WHERE ARE THE WOMEN? GENDER,LABOR, AND DISCOURSE IN THE NOIDA EXPORT PROCESSING ZONE AND DELHI

Abstract

Export processing zones (EPZs) are like islands of globalization. Much of the literature on EPZs and export-oriented industries (EOIs) notes a preponderance of women who are constructed as “cheap,” “nimble fingered,” and “docile” labor. This literature is dominated by socialist feminist thinkers, and this paper argues that there is a need to incorporate the insights of postmodern feminist thinkers. The article focuses on the role that language, discourse, and subjectivity play in the gendering process in handmade jewelry production in the Noida Export Processing Zone (NEPZ) and in the ranch production units related by common ownership in Delhi, India. It thus gives “voices” to women and men, and brings out their agency in structuring the labor market. The study confirms that gender division of labor is a product of discursive and material practices that are reproduced through discourses into which different actors invest, and that feed into the gendered subjective identities of these actors.     

Institutional Bioeconomics and the Division of Labor: Reflections on Yarbrough & Yarbrough' Paper

The New Institutional Economics might have significant interactions with the economics of non-human societies. Some possibilities are considered in connection with the ideas of Yarbrough and Yarbrough on human societies. First, the need for enforcement may be less when the organisms in question treat one another as resources. Second, theories of the division of labor that have been developed in biology are applicable to human societies. There may be some interesting alternatives to traditional sociobiology as well.

世界城市理论研究的发展脉络与新进展

文章通过梳理中外世界城市理论的研究文献指出,世界城市理论发展主要经历四个发展阶段,并演化为"基础:新国际劳动分工—主体:控制中心—形式:生产者服务业—内容:流动"的研究框架。20世纪90年代以来,世界城市理论研究领域进一步扩展,研究方法不断更新,但其在解析世界城市历史演进、形成与发展内在逻辑等方面仍显乏力。

Use of Linear Programming to Find an Envy-Free Solution Closest to the Brams–Kilgour Gap Solution for the Housemates Problem

Although the Gap Procedure that Brams and Kilgour (2001) proposed for determining the price of each room in the housemates problem has many favorable properties, it also has one drawback: Its solution is not always envy-free. Described herein is an approach that uses linear programming to find an envy-free solution closest (in a certain sense) to the Gap solution when the latter is not envy-free. If negative prices are allowed, such a solution always exists. If not, it sometimes exists, in which case linear programming can find it by disallowing negative prices. Several examples are presented.     

林区分工论与国有林区发展

分析了国有林区发展面临的形势与障碍，认为国有林区管理体制不顺是最突出的关键性问题。从新形势下对林业分类经营思想的再思考出发，认为仅仅从森林或林业的视角来研究和探求国有林区发展所面临的矛盾与问题，是远远不够的。要创新国有林区发展理念，按照林业分工论的理念和原则对国有林区管理职能进行分工，实现生态体系建设、经济体系建设和社会体系建设的专业化经营与管理。
