AbstractSocio-material conceptualisations of markets suggest that they are spatial formations. Yet, the everyday practical and spatial dimensions of market making have received little explicit attention. We thus introduce the concept of spatio-market practices, drawing on key ideas in market studies and spatial theory. We argue that examining spatio-market practices (and thus the spatial dimensions of markets) promises to provide fresh insight regarding what it takes to realise markets, their uneven distribution, and what and whom markets are (and are not) designed to serve. To demonstrate what the concept calls for, supports and promises, we take Humphreys’ (2010) influential paper as a starting point and draw on other secondary sources in order to articulate an alternative and spatially-oriented account of the growth and legitimacy of the American casino gambling market. This paper, in turn, contributes a subtle and yet incisive shift in thinking, which supports a more explicit means of exploring markets as spatial formations.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present modern marketing tools used by today’s businesses to maintain or strengthen the value of their brands in the conditions of deteriorating economic situation. The specific purpose is an analysis of activities that might be attempted by companies in emerging markets in order to increase the strength of their brands. Design/methodology/approach The paper presents the determinants of the development of brand value. An analysis has also been made of activities connected with the development of the brand based on the experience of the best brands in the world. Considerations are based on secondary sources, from national and international journals, books, magazines and specialist reports, as well as were supported by research results of the most valuable brands in the world. Findings The paper provides the insight of marketing activities, that may favor building brand value in the time of recession. It was suggested that recession may be a good time for some companies to invest in the brand. However, today’s competition conditions are forcing companies to used more modern marketing techniques in order to build a positive brand image. In addition, customers increasingly expect to be able to engage in brand and wish to influence its image. Practical implications The paper includes implications for companies in emerging markets, through which it is possible to effectively manage brand value in the time of crisis. These proposals are an important course of action for companies from emerging markets, which tend to increase the strength of its brand. Originality/value Due to the fact that the considerations in the paper relate to general proposals for action, the results can constitute a starting point for in-depth research in the future. An interesting issue would be to assess the effectiveness of the proposed activities in emerging markets.

Legal aspects of granting loans denominated and indexed in a foreign currencyThis study addresses the issue of the legality of the denominated and indexed loans in a foreign currency under the current applicable law, with reference to the existing position of doctrine and case law in this area. The starting point for this considerations is the arbitrarily accepted thesis in the public discourse that the credit agreements denominated and indexed in a foreign currency were defective due to their lack of compliance with the applicable law or because their included the provisions that were unfair market practices. This study is an attempt to dispel doubts to the compliance of the loan granting mechanism with the commonly applicable laws in Poland, in particular with the provision of Article 69 of the Banking Law, setting forth the rules of concluding by the bank the credit agreement with the borrowers or a provision of Article 358 § 2 of the Civil Code providing for the possibility of using so-called valorization clauses. This study also delivers opinion of the National Bank of Poland or the Financial Supervision Commission, which very often are deliberately omitted or distorted in the public discourse.

We investigate the history of education in colonial Brazil based on the formation of the city of Serro, one of the first gold towns occupied by the Portuguese metropolis in the 18th century. From the starting point of the colonization of the Serro do Frio mines in 1702 – documented in the book of record of the mines by the clerk Lourenço Carlos Mascarenhas de Araújo, we narrate the tensions between the literate and illiterate, between the colonizers and colonized, between the discoverers, indigenous peoples and African slaves. We show that education occurred in this context through the spontaneous teaching that takes place in daily life, in relations with the patron, with the Senate of the Chamber, and in the corporations of mechanical workshops for the construction of churches, creating an urbanity marked by race, economics and policies. The methodology is historical microanalysis, that is a microhistorical approach, with a reconstruction of narratives from primary and secondary sources. In addition to the narrative that reconstituted the history of education which occurred in the clash between Brazil and Portugal, or between Serro and Portugal, we sought parallels with Norbert Elias’ concept of civilizing process, Max Weber’s definition of modern bureaucratization, and Pierre Bourdieu’s conceptualization of how symbolic power operates to elucidate how and in what way informal education occurred in that context.

