ABSTRACT Son preference is known to influence fertility decisions, but very little is known about the prevalence of son preference in Turkey and its consequences for fertility behaviours. We use data from five waves of the Demographic and Health Survey and the Survey on Income and Living Conditions to show that son preference results in differential stopping behaviours and shorter birth spacing. Despite many public reforms promoting gender equality in Turkey, women and children are put at risk in the quest for a son. This result holds in all regions, in both urban and rural areas, and across the socio-economic spectrum.

ABSTRACT This article explores the power exercised by the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) over the transport workers in Lagos (Nigeria). With the privatisation of transport and the regulation of motor parks transferred from local governments to NURTW, the union has been able to expand the power of unionist leaders who have developed new managerial techniques to increase their own profits. The NURTW case reflects the adaptation of neoliberal norms within a union at the expense of its workers. The article suggests that union power over workers is as necessary a field of research as the recent renewal on power resources approach exploring the capacity of unions to empower workers.

ABSTRACT This article explores the dichotomous co-production of ‘corrupt unions’ and ‘shareholder-driven corporations’. It argues that discourses of Zambian union corruption convolved national political history, shifting moral economies and global responses to organised labour’s disempowerment; obfuscating the structural causes of low wages and under-development. Semiotically created in comparison to corrupt unions were shareholder-driven, economically rational corporations. In problematising the naturalisation of these actors’ economic choices, the article reconceptualises their actions through exploring negotiations over their responsibilities between workers, employers and the state. It argues that in these negotiations narratives of shareholder primacy and Corporate Social Responsibility emboldened claims for high profits, low wages and minimal tax takes; while a self-reinforcing perception of corruption lowered workers’ expectations of what could be achieved through collective action.

ABSTRACT This article analyses the trajectories of organised labour in times of neoliberalism in Turkey and Egypt and their current condition under securitised neoliberal-developmentalist regimes post-2013. Neoliberal experience in these countries was marked by continuing authoritarianism, challenging the view that economic liberalisation would lead to political democratisation. One of the most important areas of neoliberal restructuring has been labour markets. In order to achieve this, struggles over organised labour were of vital importance. Dismantling the power of dissident labour unions through coercive measures and containing other sections of organised labour through authoritarian corporatist relations has been crucial in these cases.

ABSTRACT This paper uses survey data from the Mekong River Delta region of Vietnam to explore the equity implications of export-oriented agrarian transitions in two communities, one engaged in intensive rice agriculture and the other shrimp farming. The data show that shrimp aquaculture has brought greater inequality in the distribution of land, while generating more employment and economic opportunity and creating a more equitable distribution of income than rice farming. This study suggests that processes of agrarian transition can shape social relations around land and labour in divergent ways, due to differences in the nature of export commodities and their production.

Face aux menaces existentielles qui frappent l’humanité, l’action humanitaire est devenue l’un des principaux mécanismes des politiques publiques pour anticiper et protéger les populations. En effet, le vaste écosystème de la communauté de pratique des humanitaires et d’organisations non gouvernementales et internationales tentent, avec plus ou moins de succès, à anticiper les crises, et à fournir des services de protection aux populations. Mais l’humanitaire ne peut rester anachronique des débats qui transforment les sociétés. En effet, l’humanitaire évolue au rythme des débats et a été déstabilisé suite au phénomène #MeToo en 2018 (Riley 2021) ainsi qu’au mouvement Black Lives Matter au courant de l’été 2020 (Paige 2021). Ces débats auront confronté les travailleurs humanitaires au fait que les structures de pouvoir de l’aide sont fondamentalement asymétriques et coloniales, une dimension qui a été peu débattue auparavant (Paige 2021). Parallèlement, l’humanitaire a été aussi mise à rude épreuve ces dernières années avec les effets des changements climatiques (Tozier de la Poterie et al. 2022) qui frappent les régions pauvres comme riches, mettant sous tension un équilibre planétaire fragile, et forçant simultanément des opérations domestiques et internationales. C’est dans ce contexte que la pandémie de COVID-19 est survenue. Évidemment, les conséquences réelles de la pandémie dans le monde ne sont pas encore bien comprises et des années de recherche multidisciplinaire seront nécessaires pour en saisir les impacts, notamment sur les régions vulnérables en ce qui a trait à l’accès aux soins de santé et plus généralement dans l’exacerbation des écarts de richesse. Néanmoins, on sait déjà que la pandémie de COVID-19 aura largement augmenté le nombre de crises humanitaires et de personnes touchées. En effet, la pandémie a aggravé les crises existantes, mais a aussi été un vecteur significatif de besoins humanitaires dans plusieurs autres pays. Avec la fermeture soudaine des frontières, l’accès humanitaire a été paralysé, et les populations en déplacement se sont souvent heurtées à des barrières et ne pouvaient quitter des régions où elles sont menacées. Les données recueillies dans le plus récent rapport du Global Humanitarian Assistance Report 2021 démontrent que plus de 243 millions de personnes vivant dans 75 pays ont des besoins humanitaires urgents, en comparaison avec 225 millions dans 65 pays en 2019.

