Labour power has significantly declined across affluent democracies in recent decades, resulting in a widening scale of power inequality within the contemporary employment relationship. Employee voice is a key component of labour power that represents a human capability according to Amartya Sen’s conceptualisation: a real freedom to achieve states of being that one has reason to value. Employees deficient in the capability for voice lack sufficient bargaining power to influence workplace decision-making, which threatens their wellbeing by increasing their risk of exposure to work-related stressors and limiting their opportunities to improve their welfare. In this article, employee voice legislation is argued to be a necessary social conversion factor of employees’ capability for voice that can promote further advantage. However, research assessing its effectiveness at enhancing wellbeing is greatly limited due to an over reliance on neoliberal and new institutional forms of economic analysis that reveal little about the quality of employees’ lives. A comprehensive framework for evaluation based on Sen’s capability approach is proposed that when operationalised for empirical analysis, can advance our understanding of employee wellbeing in the twenty-first century.

ABSTRACTLatin American countries face a crossroad that demands profound change in their development paradigm. In the last four decades economic growth, investment, and productivity have shown poor performance. This has made it impossible to break with the productive heterogeneity that characterises the region and its dependence on low value-added productive sectors and commodity-dependent export structures. Although there has been a positive advance in human development, high levels of inequality, poverty, social exclusion, and high labour market informality have been persistent in the countries of the region. Added to these structural problems is the need to face climate change, that has important distributive and social effects and requires a significant amount of investment in adaption and mitigation a will require a change in the development paradigm. A fiscal sustainability framework will be essential to ensure the viability of the public spending required to promote structural change. The framework should prioritise domestic resource mobilisation, through public revenues, which have historically been insufficient to meet the demands for public spending.KEYWORDS: Latin Americaeconomic growtheconomic structurefiscal conditionshuman and social developmentclimate change Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Non-metallic minerals, paper, chemicals, basic metals, and machinery and equipment, including transport equipment.2 See https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/GB.XPD.RSDV.GD.ZS.3 Also Venezuela until 2014, but there is no information on the inequality in that country after that year.Additional informationNotes on contributorsJosé Antonio OcampoJosé Antonio Ocampo is Professor at the School of International and Public Affairs, Member of the Committee on Global Thought, and co-President of the Initiative for Policy Dialogue at Columbia University.

Living in social contexts characterised by poverty and inequality, street young people have limited access to healthcare, water sanitation and hygiene services; exacerbating effects of ill health, infections, lack of nutrition and substance abuse that undermine their wellbeing. In Harare, Zimbabwe, they are also excluded from Social Protection Programmes (SPPs) which potentially assist other impoverished Zimbabweans, two-thirds of whom live below the poverty line (WFP 2019. Zimbabwe Annual Country Report 2019. World Food Programme). In this paper, we propose a reassessment of SPPs, in particular the Assisted Medical Treatment Order (AMTO), identifying barriers to access, and benefits for extending access to street young people . Drawing on secondary analysis of data from Growing up on the Streets, this paper re-conceptualises Ingrid Robeyns’ (2005. “The Capability Approach: A Theoretical Survey.” Journal of Human Development 6 (1): 93–117. https://doi.org/10.1080/146498805200034266) model of capabilities and applies it to the reversal of street youth exclusion and the application of government-targeted initiatives which have failed to reach those in the most vulnerable situations. In so doing, we propose an adapted model which recognises how the capabilities of street young people are enhanced when they are integrated into SPPs. This adapted model can be replicated and applied to relevant interventions for other groups of marginalised people in across contexts.

