Current literature generally highlights the unique differences between sports and traditional unions. In particular, the contrast
between the two types of unions’ approaches to the free market when it comes to wage determination—sports unions fought the
“reserve clause” to obtain free market outcomes while traditional unions fought to circumvent the market for wages—has been
widely cited. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the hitherto neglected comparisons between sports and traditional
unions. With respect to both economic and non-economic issues, professional sports unions share far more in common with their
traditional counterparts than the labor and sports economics literatures would lead one to believe.

In 2007, both Moldovan and Ukrainian authorities took firm steps to reduce corruption along the Transdnistrian border. This
paper—aimed mainly at anti-corruption practitioners and scholars in public administration—discusses the background and underlying
principles guiding the anti-corruption work being adopted by both governments in order to facilitate discussion about optimal
anti-corruption programme design. This paper presents a set of tools used during the planning phase of the anti-corruption
programme—outlining the methodology used to assess the extent of corruption on the Transdnistrian border, the problems of
legislative transplants, a “contract test” for defining corruption offenses, a method of risk analysis, and a model of optimal
anti-corruption programme organizational design.

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate and explain how a Norwegian voluntary, faith-based organization—the Gospel Centre
of Norway (Pinsevennenes Evangeliesenter)—successfully substituted a “network” for “market” strategy vis-à-vis the public sector in order to obtain organizational
legitimacy and financial security. During the first decade of its existence it obtained a unique position in its relationship
with the state, as a separate item in the budget of the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs. The organization operates in
the field of substance abuse rehabilitation, i.e., in a situation where instrumental effectiveness is difficult to assess.
In such a situation ritual or other institutional criteria may replace effectiveness criteria and impression management is
shown to be a successful strategy. Attention is paid to the relevant environmental conditions under which this organizational
change of strategy was successful.

Black Gold and Blue Gold: The Importance of Energy in the New Power Policy of the Russian Federation
Edoardo Lelli 《Transition Studies Review》2009,15(4):746-758
After having been forced to face a decade of economic and political difficulties, the Russian Federation is regaining a position
of prestige on the international stage thanks to an astute utilization of its huge reserves of oil and natural gas. With the
coming to power of Vladimir Putin—and in particular from 2004—the State has changed its policy in the energy field, aiming
to come back to exert a strict control over the main companies and assets. One of the most significant consequences of this
change has been the outbreak of disputes with Ukraine and Belarus about the selling price of gas, which caused fears among
the entire Europe about the reliability of Russia as a supplier of that resource. Moreover, the quarrels forced many Western
analysts to condemn the way Moscow is acting to try and become an “energy superpower”.

We study the general class of two-player public-policy contests and specify the asymmetry condition under which a more restrained government intervention that reduces the contestants’ prizes has the “perverse” effect of increasing their aggregate lobbying efforts.

Faced with declining union membership and a growing immigrant workforce, the US labor movement has started to realize the
importance of organizing immigrant workers. Yet the conventional wisdom among many within the movement is that immigrant workers
are “unorganizable.” Based on a case study of a collaborative effort between the United Food and Commercial Workers Union
and Omaha Together, One Community to organize an estimated 4,000 Latino immigrant meatpacking workers, I demonstrate not only
the “organizability” of immigrant workers, but also the fact that they have been organizing themselves, with the help of a
community-based organization, in the absence of union efforts. This case study suggests that in order to facilitate successful
organizing campaigns among immigrant workers, unions need to reach out to community-based organizations and institutions that
have established relationships with immigrant workers.

It is a stylized fact that marriage formation involves positive assortative matching on education. We also find this in the
case of immigrants, even when they tend to “import” their spouses and potentially trade off education for other favorable
characteristics. For Pakistanis, we find positive compensating differentials in terms of high education to youth having adopted
host country norms, when marrying a marriage migrant. This indicates that Pakistani marriage migrants pay a premium to be
able to marry and live in Denmark. For Turks, individuals having source country norms pay a premium in order to import a partner,
indicating that unspoiled traditional norms are traded off for education.

Since the inception of social work social workers have noted the importance of relationship in practice. More recently clinicians
and other social workers have developed the term “use of self” to indicate important aspects of the professional relationship.
How that term is defined rests on how one conceptualizes “self.” The authors suggest that from a relational perspective the
concept of self changes from the notion of self as separate and constant to self as process in interaction. They demonstrate
on a theoretical level as well as through a case example how defining self as process in interaction might affect clinical
social work practice.

