Abstract

International audience; As decisions on climate change adaptation involve stakeholders with different values, beliefs and attitudes (VBA), decision outcomes depend on how stakeholders interact and how power is distributed. In this paper, we explore the VBA of stakeholders involved in three water management projects focusing on dams, micro-reservoirs, or wetlands in a Peruvian watershed facing droughts. We apply a framework with the core ideas of the hydrosocial cycle, the decision context perspective, and the VBA hierarchy to show how stakeholders’ perspectives and power influence practices on the ground. The analysis of VBA reveals three different perspectives on water management held by different stakeholder groups. First, a community-based perspective, frequent among local communities, favors micro-reservoirs managed by communities. Second, an infrastructure-based perspective, frequent among public sector stakeholders, shows a preference for dams managed by the private sector. Third, a nature-based perspective, with a preference for wetlands managed by the public sector, is found across stakeholder groups. In the three water management projects, different power distributions determine which VBA dominate and influence practices on the ground. Dams on the ground represent power from the public and private sectors, while micro-reservoirs represent local grassroot control. In the wetland project, the outcomes of the evolving hydrosocial cycle are still unclear and will depend on how multiple perspectives are considered. Examining and questioning the decision context in which adaptation occurs can help excluded stakeholders achieve more power and agency and tackle the fundamental question of ‘adaptation of what and for whom’.

Abstract

This paper was presented for the first time during the 2018 SASE Annual Conference that was held in June 2018 at Doshisha University. A revised version of this paper is to be published in The Japanese Political Economy.; This paper aims at finding out how the shareholder-value pursuit has affected labor policies at large Japanese listed enterprises. It concentrates on the issue of labor bifurcation, whereby the proportion of nonregular employees has grown rapidly over the last two decades, currently approaching the numbers of regular employees.In Japan, corporate governance reforms became key to structural macroeconomic changes according to the 2013 “Japan Revitalization Strategy” formulated by the Cabinet Office. This document mandated the creation of the JPX-Nikkei Index 400 – an index called to accommodate the most investor-friendly joint-stock companies. The move towards a shareholder model has been further reinforced through a rapid surge in foreignstockholding that started during the post-bubble period of the mid-1990s. At the same time, the externalities of increased returns to stockholders have been the changes in the related domains of management and labor, which I explain through the application of the political economic theory. This theory underlines the importance of inclusion into a “political bloc” for being eligible for economic benefits. Consequently, I argue that increased returns to politically privileged shareholders have been achieved at the expense of a growing proportion of unprivileged nonregular employees.The evidence yields support to the argument about the positive correlation between shareholder value and the proportion of nonregulars. On the other hand, foreign stockholding does not appear to be significantly correlated with the increase in nonregular employment. In turn, the study has found that the proportion of nonregular employees is significantly correlated with domestic ownership that characterizes higher managerial entrenchment.

Abstract

This article highlights, at time of democratic disillusionment, the transformation of the citizenship done by the civil society organizations, related to the Economy of Solidarity, on the Parisian territory. In this context, we analyse, comparatively speaking, NGO's with their root historicaly anchored in the parisian territory and young NGO's, also called "NGO's entrepreneurs". This analysis is based on a large scale empirical survey, mixing observations, focus group and semi-structured interviews. The author questions here four dimensions in the renewal of the "updated" citizenship: how the creator of an NGO tries to find new ways of work, the reinvention of new democratic and extensive way of life, the ambivalence of politization, and the strewing of common democratic values., Résumé L'article s'intéresse, à l'heure du désenchantement démocratique, à la recomposition de la citoyenneté exercée par les acteurs associatifs de l'économie solidaire du territoire parisien. Dans ce cadre, et en prenant appui sur une enquête empirique de grande ampleur et ses premières hypothèses et résultats, mêlant observations, focus groups et entretiens semi-directifs, il analyse de manière comparative des associations de l'économie solidaire, historiquement ancrées sur le territoire parisien et également un sous-ensemble de jeunes associations appelées en l'état «entrepreneurs associatifs» parisiens, ici au coeur de notre exposé. L'auteure interroge ici quatre dimensions de renouvellement de la citoyenneté qui ont pu être mises en évidence: la place de l'entrepreneur fondateur dans la construction de nouvelles formes de travail, la réinvention d'un mode de vie démocratique totalisant, les contours d'une politisation ambivalente et les potentialités de diffusion de ces nouveaux modèles démocratiques.
