Abstract Financial transactions data are increasingly considered valuable in the context of security threats, yet they are particularly privacy sensitive. At present, 166 Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) worldwide are able to share financial intelligence via the Egmont Group, their joint platform. This paper analyses the politics and practices of transnational financial intelligence sharing, with a particular emphasis on the Egmont Group. We draw on literatures at the intersection between political economy and financial security to analyse how FIU practitioners rely on what we call ‘circuits of trust’ that enable them to engage in a politics of data-sharing. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and participant observation, we examine three practices: the role of trust in navigating the ‘legal grey zone’ in which FIU data are shared; the way in which trust circuits make intelligence sharing possible; and the implicit notions of (un)trustworthiness at work when FIUs share intelligence, leading to inclusion and exclusion. We aim to push forward the conversation about economic trust practices by observing how the circuit of trust operates in everyday practice, making the sharing of financial intelligence (im)possible.

Abstract Health care systems throughout the United States are developing programmes to address patients’ ‘social determinants of health’ – such as housing, food, income and transportation. I investigate the concepts, technologies and infrastructures through which health care systems are turning towards ‘the social’ as an object of clinical knowledge and intervention. Proponents of this movement suggest that developing the clinical capacity to prescribe social resources promises to improve the ‘value’ of care, defined as the amount of health achieved per dollar spent. I argue that initiatives to improve value through social intervention are reconstituting broader arrangements of welfare provisioning.

Abstract Financial markets have witnessed a dramatic shift in financial flows in recent years from Active fund management where professional investors attempt to beat the market (generate ‘alpha’) to Passive investment where portfolios are assembled that follow existing market indicators (track ‘beta’). This transition has important implications for both corporate governance and wider society, with potentially significant distributive effects. Passive investing is predicated upon different bodies of knowledge and is suggestive of an epistemic shift of sorts in financial markets. In such circumstances, field theory suggests that incumbent groups like Active players will try to adapt to the new rules of the investment game. However, drawing from an empirical study which explores the views of the Active investment community in both the United Kingdom and the United States, we document significant defensiveness vis-à-vis the rise of Passive investing. Whereas behavioural approaches might explain this defensiveness in terms of irrationality, the conceptual approach advanced here instead emphasizes the epistemic opportunism (convoluted and self-serving attempts to demonstrate superior knowledge) that communities strategically engage in to justify their position. As such, we conclude that financial markets should be understood as constituted by slowly evolving communities of practice whose habits, routines and ways of knowing can be difficult to shift, even when faced with overwhelming evidence that what they are doing doesn’t work most of the time.

Abstract This paper explores the relationship between labour market dualization, insecurity and low fertility, through a case study of South Korea, an extreme case of ultra-low fertility where the total fertility rate fell to 0.84 in 2020. It is argued that the long-term nature of the insecurity associated with dualization, as well as its impact on people’s perceptions of present and future insecurity, mark dualization out as a particular phenomenon whose impact on fertility current demographic approaches struggle to fully understand. Rather than restricting the focus to the education-employment transition, we show how permanent insecurity in highly dualized labour markets depresses fertility.

Abstract Cash transfers as a response to poverty and unemployment have moved to mainstream political practice. From global south developmental policy to pandemic payments, there is growing concern with relying on employment for income. Many on the left have been sceptical of, and at times opposed to, such transfers, instead urging direct state provisioning, improved employment, or economic transformation beyond the state. Here, we develop an alternative position, rooted in cautious optimism about the open-ended implications of cash transfers. We consider the possibility that providing a durable, redistributive universal basic income might enable escape from unjust economic relations, underwrite diverse economies, and free time to expand democratic practice. We frame this not as an assured outcome but as a possibility, one those concerned with radical, anti-kyriarchal politics might engage in creating.

Abstract The food industry occupies a large portion of the plate in the study of moral markets. Moral markets for food include fair trade goods, organic products, family farmers initiatives, as well as plant-based meat alternatives, the focus of this paper. Driven by a growing concern for animal welfare, sustainability and the responsible use of resources, various companies launched products that successfully duplicate the taste, look and overall experience of meat eating, without the dire impacts of the meat industry on human, animal and environmental health. In this paper, we explore the formation of a market for plant-based meat as a communicative accomplishment. To do so, we analyse the rhetoric of one of its leading companies: Beyond Meat. By tracing the development of this food-tech company, we show that Beyond Meat’s activist-like rhetoric has contributed to the formation of a market based on the moral criterion of efficiency, which is achieved by bypassing the animal in meat production and by creating a transcending collective identity for meat-eaters of all sorts. Contrary to the more common process where moralized products move from social movement to market, we here theorize the formation of a moralized market that is depicted as a movement.

Abstract This paper undertakes an analysis of publicly posted videos sharing debtors’ strategies for responding to overzealous credit collection agencies during the earliest stages of the pandemic lockdown. It examines how Chinese debtors and credit collection callers responded to the uncertainties surrounding the handling of personal debts when the debtors’ economic activities are heavily restricted. Both parties invoked different imagined collectivities to establish their own moral justifications with regards to debt obligations, state regulations and family values. The paper argues for a recognition of the capacity of debt to collectivize people through loose discursive formations that remoralize debt, recasting the defaulter status as morally acceptable and reshaping their defaulter identities. The imaginative and discursive space built upon debt’s collectivizing potential presents a valuable analytical tool for understanding the social dimensions of debt and the dynamic emerging of financial subjectivities in the contemporary era.

The purpose of this research is to study the impact of institutions on public health, as well as to identify those institutions that have the greatest impact on public health. Life expectancy was chosen as the indicator describing public health, and six component elements of the World Bank's Governance Quality (WGI) were used to assess the institutional quality of countries. The basis of the research is the study of scientific materials and the performed panel regression analysis. As a result of the research, it became clear that institutional quality has a positive and significant effect on life expectancy. Apart from that, improving the effectiveness of the government and strengthening the rule of law has the greatest impact on institutional indicators. Accordingly, policies aimed at improving institutional quality can have a significant positive impact on public health. The results are consistent with other studies that have examined the role of institutional quality in determining life expectancy in different regions of the world. In addition to providing a basis for policy development, the research can also contribute to improving the quality of further research in the field.

In the current global economy, the role and importance of national economies of individual countries, as well as the economic unions of countries, are characterized based on various indicators, with a special emphasis on innovations and innovative activities. For this purpose, the viewpoints and approaches presented by various authors regarding innovations were researched and identified, the content and importance of innovations in strengthening the state and increasing the rate of economic growth were revealed. By researching the global and regional indicators and developments of the mentioned field, the authors made appropriate analyses and came to a number of conclusions that can be useful for the development and implementation of an effective policy of scientific and scientific-technical activities in the Republic of Armenia, which will greatly contribute to increasing the competitiveness of that type of activity, both in the global market and in regional development. The authors acknowledge that considerable work has been done in the RA to change and improve the state of affairs in the field of scientific and scientific-technological activities. Several legislative acts have been adopted, aiming to enhance the efficiency of these activities. However, the implemented measures lack a systematic and complex nature and serve rather to partially solve local problems arising in the field.
