AbstractSince it was first agreed in the autumn of 1998, the English Compact has achieved international status, as a marker of – or vehicle for - a new and improved relationship between the state and the third sector. Over the twelve years or so since its first publication, it has been supplemented by local compacts across the country and has been ‘refreshed’ or renewed twice. As such it has proved remarkably durable across time and space. But the political context in which it operates has now changed. A government committed to partnership has been replaced by one with a strong ideological commitment to limiting the powers and role of the state. How will this affect its future role?

Novel Corona virus crisis and the political & security & economic repercussions have retrieved the discussion and the debate about the relations of globalization and the position of the national state within it. Although the relations of globalization that prevailed in the pre-epidemic stage have greatly reduced the interventionist role of the state in favor of broader groupings or blocs of the state, the nature of the crisis facing the world today necessitated the adoption of treatments led by the national state through imposing isolation measures, and Social distancing and providing the available resources to deal with the economic effects and realigning the priorities so that the internal issues occupy the first rank in the scale of concerns. This research seeks to explain the nature of the role played by the national state in light of the Corona crisis, which was associated with a noticeable decline in the mechanisms and relationships of globalization by adopting the narratives of the descriptive and analytical approach in dealing with the phenomenon of the topic of research, which was divided into three paragraphs, the first examines globalization and difficult testing, and the second deals with the state Patriotism is the tax of staying or forced attachment. As for the third, it deals with globalization and the Corona crisis through analyzing the repercussions that resulted from this pandemic and represented by the political, security and economic repercussions.

Chapter 7 draws together some of the lessons that can be learned from the experiences of three small European countries in responding to homelessness. It is clear that responses to homelessness are embedded and enmeshed in the political and administrative culture of the individual countries, particularly the role of the state, both centrally and locally, in the provision of housing, welfare, and social services. Homelessness cannot be responded to as a separate issue from this broader context, and this is particularly the case in Finland and Ireland, where the roles of the state and market are understood very differently.

Employing the concept of unfree labor, this article explores the role of the state in reinforcing victims’ vulnerability and shaping the political economy of trafficking practices. Based on a case study of trafficking victims in Benjina and Ambon, Maluku Province, Indonesia, I argue that Indonesian authorities’ intervention was driven not by humanitarian interest, nor by the concern for the protection of migrant workers’ rights, but rather by the intent to advance a political and economic agenda against the Thai fishing industry. Consequently, the intervention ignored the exploitative relations of production that underpinned the vulnerability of victims, despite being conducted in the name of victim-protection and improving livelihoods.

Summary Studies of the diffusion of new workplace technologies and management practice often fail to account for differences in state labour regulation. This article examines the role of the state in seeking to regulate the introduction of an American system of computerized work monitoring in the Australian grocery warehouse industry. While the establishment of a government inquiry into the technology offered the potential for significant constraints upon management control, over time the state’s role shifted to a more accommodating stance that endorsed management’s right to use the new technology. The reasons underlying the state’s ultimate support for the technology are explored, as are the broader implications for national variations in the global diffusion of new workplace technologies.

