ABSTRACT Peacekeeping and development assistance are two of the United Nations’ (UN) defining activities. While there have been extensive studies of UN engagement in each of these areas, respectively, less attention has been given to the relationship between peacekeeping and development. We examine that relationship in this article. We do so by first considering whether concepts and principles that underpin peacekeeping and development cohere. We then combine original quantitative data with qualitative analyses in order to document the degree to which development goals and activities have been incorporated into UN peacekeeping operations since their inception over 70 years ago. While we observe a steady increase in the level of engagement of peacekeeping with development over time, we argue that short-term security goals have been prioritized over longer-term development objectives in a number of recent UN peacekeeping operations, as peacekeepers have been deployed to contexts of ongoing conflict.
维持和平和发展援助是联合国定义的两项活动。虽然分别对联合国在这些领域的参与进行了广泛的研究,但对维持和平与发展之间的关系关注较少。我们在这篇文章中研究了这种关系。我们这样做首先要考虑作为维持和平与发展基础的概念和原则是否一致。然后,我们将原始的定量数据与定性分析相结合,以记录自70多年前联合国维和行动成立以来,发展目标和活动被纳入维和行动的程度。尽管我们观察到,随着时间的推移,维和与发展的参与程度稳步上升,但我们认为,在最近的一些联合国维和行动中,短期安全目标优先于长期发展目标,因为维和人员已被部署到持续冲突的环境中。

ABSTRACT By investigating the implications of gendered property and labour relations in agriculture for socio-economic transformation, this article extends development theories and contributes to feminist analysis of unpaid family labour. Drawing on the case of Turkey, it demonstrates that gendered patterns of agriculture limit women’s mobility, access to education, and paid employment in non-agricultural sectors. Using the qualitative and quantitative methods, the paper finds that patriarchal property and labour relations prevent the movement of labour from agriculture to non-agricultural sectors, constrain labour supply, and increase subsistence earnings thereby putting upward pressure on urban wages.
本文通过研究农业中性别财产和劳动关系对社会经济转型的影响,拓展了发展理论,并对无偿家庭劳动的女性主义分析做出了贡献。该报告以土耳其为例表明,农业的性别模式限制了妇女的流动性、受教育的机会和非农业部门的有偿就业。通过定性和定量分析发现,父权所有制和劳动关系阻碍了劳动力从农业部门向非农部门的流动,限制了劳动力供给,增加了基本生计收入,从而对城镇工资构成了上行压力。

Peripherality, income inequality, and economic development in Latin American countries 拉美国家的外围性、收入不平等与经济发展

ABSTRACT Following a neo-structuralist perspective, this study presents a development puzzle for Latin American countries (LACs): a triangular relation amongst peripherality (increased terms-of-trade volatility and technological backwardness), income inequality, and per-capita income. We employ a simultaneous equation model using three-stage least squares (3SLS) to analyse this triangular relation. We find that a decrease in income inequality and an increase in per-capita income were mutually reinforcing in 14 LACs between 1995 and 2014. Although technological progress increases per-capita income, it partly mitigates this increase by increasing income inequality. Additionally, the increasing effects of foreign sources of technology, including foreign direct investment (FDI), on income inequality are mitigated in countries with higher technological capabilities. While an improvement in commodity terms-of-trade expectedly increases per-capita income and decreases income inequality in South American countries, their volatility is mostly insignificant.
摘要:本文从新结构主义的视角出发,提出了拉美国家的一个发展难题:外部性(贸易条件波动加剧和技术落后)、收入不平等和人均收入之间的三角关系。我们采用一个联立方程模型,使用三阶段最小二乘(3SLS)来分析这种三角关系。我们发现,1995年至2014年间,14个拉美国家收入不平等的减少和人均收入的增加是相互促进的。尽管技术进步提高了人均收入,但它通过增加收入不平等在一定程度上缓解了这种增长。此外,外国技术来源,包括外国直接投资(FDI)对收入不平等的日益严重的影响在技术能力较高的国家得到缓解。虽然商品贸易条件的改善预期会增加南美国家的人均收入并减少收入不平等,但其波动性大多微不足道。

ABSTRACT Firm-provided training is generally seen as an important tool for bridging the skills gap between the labour force and what the private sector demands. Little is known about how successful such training can be in closing the gender wage gap. We use a matched employer-employee panel dataset to assess why firms train and whether formal training affects wage outcomes in Vietnamese SMEs. Training is generally found to be firm-sponsored and specific in nature. We find that training is associated with higher wages for trained women as compared to both untrained women and men. However, we do not find a statistically significant wage difference between trained women and men. Furthermore, the wage increase is only associated with on-the-job training. Our findings indicate that, at least in Vietnam, firm-sponsored on-the-job training could help increase women’s labour productivity and thus contribute to closing the gender wage gap.
企业提供的培训通常被视为弥合劳动力与私营部门需求之间技能差距的重要工具。人们对这种培训在缩小性别工资差距方面的成功程度知之甚少。我们使用匹配的雇主-雇员面板数据集来评估企业为什么进行培训,以及正规培训是否会影响越南中小企业的工资结果。培训通常是由公司赞助的,性质特殊。我们发现,与未经培训的女性和男性相比,受过培训的女性的工资更高。然而,我们没有发现受过训练的女性和男性之间存在统计学上显著的工资差异。此外,工资增长只与在职培训有关。我们的研究结果表明,至少在越南,公司赞助的在职培训可以帮助提高妇女的劳动生产率,从而有助于缩小性别工资差距。

