This reassessment of Kelly's analysis of the relationship of activist leadership to collective action within the overall jigsaw of mobilisation theory draws on social movement literature, studies by industrial relations scholars utilising aspects of Kelly's approach – including this author's own work – and related research on union leadership within collective mobilisation. In the process, it identifies and celebrates how Kelly's work, whilst contributing a distinct and substantive actor-related approach, recognised that leadership is one ingredient amongst other factors, including important structural opportunities and constraints. It considers three potential ambiguities/tensions within Kelly's conceptualisation of leadership related to the social construction of workers' interests, spontaneity of workers' action and the 'leader/follower' interplay. The review also identifies two important limitations, related to the union member/bureaucracy dynamic and the role of left-wing political leadership, and concludes by signalling different forms of leadership relationships on which further refinement and development would be fruitful.

ICTs have successfully changed the social, economic and political spaces globally. Through globalisation, ICTs have reduced the world to a global clan and assumed a cyclopean force driving human civilisation by the scruff. The impact of ICTs has virtually diffused through all sectors, forcing technological changes and creating a culture of dependence on technology. In Nigeria, the presence of ICTs has become ubiquitous and its knowledge has deepened. However, the use of ICTs for human development purposes has remained grossly limited. ICTs have only been co-opted for the creation of web portals, email addresses, B2B, B2C interactions and for inconsequential undertakings. The use of ICTs for educational and manpower development, knowledge transmission, health education, research and development, medical treatment and others for human development purposes is yet embryonic. This may not be unconnected with the byzantine socio-economic crises like spotty power supply, moribund infrastructure, witless political leadership, lack of priority in investments by the state, endemic official corruption and a host of challenges facing the Nigerian state. To assume a pole position in the present knowledge economy, Nigeria needs to find that nexus between ICTs and its human development needs. This study is cast against the backcloth of the Diffusion of Innovations and Human Development Theories which support the diffusion of ICT-enabled human development programmes in Nigeria to realise true development. This paper argues that the political leadership in Nigeria will benefit more at a fragment of the cost when it adopts ICTs in catalysing its human development programmes. In addition, resolving some of the embedded social and ethical problems facing the country will free resources for the government to invest massively in ICTs that could help it leap-frog its human development challenges and improve the lives of its citizens.

This article discusses how inclusive development is translated into policy and regional development planning. Perspectives used are that of the regional government apparatus in-charge of development planning. As a strategic actor in decision making, those in charge of development planning hold an important role in determining what counts as inclusive development, who the targets are, and how such inclusivity could be realized through development programs. The research was conducted in Bandung Regency, one of the regions that experience rapid economic growth, as well as one that is facing the challenges of poverty and the decline of environmental support capacity. The method that was used in this research is the quantitative method to discover the perceptions of government apparatus, which afterwards are confirmed through textual analysis of regional development planning documents. From this initial research, development planning process is suspected to not have optimal public participation, as well as to not have involved marginalized groups, so that policies and programs are less able to accommodate several strategic regional issues. Therefore, there is a need to create a comprehensive effort towards achieving an inclusive development agenda as the primary goal in Bandung Regency development.

This note reviews and synthesizes research on the effects of religion on various economic and demographic behaviors of individuals and families in the United States, including the choice of marital partner, union formation and dissolution, fertility, female time allocation, education, wages, and wealth. Using a theoretical framework based on Gary Becker's contributions to the economics of the family, it demonstrates that religious affiliation affects economic and demographic behavior because of its impact on the costs and benefits of many interrelated decisions that people make over the life cycle. In addition, for behaviors that pertain to married‐couple households, religious affiliation matters because it is a complementary trait within the context of marriage. Religiosity, another dimension of religion, also affects economic and demographic outcomes, partly because it accentuates differences by religious affiliation, partly because religious involvement has generally beneficial effects on health and well‐being.

The current progress economy of Ukraine takes place under pressure from external and internal destabilizing factors, which causes an instant initiation of qualitative changes in development of the corporate sector as a component that can provide social and economic growth and meet the needs of civil society. Corporate structures determine the level and pace of economic development of the state, improve the internal structure of social and economic support, saturate the system of movement of goods, and create a financial platform for the system functioning, etc. Thus, the need to search for new progressive instruments for improving the efficiency of functioning of domestic corporate structures. It is necessary to investigate the state and tendencies of the corporate sector development and find out its role in Ukraine's economy. The purpose of the article is the comprehensive inspection of the status and trends of development of the national corporate sector and defining its strategic directions. Within the article the key features of corporations are outlined, without understanding the entity which impossible to form effective managerial decisions and the qualitative characteristics of their functioning. The structure of corporate sector taking into account organizational forms of management, its share in national economy and division by type of economic activity, the number of employees at enterprises and profitability / lossare analyzed. The study showed that the structure of the economy corporate sector comprises joint stock companies (public and private under the law of Ukraine "On joint stock companies") and integrated corporate structures.Consequently, theyare based on corporate capital, operate the principles of corporatism and often formed on the organizational and legal form of joint stock companies or use a similar system of management of corporate capital. In recent years, there have been a tendency to increase the number of corporate structures while reducing the number of unprofitable enterprises, which may indicate a slow "recovery" of the country's economy. It is proved that the results of the financial and economic activities of corporations depend on the effectiveness of forms and methods of economic activity management, favourable conditions of the environment and balanced state economic policy. Peculiarities of corporate system formation in modern conditions are defined. The main factors preventing effective activity of corporate type enterprises are the following: Monopolization of the country's economy, especially in the energy sector, lack of transparency of corporations' activities, managers'ignoring innovative management methods and imperfection the legislative base.
