This study aims to analyze the privatization policy of PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. The critical paradigm using the Political Economy of Accounting (PEA) theoretical framework becomes a tool used to describe pre-privatization and post-privatization performance. The results showed that post-privatization Garuda Indonesia’s financial performance tended to decrease. While the distribution of profits (wealth) to employees and shareholders (investors and government) is not done with the maximum. Distribution is only visible to employees and creditors but the increase is not due to the value distributed but it’s because of the increase in the number of employees and the main requirement of Garuda Indonesia related to business expansion.

The president and the network of offices that are linked to him, in modern presidential democracies, symbolize a neutral state that does not meddle in order-threatening political struggles. It however seems that this liberal ideal is hardly the case in many illiberal democracies. Against this background, this article examines the presidential roots of public disorder in post-military Nigeria. Drawing on documentary data source and deploying neo-patrimonial theory as theoretical framework, it argues that the presidency in Nigeria, given the historical context under which it has emerged as well as the political economy of neo-patrimonialism and prebendalism that has nurtured it, is a central participant in the whole architecture of public disorder. The paper recommends, among others, the fundamental restructuring of the Nigerian neo-colonial state and the political economy that undergird it.Keywords: Imperial Presidency; Neo-patrimonialism; Disorder; Authoritarianism; Nigeria.

In many otherwise diverse societies, owners of large agricultural estates have paid their year-round workers with the use of a piece of land on which to produce their own subsistence crops. In a “preliminary report” Magnus Morner cited some eleven examples of this system in Europe, Latin America, and Africa. Although Mörner mentions different influences, he does not advance an argument to explain these systems. This essay seeks to contribute to our understanding of the political economy of these “labor rent” or “estate labor” systems. The paper is exploratory: previous approaches are considered, a theoretical framework is proposed, and some tentative hypotheses are presented. My evidence comes from three examples: the Insten system of East Elbian Germany from ca. 1750 to ca. 1860; the ‘izbah system of the Egyptian Delta from ca. 1850 to ca. 1940; and the pre-1930 inquilinaje system of Central Chile.

Most research on administrative burdens focuses on measuring their impact on citizens’ access to services and benefits. This article fills a theoretical gap and provides a framework for understanding the organizational origins of administrative burden. Based on an extensive literature review, the explanations are organized according to their level of intentionality (deliberate hidden politics or unintended consequences) and their level of formality (designed into formal procedures or caused by informal organizational practices). The analysis suggests that administrative burdens are often firmly rooted in a political economy of deeply engrained structures and behavioral patterns in public administration.

Abstract A growing number of scholars have documented how social identities defined by an attachment to place influence individuals’ understandings about political power and representation. Drawing on this theoretical framework, we explore how place-based identities matter for American federalism by documenting how attachments to the American states alter individuals’ decisions to leave, or exit, as well as to welcome newcomers into their local communities. Using a set of conjoint experiments designed to measure individual attitudes about place, politics, and America’s federal polity, we find evidence that Americans hold deep and consequential attitudes about the places in which they live. Our evidence confirms that state identities are still highly relevant in shaping American federalism and the competitive pressures between intergovernmental jurisdictions. While federalism may encourage individuals to leave, federalism also nourishes place-specific attachments, motivating people to stay.

Resumo: Procura-se neste texto refletir sobre processos de produção do espaço metropolitanoem formações sociais periféricas, tendo como referência a expansão recente da metrópolede Belo Horizonte (BH), localizada no estado de Minas Gerais, no Brasil, propondo um resgate de conceitos da chamada economia política da urbanização, atualizando as discussões acerca das condições gerais de produção (CGP). Sintetizam-se, inicialmente, os processos econômicos e socioespaciais responsáveis pela formação da metrópole de BH, identificando-se aquelesmais recentes e associados ao chamado Eixo Norte de expansão metropolitana, caracterizadospor grandes empreendimentos estatais. Em seguida faz-se uma breve revisão do suporte teórico selecionado para a análise urbana/metropolitana, procurando-se transcender os conceitos da economia política da urbanização, utilizando-se para isto a contribuição de Henri Lefebvre sobre a produção do espaço. A atualização deste suporte teórico – especialmente do conceitode CGP – no contexto atual é realizada na terceira seção. Por fim, procura-se sintetizar as reflexões teóricas, indicando a necessidade de se considerar tanto os pressupostos da economia política da urbanização quanto a sua transcendência para o entendimento de processos recentesde urbanização e metropolização no Brasil e em outros países periféricos.Palavras-chave: América Latina; Belo Horizonte; economia políticada urbanização; empreendedorismo urbano; espaço metropolitano; produção do espaço. Abstract: The article addresses the contemporary production of metropolitanspace in peripheral social formations. Having the recent metropolitan expansion of BeloHorizonte, in the state of Minas Gerais, in Brazil, as a basic reference, some concepts ofthe so-called political economy of urbanization are revisited, shedding new light onto the discussions concerning the “general conditions of production” (GCP). At first, the economicand socio-spatial processes behind the formation of the metropolis of BH are summarized,highlighting those which are more recent and related to the so-called Northern Axis ofmetropolitan expansion, which is driven by public investments. Afterwards, the article bringsa brief revision of the theoretical framework selected for the urban/metropolitan analysis, usingHenri Lefebvre’s contributions on the production of space in order to transcend the conceptsof the political economy of urbanization. The third section aims to contribute to an update ofthis theoretical framework – especially regarding the idea of the GCP – to the current context. Finally, these theoretical considerations are condensed, indicating the need to consider both thebasic assumptions of the political economy of urbanization and its transcendence for a properunderstanding of recent urbanization and metropolitanization processes in Brazil.Keywords: Belo Horizonte; Latin America; metropolitan space; space production;urban entrepreneurism; urban political economy.

This review essay investigates three areas of academic study in order to better answer the question of what the political economy of open social scholarship might look like in the future. By synthesizing research in the areas of history, sociology, and diplomatics (a subdiscipline within the field of information science), this article suggests that an integration of the three will be necessary in order to better address the ways scholarship should be regulated in the future. Fundamentally, scholarly communication is about “documents” and how they are evaluated and authenticated over time. Diplomatics is a discipline grounded in history that studies documents, and, when combined with the insights of history and sociology, can perhaps provide a useful theoretical framework for understanding the political economy of scholarly communication.
