AbstractRapid growth among a few large firms distinguished the early years of cotton manufacture in South Korea. A review of expansion and concentration in the industry, and case studies of the T'aech'ang and Kyungbang firms, provide evidence of extensive structural support managed by the state, and also of favoured access to such support for the larger cotton mills. In contrast to earlier studies critical of the state role, I argue that the agencies and protectionist legislation of the state under Syngman Rhee played a productive, indeed decisive, role in promoting concentration and productivity among the early mills.

To understand the distinctiveness of ports under state socialism, it is necessary to shift the focus from the built environment to flows of people, goods, knowledge and capital. In so doing, this article examines the operation of Yugoslavia's main shipping line, Jugolinija, from its inception in 1947 until 1960. This enterprise was based in the port of Rijeka, with both firm and port experiencing rapid growth during this period. The impact of state socialism can be seen in the primacy of the political over the profitability of the firm, with Jugolinija used to advance Yugoslavia's foreign trade and foreign policy, its interests being subordinated to the project of building self-managed socialism. It can also be seen in the unique challenges posed by having to operate at the intersection of the global market and a highly regulated economy – a situation that also created opportunities for the firm as a whole, as well as for its employees, who had access to foreign currency, travel and knowledge of the world. Jugolinija's privileged access to the world in what was still very much a closed society also created opportunities for ‘leaks’ of personnel and goods. Finally, socialist ideology left its imprint on Jugolinija's operations and shaped the ways in which its employees understood their work and the place of the firm within the Yugoslav economy. While it is tempting to see state socialism as ‘getting in the way’ of Jugolinija's business, in actuality the firm was remarkably successful both at operating within the Yugoslav socialist state framework, and capitalizing on the opportunities provided by access to the global market. Jugolinija's employees, in turn, profited from the mobility that came with working for the firm, sometimes at the expense of the enterprise and the state.

Young workers' early years in the labor market are a key and formative time. Using data from 31 countries, this article documents the selection of labor market entrants into large firms, which existing literature associates with propitious environments for young workers. The young and inexperienced are underrepresented at large firms compared to experienced and older workers. Entrants who do get their first job at large firms are positively selected in terms of education and cognitive skills. The patterns of large-firm selection (i.e., importance of education vs. skills) somewhat differ between Europe, East and Southeast Asia, and North America.

Este artigo apresenta a pesquisa sobre as festas cívicas realizadas nas ruas de Sergipe, entre 1923 e 1930. Nesse intervalo temporal, aconteceu algo inusitado, e os historiadores sergipanos não se debruçaram a estudar: o declínio das comemorações republicanas nas ruas. Este estudo ganha relevância, principalmente, porque se sucedeu no governo de Graccho Cardoso a presidente do estado, considerado pela historiografia sergipana como um governante desenvolvimentista, especialmente, na área da educação. Assim, o objetivo é examinar o percurso das festividades, tentando perceber os indícios deixados nas fontes sobre as formas de participação de indivíduos e instituições envolvidos nesses momentos de celebração; e, as representações utilizadas naquele momento histórico. Para tanto, utilizamos diversos documentos para que pudéssemos cruzar as informações, com o intuito de podermos lançar um novo olhar sobre esse período. Dessa forma, utilizamos os conceitos de Representações, de Roger Chartier; de indivíduos, de Norbert Elias; e do paradigma indiciário, de Carlo Ginzburg.The school invade streets: parades civic of the sergipeans groups school. Civility and patriotism in urban space. Article search civic parties in Sergipe held in the streets, between 1923-1930. In this time interval, there was something unusual, and that the Sergipeans historians pored studying: the decline of republican celebrations in the streets. This study becomes relevant, especially because this fact began under President Cardoso Graccho the President of the State, considered by sergipana historiography as a developmentalist - and especially in education. The objective is to examine the course of the festivities, trying to understand the clues left in the sources of the forms of participation; individuals and institutions involved in these moments of celebration; and the representations used in that historic moment. Therefore, we use various documents so that we could cross the information, In order that we can launch a new look at this period. Thus, we used the concepts: Representations of Roger Chartier; individuals of Norbert Elias and the indiciary paradigm of Carlo Ginzburg. Keywords: Civic Parties; First Republic; Representations.