ABSTRACT The increasing frequency of negative rainfall shocks presents households with the challenging choice of whether to send their children to school or to withdraw them in order for them to provide support in the household. We use high-resolution spatial rainfall data matched with the georeferenced Uganda National Panel Survey data to estimate the effect of negative rainfall shocks on children’s school attendance. We find that exposure to negative rainfall shocks significantly reduces children’s school attendance by almost 10%. These results have important policy implications for improving children’s schooling, particularly in geographical areas that receive particularly erratic rainfalls, in Uganda.
日益频繁的负降雨冲击给家庭带来了一个具有挑战性的选择:是送孩子上学,还是让孩子退学,以便他们在家庭中提供支持。我们使用高分辨率空间降雨数据与地理参考乌干达国家小组调查数据相匹配,以估计负降雨冲击对儿童入学率的影响。我们发现,暴露在负降雨冲击下,儿童的入学率显著降低了近10%。这些结果对改善乌干达儿童的教育具有重要的政策意义,特别是在降雨量特别不稳定的地理区域。

ABSTRACT What are the effects of biometric and digital technologies on social protection for the poor in India? Drawing on ethnographic research from rural Tamil Nadu, this paper presents evidence of how new technologies are experienced by beneficiaries of the Public Distribution System (PDS), and analyses the impacts of technology innovations on transparency, exclusion and mediation. The authors focus on the implementation of ‘smartcards,’ new digitised and Aadhaar-enabled ration cards, introduced in ration shops across Tamil Nadu in 2017. They first document how digitised smartcards and mobile text messages transform transparency for beneficiaries by introducing new opacities and information gaps. They then demonstrate how a lack of transparency (re)produces forms of exclusion that remain a challenge under the automated PDS. Finally, the paper highlights how novel forms of kin and non-kin mediation play a mitigating role in accessing PDS, and constitute a vital part of the infrastructure underpinning social welfare delivery.
摘要生物识别和数字技术对印度穷人的社会保护有什么影响?本文借鉴泰米尔纳德邦农村的人种学研究,提供了公共分配系统(PDS)受益者如何体验新技术的证据,并分析了技术创新对透明度、排斥和调解的影响。作者专注于“智能卡”的实施,这是一种新的数字化和Aadhaar功能的配给卡,于2017年在泰米尔纳德邦各地的配给店推出。他们首先记录了数字化智能卡和移动短信如何通过引入新的不透明性和信息缺口来改变受益人的透明度。然后,他们展示了缺乏透明度如何(重新)产生各种形式的排斥,这些排斥在自动化PDS下仍然是一个挑战。最后,本文强调了新型亲属和非亲属调解如何在获得PDS方面发挥缓解作用,并构成社会福利提供基础设施的重要组成部分。

Intergenerational effects of improving women’s property rights: evidence from India 改善妇女财产权的代际效应:来自印度的证据

ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the intergenerational effects following the positive changes in women’s inheritance rights in India. Using the Indian Human Development Survey data for rural India and a difference-in-differences strategy, we find that the property rights reform significantly empowered women through increased education. However, we find no intergenerational effect of the reform on children’s education. We explore two potential mechanisms to explain these results: the role of status conflict among spouses and that of a child’s birth-order and gender. Given that a woman’s bargaining power may depend on her relative position to that of her husband, we investigate this channel and find a significant decrease in children’s education in households where fathers are less educated than mothers. Accounting for a child’s birth-order and gender, we find no evidence of son-preference through the education channel.
本文分析了印度妇女继承权发生积极变化后的代际效应。利用印度农村人类发展调查数据和差异中的差异策略,我们发现产权改革通过提高教育水平显著增强了妇女的权能。然而,我们没有发现改革对儿童教育的代际效应。我们探索了两种潜在的机制来解释这些结果:配偶之间的地位冲突的作用以及孩子的出生顺序和性别的作用。考虑到女性的议价能力可能取决于她与丈夫的相对地位,我们调查了这一渠道,发现在父亲受教育程度低于母亲的家庭中,孩子的受教育程度显著下降。考虑到孩子的出生顺序和性别,我们没有发现通过教育渠道重男轻女的证据。

Foreign entry in the services sector and gender workforce composition 服务业的外国进入和劳动力的性别构成
IF 1.3 Q3 DEVELOPMENT STUDIES Pub Date : 2021-02-25 DOI: 10.1080/13600818.2021.1890706

