze the structure of the novel in two steps: the whole text, and the main story which coincides with a music Bolero. I try to find the meaning of“hunger”in the third chapter by classifying the five genres of relationship among the characters according to their“hunger”.For my conclusion, I show the explanations of Le Clezio and my thinking of the meaning of "hunger".TABLE DES MATIERES
