The phenomenon of ERTs in Argentina (Empresas recuperadas por sus trabajadores) gains popularity from the financial crisis years of 1999-2002. The resulting drastic fall in gross national product, high rates of inflation, increased levels of unemployment, poverty etc., reflected the severe weaknesses and limitations of the neoliberal institutions in Argentina. This phenomenon was also determined by specific historical patterns, such as the state interventionism, a long tradition of trade unionism and workers? struggles as well as a long and extensive tradicion of cooperativism. According to the latest survey, there are more than 300 ERT in Argentina (311), employing over 13.000 workers. (Ruggeri et al 2014). The survey results show that 95% of the ERT are self-organized under the organizational and legal framework of workers? cooperatives. The main objective of this paper is to provide a political economic and social overview of the rise and establishment of ERTs in Argentina over the past two decades. Moreover, the legal and institutional preconditions that significantly encourage, limit, and condition the scope of workers? cooperatives, will be analyzed. In this analysis we will rely on the results of research on ERT that have been done in last 10 years, as well as on historical analysis of legal and institutional framework.

<p align="justify">La Comunidad Autónoma de las Islas Baleares dispone hoy de una Administración de notable relieve, resultado del proceso de desarrollo del modelo de Estado de las autonomías. En este artículo se pretende ofrecer una visión panorámica de cómo ha ido evolucionando la Administración autonómica durante los últimos treinta años hasta hoy en día, reflexionando sobre los principales cambios producidos por los Estatutos de Autonomía de 1983 y 2007. Así, a partir de las previsiones estatutarias en materia de organización de las instituciones de autogobierno, de estructuración de una Administración propia y de régimen jurídico de la Administración, este trabajo aborda el marco jurídico que ha sustentado –y sustenta– el despliegue de la Administración autonómica. Pero también analiza el entramado organizativo autonómico, incluyendo la organización ordinaria pero también la instrumental, así como las últimas medidas adoptadas en materia de simplificación y transparencia administrativa, en clara sintonía con la normativa comunitaria y la integración europea. <strong>The Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands now has a significant management, result in the development process model of the autonomous state. This article aims to provide an overview of trends over the autonomous administration for the past thirty years until today, reflecting on the major changes brought about by the Statute of Autonomy of 1983 and 2007. Thus, from the statutory provisions on the organization of self-government institutions, of building a self-management and legal status of the Administration, this paper addresses the legal framework that has supported-and-supports the deployment of the Administration autonomous. But it also analyzes the regional organizational framework, including the ordinary organization but also instrumental and the recent measures on simplification and administrative transparency, in tune with Community law and European integration.</strong></p>

Economic And Financial Crisis

This article assesses the past and current balance of independence with accountability for the European Central Bank (ECB). The concept of accountability is adapted to the central bank context, notably with the contextualisation of ‘accountable independence’ in the early ECB’s inception. Different endogenous and exogenous determinants might influence such balance. If initially a communication-driven strategy embodied a somehow weak accountability regime, additional accountability practices – beyond the Treaty provisions – progressively readjusted the balance; yet, without guaranteeing to call and fully hold the ECB to account. The magnitude of the responsibilities assumed by the ECB in the recent years, after the economic and financial crisis, triggered an increased demand for accountability. The intensification of ECB’s accountability practices, the provision of justifications beyond mere explanations and an increased scrutiny over the ECB all demonstrate an ongoing step towards an enhanced accountability regime. This is nevertheless a potentially reversible oscillation of the balance towards more accountability. The legal framework for ECB’s accountability seems flexible enough to encompass accountable independence, independence but accountability, to a third-metre waltz of independence and accountability.

The Global Financial Crisis

Due to Russia’s exit from the global financial crisis, the fiscal policy of withdrawing windfall spending has exhausted its potential. It is important to refocus public finance to the real economy and the expansion of domestic demand. For this goal there is sufficient, but not realized financial potential. The increase in fiscal spending in these areas is unlikely to lead to higher inflation, given its actual trend in the past decade relative to M2 monetary aggregate, but will directly affect the investment component of many underdeveloped sectors, as well as the volume of domestic production and consumer demand.