ABSTRACT The services sector and multinational corporations have played an increasingly essential role in promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment in labour markets. This paper examines whether the entry of foreign firms into the services sector can affect the gender workforce composition of their domestic counterparts, and to what extent. The empirical analyses utilise a large panel dataset of firms in the labour-abundant economy of Vietnam. The data show a higher proportion of women employed in foreign firms than local ones across two-digit industries and regions. The estimations indicate that foreign entry induces domestic firms to hire women more intensively. Large, state-owned and less capital-intensive firms tend to employ men at a higher rate. Further analyses reveal divergent effects of foreign affiliates. While increased foreign entry strongly stimulates the hiring of women among local firms in male-intensive industries, it exerts an insignificant impact on gender workforce composition in the female-intensive group.
摘要服务业和跨国公司在促进劳动力市场中的性别平等和妇女赋权方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。本文研究了外国公司进入服务业是否会影响其国内同行的性别劳动力构成,以及影响程度。实证分析利用了越南劳动力充足经济中企业的大型面板数据集。数据显示,在两位数的行业和地区中,女性在外国公司的就业比例高于当地公司。估计表明,外国进入促使国内公司更密集地雇用妇女。大型国有和资本密集度较低的公司往往以更高的比率雇佣男性。进一步的分析揭示了外国子公司的不同影响。虽然外国进入的增加有力地刺激了当地公司在男性密集型行业雇佣女性,但这对女性密集型群体的性别劳动力构成影响不大。

Under a money tree? Comparing the determinants of Western and Chinese development finance flows to Africa 在摇钱树下?比较西方和中国发展融资流向非洲的决定因素
IF 1.3 Q3 DEVELOPMENT STUDIES Pub Date : 2021-01-07 DOI: 10.1080/13600818.2020.1865901

ABSTRACT China’s breakneck economic growth has been accompanied by an expanding development finance agenda. Many have hypothesized that China is undermining the West’s drive to promote good governance globally, and in Africa in particular, by predominantly distributing money to poorly governed countries. This paper explores whether the determinants of Chinese development finance in Africa differ from those of Western countries. It finds that Western countries send more development finance than China to better governed African countries—those with lower corruption levels, better democratic outcomes, and a better human rights track record (though only the latter two have a negative relationship with Chinese development finance in absolute terms). This paper also finds that bilateral trade and UN voting alignment have a stronger impact on China’s development finance than that of Western countries and that China allocates more development finance than the West to richer and more resource-dependent African countries.
摘要中国经济高速增长的同时,发展金融议程也在不断扩大。许多人认为,中国主要通过向治理不善的国家分配资金,正在破坏西方在全球,特别是在非洲促进善治的努力。本文探讨了中国在非洲发展融资的决定因素是否与西方国家不同。研究发现,西方国家向治理更好的非洲国家提供的发展资金比中国多,这些国家的腐败程度更低,民主成果更好,人权记录更好(尽管只有后两者与中国的发展资金有绝对的负面关系)。本文还发现,双边贸易和联合国投票结盟对中国发展资金的影响比西方国家更大,中国向更富裕、更依赖资源的非洲国家分配的发展资金比西方更多。

Many have hypothesized that China is undermining the West’s drive to promote good governance globally, and in Africa in particular, by predominantly distributing money to poorly governed countries. This paper explores whether the determinants of Chinese development finance in Africa differ from those of Western countries. It finds that Western countries send more development finance than China to better governed African countries—those with lower corruption levels, better democratic outcomes, and a better human rights track record (though only the latter two have a negative relationship with Chinese development finance in absolute terms). This paper also finds that bilateral trade and UN voting alignment have a stronger impact on China’s development finance than that of Western countries and that China allocates more development finance than the West to richer and more resource-dependent African countries.","PeriodicalId":51612,"journal":{"name":"Oxford Development Studies","volume":"49 1","pages":"149 - 168"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13600818.2020.1865901","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44505163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT “What explains the feeling of being disempowered? The literature on aspirations suggests subjectively deprived people may feel disempowered because they consider that any improvement to their lot is simply out of their reach. The present paper provides original and robust evidence that, alongside the well-known objective capabilities related to skills, assets and opportunities, psychological capabilities linked to aspirations also matter. Based on a Central African household survey and tackling endogeneity issues, we show that: (i) feeling subjectively more deprived decreases the probability of reporting a high level of empowerment, defined as power from within, that is the power to change one’s life; (ii) the probability of reporting empowerment decreases with the size of the aspirations gap, defined as the negative gap between one’s level of subjective wealth and the locality’s mean level; (iii) the capability framework is a relevant one to address the complex links between aspirations and empowerment.”
摘要“是什么解释了被剥夺权力的感觉?关于抱负的文献表明,主观上被剥夺权力者可能会感到被剥夺权力,因为他们认为对自己命运的任何改善都是遥不可及的。本文提供了原始而有力的证据,证明除了与技能、资产和机会相关的众所周知的客观能力外与志向相关的能力也很重要。基于一项中非家庭调查和解决内生性问题,我们发现:(i)主观上感到更加贫困会降低报告高水平赋权的概率,即来自内部的权力,即改变生活的权力;(ii)报告赋权的概率随着愿望差距的大小而降低,愿望差距被定义为一个人的主观财富水平和当地平均水平之间的负差距;(iii)能力框架是解决愿望与赋权之间复杂联系的相关框架。”
