We use data from five waves of the Demographic and Health Survey and the Survey on Income and Living Conditions to show that son preference results in differential stopping behaviours and shorter birth spacing. Despite many public reforms promoting gender equality in Turkey, women and children are put at risk in the quest for a son. This result holds in all regions, in both urban and rural areas, and across the socio-economic spectrum.","PeriodicalId":46832,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Development Studies-Revue Canadienne D Etudes Du Developpement","volume":"15 1","pages":"474 - 492"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91319377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the privatisation of transport and the regulation of motor parks transferred from local governments to NURTW, the union has been able to expand the power of unionist leaders who have developed new managerial techniques to increase their own profits. The NURTW case reflects the adaptation of neoliberal norms within a union at the expense of its workers. The article suggests that union power over workers is as necessary a field of research as the recent renewal on power resources approach exploring the capacity of unions to empower workers.","PeriodicalId":46832,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Development Studies-Revue Canadienne D Etudes Du Developpement","volume":"55 1","pages":"97 - 112"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80174881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It argues that discourses of Zambian union corruption convolved national political history, shifting moral economies and global responses to organised labour’s disempowerment; obfuscating the structural causes of low wages and under-development. Semiotically created in comparison to corrupt unions were shareholder-driven, economically rational corporations. In problematising the naturalisation of these actors’ economic choices, the article reconceptualises their actions through exploring negotiations over their responsibilities between workers, employers and the state. It argues that in these negotiations narratives of shareholder primacy and Corporate Social Responsibility emboldened claims for high profits, low wages and minimal tax takes; while a self-reinforcing perception of corruption lowered workers’ expectations of what could be achieved through collective action.","PeriodicalId":46832,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Development Studies-Revue Canadienne D Etudes Du Developpement","volume":"628 1","pages":"39 - 57"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86687114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Neoliberal experience in these countries was marked by continuing authoritarianism, challenging the view that economic liberalisation would lead to political democratisation. One of the most important areas of neoliberal restructuring has been labour markets. In order to achieve this, struggles over organised labour were of vital importance. Dismantling the power of dissident labour unions through coercive measures and containing other sections of organised labour through authoritarian corporatist relations has been crucial in these cases.","PeriodicalId":46832,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Development Studies-Revue Canadienne D Etudes Du Developpement","volume":"25 1","pages":"131 - 150"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87522085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data show that shrimp aquaculture has brought greater inequality in the distribution of land, while generating more employment and economic opportunity and creating a more equitable distribution of income than rice farming. This study suggests that processes of agrarian transition can shape social relations around land and labour in divergent ways, due to differences in the nature of export commodities and their production.","PeriodicalId":46832,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Development Studies-Revue Canadienne D Etudes Du Developpement","volume":"36 1","pages":"575 - 592"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88815051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

En effet, le vaste écosystème de la communauté de pratique des humanitaires et d’organisations non gouvernementales et internationales tentent, avec plus ou moins de succès, à anticiper les crises, et à fournir des services de protection aux populations. Mais l’humanitaire ne peut rester anachronique des débats qui transforment les sociétés. En effet, l’humanitaire évolue au rythme des débats et a été déstabilisé suite au phénomène #MeToo en 2018 (Riley 2021) ainsi qu’au mouvement Black Lives Matter au courant de l’été 2020 (Paige 2021). Ces débats auront confronté les travailleurs humanitaires au fait que les structures de pouvoir de l’aide sont fondamentalement asymétriques et coloniales, une dimension qui a été peu débattue auparavant (Paige 2021). Parallèlement, l’humanitaire a été aussi mise à rude épreuve ces dernières années avec les effets des changements climatiques (Tozier de la Poterie et al. 2022) qui frappent les régions pauvres comme riches, mettant sous tension un équilibre planétaire fragile, et forçant simultanément des opérations domestiques et internationales. C’est dans ce contexte que la pandémie de COVID-19 est survenue. Évidemment, les conséquences réelles de la pandémie dans le monde ne sont pas encore bien comprises et des années de recherche multidisciplinaire seront nécessaires pour en saisir les impacts, notamment sur les régions vulnérables en ce qui a trait à l’accès aux soins de santé et plus généralement dans l’exacerbation des écarts de richesse. Néanmoins, on sait déjà que la pandémie de COVID-19 aura largement augmenté le nombre de crises humanitaires et de personnes touchées. En effet, la pandémie a aggravé les crises existantes, mais a aussi été un vecteur significatif de besoins humanitaires dans plusieurs autres pays. Avec la fermeture soudaine des frontières, l’accès humanitaire a été paralysé, et les populations en déplacement se sont souvent heurtées à des barrières et ne pouvaient quitter des régions où elles sont menacées. Les données recueillies dans le plus récent rapport du Global Humanitarian Assistance Report 2021 démontrent que plus de 243 millions de personnes vivant dans 75 pays ont des besoins humanitaires urgents, en comparaison avec 225 millions dans 65 pays en 2019.

The scope for mobilising substantial domestic resources is limited, while public-private partnerships and blended finance failed to mobilise promised finance. Borrowing from central banks remains the only viable option for financing green transformation. The conventional arguments against such borrowing, e.g. growth retarding acceleration inflation or macroeconomic instability do not have sound theoretical or empirical basis. However, democratic oversights are needed against fiscal abuse to ensure productive utilisation of borrowed funds. A high degree of coordination between fiscal and monetary authorities is also essential.","PeriodicalId":46832,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Development Studies-Revue Canadienne D Etudes Du Developpement","volume":"1 1","pages":"430 - 453"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2022-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89607981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
