Mass Strikes and Social Movements in Brazil and India
This review of Jörg Nowak’s Mass Strikes and Social Movements in Brazil and India highlights the book’s ambition and hopefulness. It ambitiously explores an area of labor- and social-movement theory in which powerful minds have offered insights but important leaps forward are necessary to make sense of the current moment. The book is additionally ambitious because it tackles recent phenomena in two disparate, enormously complex, and influential c…
Mobility in Blue-Green Spaces Does Not Predict Covid-19 Transmission
Mobility restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic ostensibly prevented the public from transmitting the disease in public places, but they also hampered outdoor recreation, despite the importance of blue-green spaces (e.g., parks and natural areas) for physical and mental health. We assess whether restrictions on human movement, particularly in blue-green spaces, affected the transmission of COVID-19. Our assessment uses a spatially resolved dat…
Deep Determinants of Corruption? A Subnational Analysis of Resource Curse Dynamics in American States
Drawing on comparative resource curse literature and American literature on the determinants of corruption, we argue that the impact of natural resource extraction on corruption outcomes is state-dependent. That is, in environments where corruption is already high, natural resource windfalls allow political actors and economic elites to take advantage of state brokerage, further increasing corruption. However, in previously less-corrupt states, i…
Social Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurship, Collectivism, and Everything in Between
This article uses prototypes and continuous dimensions to place social entrepreneurship in relation to other organizational forms. This approach is more fruitful than classical attempts to stipulate essential characteristics and establish boundaries. A prototype and continuous dimension approach allows consideration of the way social entrepreneurship functions similarly to and differently from related concepts, such as traditional entrepreneurshi…
Political Economy of Post-Conflict Statebuilding in Central America
Response to Gerald M. Easter's review of State-Building and Tax Regimes in Central America
This valuable review of my book identifies core points and three potential areas of deepening: newly emerging elites, additional cases, and the challenge of fiscal sociology research in Central America. I address each in turn. As noted, contemporary elites share many characteristics with traditional elites, who are accurately described as incestuous, exclusive, and self-perpetuating. Some of the newly emerging elites are indeed drawn from the ver…
Workers, New Orleans, and the global shipbuilding regime
This article focuses on what happens to local labour markets when global employers relocate, using the example of Avondale shipyard at the edge of New Orleans, which provides almost 5,000 good jobs but is currently threatened with shutdown. Drawing on surveys, focus groups, and interviews with Avondale workers conducted during the last six months of 2011, it demonstrates the high levels of human and social capital accumulated by Avondale workers …
Privatization, Marketization, and Neoliberalism—The Political Dynamics of Post-Katrina New Orleans
Hurricane Katrina was a “disaster” both “natural” and “social.” The storm destroyed a major American city that, like most American cities, was already the site of great inequality and vulnerability. It also dramatically put to the test both the logistical capabilities and the political responsibilities of national, state, and local governmental institutions. The Neoliberal Deluge: Hurricane Katrina, Late Capitalism, and the Remaking of New Orlean…
Governance Reform and Institutional Change in Brazil
This paper contrasts two processes of governance reform in Brazil in the 1990s: federal relations and tax. The degree of institutional change possible in each case depended on whether powerful actors reached a new social pact. Discarding old social pacts in favour of new ones was not easy, however, and it only occurred when the interests and powers of actors had shifted sufficiently through a series of incremental changes. In the case of federal …
Responding to fiscal stress
Despite similar external shocks and pressures, Brazilian state leaders varied in the timing and the manner in which they adjusted to fiscal stress. Some state leaders rapidly switched to market-oriented strategies that cut public intervention in the economy. Other state leaders delayed adjustment, and when they finally put their accounts in order it was through market-governing strategies that preserved government activism. In part, these differe…
Who Gets What from Whom? The Impact of Decentralisation on Tax Capacity and Social Spending
This project studies patterns of decentralisation and public finance in 68 countries where local and national statistics are available. Six indicators of decentralisation are clustered around fiscal, administrative and political dimensions, and these dimensions had independent and surprising relationships with the resources governments collected and what they did with their money. First, politically decentralised regimes taxed less overall and sp…
Competitive Institution Building
In the late 1990s, the Workers' Party (PT) government of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul introduced participatory budgeting, a process in which citizens establish annual investment priorities in public assemblies. This innovation was one of several attempts by incumbent parties to structure political conflict using budget institutions. The character of participatory budgeting is most evident in its policymaking processes and policy outco…
Aid and Governance
Will more aid help developing countries? The answer to this question depends on our view of states in developing countries. Two views prevail. One view sees aid undermining government accountability to citizens, propping up autocratic regimes and disappearing into the pockets of corrupt officials. Another perspective sees aid contributing crucial fiscal and administrative capacity that helps governments better serve their people. In fact, neither…
Bases de um novo contrato social? Impostos e Orçamento Participativo em Porto Alegre
Apesar do crescente interesse por formas alternativas de participação política, entre as quais o Orçamento Participativo (OP), pouco se tem estudado se essas novas modalidades estão incidindo na estruturação de um contrato social mais eficiente e duradouro. Talvez tal situação seja atribuída ao fato de que se considera que o pagamento de tributos é uma obrigação legal e, portanto haveria pouco a ser analisado neste terreno. A perspectiva deste ar…
Conflito político e instituições orçamentárias
A maioria das democracias combina práticas democráticas e autoritárias, criando um subtipo híbrido. O presente projeto examina variações no grau de democracia e busca suas causas na federação brasileira. Em particular, o projeto examina variações no grau em que atores fora do poder Executivo, especialmente legisladores e a sociedade civil, conseguem desempenhar um papel afirmativo no processo orçamentário. Os orçamentos são com freqüência atribuí…
Accountability and Capacity in Developing Country Federalism
State extraction depends in part on the degree and type of accountability to citizens. Accountability relationships are especially complex in federal systems, where multiple and overlapping jurisdictions must compete to respond to, and extract from, common citizen bases. The current project examines the operation of accountability and taxation in India. India has always been a centralised federation in which a powerful central government, made ev…
Decentralization
The Politics of Brazilian Development Strategy
Brazil approaches the 2002 elections with a sitting president who was once a leading thinker of the Latin American left and whose occasional minister and intellectual ally Luiz Carlos Bresser Pereira has written a social democratic analysis of Brazilian political economy. Why, then, has Brazil been moving belatedly but decisively toward neoliberalism since the Real Plan of 1994? The answer lies in Pereira's social demo