ABSTRACTThis paper develops a Polanyian capabilitarian framework to understand and justify the universal basic income. I combine Amartya Sen’s capabilities approach with Karl Polanyi’s substantive view of economy to mount a normative case for basic income. Using this approach, I also ground the basic income debate in a relational ontology, the idea that the self and society are mutually constituted. By doing so, I problematise hegemonic assumptions underlying much of the basic income discourse and call for ontological and epistemic diversity. The paper both provides a critique of individualist ontology and offers an affirmative modification centred on relationality and interdependence.KEYWORDS: Universal basic incomeAmartya SenKarl Polanyicapabilities approachembeddednessrelational ontology AcknowledgementsThis is a revised version of the paper presented on the 30th of September 2022 at the German Historical institute workshop “Beyond Work for Pay? Basic-Income Concepts in Global Debates on Automation, Poverty, and Unemployment (1920–2020)” in Washington, DC. I thank the organisers and participants for their insightful comments and feedback. I also thank two anonymous reviewers for the generous comments that helped refine my argument.Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The normative literature on UBI is vast, the taxonomies are many, and the history of arguments is rich. Widerquist et al. (Citation2013) map out usefully the right-libertarian, left-libertarian, social egalitarian, republican, Marxist, communitarian, feminist, and post-productivist approaches. A comprehensive overview is also given by Bidadanure (Citation2019), Gentilini et al. (Citation2020), and Henderson (Citation2017), among others.2 This resonates with Anderson’s (Citation2000) argument that we need to focus on concrete freedoms that allow people to avoid oppression; hence universal basic income must be part of larger justification, ethically, and part of welfare package, politically.3 Lain (Citation2018) insists that there are shared affinities between the republican tradition and Karl Polanyi’s political economy (see the following sections on Polanyi). However, while he argues that both traditions share epistemological and methodological assumptions, the intersubjective character of Polanyi’s ontology is glossed over. I thank Bru Lain for highlighting the links between republicanism and Polanyi’s work during our personal communication.4 On intersubjective ontology of Amartya Sen, see also Yamamori (Citation2018).5 This call has been also voiced by scholars of post-development (Escobar Citation1995; Ferguson Citation1990; Teo Citation2010) and coloniality critique (Escobar Citation2018; Quijano Citation2000; Spivak Citation1988). To simplify, the former camp highlights how mainstream development theory and practice overlook diverse ontologies of the “non-developed” world; objectify those who need development; and produce
政治哲学家玛莎·努斯鲍姆(Martha Nussbaum)列出了十项所谓的人类普遍能力(Nussbaum Citation2011)，尽管森坚持认为能力必须根据具体情况而定。按照努斯鲍姆的说法，过上体面生活的核心能力是:生活质量;身体健康;身体的完整性;感觉、想象和思想;情绪;实践理性;与他人的联系;与其他物种一起生活的;玩;以及对环境的控制在《大转型》一书中，波兰尼指出，亚里士多德“曾教导说，只有神或野兽才能生活在社会之外，而人两者都不能”(波兰尼，Citation2001, p. 119)。关于波兰尼和亚里士多德之间的联系，也见Sayer (Citation2011)和最近的Gemici (Citation2023)Robeyns (citation2017,55 - 57)强调了价值多元主义的两个含义:上面概述的“能力方法的多维性”和“原则多元主义”，认为价值超越了能力和功能的扩展。请参阅后面关于后者的部分请看后面关于伦理的或规范的个人主义和本体论的个人主义之间的区别这一观点与《大转型》出版四年后通过的《世界人权宣言》(UDHR)以及随后通过的《经济、社会和文化权利国际公约》(ICESCR)所确立的人权方针相吻合。我感谢一位匿名评论者强调了这一点。就人权而言，普遍享有适足生活水准、获得工作和社会保护的权利以及免于匮乏的自由，类似于能力和功能的语言。参见Langford (Citation2005)对商品、公共、社区和人权方法的区分。关于能力理论与人权理论之间关系的讨论，见Robeyns (Citation2017, 161-168).15Amartya Sen清楚地承认人类是社会嵌入的:“它本质上是一种‘以人为本’的方法，它把人类的代理(而不是市场或政府等组织)放在舞台的中心。社会机会的关键作用是扩大人类能动性和自由的领域，这既是目的本身，也是进一步扩大自由的手段。“社会机会”一词中的“社会”一词[…]是一个有用的提醒，不要孤立地看待个人和他们的机会。一个人的选择在很大程度上取决于他与他人的关系，以及国家和其他机构的行为”(dr<e:1>兹和森引文2002,6)与此相关的是，尽管像世界银行这样的发展机构在证明基本收入的合理性时使用了能力方法，但它们只关注个人能力，限制了该方法的关系基础。通过这种方式，他们再现了许多发展干预背后的个人主义本体论根据Stout和Hartman (Citation2012)的分类法，其他三种本体论视角是分化个体、未分化个体和未分化关系。这些可以分别映射到古典自由主义、保守主义和激进主义的政治哲学传统上例如，Fred Block和Margaret Somers注意到“波兰尼嵌入性概念的不一致性”(Block and Somers Citation2014, 94)，而Gareth Dale观察到波兰尼的双重运动理论“并非没有困难和困惑”(Dale Citation2012, 8)。在其他众多辩论中，除其他外，请参阅Lacher (Citation2019)和Somers and Block (Citation2021)之间的交流。总的来说，Jens Beckert强调了波兰的嵌入性制度概念与Mark Granovetter提出并被经济社会学家使用的结构网络概念之间的差异(Beckert Citation2009)这再次揭示了一种紧张关系:如果经济总是被嵌入的，正如波兰尼(Citation1992)在他的文章《作为建立过程的经济》中最著名的论点那样，它如何才能被重新嵌入?除其他外，参见Roy, Dey和Teasdale (Citation2021)对这一点的理解这并不是说双重运动总是进步的、解放的和包容的，正如波兰尼在《大转型》中所承认的那样。反运动可能是反动的、暴力的、仇外的，人们退回到民族主义和文化中，全球威权民粹主义的兴起就是明证。例如，参见Block and Somers (Citation2014，第7章)对这一点的进一步讨论需要澄清的是，本文中使用的“道德经济学”一词并不仅仅指关于经济正义的进步观点。所有主要的政治经济传统——古典自由主义、激进主义、保守主义和现代自由主义——都用道德的语言来框定他们的论点。

University education can provide more than discipline knowledge development. It can also develop lifelong skills such as autonomy, critical reflection, and independent thought. With its concern for the individual and development of the self as well as society, the Capability Approach offers a useful framework for evaluating individual development beyond disciplines. This paper aims to employ the Capability Approach to explore how student-led learning might lead to individual and social development. As there is a focus on courses and curricula, it employs the complementary concept of Pedagogic Rights. It presents findings from a small-scale qualitative research project, which included the perspectives of individuals who had recently completed self-designed, individually-created courses. Findings show that student-led courses align with Capability Approach values, providing a space for individual development and expansion of capabilities.