Blind Spots

In this article I take the blind spots in the liberal interpretation of modern Jewish thought as a starting point to argue for the necessity of adopting a decolonial framework for situating the critical thrust of Jewish intellectuals. I contend that this innovative approach illuminates the existential condition that became the driving force behind the articulation of Jewish subversions of modernity. While most liberal interpreters situate these as a result of the development of the nation-state, I show that this presumption of nineteenth/twentieth centuries (European) Jews leading the critical process ignores centuries of struggles and reproduces Eurocentric liberating qualities. As such it limits critical thought to the same spatial context where oppressive discourses emerged. As an alternative I contend that the critical thrust of Jewish thought is the outcome of a more long-standing process known as coloniality and encompassing the patterns of domination that developed in colonial contexts but exceeded their temporal and spatial dimensions. This process is traced back to the sixteenth century, when Jewish intellectuals became one group among other racialized collectives to attack the core of a 500 years-long process. I conclude by claiming that this framework can offer an invigoration of the field by re-evaluating disciplinary alliances, methodological frames, and geopolitical sensitivities.

AbstractThe article investigates the attempt by the German legislator to monopolize the national gambling market. Since January 2008, the new gambling treaty aims to organize the gambling market in a well-regulated manner as well as to reduce gambling addiction. An analysis of the market structure reveals that the treaty lacks a reasonable economic justification. Moreover, an empirical investigation of current market practices shows that the prohibition of online gambling has led to various monopoly avoidance strategies on the part of both the German gambling industry and gamblers themselves. Finally, the new regulation faces various legal challenges with respect to the EU Services Directive. The article proposes an alternative regulation, which may overcome the current economic and legal difficulties.

Abstract The company has to anticipate the reactions of each party and to prepare the decisional variants to make possible the achievement of the pursued goals. The external factors are difficult to control in the company and confer the exogenous variable character to the price. The most important of these factors are: demand, competition, distribution, legislation and inflation. The demand for a certain good is influenced by its price, constituting the determinant factor and also the non-price factor that appears under the name of the demand conditions. The inquiry of the secondary sources supposes the analysis of the records in regard with the sales and prices in previous period. The secondary data can serve as starting point in performing simulations of sales for different price levels. This information should also refer to the total sales in the market level and the competitors’ prices not only in sales and the company’s prices. On a competitive market, the main source to support profitability is the competitive advantage and not a held market share. The price must be a tool in supporting and functioning of the competitive advantage, leading to the idea that the price is the reflection of this advantage in the profit equation.

In light of the recent proliferation and co-presence of institutional and makeshift camps and encampments in Europe, this article explores the current multifaceted geographies of the camp and their formal and informal spatialities. By engaging with key work in ‘camp studies’ we analyse contemporary institutional and makeshift refugee camps in their complex relationship. While the review of the existing literature is a fundamental starting point for our analysis, in this article we propose to depart from a perspective exclusively focussed on institutional camps to incorporate a reflection on the informal encampments that have recently proliferated in Europe. In particular, we reflect on how these makeshift spatial formations are associated with the presence and workings of institutional camps, at times in a complementary, almost symbiotic relationship. We conclude by suggesting that camps should not be studied in isolation and that both institutional and informal camps should be examined as dynamic spaces that may be transformed and appropriated by their residents, becoming part of the current fragmented mobilities of irregular migrations across Europe and of the related political geographies of bordering, smuggling, and humanitarian care.

Mixed Ethnicity

The geographical distribution of mixed-ethnicity (or mixed-race) couples is an important indicator of the spatial dimensions of cultural ‘mixing’ in a given society. A small number of studies have mapped the residential geographies of mixed-ethnicity couples, revealing distinctive residential patterns that differ from those of each partner’s respective ethnic group. Most such analyses have adopted broad pan-ethnic or racial categories (e.g. ‘black-white’, ‘white-Asian’). The Australian Census – which eschews broad racial categories – provides an opportunity to explore the unique residential geographies of different ‘types’ of mixed-ethnicity couples . Using customised 2011 Census data, this paper maps the residential geographies of diverse mixed-ethnicity couples in Australia’s most populous cities: Sydney and Melbourne. We focus on couples where one partner nominated ‘Anglo-European’ ancestry and the other nominated one of five ‘minority’ ancestries. Our findings highlight the value in disaggregating the coarse pan-ethnic or racial groupings adopted in some existing studies, and prescribed in some national censuses. The residential geographies of mixed-ethnicity couples challenge established perspectives on urban ethnic landscapes. As these couples grow in number, particularly in immigrant societies, they have the potential to fundamentally reshape established ethnic residential geographies away from patterns of residential segregation. Fine-grained analyses such as ours provide scope to explore the myriad directions in which these shifts will unfurl. They also provide a starting point for better understanding the preferences and pressures that shape the residential geographies of diverse mixed-ethnicity couples.
