Since the 1980s, globalization and neoliberalism have brought about a comprehensive restructuring of everyone's lives. People are being 'disciplined' by neoliberal economic agendas, 'transformed' by communication and information technology changes, global commodity chains and networks, and in the Global South in particular, destroyed livelihoods, debilitating impoverishment, disease pandemics, among other disastrous disruptions, are also globalization's legacy. This collection of geographical treatments of such a complex set of processes unearths the contradictions in the impacts of globalization on peoples' lives. Globalizations Contradictions firstly introduces globalization in all its intricacy and contrariness, followed on by substantive coverage of globalization's dimensions. Other areas that are covered in depth are: globalization's macro-economic faces globalization's unruly spaces globalization's geo-political faces ecological globalization globalization's cultural challenges globalization from below fair globalization. Globalizations Contradictions is a critical examination of the continuing role of international and supra-national institutions and their involvement in the political economic management and determination of global restructuring. Deliberately, this collection raises questions, even as it offers geographical insights and thoughtful assessments of globalization's multifaceted 'faces and spaces.'

This paper addresses the lack of automated contradiction detection systems for the Spanish language. The ES-Contradiction dataset was created and contains examples with two pieces of information classified as Compatible, Contradiction, or Unrelated. To the author's knowledge, a Spanish-language contradiction dataset is non-existent and therefore, the ES-Contradiction dataset fills an important research gap, given Spanish being one of the most widely spoken languages. Moreover, the dataset built includes a fine-grained annotation of the different types of contradictions in the dataset. A baseline system was designed to validate the effectiveness of the dataset. The BETO transformer model was used to build this baseline system, which obtained a good result to detect the three class labels Compatible, Contradiction, or Unrelated. ; This research work has been partially funded by Generalitat Valenciana through project "SIIA: Tecnologias del lenguaje humano para una sociedad inclusiva, igualitaria, y accesible" with grant reference PROMETEU/2018/089, by the Spanish Government through project RTI2018-094653-B-C22: "Modelang: Modeling the behavior of digital entities by Human Language Technologies", as well as being partially supported by a grant from the Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER) and the LIVING-LANG project (RTI2018-094653-B-C21) from the Spanish Government.

The development of welfare states should be explained not only as a factor of deindustrialization, social power resources, or economic competitiveness, but also as the consequence of Cold War confrontation, the post-9 / 11 new world order, and more broadly the long-term geopolitical competition between modern societies. Contradictions inherent to capitalism are the driving forces of recent trends in international political economy. Drawing upon Harvey's perspective, the aim of this article is to bind the contradictions of capital to the contradictions of the welfare state. While this does not entail suggesting these contradictions are of the same nature, it can be argued that the latter derives from the former. This perspective helps to integrate a global dimension into welfare state conceptualisation since the contradictions of capital are not only the product of state interrelations, but also reflect the interaction of market and society at the domestic and supra-national level. The purpose of this article is to apply Harvey's framework on the contradictions of capital to the period in which they have most affected welfare state reform, and to establish a chronology of the contradictions of the welfare state. This will demonstrate how the welfare state has evolved in response to the paradoxes of capital. However, instead of resolving the tensions inherent in capitalism, the welfare state started developing contradictions of its own. A deeper understanding of the contradictions of welfare states is vital in assessing the dynamics of modern social policies, as it enables the policy-makers to better understand why these arrangements do not often meet public expectations.

Democratization is the order of the day in the Third World, but aside from certain Latin American countries where it seems to have succeeded, it is everywhere running into difficulties. These challenges need to be analyzed in relation to the history of each country, taking into account specific political, cultural, and ideological circumstances. There is assuredly no universal model of democratic transition that one can recommend to all Third World countries, which is why we must evaluate obstacles to democratization on a case-by-case basis.

TRASH Much to the disadvantage of painters the language required in the reading of a painting is intrinsic to seeing. Not to say everyone looks or reads the same, but that each is their own authority. The elitism postured on esoteric art is to ignore this fact and forget that truly great art is emancipatory to all humanity. These works are not simply a cathartic expression, or a self aggrandizing romanticism. They are a conscious production of values and ideas in the often unconscious language of painting. These are neither experiments into the avant-garde nor the pompous posturing of concept over aesthetic experience. Art in its weakest form reflects only itself, while at its strongest reflects a philosophy. The self absorbed existential angst must be turned on its head - the question is no longer "what gives life meaning?" but "what makes life meaningless?" This lack of meaning is a perpetual crack in the fabric of our reality, fracturing all our multifaceted perspectives, and defining spaces by the very absence in between them. The void manifests in many forms -physically politically, socially etc, but a gap is only rendered perceivable by its positive frame- as a zero stands only for the very void it encircles. A work about a void is undeniably about its frame and the forces that, in their orbit, define a gap. This orbiting around a void is also known as a drive. Drive is not a means to an end but an end in itself. The absence of meaning does not come with some great end, but is there all along. Thus the traumatic void of meaning is everywhere; it is the inescapable mortal fate, the brutality of nature, the savagery of systems of power. It is violence, death, and decay. It is monstrous, merciless, and mindless. It is the unfathomable gap, the impenetrable gaze. It is the space in between pages, pictures, and pixels, between outside and inside, between the stills of a film. It is the black hole of the iris, the aperture, the open wound. It is the ouroboros of capitalism eating its own tail and destroying its ...

