Financialisation in the European Periphery
This book examines the case of Portugal throughout the process of financialisation, in particular the impact on its economy, work and social reproduction. This text is essential reading for students and scholars with an interest in examining the uneven mechanisms and impacts of global finance.
Financialisation in the European Periphery
In many European countries, the process of financialisation has been exacerbated by the project of closer EU integration and accelerated as a result of austerity policies introduced after the Euro crisis of 2010–2012. However, the impact has been felt differently in core and peripheral countries. This book examines the case of Portugal, and in particular the impact on its economy, work and social reproduction. The book examines the recent evolution of the Portuguese economy, of particular sectors and systems of social provision (including finance, housing and water), labour relations and income distribution. In doing so, it offers a comprehensive critical analysis of varied aspects of capi...
The Social Epistemology of Experimental Economics
Any experimental field consists of preparing special conditions for examining interesting objects for research. So naturally, the particular ways in which scientists prepare their objects determine the kind and the content of knowledge produced. This book provides a framework for the analysis of experimental practices - the Social Epistemology of Experiment - that incorporates both the ‘material’ and the ‘social’ dimensions of knowledge production. The Social Epistemology of Experiment is applied to experimental economics and in so doing, it introduces the epistemic role of the participation of human subjects in experiments and the causal efficacy of institutions in constraining and ...
The Tenacity of the Couple-Norm
The Tenacity of the Couple-Norm explores the ongoing strength and insidious grip of couple-normativity across changing landscapes of law, policy and everyday life in four contrasting national contexts: the UK, Bulgaria, Norway and Portugal. By investigating how the couple-norm is lived and experienced, how it has changed over time, and how it varies between places and social groups, this book provides a detailed analysis of changing intimate citizenship regimes in Europe, and makes a major intervention in understandings of the contemporary condition of personal life. The authors develop the feminist concept of ‘intimate citizenship’ and propose the new concept of ‘intimate citizenship regime’, offering a study of intimate citizenship regimes as normative systems that have been undergoing profound change in recent decades. Against the backdrop of processes of de-patriarchalization, liberalization, pluralization and homonormalization, the ongoing potency of the couple-norm becomes ever clearer.
Enhancing Human Performance
The chapters in this book have their origins in papers presented at one of two conferences organised by the Global Science and Technology Forum (GSTF): the Annual International Conference on Human Resource Management and Professional Development (HRM and PD) 2012, and the Annual Conference on Cognitive and Behavioural Psychology (CBP) 2013, both held in Singapore. On the basis of these presentations, authors were invited to re-work their papers to fit within the theme of “enhancing human performance”. This theme was deliberately broad so as to include a wide range of research areas, and yet was sufficiently specific that the chapters would cohere as different perspectives on the factors ...
Economias de Bem Viver - Contra o Desperdício das Experiências
É tão difícil imaginar o fim do capitalismo como imaginar que o capitalismo não tenha fim. O capitalismo, de forma articulada com as outras formas de poder modernas, o colonialismo e o heteropatriarcado, é hoje mais injusto e mais excludente em relação a grupos sociais mais amplos presentes em mais regiões do mundo do que em qualquer período anterior. A construção destas duas sociologias é o desafio a que nos propomos neste livro. Procuramos ampliar as possibilidades de pensar e reconhecer projetos concretos de emancipação com base em sociabilidades económicas, que resistem, ou estão para lá do capitalismo. Queremos levar a cabo um exercício coletivo de pensamento pós-abis...
Biomarkers of Cardiometabolic Risk, Inflammation and Disease
This book discusses recent advances in the area of cardiometabolic risk biomarkers of chronic inflammatory and cardiovascular disorders. Tackling the topic in a systematic manner, the book starts with an introduction to cardiometabolic risk and its clinical relevance, comparing emergent and classical biomarkers. It then goes on to discuss cardiometabolic risk biomarkers in a range of diseases, including diabetes, ischemic stroke and neurodegenerative disorders. Biomarkers of Cardiometabolic Risk, Inflammation and Disease is aimed at doctors specializing in internal medicine, neurology, cardiology, rheumatology, nephrology or endocrinology and will also be of interest to GPs, trainee doctors and clinical and basic researchers working on cardiovascular and autoimmune disorders.
Negative Emotions and Transitional Justice
Vehement resentment and indignation are pervasive in societies emerging from dictatorship or civil conflict. How can institutions channel these emotions without undermining the prospects for democracy? Emphasizing the need to recognize and constructively engage negative public emotions, Mihaela Mihai contributes theoretically and practically to the growing field of transitional justice. Drawing on an extensive philosophical literature and case studies of democratic transitions in South Africa, South America, and Eastern Europe, her book rescues negative emotions from their bad reputation and highlights the obstacles and the opportunities such emotions create for democracy. By valorizing negative emotions, either through the judicial review of transitional justice bills or the criminal trials of victimizers, institutions realize the value of respect and concern for all while contributing to a culture that is hospitable to democracy.
I Congresso do Alojamento Local
O alojamento local, surgido no âmbito da nova economia colaborativa, rapidamente se instalou na maioria das cidades portuguesas. No entanto, as diversas questões jurídicas que o mesmo suscita têm permanecido sem adequado tratamento, com a incerteza daí resultante, agravada em resultado de decisões contraditórias dos tribunais superiores. Em ordem a esclarecer esta nova realidade, pareceu-nos importante organizar um Congresso sobre este tema, permitindo aos especialistas, práticos, juristas e profissionais do ramo tomar conhecimento do regime do alojamento local nas suas diversas vertentes. Por generosidade dos oradores, foi possível elaborar textos escritos relativamente à maioria das intervenções, permitindo agora colocar à disposição de um público mais vasto este livro.