The growth strategies of the listed exchanges affect the morphology of the securities industry as they are focused on the
consolidation of trading infrastructures and, on the other hand, on the diversification of the business model. New “conglomeral
exchanges” are characterized by a far-reaching production function. Since they integrate product-service lines which are complementary,
they potentially herald competitive distorsions limiting the investor’s freedom of choice and prejudicing the interest for
the best result from the investment.

We explore Halloween as a uniquely constructive space for engaging racial concepts and identities, particularly through ritual
costuming. Data were collected using 663 participant observation journals from college students across the U.S. During Halloween,
many individuals actively engage the racial other in costuming across racial/ethnic lines. Although some recognize the significance
of racial stereotyping in costuming, it is often dismissed as being part of the holiday's social context. We explore the costumes
worn, as well as responses to cross-racial costuming, analyzing how “playing” with racialized concepts and making light of
them in the “safe” context of Halloween allows students to trivialize and reproduce racial stereotypes while supporting the
racial hierarchy. We argue that unlike traditional “rituals of rebellion,” wherein subjugated groups temporarily assume powerful
roles, whites contemporarily engage Halloween as a sort of “ritual of rebellion” in response to the seemingly restrictive
social context of the post-Civil Rights era, and in a way that ultimately reinforces white dominance.

Top-Down Civic Projects Are Not Grassroots Associations: How The Differences Matter in Everyday Life
Nina Eliasoph 《Voluntas: International Journal of Voluntary and Nonprofit Organizations》2009,20(3):291-308
Research on civic associations blurs an important distinction between the unfunded, informal, ongoing associations that theorists
like de Tocqueville described versus current participatory democracy projects that are funded by the state and large nongovernmental
organizations, are open to all, and are usually short-term. Based on a long-term ethnography of youth programs in the United
States, this paper shows that entities like these, which participants and researchers alike often called “volunteer” or “civic”
groups, operate very differently from traditional civic groups. The ethnography systematically details prevalent tensions
that actors face when they try to cultivate the civic spirit in these increasingly typical organizations.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has not traditionally utilized “use of self” to describe the clinician’s role in counseling
but much attention has been given to the importance of the therapeutic relationship and the components necessary and appropriate
for a strong working alliance. The CBT approach is discussed within the framework of previously articulated five uses of selves.
A case example is presented.

Nowadays we can talk about a “Knowledge Revolution” because managing of information plays a crucial role in our society, both
in public and private sphere. After a brief introduction—aimed at underling the main points we will debate on—the first part
of the article focus on Knowledge Management techniques and knowledge-based government (k-Government) and the great potential
in respect to the public sector transformation. The second part takes into account the social dimension of knowledge managing
and the ethical relevance that social networking is progressively acquiring. After that, we have chosen to focus on global
warming, indeed, the last session is a detailed analysis of a real case study related to China’s energy security. In the end,
a wise use of Knowledge resources, trough the comparison with past experiences, turn out to be the powerful device that will
let us provide some useful suggestion for a significant public action.

Did the legalization of abortion increase women’s household bargaining power? Evidence from labor supply 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Sonia Oreffice 《Review of Economics of the Household》2007,5(2):181-207
I estimate the impact of abortion legalization on spouses’ labor supplies to test whether legalization increased women’s household
bargaining power, in a collective household behavior framework. Based on CPS data, I find that wives’ labor supply decreased
and their husbands’ increased, which is consistent with the bargaining hypothesis. This contrasts with most studies of abortion
and birth control technologies, which predict a labor supply effect only for women, and of opposite sign. Also consistent
with the bargaining interpretation, I estimate no significant impact on anti-abortion religious couples or on those who regularly
used contraceptives. PSID data yield supportive evidence.

