Face à la crise économique le droit du travail grec a été marqué par certaines modifications. Les modifications concernant le droit du travail individuel sont particulièrement importantes et elles sont, toutes, orientées vers la déréglementation. De cette façon on peut parler d'une déconstruction des relations collectives de travail. Quand on essaie de comprendre les réformes liées à la crise, on constate qu'elles sont le fruit de pressions provenant de l'étranger et plus particulièrement des créanciers. Ce qui est pourtant choquant est que si l'influence d'une instance extra-communautaire d'ordre économique (FMI) s'avère déterminante, celle d'autres instances de caractère social, comme le BIT ou des organes du Conseil d'Europe, apparaîtra comme n'ayant aucune valeur. On est ainsi en droit de se demander sur l'orientation sociale de l'Union Européenne. --- This In the face of the economic crisis, Greek labour law has been marked by several changes. The amendments made to individual labour law are particularly important. They are moving towards deregulation. Concerning collective labour law these amendments appear to alter its nature. One can speak of a deconstruction of the collective labour relations. When we try to understand the reforms related to the crisis, we see that they are the result of pressure from abroad and more particularly from the part of creditors. What is shocking, however, is that whereas the influence of a non-Community body of economic order (IMF) proves decisive, that of other social institutions, such as the ILO or organs of the Council of Europe, appears as having no value. One is thus entitled to ask about the social orientation of the European Union.

La política de apertura de Chile, que en los noventa ha complementado política e institucionalmente lo que antes hiciera el Gobierno Militar en materia económica, ha rentado grandes dividendos. Respecto de América Latina, sin embargo, ha amplificado una brecha que ya era ancha desde fines del siglo XIX, respecto de muchos países de la región. En este contexto, el gran desafío de la política regional de Chile es articular su apertura con el mundo desarrollado, al tiempo que su reinserción con el resto de América Latina. Se plantea como hipótesis que el país está en medio de una doble asimetría que no sólo se ha transformado en grandes oportunidades, sino que en desafíos no resueltos. Esta doble asimetría consiste en la relación simultánea que tiene el país, tanto con actores muchomás poderosos -que era nuestro enfoque clásico-, como con aquellos -especialmente los países vecinos- cuyo poder relativo es claramente menor al chileno.

Comunicação em Conferência ; Corporate governance aspects do not function in an isolated form but they function like diverse bundles which can affect banks' performance. Therefore, there is a tendency in corporate governance research to use statistical methodologies that can handle those diverse bundles of corporate governance aspects like fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fs/QCA). Moreover, I identify a lot of changes in the type of shareholders that own the Portuguese banks in particular in terms of institutional investors and I want to know if this aspect has an influence in terms of banks' performance. In resume I want to apply a fs/QCA methodology to analyse the effects of diverse bundles of corporate governance in terms of banks' performance. Therefore, the current research can have fruitful results for main actors of the Portuguese banking system like the Portuguese government, the Bank of Portugal, the European Central Bank, among others. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

The global scale and impact of current and increasing human population size is incompatible with the survival of biological diversity and the 6th mass extinction cannot be stopped. For the vast majority of species we have neither the knowledge of when they will go extinct nor the capacity to find out. Conventional conservation measures can only amount to token damage limitation. Advances in molecular biology allow low cost options for storing the genetic diversity of numerous species and maximising future options for restoring species.
