La Maestría en Relaciones Laborales de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP) rinde homenaje a su fundador con este libro que tienes entre tus manos. Nuestro deseo fue lograr su publicación con su presencia, pero, lamentablemente, Denis nos dejó el pasado 19 de setiembre de 2022, antes de materializarlo. Denis Sulmont fue el primer director de nuestra maestría a fines de los noventa, luego de una vasta trayectoria académica en nuestra universidad, impulsó la conformación de una maestría que estudiase las relaciones laborales desde la multiplicidad académica (Sociología, Derecho, Economía, Gestión y Psicología) dando forma a una interdisciplinaridad como herramienta metodológica y conceptual de estudio. En realidad, la maestría refleja su forma de abordar el análisis de las relaciones laborales. Este Libro homenaje es elaborado en base al propio pensamiento de Denis, es decir, seleccionando alguno de los temas desarrollado por él, las autoras y los autores escriben sus artículos desde una interpretación actualizada, manteniendo vivo y vigente su pensamiento.
Since women account for almost 50 percent of the world's population, the sustainability of development of the global economy can be greatly impaired if the state authorities in individual countries pay less attention to the improvement in the socio-economic status of women relative to men. Improvement in socio-economic status which facilitates empowerment of individuals is greatly dependent on conducive informal institutions and state institutions. This book is the first of its kind to critically examine the role of these institutions in women's empowerment in five continents in the world. The analysis of the role of institutions in individual countries is underpinned by a robust theoretical background presented in the first three chapters. The chapters on individual countries also include a section dealing with recommendations for changes in state policies affecting women's empowerment.
Initially published in 1983, in association with the International Labour Organisation (ILO), this book is about the meaning, relevance and process of agrarian reform in contemporary developing countries. It includes seven detailed case studies – one each on Ethiopia, Peru, Chile, Nicaragua, Iran, Kerala, (India) and West Bengal (India). In all the cases, serious contemporary efforts were made to implement agrarian reform programmes and the case studies focus upon selected aspects of this reform process – origins, basic characteristics, problems of implementation and immediate consequences. Each region differs considerably in terms of socio-economic and administrative conditions, but when the reform efforts are placed in their respective historical contexts, several common themes emerge which are dealt with in detail. In all cases, it is clear that agrarian reform is essentially a political process, requiring major social movements and that piecemeal reforms will not solve the grave problems of growth, distribution and poverty in the Third World.
This multidisciplinary book examines the potential of economic and social rights to contest adverse impacts of neoliberalism on human wellbeing.
