Pension policy in the European Union: Responses to the changing division of labor in family life

In this articles the authors analyze pension rights in the national pension schemes of the European Union countries from a gender perspective by using the mainstream regime-type framework based on the work of Esping-Andersen. An important aspect of pension benefits is the extent to which they allow individual claims for benefits or ‘family’ recipients through derived benefits or household means testing. Individual pension rights refer to a person's own insurance record or residence-based rights whereas derived rights are based on a spouse's insurance record. From the gender perspective, the authors examine how policymakers have responded in pension policies to challenges due to changes in the gender division of labor and the reshaping of the family institution.

The globalization syndrome: transformation and resistance

Here James Mittelman explains the systemic dynamics and myriad consequences of globalization, focusing on the interplay between globalizing market forces, in some instances guided by the state, and the needs of society. Mittelman finds that globalization is hardly a unified phenomenon but rather a syndrome of processes and activities: a set of ideas and a policy framework. More specifically, globalization is propelled by a changing division of labor and power, manifested in a new regionalism, and challenged by fledgling resistance movements. The author argues that a more complete understanding of globalization requires an appreciation of its cultural dimensions. From this perspective, he considers the voices of those affected by this trend, including those who resist it and particularly those who are hurt by it.The Globalization Syndrome is among the first books to present a holistic and multilevel analysis of globalization, connecting the economic to the political and cultural, joining agents and multiple structures, and interrelating different local, regional, and global arenas. Mittelman's findings are drawn mainly from the non-Western worlds. He provides a cross-regional analysis of Eastern Asia, an epicenter of globalization, and Southern Africa, a key node in the most marginalized continent. The evidence shows that while offering many benefits to some, globalization has become an uneasy correlation of deep tensions, giving rise to a range of alternative scenarios.

Releasing the Potential of Nursing Labour

The recent release of the "Report of the Ministerial Taskforce on Nursing: Releasing the Potential of Nursing" provides a useful point of reference to analyse again the changing division of labour in the production of health and sickness services in New Zealand following a period of significant reform. Sociological inquiry into the relationships between the various occupational groups engaged in the provision of health services has, in the past, tended to focus on the professionalising projects of the respective occupations, and on the contestation/cooperation at the 'closure boundaries' between those groups. This paper argues that, in the reformed health sector, with its cascade of principals and agents, output based contracts and contestable contracting; the historic form of analysis is adequate. A different form of analysis is needed to explore the new changing relationships both within and between the health occupational groups themselves; and secondly and perhaps more importantly, to analyse the changing relationships between the health industry occupations and the State.

農業・食料システム再編への農業社会学的接近

The purpose of this paper is to review the recent development of sociology of agriculture, in order to analyze the drastic restructuring of agro-food system through biotechnology. Recent changes of agro-food system can be detected in two different aspects, that is, international and intersectoral reorganization of commodity chains, which used to be organized around each distinct agricultural commodity. Commercial development of biotechnology have posed several research issues to be solved within sociology of agriculture; changing division of labor between public and private research bodies, changing distribution patterns of profit captured by new technologies, and institutionalization issues of intellectual property rights balancing with public access to genetic resources. Among these issues related to biotechnology, author focuses on the restructuring of agro-food system and reviews the analytical measures which have been developed in sociology of agriculture. Several aspects related to the restructuring are reviewed, including appropriationism and substitutionism, which are proposed by agricultural sociologists. After assessing these aspects, the author presents a concept of “network” as a key measure to examine the reorganization of agro-food system and shows its relevance to the analysis of changing agro-food system.

GOVERNMENT'S CHANGING POLICY IN THE PROVISION OF HOME CARE SERVICES FOR ISRAEL'S FRAIL ELDERLY

The relationship between the governmerit and non‐government organisations (NGO's) providing welfare and human services has been dealt with extensively by researchers and scholars, from theoretical as well as empirical perspectives. Such research has addressed the changing role of the government and changing division of labour between the government and provider organisations, In this context, studies have discussed the strengths, weaknesses and level of effectiveness of the existing relationship, in which the government sets policies, provides funding and controls the quality of services while provider organisations actually deliver the services. Studies have also pointed to the organisational, managerial and economic differences between government agencies, non‐profit organisations (NPOs) and for‐profit organisations (FPOs). The findings indicate that neither sector has a clear‐cut advantage over the other. Rather, each sector has relative advantages in different areas of service provision.

Fundamentalism, Revivalists, and Violence in South Asia

The volume under review is essentially a collection of papers presentedat a two-day workshop on the changing division of labor in South Asia heldat the University of Wisconsin in 1984 at which the two major themes werethe emerging role of women; and the “increasingly violent role of religion.”IThe latter theme became the subject of this book.Concerning this subject, the editor, Dr. Bjorkman, writes:“If, then, you have been perplexed about the chronic religiousviolence in contemporary South Asian states, you need search nofurther for relief. The following chapters examine, explore, andexplain aspects of religious fundamentalism, self-righteousrevivalists, and murderous mayhem among the four major faithsof South Asia."Then, evincing his concern for the human situation in the area, and hisown obviously painful experiences there, Dr. Bjorkman continues:“. . . one may justifiably conclude that a no-win situationcharacterizes the South Asian mosaic. Contemporary reality isdepressing, if not gruesome; the daily documentation of death anddestruction, cruelty and carnage, is sufficient evidence thereof?Candidly assessing the objective of his work, Dr. Bjorkman states:“The aim of this book is to uncover some of the socio-politicaltruths disguised by the frequent invocation of “fundamentalist” and“revivalist” claims in contemporary South Asian religions.”And in order to prepare the reader for what lies ahead, the learned editoradds:“One can come away from this volume wringing one’s hands indespair at the utter hopelessness of human foibles. Or one cancatch glimpses of truth and possible points of leverage by whichthe certain slide into anarchy might be arrested and even reversed.Sigmund Freud once wrote: ‘The truths contained in religious doctrinesare after all so distorted and systematically disguised thatthe mass of mankind cannot recognize them as truth (Freud1928 :78) .“Thus, before moving on to even the editor’s introductory chapter, theinterested reader, in the sense of his or her faith or allegiance to one or theother of the four major religions of South Asia, will begin to feel queasyat the prospect of what lies ahead. Many such, I suspect, will put the volumedown and start wringing their own hands at the utter hopelessness of humanfoibles in the guise of Western academic treatments of Eastern affairs of thespirit. But no, gentle reader, dismay not; the volume is not your averagewitch hunt. On the contrary, as food for thought it is immediately engaging,and as an opportunity for self-exam ...