In response to the incompatible demands of work and motherhood, many mothers seek out part-time work schedules. Although many
mothers consider this option “the best of both worlds,” scholars are divided about whether part-time work is in women’s best
interest because it is linked to the gender division of labor in the home, and hence, to gender inequality. In this paper,
we investigate the mostly unintended consequences of part-time work on the gender division of labor within the household.
Drawing on 54 in-depth interviews with mothers who voluntarily work part-time, we explore how mothers experience household
work and child care arrangements when they work part-time. Three factors emerged as most important in understanding how part-time
work can shape mothers’ experiences of the gender division of labor: pathway to part-time work, work location, and work schedule.
Depending on these factors, part-time work may be experienced as either enhancing or undermining of the gender division of
labor, and thus, as promoting or undermining gender equality in their families.

This paper considers three different conceptualizations – three politico-ideological perspectives within civil society – on global-scale economics and geopolitics. The standpoints can be termed “Global justice movements,” “Third World nationalism,” and the “Post-Washington Consensus.” These three perspectives stand in contrast to the fusion of neoliberal economics and neoconservative politics that dominates the contemporary world. The three approaches sometimes converge, but more often than not they are in conflict; as are the civil society institutions that cohere to the three different political ideologies. From the three different analyses flow different strategies, concrete campaigning tactics, and varying choices of allies. The World Social Forum provides hints of a potentially unifying approach within the global justice movements based upon the practical themes of “decommodification” and “deglobalization” (of capital). It is, however, only by facing up to the ideological divergences that the global justice movement can enhance its presence.

This paper discusses the situation in Greece as regards the introduction of co-modal transport services. It starts with basic
definitions of “co-modality” and what it means for Greece. It then presents the results of a demand data collection and analysis
exercise which resulted in the first ever estimates of the “potential” for road/rail co-modal transport in Greece today and
in 2015. Based on these forecasts it seems that at least for two thickly populated areas of the country (i.e. Athens and Thessaloniki)
this demand can be as high as 40% of the total freight flows. The paper then goes on to examine the means by which the responsible
authorities can “induce” co-modal services in the country. It does this by examining the policies necessary, the infrastructure
(both hard and “soft”), the necessary actions and incentives for the development of a “co-modal” market, and the necessary
training––education actions for human resource development. The overall conclusion is that unless specific actions are taken
on behalf of the government (such as those mentioned in the paper) the “land” based co-modal transport has no future in Greece.

Participant observation in a nonprofit nursing home reveals that informal patterns of work routinization depart markedly from
official procedures designed to protect the health and safety of workers and residents. Six aspects of the informal organization
of work are found to correspond closely to patterns observed by Roy (1954): the mismatch between time and tasks, the development
of new (informal) skills, the institutionalization of rule-breaking, negative effects on quality, the collaboration of shop-level
supervision, and workers’ experience of managerial irrationality. However, whereas classic manufacturing studies emphasized
upper management's periodic attempts to force compliance to official rules and routines, here upper management engages only
in symbolic interventions, collaborating with workers and nursing home residents in the “mock routinization” of work. The
article concludes by showing how, in the context of contradictory external workplace regulation, all three parties to the
labor process of the contemporary nursing home experience mock routinization as compatible with their own interests.

In the public sector, Canadian governments intervene frequently in labor disputes by suspending collective bargaining and
curtailing legal strikes. Previous research has focused on the contours of government intervention, such as its overall effects
on collective bargaining and strikes. The discussion highlights one actor, a government, restricting the behavior of another
actor, a union, using legislation and policy making. As a result, we know less about more micro-level elements and implications
of the process of government intervention. I address these themes using a detailed case study of the Alberta Teachers’ Association
and the strikes it coordinated in 2002.

This paper explores the multiple expressions of Central American immigrant Pentecostalism in the Pico Union district of Los
Angeles. Drawing on in-depth ethnographic fieldwork in three temples and informal conversations with over 30 active Pentecostals,
this paper shows that Central American immigrant Pentecostals tend to congregate on the basis of “congregational homophily,”
or shared social and cultural characteristics, especially in terms of age, marital status, presence of infirmities or ailments,
and national/regional origin. This paper also explores the ways in which Central American immigrant Pentecostals tailor their
religious practices to reflect their “congregational homophily” through the differential inclusion/exclusion of practices
such as healing, “roommating,” and formal and informal discussions of shared histories. By focusing on “congregational homophily”
and the active constructions and reconstructions of Central American immigrant Pentecostalism, we gain more insight into the
ways some Central American immigrants negotiate their lives and experiences in the increasingly fettered social, cultural,
and political topography of contemporary Los Angeles.
