During the past decade, the Mexican government has put into place a strong policy framework for the promotion of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurship.   It has created a sequence of policy support running from the development of new entrepreneurs, micro-enterprises, SMEs and gazelles  to the stimulation of linkages between SMEs and so-called 'tractor' firms.  New co-ordination arrangements have also been created across government ministries and among national and state governments to increase the coherence and integration of their  programmes.  This publication takes stock of this progress and assesses the opportunities for further strengthening of the Mexican economy through SMEs and entrepreneurship.  It shows that the framework conditions are generally good in Mexico, and have improved in recent years thanks to reforms such as regulatory simplification, the expansion of the national loan guarantee programme, and the inclusion of the micro-enterprise sector as a target of the public support system.  At the same time, more can be done to shift entrepreneurs into the formal business sector and to develop more medium-sized companies able to innovate and trade internationally. There is also scope to improve the process of delivering the highest quality and most relevant policy support to beneficiary enterprises by simplifying the rules and operations of the SME Fund, developing the professional capacities of the staff and consultants who provide business development services and using available company-level data for the purposes of policy evaluation.

Depuis les années 1970, la pornographie s'organise comme un monde professionnel, se fixant pour tâche de représenter les désirs des consommateurs, mobilisant des savoir-faire spécifiques pour y parvenir. Alors que l'influence de ces images ou la violence qui les caractériserait sont souvent au centre des débats, ce livre, en s'appuyant sur une enquête de terrain au sein la production pornographique française, pose d'autres questions : comment les pornographes parviennent-ils à circonscrire un espace pour leur activité ? Quelles formes prennent les relations de travail dans un contexte de professionnalisation de la sexualité ? Comment s'opèrent les partages entre sexualité féminine et masculine, homosexualité et hétérosexualité, et pourquoi sont-ils ici un enjeu majeur ? Mettant en marché les fantasmes, mobilisant les désirs des actrices et des acteurs, reposant sur des formes spécifiques d'exploitation, le monde de la pornographie permet de saisir certaines évolutions contemporaines du capitalisme, et leurs articulations avec les rapports de genre et de sexualité. Il offre également l'occasion de faire de l'hétérosexualité un objet d'enquête à part entière. Alors que réalisateurs et producteurs se donnent pour tâche de saisir une multiplicité de fantasmes, ils définissent leur métier comme masculin, mais aussi comme hétérosexuel. L'enquête met en évidence une circonscription paranoïaque de l'homosexualité masculine et les contradictions au principe de l'hétérosexualité, dans lesquelles les pornographes sont pris.

"Examines the importance of cultural meaning in the creation and utilization of economic value. Based on case-studies from Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, the authors demonstrate that micro-scale entrepreneurship is intertwined with prevailing conceptions, moralities and habituations in the entrepreneurs' social milieu. More specifically, the volume argues that meaning-making is integral to economic opportunity; that economic actors' market agency is shaped by cultural experiences; that entrepreneurs' prototypical "individualism" is socially contingent; and that cultural meanings channel economic value among economic and social domains. Addressing core questions about "embedding", the authors suggest theoretical convergences between economic anthropology and economic sociology"--
