institutional contexts of Political Conflicts around free movement in the european union a theoretical analysis
Journal of European Public Policy, 2018Co-Authors: Martin Ruhs, Joakim PalmeAbstract:ABSTRACTThe Member States of the European Union (EU) have been engaged in highly divisive debates about whether and how to reform the rules for the ‘free movement’ of EU workers and their access to national welfare states. While some countries have argued for new restrictions on EU workers’ access to welfare benefits, many others have opposed policy change. What explains EU Member States’ different policy positions on this issue? Existing accounts have focused on populist Political parties and the media. In contrast, this article provides a theoretical institutional analysis of how cross-country differences in the regulation of national labour markets and welfare states can contribute to divergent national policy responses to free movement. We argue and explain how labour market and welfare state institutions can affect national policy actors’ positions on free movement directly, and/or indirectly via inter-actions with normative attitudes and the characteristics of EU labour immigration.

brazil development strategies and social change from import substitution to the events of june
Studies in Political Economy, 2014Co-Authors: Alfredo Saad FilhoAbstract:This article offers a Political economy interpretation of the mass protests that took place in Brazil in June–July 2013. This interpretation is based on a review of two development strategies—import-substituting industrialization and neoliberalism—and the class structures associated with them. Examining them helps to locate the sources of current social and Political Conflicts in the country, and the demands of rival social groups. These strategies are analyzed in light of the forms of protest that have emerged under neoliberalism. They lead to the conceptualization of the “lumpenization of politics” and the “facebookization” of protest in the country.

Foreign Influence, Political Conflicts and Conflict Resolution in the Caribbean:
Journal of Peace Research, 1995Co-Authors: Perry MarsAbstract:This article focuses on the interconnection between international factors and domestic Political Conflicts in the Third World context, with specific reference to Caribbean countries. Theories suggesting either no correlation or a direct linear linkage between international and domestic Conflicts are criticized. It is posited that (a) the linkage between international pressures and domestic Political Conflicts is usually mediated by domestic class forces, particularly the contentious role of the middle classes, which invariably control Caribbean states, (b) these middle-class controlled states usually display a preference for the more authoritarian approaches to conflict resolution; (c) states subjected to the most destabilizing international pressures, such as the ideologically deviant (or pro-socialist) states, tend to display the more intensive levels of both Political Conflicts and repressive force; and (d) these conflict patterns harbour largely negative implications for democratic developments in the...

Growing Cleavages in India? Evidence from the Changing Structure of Party Electorates, 1962-2014
2019Co-Authors: Abhijit Banerjee, Amory Gethin, Thomas PikettyAbstract:This paper combines surveys, election results and social spending data to document the long-run evolution of Political cleavages in India. From a dominantparty system featuring the Indian National Congress as the main actor of the mediation of Political Conflicts, Indian politics have gradually come to include a number of smaller regionalist parties and, more recently, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). These changes coincide with the rise of religious divisions and the persistence of strong caste-based cleavages, while education, income and occupation play little role (controlling for caste) in determining voters’ choices. We find no evidence that India’s new party system has been associated with changes in social policy. While BJP-led states are generally characterized by a smaller social sector, switching to a party representing upper castes or upper classes has no significant effect on social spending. We interpret this as evidence that voters seem to be less driven by straightforward economic interests than by sectarian interests and cultural priorities. In India, as in many Western democracies, Political Conflicts have become increasingly focused on identity and religious-ethnic Conflicts rather than on tangible material benefits and class-based redistribution.

Chapter 8 Theories of persistent inequality and intergenerational mobility
Handbook of Income Distribution, 2000Co-Authors: Thomas PikettyAbstract:Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the existing theories of persistent inequality across generations. The chapter discusses total economic inequality both in wealth and in earnings and focuses on the intergenerational mobility dimension of total inequality. The chapter presents a nonexhaustive, nontechnical survey of existing empirical work about intergenerational mobility and persistent inequality among dynasties. The question of intergenerational mobility has always been one of the most controversial issues indeed, both in actual Political Conflicts and in academic writings by social scientists, and conflicting theories in this area have very often been motivated by conflicting qualitative perceptions of the extent of mobility (and conversely).
