Abstract

This book combines the human development approach and innovation economics in order to explore the effects that structural economic change has on human development. While economic diversification can provide valuable new social choices and capabilities, it also tends to lead to more complex decision processes and changes to the set of capabilities required by people to self-determine their future. Within this process of structural transformation, social networks are crucial for accessing information and social support, but networks can also be a root cause of exclusion and inequality

Abstract

"Economists occupy leading positions in many different sectors including central and private banks, multinational corporations, the state and the media, as well as serving as policy consultants on everything from health to the environment and security. Power and Influence of Economists explores the interconnected relationship between power, knowledge and influence which has led economics to be both a source and beneficiary of widespread power and influence. The contributors to this book explore the complex and diverse methods and channels that economists have used to exert and expand their influence from different disciplinary and national perspectives. Four different analytical views on the role of power and economics are taken: first, the role of economic expert discourses as power devices for the formation of influential expertise; second, the logics and modalities of governmentality that produce power/knowledge apparatuses between science and society; third, economists as involved in networks between academia, politics and the media; and forth, economics considered as a social field, including questions of legitimacy and unequal relations between economists based on the detention of various capitals. The volume includes case studies on a variety of national configurations of economics, such as the US, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, Mexico and Brazil, as well as international spaces and organisations such as the IMF. This book provides innovative research perspectives for students and scholars of heterodox economics, cultural political economy, sociology of professions, network studies, and the social studies of power, discourse and knowledge.

Abstract

Nos sociétés développées vieillissent. Les conséquences de ce phénomène ont jusqu'à présent surtout été examinées sous le prisme des retraites et des réformes qu'il conviendrait d'engager pour assurer leur pérennité. Vision extrêmement réductrice. L'allongement de la vie conjugué au vieillissement affectent la société tout entière dans ses différentes dimensions. Nos façons de travailler, de couvrir les risques, de concevoir les rapports entre les générations et de répartir les temps sociaux sur le parcours de vie en sont profondément transformées. Comment les différents pays développés font-ils face à ce défi ? Ce livre montre, à partir de comparaisons internationales, que le défi posé par le vieillissement des populations n'est pas tant celui des retraites que celui de l'emploi des salariés qui avancent en âge. D'un pays à l'autre, les différenciations des trajectoires professionnelles en seconde partie de carrière sont frappantes. Entre les quinquagénaires japonais, suédois ou français, quel contraste ! Aux deux premiers, l'insertion sur le marché du travail jusqu'à un âge avancé ; au second, la fragilisation et la relégation précoce. L'ouvrage dresse le bilan très diversifié de la participation au marché du travail des actifs après 55 ans. Il propose une analyse macro-sociologique des politiques publiques et de leurs incidences. Notamment, il fait la lumière sur les manières dont celles ci définissent les salariés avançant en âge, fixent leurs statuts dans l'emploi ou dans la protection sociale, puis construisent des "cultures de l'âge". Une analyse micro-sociologique examine également, dans différents pays, les comportements des entreprises en matière de gestion de l'âge. Bref, il traite de questions constituant des enjeux cruciaux de connaissance, afin que les sociétés développées sachent faire du vieillissement des populations une opportunité et non une catastrophe. Ce livre s'adresse aussi bien aux décideurs politiques, aux professionnels s'intéressant aux politiques publiques comparées, aux acteurs de l'entreprise, qu'aux étudiants et chercheurs en sciences sociales. Finalement, il concerne tous ceux qui s'interrogent sur le problème fondamental du vieillissement de nos sociétés.

Apart from traditional journal articles, the journal welcomes short opinion pieces or research notes, interviews, staged debates, or indeed longer than normal journal articles.

Abstract

In diesem Open-Access-Buch wird untersucht, warum sich wohlhabende Gesellschaften merklich im Ausmaß sozialer Probleme wie z. B. Kriminalität oder mangelnde Wahlbeteiligung unterscheiden. In einer makrosoziologischen Untersuchung von 40 wohlhabenden Ländern über den Zeitraum 1990 bis 2020 werden neben der im Forschungsfeld dominierenden Spirit-Level-Theorie, welche auf Einkommensungleichheit fokussiert, vier alternative Erklärungsansätze herangezogen: Wohlstand, ethnische Fraktionalisierung, soziales Misstrauen und das gesellschaftliche Werteklima. In den Ergebnissen der Quer- und Längsschnittanalysen zeigt sich kein Beleg für einen zentralen Erklärungsmechanismus. Vielmehr beeinflussen verschiedene Determinanten bestimmte soziale Probleme unterschiedlich stark, wobei sich Unterschiede im Wohlstandsniveau als stärkster Prädiktor herausstellen. Die Studie zeigt somit, dass die Gestaltung einer guten Gesellschaft nicht allein eine Frage der Einkommensverteilung ist. Der Autor Marcus Gercke ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter in der Makrosoziologie an der Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte sind die Folgen sozialer Ungleichheit, soziale Probleme und Nachhaltigkeit.
