全球化时代发展中国家与跨国企业的角力

全球化是国际关系研究中的重要现象,跨国企业则是全球化现象的重要媒介和载体。直至上世纪80年代初,跨国企业仍被大部分发展中国家的政府视为发达国家经济侵略发展中国家的工具。现在政府对跨国企业的友善态度,可以说是服从于全球化进程中的世界经济深刻转变局面下所出现的逻辑变化。这些相关过程充分改变了跨国企业与发展中国家的关系,双方不断调整本身的方针及策略,争取与全球新形势下的现实接轨。本文尝试回顾及检视跨国企业与发展中国家两者关系中出现的转变,并进而指出考虑跨国企业的问题时,需要将有关研究视角放置于全球经济整体增长的背景当中。在全球化时代,发展中国家及跨国企业应视双方之间的关系为一种互补的关系,这种互补性有助国家提升资源运用及相关素质能力。发展中国家只有正确认识及合理利用跨国企业,才能积极推动政治建设和社会经济的持续发展。

Urban poverty and labor market dynamics in five Latin American countries: 2003–2008

Latin America experienced a long period of sustained growth since 2003 that positively impacted social and labor market indicators, including poverty. This paper contributes to the understanding of this process as it carries out a comparative study of poverty dynamics in five Latin American countries during 2003–2008. It analyzes the extent to which countries with different levels of poverty incidence diverge in terms of poverty exit and entry rates, identifies the relative importance of the frequency and impact of events associated to poverty transitions and examines how these events affect households with different characteristics. For this, a dynamic analysis of panel data is carried out using regular household surveys. Sizeable rates of poverty movements were observed in all five countries and it was found that a large proportion of household experienced positive events, mainly related to the labor market; however, only a small fraction of them actually exited poverty. Demographic events and public cash transfers proved to be of little relevance; in particular, the latter did not contribute much either to intensify poverty exits or to prevent poverty entries. Households with children experienced more (less) negative (positive) events than those without children. It appeared therefore that even when the economy behaved reasonably well at the aggregate level, high levels of labor turnover and income mobility (even of a negative nature) still prevail, mainly associated to the high level of precariousness and the undeveloped system of social protection that characterize the studied countries.     

Labour market turnover in Latin America: How intensive is it and to what extent does it differ across countries?

The study of labour market turnover is particularly significant in Latin America, which is characterized by marked economic cycles and limited social protection coverage. This article estimates the intensity of transitions from employment in six countries in Latin America in the new millennium and decomposes the differences observed, furthermore evaluating the employment destinations of workers making such transitions. The countries under analysis show very different turnover rates, which are mostly explained by a dissimilar incidence of informal and temporary employment. In all cases, a large share of job exits imply transitions to precarious jobs or unemployment.
