Linguistic Human Rights (LHR) is a fast growing new area of study combining the principles of national and international law with the study of language as a central dimension of ethnicity. Implementation of these principles is aimed at ensuring that no state or society violates these basic rights. This path breaking study broadens our knowledge of the important role of language in minority rights and in social and political struggles for LHRs. Exploring the interactions of linguistic diversity, biodiversity, the free market and human rights, the contributors present case studies to highlight such issues as Kurdish satellite TV attempting to create a virtual state on the air through trying to achieve basic LHR’s for Kurds in Turkey; the implementation of LHRs in the Baltic states; language rights activism in Canada; the spread of English as an international language; and the obstacles met in education by Roma and the Deaf in Hungary because of lack of appropriate LHRs. Language: A Right and a Resource is a valuable multi-disciplinary text which can be used in a variety of different areas of study in the legal profession, linguistics, cultural and political studies.

This paper uses high-frequency phone survey data from Ethiopia, Malawi, Nigeria, and Uganda to analyze the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on work (including wage employment, self-employment, and farm work) and income, as well as heterogeneity by gender, family composition, education, age, pre-COVID19 industry of work, and between the rural and urban sectors. The paper links phone survey data collected throughout the pandemic to pre-COVID-19 face-to-face survey data to track the employment of respondents who were working before the pandemic and analyze individual-level indicators of job loss and re-employment. Finally, it analyzes both immediate impacts, during the first few months of the pandemic, as well as longer run impacts through February/March 2021. The findings show that in the early phase of the pandemic, women, young, and urban workers were significantly more likely to lose their jobs. A year after the onset of the pandemic, these inequalities disappeared and education became the main predictor of joblessness. The analysis finds significant rural/urban, age, and education gradients in household-level income loss. Households with income from nonfarm enterprises were the most likely to report income loss, in the short run as well as the longer run.

The essay aims at investigating new forms and styles of the power of the employer. Since the main regulatory intervention on employment relationship (above all the Statuto dei lavoratori ) significant changes occured in the context were the relationship performs, so that a rethinking of the basis of employer's power is required. The role of labour market, new forms of organization of the firm and the diversification of workers types are few of different examples of this changing context. Therefore, regulatory tecniques need a refoundation, taking into account that the power of the employer performs not only within the employment relationship but also outside the employment relationship.

At present, the interrelation of people, countries and cultures is undeniable. The advances in communications, the greater facility in the transfer of people, merchandise and capital; but also the supranational institutional advances resulting from globalization have generated phenomena rarely seen before and that require new tools for their analysis. Our intention in bringing together the different contributions was to offer a range of issues and problems that do not exhaust the increasingly broad and complex agenda of problems arising from migratory groups. But we believe that the quality and diversity of the works presented here undoubtedly constitute a valuable contribution to the production of knowledge and the scientific debate about the construction of citizenship in a global world.
