The economy underwent a deep recession with high levels of inflation and serious consequences for wages, employment and the daily life of the population. The country retained one of the largest external debts of any Third-World country, with deeply harmful social costs for all the population (increased poverty, dangerous health conditions, swelling shanty towns, and the growth of prostitution, illiteracy and urban and rural violence). In consequence, the conditions for the reproduction of the workforce have deteriorated and undergone major changes. Falls in wage levels have reduced the quality of life for the population requiring them to seek out new survival strategies. If it is clear that the Brazilian external debt, with its associated consequences of internal indebtedness, penalizes men and women, it is equally clear that it is women who are most affected by the lack of adequate public services and by the general crisis of reproduction. This being the case, this essay seeks to describe some of the changes which have occurred in the work and living conditions of women, particularly in the urban sector, and to outline some of the strategies invented by women to confront the current social situation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101034,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography Quarterly","volume":"9 4","pages":"Pages 415-423"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0260-9827(90)90037-B","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87137911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They failed to see that in many cultures, such as those of Aboriginal Australians, women held significant political as well as social and economic power. Whilst there is enormous diversity in Aboriginal culture across Australia, some generalizations can be made both about the traditional scene and the contemporary one.</p><p>In pre-European times Aboriginal women played very important economic roles in their societies. Unlike European women they did not have to depend upon their men folk to feed either themselves or their children. Indeed in some areas the men were often absent for long periods of time on ceremonial business. The women also had important roles to play in the religious and political spheres, these two being closely interdependent. In many cases knowledge and the resulting power was gender-specific. Thus there were men's sites and there were women's sites, and the traditional owners, whether they be female or male, had sole decision-making powers over those areas.</p><p>Today the variation in the position of women in the Aboriginal society is enormous. In some southern communities where little traditional knowledge remains, women often hold important leadership positions—albeit quite different from those of the northern women in the more traditional areas.</p><p>At the macro-scale of Australian politics, Aboriginal women have been largely ignored. Their past has been misinterpreted and their present power down-played. When Aboriginal representatives are sought by government authorities it is the men who are perceived as the leaders. This runs counter to the position at the micro-level where both women and men hold political power, the determination being the place or the situation rather than the gender.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101034,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography Quarterly","volume":"9 4","pages":"Pages 381-395"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0260-9827(90)90035-9","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83246551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is argued that conceptualizations based on the concept of ‘collective consumption’ have severe shortcomings for the study of childcare provision, not least among which is the fact that most children are cared for through ‘non-organized’ modes of childcare in which the state is not directly involved. Yet it remains essential to develop a theoretically-informed understanding of the different ways that childcare can be provided—a conceptualization in which the wider social policy environment is related to the particularities of local situations—because access to childcare can be an important determinant of parents' employment opportunities and family living standards. Moreover, access can be differentiated not only by class but also by its intersection with ethnicity and family structure. The childcare question needs to be resituated in the larger context of the relationship between economic restructuring and the reshaping of productive work. The reconceptualization developed here is used to explore modes of provision and access to childcare in Montréal in the context of the recent history of public policy and political struggles around this issue in the Province of Quebec.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101034,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography Quarterly","volume":"9 4","pages":"Pages 353-380"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0260-9827(90)90034-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76209400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study is based on participant observation and on detailed examination of minutes and material collected by the boundary commission serving as an advisory body to the Minister of Interior. The analysis of the conflict shows that structural social divisions and political processes tipped the balance of power in the country and triggered the boundary conflict. Basically, the conflict signifies a process of power-building in the urban periphery. The claims of the peripheral towns, essentially based on social justice, were checked by a combination of vested political interests, legal-bureaucratic constraints and prevailing forms of knowledge. The latter are manifested in some basic assumptions as to what a city is. In this paper, the considerations against and for boundary change have been translated into operational criteria. These criteria have been grouped into four categories: efficiency, effectiveness, social justice and legal bureaucratic constraints. Based on these criteria, a hierarchy of solutions to the conflict has been suggested. Due to legal-bureaucratic considerations the second best solution of maintaining the <em>status quo</em> was opted for by the boundary commission.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101034,"journal":{"name":"Political Geography Quarterly","volume":"9 3","pages":"Pages 267-283"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0260-9827(90)90027-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85693948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
