ABSTRACT Non-governmental organizations have become central to how workers are organized in Bangladesh’s readymade garment industry. This article explores how they integrate workers from the sector into the labour movement. Drawing on field research with three domestic, worker-focused NGOs, it asks the question: what strategies do these institutions use to engage and activate a non-organized workforce that consists predominantly of women? The strategies undertaken by these NGOs highlight the importance and integrative role of social relationships, kinship circles and the affective dimension of activism, all of which are critical for mobilizing workers not yet integrated into a broader labour movement. These strategies reveal the dynamic interaction between women workers’ collective organizing and the institutional form of the NGO.

RÉSUMÉ Alors que la pandémie de COVID-19 persiste, la collecte de données de recherche qualitative dans des milieux difficiles d’accès reste semée d’embûches. Cet article présente la méthodologie développée dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche sur l’enseignement et l’apprentissage sur et par les technologies au sein de la communauté de personnes réfugiées du camp de Dzaleka au Malawi. Il s’agit d’une méthodologie visant à collecter des données qualitatives à distance à l’aide d’outils numériques. Elle se veut aussi participative et endogène afin de respecter les particularités et les besoins de la population vulnérable à l’étude.

ABSTRACT The social economy in Europe has grown in strength over the last 40 years. This paper analyses the different dynamics that are at play within the social economy. On the one hand, it appears to have a unique approach to social and business organisation integrated within the current construction of the Single Market and the Economic and Monetary Union. On the other hand, together with the political, social, feminist and environmental movements that pursue the same objective, it is seen as a reference for economic organisation towards a development model different to the current model based on neoliberal capitalism.

ABSTRACT The objective of this article is to examine the effect of ICT use on the happiness of African populations. To this end, the dynamic system generalized method of moments (syst-GMM) is used to estimate the model for 31 African countries using annual data from 2006 to 2018. Our results show that the effect of ICTs depends on the type of ICT. Indeed, the results highlight the negative association of cell phones and the positive association of the internet on happiness in Africa. However, all ICTs are positively associated with happiness in countries with high life expectancy and low unemployment.

ABSTRACT In the early 2010s, the Canadian government increasingly integrated commercial self-interest into its foreign aid program. This article analyzes the ostensible motives and impact of the rapid intensification of Canada's support to the extractive sector in Mongolia. It argues that, rather than a reflection of Mongolia’s needs, the decision was donor-driven and resulted in apparently poorly designed projects with limited potential to advance Canadian aid’s objective of reducing poverty, or even to meet the unofficial goal of benefitting Canadian mining companies. A potentially more productive approach would have been to help reduce, not reinforce, Mongolia’s extreme dependence on mining.

ABSTRACT This paper seeks to expose the forces of structural transformation released in the process of extractive capitalist development in Brazil and the emergence of right-wing populism in the form of Jair Bolsonaro. The focus of the paper is on the assault of the Bolsonaro regime on the indigenous peoples in the Amazonian region and its broader development and political implications in the context of a systematic crisis.
