Human Rights PRAXIS and the Struggle for Survival
"Human Rights Praxis and the Struggle for Survival offers critical analysis of contemporary politics and options for students, scholars, organizers, and stakeholders to grapple with some of the most pressing social problems of human history."
De Jure vs. De Facto Rights
Blau's ( ) argument for a Constitutional Project implies that changes in the U.S. Constitution would ensure fundamental adherence to human rights standards. We disagree with the assumption that legal and institutional instruments are guarantors of human rights practice. Instead, we see rights practices as the function of power struggles that include but go far beyond formal law. Instead, we emphasize an important distinction between de jure human…
Victims of Terrorism and the Right to Redress
The U.N. Global Counterterrorism Strategy (A/RES/60/288) recognizes that the war on terror can only be won by protecting the rights of its victims. However, almost a decade since its adoption, the application of a human rights framework to the protection of the rights of victims of terrorism has been largely neglected. A 2012 report by U.N. Special Rapporteur Ben Emmerson sought to address this inattention, recommending that member states provide…
Racial Disparities in Access to Mortgage Credit
Objectives. This article examines the effect of community organizing on the likelihood that minority borrowers pursue home mortgage credit from regulated lenders. Methods. Governance perspectives suggest that community organizations exert significant influence on policy outcomes. We use logistic regression with interaction terms to test the effect of community organizing on the lending outcomes of minority borrowers. We use a matched control samp…
Whiteness as Property
With the recent economic crisis in the USA, stories of homes lost to foreclosure are increasingly common. In this paper, we attempt to connect this present day problem to its historical roots in racial oppression. We examine 2004 data from the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act database for racial disparities in lending. We find that African Americans are less likely than European Americans to receive loans from regulated lenders. We also find that reg…
Contention and Corporate Social Responsibility
What Will States Really Do For Us? The Human Rights Enterprise and Pressure from Below
International human rights standards and treaties have been plagued with disputes over the relevance and power of international law with regard to state sovereignty. These disputes commonly result in states' failure to realize the rights and standards outlined by such human rights instruments. What if states cannot or will not provide fundamental dignities to their people? Moreover, how does global restructuring affect states' ability to implemen…

Corporate Welfare Policy and the Welfare State
Financial Institutions and Social Transformations
Big Money Crime
At a cost of $500 billion to American taxpayers, the savings and loan debacle of the 1980s was the worst financial crisis of the twentieth century as well as a crime unparalleled in American history. Yet the vast majority of its perpetrators will never be prosecuted, and those who were have received minimal sentences. In the first in-depth scrutiny of the ways and means of this disaster, this groundbreaking book comes to disturbing conclusions ab…

The Dialectics of White-Collar Crime
TWO perspectives prevail in analyses of the savings and loan industry's crisis of the 1980s and early 1990s: on one hand are claims of individual fraud and greed; on the other are arguments focusing on organizational factors, particularly the deregulated environment in which lax or nonexistant oversight encouraged "collective embezzelment." Both approaches rely on a narrow conceptualization of the concept of white-collar crime that focuses on ide…

American Elites
The Dialectics of State Economic Intervention
Much research has been devoted to analyses of the factors that influence the creation and implementation of state policy. Conventional theories of the state suggest interesting frameworks for understanding the savings and loan bailout legislation. However, they are limited because they have stalled in a debate predicated on the presumption of theoretically mutual exclusivity. While an increasing number of observers have begun to call for a synthe…
Banking on Fraud
In analyzing the fraud-facilitated leveraged buyouts engineered by Michael Milken and the firm of Drexel Burnham Lambert, the author suggests that such buyouts have multiple and extensive consequences for the organization of business and the economy. Zey also demonstrates how ordinary bond trading networks were linked to the extraordinary networks of the Boesky Organizations and Employee Private Partnerships in order to defraud bond issuers and b…

The Power of Collective Purse Strings
Finance Capital and Uneven Development
Bank Hegemony Research and its Implications for Power Structure Theory
This paper reviews case studies of bank hegemony research, illustrating the challenges it poses for power structure theory to develop a more dynamic model of power and to take into account modern organized capital flow relationships, both locally and globally
Power, Finance Capital, and Urban Crisis
Ownership and Control of Corporations
The rapid growth of the platform economy has provoked scholarly discussion of its consequences for the nature of work and employment. We identify four major themes in the literature on platform work and the underlying metaphors associated with each. ...Read More

The Political Economic Power of Finance Capital and Urban Fiscal Crisis
What causes urban decline andfiscal crises in American cities? Continued debate has genemted several theoretical explanations: bureaucratic ineffciency and corruption, product life cycle, manker-oriented investment, and capital mobility. A case study analysis of a city in crisis reveals the processes of crisis formation and resolution and enables us to examine the utility of these models. None of these models suflciently explains Cleveland’s defb…