This study uses the two largest available American English language corpora, Google Books and the Corpus of Historical American English (coha), to investigate relations between ecology and language. The paper introduces ecolinguistics as a promising theme for corpus research. While some previous ecolinguistic research has used corpus approaches, there is a case to be made for quantitative methods that draw on larger datasets. Building on other corpus studies that have made connections between language use and environmental change, this paper investigates whether linguistic references to other species have changed in the past two centuries and, if so, how. The methodology consists of two main parts: an examination of the frequency of common names of species followed by aspect-level sentiment analysis of concordance lines. Results point to both opportunities and challenges associated with applying corpus methods to ecolinguistc research.

Current Governance

Since the 1990s and Bill Clinton’s embrace of key parts of Ronald Reagan’s legacy, mainstream US governance has been guided by a bipartisan consensus around a formula of shrinking the federal government’s responsibilities and deregulating the economy. Hailed as the ultimate solution to the age-old problem of governing well, the formula was exported to the developing world as the Washington Consensus. Yet growing political polarization weakened the consensus, and in a series of three major crises over the past two decades—9/11, the global financial crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic—US policymakers opted for pragmatism rather than adherence to the old formula, which appears increasingly inadequate to cope with current governance challenges.

Cyber Crimes

The technological revolution 4.0 brings great opportunities, but also cybercrimes to economic sectors, especially to banks. Using secondary data and survey results of 305 bank clients, the main findings of this paper are: (i) there are several types of cybercrimes in the banking sector; (ii) Vietnam is one of the top countries worldwide having hackers and being attacked by hackers, especially the banking sector. Three most common attacks are skimming, hacking and phishing. Number of cybercrime attacks in Vietnam are increasing rapidly over years; (iii) Vietnamese customers are very vulnerable to cybercrime in banking, as more than 58% seem to hear about cybercrimes, and how banks provide services to let them know about their transactions. However, more than 50% do not have any deep knowledge or any measures for preventing cybercrime; (iii) Customers believe in banks, but do not think that banks can deal with cybercrime issues well. They still feel traditional transactions are more secure than e-transactions; (iv) the reasons for high cybercrimes come from commercial banks (low management and human capacity), supporting environment (inadequate), legal framework (not yet strong and strict enough on cybercrimes), and clients (low level of financial literacy). Therefore, several solutions should be carried out, from all stakeholders, for improving the cybersecurity in Vietnamese banks.

The articles published in our Fall 2016 edition are connected loosely under the themes of public memory and the uses of identity in the past. We are thrilled to present to you three excellent articles in our Fall 2016 edition: The article "Dentro de la Revolución: Mobilizing the Artist in Alfredo Sosa Bravo's Libertad, Cultura, Igualdad (1961)" analyzes Cuban artwork as multi-layered work of propaganda whose conditions of creation, content, and exhibition reinforce a relationship of collaboration between artists and the state-run cultural institutions of post-revolutionary Cuba; moving through fifty years of history “’I Shall Never Forget’: The Civil War in American Historical Memory, 1863-1915" provides a captivating look at the role of reconciliationist and emancipationist intellectuals, politicians, and organizations as they contested and shaped the enduring memory of the Civil War; and finally, the article “Politics as Metis Ethnogenesis in Red River: Instrumental Ethnogenesis in the 1830s and 1840s in Red River” takes the reader through a historical analysis of the development of the Metis identity as a means to further their economic rights. We wholly hope you enjoy our Fall 2016 edition as much as our staff has enjoyed curating it. Editors  Jean Middleton and Emily Kaliel Assistant Editors Magie Aiken and Hannah Rudderham Senior Reviewers Emily Tran Connor Thompson Callum McDonald James Matiko Bronte Wells
