International labour migration plays a major role in the overall flow of international economy. Contemporary international labour migration is propelled by globalization and neo-liberal economic policies that promote deregulation of labour markets, including the flow of cheap, low-skilled labour. Today, migration is a global process that affects all countries and continents. The current treatment of migration issues is relevant because the social changes of the last decade have fundamentally modified the political and social situation, and millions of people have become forced migrants

This article proposes a conceptual framework that draws from the political economy,international relations and sociology disciplines. The political economic context situates the PISAwithin the broader political rationality of neoliberalism. The international relations lens shedslight on the role that American influence played in the PISA's construction and more generally, inthe governance of international organizations. Sociological theories drawn from the sociology ofscience and technology and from Michel Foucault's conceptualization of the power bloc formationprovide an understanding of how the PISA 'works' and how it is used to exercise power.

This paper proposes a multi-industry trade model with integrated capital and goods markets. Labor market imperfections in line with Mortensen and Pissarides (1994) give rise to unemployment and a channel for the government to influence markets through institutional changes. Labor market interventions feedback into the product market through changes in a country's competitiveness. Moreover, the distinction between high- and low-skill workers facilitates the analysis of skill-biased institutional changes that have stronger impact on certain skill groups. The comparative static exercise in this paper shows that high-skilled benefit from low-skill biased labor market reforms through higher wages. Lower labor costs reduce unemployment of the low-skilled and increases the reforming country's competitiveness. One-sided labor market interventions have feedback effects through adjustments at the extensive margin, which affect all workers at home and abroad irrespective of their level of skill. Governments in the non-reforming countries may react to this loss in competitiveness by initiating cooperative labor market reforms instead. ; Dieses Papier untersucht mögliche Auswirkungen von Arbeitsmarktreformen in einem Mehrsektorenmodell mit imperfekten Arbeitsmärkten auf Grund von Suchfriktionen. Im Rahmen des Modells beeinflussen Arbeitsmarktinstitutionen die internationale Wettbewerbsfähigkeit einer Ökonomie. Eine Verringerung des Arbeitslosengeldes beispielsweise kann die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit eines Landes über eine Reduktion der Produktionskosten erhöhen. Die Unterscheidung zwischen hochund niedrigqualifizierten Arbeitnehmern erlaubt darüberhinaus die Analyse von einseitigen, bestimmte Bildungsgruppen betreffende, Arbeitsmarktreformen. Es wird gezeigt, dass hochqualifizierte Arbeitnehmer durch Arbeitsmarktreformen, die ins Besondere niedrigqualifizierte Arbeitnehmer betreffen, von höheren Lohnzahlungen profitieren. Durch die Verschiebung des komparativen Vorteils beeinflussen einseitige Arbeitsmarktreformen den Arbeitsmarkt sowohl im Inland als auch im Ausland.

In weniger als einer Generation entwickelte sich Brasilien vom Waffenimporteur zu einem der zehn führenden Waffenexporteure der Welt. Dieses Wachstum der brasilianischen Rüstungsindustrie beruhte auf günstigen internationalen ökonomischen und sicherheitspolitischen Bedingungen in den sechziger und siebziger Jahren (weltweite Diffusion der entsprechenden Technologien, Rückgang des amerikanischen Marktanteils, steigende Nachfrage infolge regionaler Konflikte, seitens ölreicher Staaten und der südostasiatischen Schwellenländer). In der Zukunft könnte das internationale Umfeld das Wachstum aber eher hemmen. (SWP-Whr)
