Over Time

Just as unemployment dominated the political agenda of the 1930s, so inequality has come to dominate the concerns of both rich and poor countries in the twenty-first century. Contrary to what is widely believed, inequality across countries has been declining since the 1980s, driven primarily, but not exclusively, by the rise in incomes in China. Looking at inequality within countries, on average inequality is much higher in poor than in rich countries. Changes over time in inequality are modest, compared with differences across countries. We observe a world with countries which have policies, or politics, which generate high inequality and ones which generate much lower inequality. There is little link between inequality and growth on average across the world.

And Gender

An entire Occidentalist tradition of citizenship theory viewed citizenship as a modern, progressive institution that helped overcome particularities of unequal social origin. Contrary to the claims of this (mainly male) Western scholarly tradition, the article argues, first, that the institution of citizenship has developed in the West through the legal (and physical) exclusion of non-European, non-White and non-Western populations from civic, political, social and cultural rights; these exclusions, and thus citizenship as such, have historically been (en)gendered. Second, the article maintains that citizenship and gender are the most decisive factors accounting for extreme inequalities between individuals in rich and poor countries in the twenty-first century. Forms of racialization, sexualization and precarization to which the acquisition of citizenship and the corresponding gain in social mobility are linked today are illustrated with examples of practices to subvert citizenship law through marriage or childbirth in countries relying primarily on jus sanguinis and jus soli, respectively.

When one looks at the twenty-first century it is clear that the extrapolation of high technology must lead to disaster. The factors are arms escalation, increase of the gap between rich and poor countries, growth of deserts, exhaustion of easily won raw materials, especially hydrocarbons, the cumulative effects of pollution, and increasing unemployment. Necessary steps towards a stable world are for the rich countries to accept a considerable reduction in their use of resources, to provide everyone with an interesting and well paid job and to shift a steadily increasing fraction of their engineering R & D resources from weaponry to co-operative production of equipment for the poor countries.

Education In Mexico

This analysis sheds light on planning education in Mexico. One important question that the paper addresses is: Are planning programs forming professionals capable of addressing the challenges that cities and regions face in the twenty-first century? The study draws upon a content analysis of 253 course syllabi and a database of 128 employed local planners. The results of the analysis suggest that planning curricula are still very much embedded in the rational model and there is a challenge for strengthening the curricula with more communicative skills that are valuable in a postmodern society.
