Towards a desolate landscape of disintegrating societies or towards the construction of new institutions to mitigate violence, reduce poverty and promote peace in a rapidly changing global context?

Titre : The Great Doubling : The Challenge of the New Global Labor Market Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Richard Freeman, Auteur Année de publication : August 2006 Importance : 16 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Économie internationale Tags : Emploi Economie mondiale Pays émergents Résumé : Before the collapse of Soviet communism, China's movement toward market capitalism,
and India's decision to undertake market reforms and enter the global trading system, the global economy encompassed roughly half of the world's population - the advanced OECD countries, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, and some parts of Asia. Workers in the US and other higher income countries and in market-oriented developing countries such as Mexico did not face competition from low wage Chinese or Indian workers nor from workers in the Soviet empire. Then, almost all at once in the 1990s, China, India, and the ex-Soviet bloc joined the global economy and the entire world came together into a single economic world based on capitalism and markets.(...)En ligne : http://eml.berkeley.edu/~webfac/eichengreen/e183_sp07/great_doub.pdf The Great Doubling : The Challenge of the New Global Labor Market [document électronique] / Richard Freeman, Auteur . - August 2006 . - 16 p.

Titre : The travels of a T-shirt in the global economy : an economist examines the markets, power and politics of world trade Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Pietra Rivoli, Auteur Editeur : Wiley Année de publication : 2005 Importance : 254 p Note générale : 03.01 RIV Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Économie internationale
Conditions de travailTags : Economie mondiale Coton Entreprises Conditions de travail Emploi Politique commerciale Index. décimale : 03.01 COMMERCE / MONDIALISATION Généralités Résumé : During a 1999 protest of the World Trade Organization, Rivoli, an economics professor at Georgetown, looked on as an activist seized the microphone and demanded, "Who made your T-shirt?" Rivoli determined to find out. She interviewed cotton farmers in Texas, factory workers in China, labor champions in the American South and used-clothing vendors in Tanzania. Problems, Rivoli concludes, arise not with the market, but with the suppression of the market. Subsidized farmers, and manufacturers and importers with tax breaks, she argues, succeed because they avoid the risks and competition of unprotected global trade, which in turn forces poorer countries to lower their prices to below subsistence levels in order to compete. Rivoli seems surprised by her own conclusions, and while some chapters lapse into academic prose and tedious descriptions of bureaucratic maneuvering, her writing is at its best when it considers the social dimensions of a global economy, as in chapters on the social networks of African used-clothing entrepreneurs.

In every region growth edged upwards, with recoveries in Latin America and the transition economies that were stronger than expected. Moreover, this performance was achieved against the backdrop of sharply rising oil prices. While positive impulses from the previous year, notably the large liquidity injection to stave off the Y2K bug and to support the introduction of the euro, helped maintain the momentum, it was the continued strength of the United States economy that underpinned the 4 per cent growth in global output.
