For organizations to have the growth that the global economy demands, they must bet on improvement alternatives that fully involve the entire system. One of these alternatives is to bet on the improvement of integral logistics, since it serves as a connection between production and markets. This research proposes the generation of a model for the improvement of the logistics system in a geological and petrographic laboratory, in the southeaster region of Mexico, with the sole purpose of adding value and providing alternative solutions to current or future problems that arise. It is also proposed to design an instrument that measures the current situation in logistics and provides a comprehensive scenario that serves as a starting point for improvement strategies. This instrument is created tailored to the company and introduces intangible aspects called factors so that with the help of the Likert scale they are transformed into qualitative values, and thus carefully visualize the study problem. The entire study is analysed and interpreted by the researcher, and with the help of the company's experts, it is considered to obtain reliable and secure information.

In this essay, Charles W. Mills seeks to catalyze a comparable recognition of Du Bois’s theoretical achievements in political philosophy. Since Du Bois engaged critically with many different forms of political thought, his beliefs do not neatly align with any one political philosophy, challenging scholarly orthodoxies to the point of exclusion by mainstream scholarship. However, recent work in slavery, American capitalism, and global economy has aligned with Du Bois’s theories, and his influence is increasingly acknowledged in shaping discussions of race. Mills argues that Western political philosophy, especially in its modern form, is heavily dependent on racial categorization and subjugation, despite its supposed commitment to free and equal citizenship for all. Du Bois recognized the need to reframe Western philosophical concepts in order to establish black political equality and critiqued this framework, providing a starting point for the black political thinkers to come after him.

This article responds to Peck’s call for a heterodox economic analysis of markets that is sensitive to their sociality and spatiality with Polanyi’s work as a starting point. It is argued that while Polanyi’s concept of the socially embedded economy offers a useful heuristic for apprehending the social foundations of economic activity, his analysis exhibits ‘market fetishism’ – a tendency to treat markets as things in and of themselves, without a proper appreciation of their inherently social foundations – and that this is reflected in broader scholarly discourses with respect to markets. Thus, it is argued, we need to augment Polanyi’s framework with other heterodox economic insights. The article outlines a four-step approach to ‘de-fetishizing’ markets. First, the article foregrounds the specifically capitalist nature of the global economy, and the ‘unique system of market dependence’ to which capitalist social relations give rise. Second, it is argued that de-fetishizing markets requires that an agent-centred approach be adopted. Rather than viewing markets as ‘things’ it is argued that they are most usefully understood as the interactions between agents, the most significant of which, within the contemporary global economy, is the large capitalist firm. Third, the interaction between such agents is structured by pervasive frameworks of rules. Fourth, it is argued that markets are inherently spatial phenomena. They are spatially constituted and contribute to the production of space.

The Impact

Various risks and uncertainties are strengthening the downside of the global economy. This paper aims to estimate the impact of the US–China conflict and the World Trade Organization (WTO) Appellate Body’s shutdown on global logistics demand and to show the seriousness of the situation. Existing literature studies on protectionism or the US–China trade conflict were considered, with a focus on the effects of specific issues or impact on bilateral relations. No research has quantitatively considered the adverse effects of the Appellate Body’s shutdown. In this situation, questions can be raised whether the current global shipping logistics system can be sustainable or not. This paper attempts to estimate the shrinking demand for shipping logistics due to global protectionism. Using a dynamic general equilibrium model and trade-cargo-container conversion methodology, which differentiates this paper from previous studies, the paper suggests that the combination of tariffs and NTBs can severely reduce international trade and the demand for maritime logistics services. Depending on the scenario, port cargo is expected to decrease by 3.95 to 6.9 trillion tons, which can be half of the global cargo. Based on these estimates, this paper suggests that a catastrophe could occur in global trade order as well as global maritime logistics. Finally, underlining that the international trade order should not be severely damaged, this paper proposes that countries around the world should seriously discuss this issue at the 12th WTO Trade Ministers’ Meeting in Kazakhstan in June 2020.

Starting Point

The absence of accurate information on the state of waste is a challenge to the solid waste management system in Syria. The local authorities commonly estimate the quantity of waste produced and its characterisation, which is the starting point for solid waste management planning. So, this paper aims to evaluate the generation and composition of household solid waste in Homs city, Syria. Also, the study presents factors influencing the waste generation rate and the waste composition. The study was carried out in 300 families from four zones in Homs city, and three sampling stages were conducted during the study duration, which started in July 2017 and ended in February 2019. The outcomes show that an average of 0.68 kg/per/day solid waste generated was calculated for the entire study area in Homs city. Also, the data analysis presents that organic waste constitutes the largest component in the waste mixture (69.1%) followed by plastic (10.6%), inert materials (8.7%), paper (4.6%), textile (2.5%), metal (1.2%), glass (1.1%), wood (0.6%), and hazardous materials (1.6%). The multiple linear regression results showed that the adjusted R2 value was found to be 0.557, 0.839, and 0.709 for the waste generation per capita, the daily household organic waste generation, and the daily household packaging waste generation, respectively. Also, according to Pearson’s coefficient values, a positive correlation was found between household waste generation and monthly income (r = 0.626), household size (r = 0.37), and age of the household head (r = 0.517), whereas a negative correlation was found between household waste generation and the education level of the household head (r = −0.649).

Is the EU obliged to issue financial compensation to its Member States? Is such an obligation stipulated in the EU’s primary treaties, or demanded by its federal structure or by the principle of democracy itself? In this study, after examining the current situation in this respect, the author addresses these questions from a legal perspective especially, while also taking approaches and concepts from political science, finance and economics into account. In doing so, she comes to the conclusion that the EU is actually not obliged to issue such compensation, but that the foundations of its treaties and its federal structure do open up far-reaching opportunities in this regard. Moreover, an ordered and durable system of financial compensation can also prevent the entire system from becoming destabilised if one or several of the EU’s Member States find themselves in severe financial difficulties.

Intermodal Logistics

The changes increasingly accentuated in recent years in the global economy, in the context of globalization, have created an environment in which transport sector must adapt continuously. This adaptation process acts especially at intercontinental level, involving that transport and distribution of goods and raw materials on long distances to be as efficient in terms of duration and costs of transport and, at the same time, with reduced negative implications on the environment. The achievement of transport processes, in equilibrium conditions between demand and supply, in relation to limitations mentioned above, is possible by promoting intermodal transport, which requires a very good connection between continental modes (road and rail transport) and shipping. According to European Commission, about 90% of total import / export trades at the level of European Union are done by maritime transport. This paper aims at identifying potentials of generation / attraction of travels made on road transport at the level of intermodal node represented by seaport of Constanta. These trips generation / attraction potentials may be further used as input data in dimensioning processes of intermodal logistics facilities (handling, storage and internal transport) between road and sea transport modes. In the frame of the study are processed and analyzed data obtained through origin - destination surveys conducted during general traffic census carried out in 2010, on the network of European, national and county roads of Romania. Also, were processed data regarding types and volumes of goods transited through this port in the period 2005-2010, and the types of ships used to load these goods. Statistically analyzing these two types of data, it was revealed that grain represents 34% and petroleum products 57% of all goods (in terms of weight) handled in the seaport of Constanta, and also that the continental transport mode predominantly used to move these categories of goods is road transport. The results of performed analyzes, that describe the current situation regarding the trade flows in the port unit, constitute the starting point in traffic modeling for the purpose of freight transport planning at future time moments. Models for traffic estimation in ports take into account the predictions about economic development in influence area on short, medium and long terms.
