Market Liberalism

Neoliberalism does not consider education a strategic investment. World Bank discourse for Latin America lacks a medium- and long-term view and is based on a short-term cost-benefit analysis. The Bank's education policy is determined by “adjustment” of countries' economies so that they can go on paying their external debts. The goal is to eliminate educational expenses for the states by keeping education for elites, breaking up and privatizing the large public education systems, and nullifying teachers' contracts. To justify its policy, the Bank argues that governments should stop financing secondary and higher education and instead focus on primary education, where investments would be more efficient. But at the same time, governments should shift the financing of primary education to the private sector. Teachers' unions are now at the forefront of opposition to the World Bank's education reforms.

Sectarian Conflict

Abstract “Sectarianization”—the political instrumentalization of sectarian identities—is a profitable strategy for many state and non-state actors. This paper presents a theory of sectarianization, as well as an accompanying typology. The paper does not seek to explain the causes of sectarian conflict; rather, the paper examines how third parties respond to exogenous instances of such conflict. The paper argues that third parties face incentives to cultivate strategic ambiguity about their own stances, especially amid significant religious and political competition. In such competitive environments, third parties appear to take stances based on the interaction among three factors: first, a short-term cost-benefit analysis of whether to take sides and if so, how far to align with either of the main two sectarian actors; second, pre-existing relationships between the third party and the two main sectarian actors; and third, a desire to maintain long-term credibility with the broadest audience possible.

<div><p>Evaporative cooler operating on solar energy is a viable option in places where there is scarcity of grid power and is also useful for short term storage of farm products. This paper analyzes the performance of a commercial cooler operated on the solar power and its cost benefit analysis. The cooler is operated on grid power in first part and on solar power in second part. The saturation efficiency, cooling capacity and the energy consumption is calculated in both the cases. The efficiency ranged from 41 to 70 %, cooling capacity from 4625 to 12079 kJ/h and energy consumption from 0.113 to 0.184 kW. The cost benefit analysis gives a payback period of about 11.5 seasons for the cooler if used for only comfort. If the cooler is used continuously for short term storage of farm products, then the payback period is estimated to be of 21.5 months. The optimization of solar panel, battery and inverter cost is suggested to have the early pay back of the investment cost. The cooler installation is recommended in place where there is shortage or frequent fluctuation of grid power.<em></em></p></div>

River Corridors

&lt;p&gt;Rivers developed for hydropower production are important electricity generators with an increasing role as a balancing power source in new wind-power dominated energy systems. However, hydropower constructed rivers also provide many ecosystem services, such as habitats for migratory fish species and opportunities for recreational activities. Currently, we see drastic changes in needs from society to use regulated river corridors for multiple purposes, and therefore, new approaches are needed to support the sustainable management of river resources. In our new EcoRiver-project we develop an integrated assessment framework and examine cost and benefits provided by hydropower constructed rivers. We use hydrodynamic modelling to quantify the ecosystem services and variability during short-term regulation practices (hydropeaking). Hydropower and energy markets modelling is used to examine the impacts of increasing demand flexibility on hydropower. Environmental valuation methods are applied to evaluate the ecosystem services monetarily. Finally, we integrate these methods for cost-benefit analysis in order to support well-informed decision making for river management.&lt;/p&gt;
