The Working Class Perspective The histories of the welfare state have hitherto, on the whole, been written from above. Their searching eye has been firmly fixed on governments and Civil servants, and mainly with a view to looking into what the latter have contributed to the development of what from today's perspective appears to be the main feature of the welfare state, social insurance and large-scale income maintenance programmes. The best of these works embody an impressive scholarship, combining meticulous with imagination and subtlety.1 But their approach tends to preclude from the outset a full understanding of the emergent reality of the welfare state. After all, the latter arose as form of dealing with what was once called "the working and dangerous classes".

  • DSA's Options and the Socialist International DSA Internationalism
    DSA’s Options and the Socialist International DSA Internationalism Committee April 2017 At the last national convention DSA committed itself to holding an organizational discussion on its relationship to the Socialist International leading up to the 2017 convention. The structure of this mandatory discussion was left to DSA’s internationalism committee. The following sheet contains information on the Socialist International, DSA’s involvement with it, the options facing DSA, and arguments in favor of downgrading to observer status and withdrawing completely. A. History of the Socialist International and DSA The Socialist International (SI) has its political and intellectual origins in the nineteenth century socialist movement. Its predecessors were the First International (1864-1876), of ​ ​ which Karl Marx was a leader, and the Second International (1889-1916). In the period of ​ the Second International, the great socialist parties of Europe (particularly the British Labour Party, German Social Democratic Party, and the French Section of the Workers International) formed and became major electoral forces in their countries, advancing ideologies heavily influenced by Marx and political programs calling for the abolition of capitalism and the creation of new systems of worker democracy. The Second International collapsed when nearly all of its member parties, breaking their promise not to go to war against other working people, rallied to their respective governments in the First World War. The Socialist Party of America (SPA)—DSA’s predecessor—was one of the very few member parties to oppose the war. Many of the factions that opposed the war and supported the Bolshevik Revolution came together to form the Communist International in 1919, which over the course of the 1920s became dominated by Moscow and by the 1930s had become a tool of Soviet foreign policy and a purveyor of Stalinist orthodoxy.

    Theo Koritzinsky 90-TALLSREFORMENE: PERSONER OG STRUKTURER – FAG OG POLITIKK INNLEDNING Denne artikkelen behandler noen trekk ved 1990-åras utdanningsreformer. Hovedfokus rettes mot sammenhengene mellom de generelle styringsreformene for hele utdanningssystemet og grunnskolereformenes beslutningsprosesser og innhold. Jeg legger særlig vekt på følgende beslektete problemstillinger: Hvilken innflytelse i beslutningsprosessene hadde den politiske ledelse og fagfolkene i Kirke-, utdannings- og forskningsdepartementet (KUF), politikerne i Stortinget, lærernes interesseorganisasjoner og pedagogiske forskningsmiljøer? I hvilken grad var beslutningsprosessene preget av konsensus/harmoni innenfor og mellom ulike aktørgrupper? I hvilken grad var aktørenes verdier, interesser, forslag og beslutninger preget av mer strukturelle føringer fra markedet og dominerende ideologier? Artikkelen bygger på mine undersøkelser av de norske utdanningsreformene i 1990-åra, med særlig vekt på samspillet mellom beslutningsprosesser, innhold og oppfølging som gjelder grunnskolen. I disse undersøkelsene tar jeg utgangs- punkt i læreplanteori, didaktisk relasjonstenkning, organisasjons- og beslut- ningsteori. Mine primærdata er hentet fra kvalitativ og kvantitativ innholds- analyse av rundt åtti offentlige dokumenter og delvis strukturerte intervjuer med rundt seksti av de viktigste deltakerne i beslutningsprosessene. Undersøkelsene er i hovedsak dokumentert i boka om læreplanen av 1997, Pedagogikk og politikk i L97 – Læreplanens innhold og beslutningsprosessene, men

  • Trade Union Responses Towards Platform Capitalism In
    University of Amsterdam Graduate School of Social Sciences Comparative Labour and Organisation Studies Master Thesis: TRADE UNION RESPONSES TOWARDS PLATFORM CAPITALISM IN THE NETHERLANDS Candidate: Petar Marčeta Student number 11213000 Supervisor: Dr. Johan J. De Deken Second reader: Prof. Dr. Maarten Keune Amsterdam, July 2018 Trade union responses towards platform capitalism in the Netherlands Abstract This thesis sets out to investigate some of the issues arising from the expansion of platform capitalism, approaching it from a critical, industrial relations perspective. Going beyond misleading conceptualisations such as the “sharing” or “collaborative” economy, it examines how the changes brought about by platforms are imbedded in the wider context of contemporary capitalist political economy, with prevailing trends towards flexibilisation and labour market recommodification. This research aims to find out how the trade unions in the Netherlands are currently shaping their strategies in response to these developments. These questions are answered, first by identifying and classifying union responses through frameworks developed for researching trade union responses to non-standard labour and secondly by discussing several potential explanations for these responses. The thesis claims that one of the main issues of platform capitalism from the perspective of trade unions is the misclassification of workers as self-employed persons. Consequently, the main instrument used by trade unions at this moment is litigation, with organising and media campaigning the preferred options for the future. Finally, the thesis argues that the most probable explanations of trade union strategies in response to platform capitalism are those that take into account the context of flexibilisation and deterioration of labour market standards as well as changing trade union ideologies.
