Sommario/riassunto |
|
The main original aim of the European Union was to promote convergence towards higher economic growth and social standards. However, EU countries have sometimes experienced different trajectories, due in part to their different starting points and the fact that their convergence on particular socio-economic indicators has varied. At the same time, little evidence has so far been presented on cross-country convergence within the EU. This book aims to answer a number of important questions. To what extent have European countries converged or diverged with EU-wide economic and social indicators over the past 20 years? What have been the drivers of convergence? Why do some countries lag behind, while others experience continuous upward convergence? Why are these trajectories not always linear? Particular attention is paid to the role of institutions, actors and industrial relations - focusing on the resources and strategies of governments, employers and trade unions - in nudging EU countries onto an upward convergence path. This book provides a unique analysis of socio-economic indicators to identify convergence trends in the EU. It defines a number of clusters that help to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of national socio-economic models and the European Social Model. Cross-country case studies help to identify the possible impact of global movements (migration, foreign investment) and policies (social protection, social dialogue, employment) on cross-country convergence. This book offers a timely assessment of convergence within the EU, identifying its drivers in the world of work and in institutions and industrial relations. It presents examples of where institutions and industrial relations can change convergence outcomes and proposes a range of useful policy options. Scholars and researchers will find it an invaluable reference for studies of European affairs and social policies. |

Sommario/riassunto |

Cette étude de socio-histoire du politique analyse les réseaux du Parti Apriste Péruvien (PAP) et d'Action Démocratique du Venezuela (AD). Elle se penche sur l’histoire des deux formations politiques traditionnellement considérées comme les plus importantes organisations partisanes dans leur pays respectif et figurant parmi les plus anciens partis latino-américains. Leur passé anti-impérialiste, leur caractère populiste, leur soutien aux projets d’intégration américaine ou le rayonnement de leurs chefs, Victor Raùl Haya de la Torre et Rómulo Betancourt, sont autant d’éléments qui leur confèrent une place de choix dans l’histoire politique du xxe siècle. Ce travail met en évidence les réseaux transnationaux issus des liens tant personnels qu’organisationnels des dirigeants des deux partis durant leurs premiers pas dans la vie politique et leurs exils successifs. À partir des exemples du Pérou et du Venezuela, il examine la formation entre 1920 et 1962 d’une culture politique spécifique au sein de la gauche latino-américaine, celle des partis populistes apristes, en rendant compte d’ |

une dynamique d’interdépendance sociale entre les individus, mais aussi d’un processus d’internationalisation de l’action collective qui produisit une praxis contestataire de lutte contre les dictatures. |

Sommario/riassunto |

Sorbents are insoluble materials or mixtures of materials used to recover liquids through the mechanism of absorption, or adsorption, or both. Absorbents are materials that pick up and retain liquid distributed throughout its molecular structure causing the solid to swell. The absorbent must be at least 70 percent insoluble in excess fluid. Adsorbents are insoluble materials that are coated by a liquid on its surface, including pores and capillaries, without the solid swelling more than 50 percent in excess liquid. To be useful in combating oil spills, sorbents need to be both oleophilic (oil-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repellent). Although they may be used as the sole |

cleanup method in small spills, sorbents are most often used to remove final traces of oil, or in areas that cannot be reached by skimmers. Any oil that is removed from sorbent materials must also be properly disposed of or recycled. This new book gathers the latest research in this field from around the world. |