Emancipation After Hegel argues that Hegel's philosophy as a whole has not been properly received; the essential place of contradiction in his thought has been obscured partly by Hegel's own counterintuitive positions on totality, reason, and the state, and partly by knee-jerk reactions to those positions. Hegel should be reclaimed as a truly revolutionary thinker because the movement of contradiction in his thought, and the account of the ontological character of contradiction he offers, open onto a more robust political theory of contradiction than even that of Marx (who of course famously critiqued Hegel's conservatism), or of numerous 20th century philosophers (who habitually denounce Hegel's system). Under Todd McGowan's lens, Hegel theorizes being itself as contradiction, identifies contradiction as the motor of history, and arrives at his counter-intuitions by way of his commitment to contradiction. This ontology and its attendant epistemology offer significant political insights and imperatives; McGowan's is not an exercise in scholasticism, correcting misinterpretations of sacred 19th century texts, so much as a prolegomena for emancipatory theory in the present, projecting political formations that more adequately accommodate the being of contradiction. If the political calamities of the 20th century, from imperial war to Nazism to fascistic late capitalism, share logics of resistance to contradiction, McGowan wields Hegel's dialectic as incitement to different logics. In our 21st century, such other logics take on dire urgency, since all hitherto existing contradictions cower in the humid shadow of capitalogenic ecocide.

Libertarianism is an ideology which reveals its contradictions when it is implemented. The libertarian denial of the right to what Rawls calls fair quality of opportunity, especially to the right to education, would negatively impact any libertarian society in adapting to its environment. Further, a libertarian society would lead to a caste society and the domination of the political system by an elite primarily interested in protecting its own privileges, not the freedom of the masses.

The conditions that govern academic research vary greatly from country to country and research in the Republic of Ireland was and remains markedly different from that of its larger European neighbours and the United States. Despite the quality of its education system and the excellent reputation of its universities, until recently Ireland had relatively low levels of academic research. Pinnacles of excellence could be found in certain disciplines, but state funding was low and issues relating to industrial collaborations, international partnerships, commercialisation and the exploitation of Intellectual Property (IP) rarely arose. Even today the Irish Government's spending on academic research, though only slightly less than the European average based on GNP, is dwarfed by the Research and Development (R & D) budgets of individual multinational companies. Nonetheless, rapid economic growth has led to a heightened awareness of the need for strategically planned research. The 'Lisbon Objective' proposes to make Europe "the most dynamic knowledge-driven economy in the world by 2010". Consequently research is heavily influenced by this policy and so a range of unfamiliar problems are posed for managers of Irish academic research. Key to successful operational planning and growth is the need to reconcile a number of contradictions at the heart of R & D in Third Level Institutes[1]. [1] 'Third Level Institute' is a term used in Ireland to describe any higher education institute

This thesis argues that Chinese foreign policy has two distinct and contradictory tracks of behaviour. One, a "peaceful development track", reflects China's desire to promote a peaceful international environment and project a view of China as a benign, constructive, and non-hegemonic rising power. China demonstrates this peaceful development track in its cooperative and constructive engagement with the international community, within established, global political and trade frameworks, and in resolving disputes peacefully. The other track, the "assertive self-interest track", is characterised by China's aggressive pursuit of raw self-interest, using its asymmetry of power to pressure others to accede to its will, and eschewing options of compromise, conciliation, or cooperation with other stakeholders. China's "assertive self-interest track" engenders suspicion about China's true intentions in light of its political, military, and economic rise. While these two tracks of Chinese foreign policy behaviour are contradictory they are also complementary as they have the same driver: to achieve the Chinese Government's primary goal of regime survival. For the Chinese Government, as for many governments around the world, regime survival is dependent upon economic growth which requires resource security to fuel that growth. The peaceful development track assists this goal by projecting an image of China as a peacefully rising power to prevent other countries taking action that would constrain China's rise. Through the peaceful development track of foreign policy, China also aims to promote an environment of peace and stability necessary for China's continued economic development. Concurrently, the assertive self-interest track assists China in achieving the resource security needed to fuel its economic development and thus to achieve its primary goal of regime survival. This thesis highlights the contradictory nature of Chinese foreign policy using three case studies, all with China's pursuit of resource security as the ...