EstEste artigo visou analisar a relação do turismo de base comunitária e o uso do território na comunidade ribeirinha de Anã no município de Santarém, estado do Pará. Sendo assim, neste artigo, trazemos uma breve análise do turismo de base comunitária desenvolvido em Anã, uma comunidade ribeirinha situada em uma unidade de conservação localizada no município de Santarém, denominada de Reserva Extrativista Tapajós-Arapiuns. Neste estudo, ainda levamos em consideração o papel do Estado e da ONG Projeto Saúde e Alegria na produção do espaço para o TBC. Desta forma, realizamos uma revisão bibliográfica sobre TBC, Estado e Terceiro Setor, fundamental para subsidiar a realização do trabalho de campo. Destarte, partimos da premissa que o turismo de base comunitária é uma contraponto ao turismo convencional, por assim dizer uma contra-racionalidade hegemônica. E é dentro dessa abordagem, que identificamos que o turismo de base comunitária desenvolvido em Anã, ainda não se configura como uma contra-racionalidade, uma vez que a ONG PSA atua com hegemonia frente ao turismo de base comunitária, e isso se perpetua principalmente pelas ações e inações do Estado na comunidade ribeirinha de Anã. The Tourism Community Based on a riverside community of the Amazon: The Case of Anã in Extractive Reserve Tapajos-Arapiuns, Santarém (PA, Brazil) ABSTRACT This article aimed to analyze the relationship of community-based tourism and the use of land in the riverside community of Anã in the municipality of Santarém, state of Pará (Brazil). So in this article we bring brief analysis of community-based tourism developed in Anã, a riverside community located in a protected area in the municipality of Santarém, called Extractive Reserve Tapajos-Arapiuns. This study also took into account the role of the state and the NGO Projeto Saúde e Alegria – PSA in the production of space for TBC. Thus, we conducted a literature review of TBC, State and Third Sector, critical to support the preparation of field work. Thus, we assume that the community-based tourism is a counterpoint to conventional tourism, so to speak a hegemonic counter-rationality. And it is within this approach, we identified that the community-based tourism developed in Anã, is not yet configured as a counter-rationality, since the PSA NGO operates with front hegemony to community-based tourism, and this is mainly perpetuated by actions and inactions of the State in the riverside community Anã. KEYWORDS: Community Based Tourism; Riverside Community of Anã; State; NGO Projeto Saúde e Alegria.

ABSTRACT This comment came to refute and correct the idea of Charles (2007) about the negatively implications in the income distribution when the government expand the consumption in favour to households. We prove that the political choice, to both cases (increasing consumption or increasing profit), impact positively the income distribution and does not affect the essential nature of the Kaldor neo-Pasinetti dynamic equilibrium results and the “Cambridge Equation”. The stability of the model is guarantee by applying the Olech’s Theorem to the case.

Abstract: This paper discusses how the capitalist media industry has been structurally transformed in the age of digital communications. It takes an approach that is grounded in the Marxian critique of the political economy of the media. It draws a distinction between media capital, media-oriented capital, media infrastructure capital and media-external capital as the forms of capital in the media industry. The article identifies four capital strategies that media capital tends to use in order to try to maximise profits: a) The substitution of “old” by “new” media technology, b) the introduction of new transmission channels for “old” media products, c) the definition of new property rights for media sectors and networks, d) the reduction of production and transaction costs. The drive to profit maximization is at the heart of the capitalist media industry’s structural transformation. This work also discusses the tendency to the universalization of the media system in the digital age and the economic contradictions arising from it. It identifies activity fields of the media industry’s structural transformation and shows how the concentration of the capitalist media markets is an essential, contradictory and inherent feature of the capitalist media system and its structural transformation. The paper identifies six causes of why capital seeks to employ capital strategies that result in the media industry’s structural transformation. They include market saturation, overaccumulation, the tendency of the profit rate to fall, capital-concentration, competition pressure, and advertising. The paper finally discusses the role of the state as an agent of capital in general and media capital in particular. It discusses the role of the state in privatisations, neoliberal deregulation, the formation of national competitive states, and various benefits that the state provides for media capital. This contribution shows that capital and capitalism are the main structural transformers of the media and communications system. For understanding these transformations, we need an approach that is grounded in Marx’s critique of the political economy.Translation from German: Christian Fuchs and Marisol Sandoval

Gramsci revised classical Marxist accounts of the role of the state in society, culture and ideology, and stressed the autonomy of the political process from the economic base. Sociologists often labelled neoWeberian also focus on social change, the state and the political process. Michael Mann, whilst remaining discrete from Marxism has nevertheless moved away from classical Weberian sociology, engaging deeply with materialism in analysing the state. This article compares the work of Gramsci and Mann regarding the state, to examine whether a genuine synthesis is possible between Gramsci (perhaps the first ‘neo-Marxist’) and Mann, a neoWeberian.