面对人类面临的生存威胁，人道主义行动已成为预测和保护人民的主要公共政策机制之一。事实上，人道主义工作者、非政府组织和国际组织的广泛生态系统试图预测危机并向人民提供保护服务，但或多或少取得了成功。但是，在改变社会的辩论中，人道主义不能仍然是不合时宜的。事实上，人道主义运动随着辩论的节奏而发展，并在2018年的#MeToo现象(Riley 2021)和2020年夏季的“黑人的命也是命”运动(Paige 2021)之后变得不稳定。这些辩论将使援助工作者面对这样一个事实，即援助的权力结构基本上是不对称的和殖民的，这一点以前很少被讨论(Paige 2021)。与此同时，近年来，人道主义工作也受到气候变化影响的严峻考验(Tozier de la Poterie et al. 2022)，气候变化既影响富裕地区，也影响贫穷地区，给脆弱的全球平衡带来压力，同时迫使国内和国际行动。正是在这种背景下，COVID-19大流行发生了。当然,全世界的流行造成的实际后果尚不清楚理解和仍需多年的多学科研究,抓住影响,特别是对脆弱地区。这涉及到医疗准入和更普遍地在加剧的贫富差距。然而，我们已经知道，COVID-19大流行将大大增加人道主义危机和受影响的人数。事实上，这一流行病加剧了现有的危机，但它也是其他几个国家人道主义需求的重要来源。随着边界的突然关闭，人道主义通道陷入瘫痪，流动人口经常遇到障碍，无法离开他们受到威胁的地区。最新的《2021年全球人道主义援助报告》收集的数据显示，75个国家有超过2.43亿人有紧急人道主义需求，而2019年65个国家有2.25亿人有紧急人道主义需求。一个

ABSTRACT This article asks to what extent the political mobilization promoted by peasant organizations in Argentina, Chile and Brazil can be inscribed in new forms of “peasant unionization.” Based on a qualitative and ethnographic approach to the organizational trajectory of the Coordinadora Latinoamericana de Organizaciones del Campo-Vía Campesina (CLOC-VC), this paper seeks to provide theoretical and empirical contributions to the issue of rural trade unions in South America and peasants’ organization experiences over the last twenty years. The article concludes that the peasant movements of the CLOC-VC have created new institutional opportunities for union articulation and organization to better channel class interests in South America.

ABSTRACT The prospects for external financing of green transformation and resilient post-COVID-19 recovery remain bleak for developing countries. The scope for mobilising substantial domestic resources is limited, while public-private partnerships and blended finance failed to mobilise promised finance. Borrowing from central banks remains the only viable option for financing green transformation. The conventional arguments against such borrowing, e.g. growth retarding acceleration inflation or macroeconomic instability do not have sound theoretical or empirical basis. However, democratic oversights are needed against fiscal abuse to ensure productive utilisation of borrowed funds. A high degree of coordination between fiscal and monetary authorities is also essential.
