Abstract This essay contributes to the development of an analytical political sociology examination of postcommunist policy pathways and applies such an analysis in a reinterpretation of the social policy pathways taken by Hungary and Poland. During the critical historical juncture of the early 1990s, governments in these new democracies used social policies to proactively create new labor market outsiders (rather than merely accommodate or deal with existing outsiders) in an effort to stifle disruptive repertoires of political voice. Microcollective action theory helps to elucidate how the break-up of hitherto relatively homogeneous clusters of threatened workers into newly competing interest groups shaped the nature of distributive conflict in the formative first decade of these new democracies. In this light, we see how the analytical political sociology of postcommunist social policy can advance and modify current, predominantly Western-oriented theories of insider/outsider conflict and welfare retrenchment policy, and can inform future debates about emerging social policy biases in Eastern Europe.

This text discusses institutional changes implemented in the recent period in Brazil. If they are not reversed in a future government, they will have, on the one hand, redefined the place of the state in the economy and society, resulting, among other consequences, in the shrinking of public policies in general, and especially of social policies; on the other hand, they will have substantially altered the country’s labor market, expanding the presence of the already important and structural segment of informal workers. They consist of the Constitutional Amendment 95 (EC 95) and the set of articles and provisions of the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT) that were amended by the labor reform. In the first section, aspects concerning the conditions inherited by the new government are analyzed; in the second one, we discuss the Constitutional Amendment 95; in the following section, we go over the labor reform and the labor market, both inherited from Michel Temer’s government. In section four, some of the ongoing measures of the new government are presented into detail.Keywords: Temer Government. Bolsonaro Government. Labor reform. Constitutional Amendment 95.

Caso elas não sejam revertidas em um futuro governo, terão, de um lado, redefinido o lugar do Estado na economia e na sociedade, resultando, entre outras consequências, no encolhimento das políticas públicas em geral e, especialmente, das políticas sociais; de outro, terão alterado substancialmente o mercado de trabalho do país, ampliando a presença do já importante e estrutural segmento de trabalhadores informais. São elas: a Emenda Constitucional 95 (EC 95) e o conjunto de artigos e dispositivos da Consolidação das Leis Trabalhistas (CLT) que foram alterados pela reforma trabalhista. Em sua primeira seção, são analisados alguns aspectos das condições herdadas pelo novo governo; na segunda, discutimos a Emenda Constitucional 95 e, na seguinte, vemos a reforma trabalhista e o mercado de trabalho, ambas herdadas do governo de Michel Temer. Na seção quatro, detalhamos algumas das medidas em curso do novo governo.

The present research features anthroposociality, economy, and technology as three dimensions of knowledge management in the firm. The purpose of the research is to substantiate the advancement of anthroposociality for knowledge management as the non-material dimension in the transition to the socialized knowledge economy in comparison with material dimensions. The research method is the analysis of conceptual models of knowledge management through the prism of the methodological triad "anthroposociality – economy – technology". The author proposes a new dimension of knowledge management in the firm, i.e. anthroposociality, and formulates the theoretical foundations of practical measures in technology and economy, which determine the correlation of the chosen dimensions of knowledge management in industrial economy, capitalized knowledge economy, and socialized knowledge economy. The author determines the priorities of these dimensions according to the objectives of knowledge management in a firm operating in one of the economies mentioned. The results can be used for the development of the personnel and social policies. Conclusions: 1. The theoretical basis "anthroposociality is the measure of practicality of the economy" is substantiated by the priority of the benefits of the social economy to the employees in the form of their health, as well as moral and material wellbeing in the society. 2. For knowledge management, the following aspects have been established: the predominance of technology in the industrial economy, since its goal is the production application of knowledge of employees to extract profit; the primacy of economy in the capitalized knowledge economy because of the goal of making a profit by developing the intellect of the worker; the priority of anthroposociality in the socialized knowledge economy due to the goal of the all-round development of the individual-worker by making a profit from the use of technology. 3. Development of the personnel and social policies of the firm, taking into account the proposed dimension of knowledge management, will increase the importance of anthroposociality in the management of a modern firm, which will become a condition for the goal-in-itself development of workers in the knowledge economy.

The development of the social economy contributes to the well-being of the population, which is one of the main tasks of any state. The existence of certain social problems in Ukraine requires an analysis of foreign practices of implementing social goals to increase living standards. In the context of European integration aspirations, such a state for Ukraine is the neighboring Poland. To address these issues, the positive experience of social economy development and employment in Poland is analyzed and the possibilities of its application in Ukraine are outlined. The practice of social economy in Poland is considered, Ukraine and Poland are compared on particular social indicators (number of social security institutions, unemployment rate, employment rate, average monthly wage, self-employment level), the directions of social development in Poland are outlined with emphasis on their possible application in Ukraine. Taxonomic methods for determining the social development of Poland and changes in the labor market of both countries are considered. The main determinants of the Polish model of social economy are highlighted: stable economic development, which contributes to raising living standards; low unemployment; developed social infrastructure; increase in average wages; developed private social security sector; labor market stability and its ability to adapt to new challenges. A number of problematic issues in the development of the social economy in Ukraine are highlighted, in particular, the low level of wages compared to neighboring European countries; high unemployment; low level of self-employment; high level of shadow economy. Based on the analysis of the positive experience of Poland, a number of possible directions of social economy development in Ukraine are outlined.

Wisconsin Works

The spread of workfare to Israel and elsewhere in the world is typically attributed to the power of a globalized neoliberal orthodoxy. This chapter demonstrates how, on the contrary, the introduction of new employment and social policies in Israel bearing the Wisconsin moniker was an attempt to resolve intra-state conflict regarding the goals and instruments of state intervention in the labor market. These conflicts were resolved through by importing new policy ideas. Via translation, it was possible to assemble a change coalition and advance domestic institutional change. Nevertheless, due to the persistence of intra-state conflicts over the goals and instruments of social and labor policies, workfare was implemented alongside existing institutions to create a new institutional layer. Layering was instrumental in overcoming opposition to the program, but also made it vulnerable to politicization. This politicization brought about the interruption of the program five years after its inception.
