How do the United States and France differ in laws and attitudes concerning discrimination at work? Franco-American scholar Marie Mercat-Bruns interviews prominent legal scholars to demonstrate how these two post-industrial democracies have adopted divergent strategies. Whereas employers in the United States and France rarely discriminate openly, deep systemic discrimination exists in both countries, each with a unique history of dealing with difference. Powerful and incisive, the book examines hot-button issues such as racial and religious bias, sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and equality for LGBT individuals, highlighting comparisons that will further discussions on social equality and fundamental human rights across borders.

This article examines the real convergence hypothesis for the period 1950-2008 in some Central and Eastern European countries using time series techniques and allowing for structural breaks. We find convergence within the countries when applying unit root tests on per capita GNP differences, but not when per capita GNP differences are defined with respect to Germany, the point of reference for the EU. However, when we allow for the existence of structural breaks in the convergence process, we find evidence of some countries (Albania, Bulgaria, former Czechoslovakia) catching-up with the German economy since the nineties. This suggests that the changes taking place since then in those countries have had a positive impact on convergence. ; Este trabajo contrasta la hipótesis de convergencia en PIB per capita durante el período 1950-2008 para una muestra de países de Europa Central y del Este, utilizando técnicas de series temporales. La aplicación de los contrastes de raíces unitarias indica que ha habido convergencia real entre los países de la región, aunque no cuando definimos la convergencia respecto a Alemania, país de referencia de la Unión Europea. Sin embargo, cuando permitimos la existencia de cambios estructurales, se observa un proceso de acercamiento de algunos países (Albania, Bulgaria y la antigua Checoslovaquia) respecto a Alemania desde los años 90, sugiriendo que los cambios ocurridos en estos países desde esa década han afectado positivamente a la convergencia.

In the last few decades, ethno-regionalist parties have become leading players in many regional political systems across Europe. This increased representation has opened up new strategic opportunities for these parties, and in particular it has offered them the chance to participate in regional government. Based on a newly compiled data set of 282 governmental formations in Italian and Spanish regions during the period 1945–2011, this study develops and tests several hypotheses regarding the governmental participation of ethno-regionalist parties at regional level. These have been partly drawn from similar studies of 'outsider' party families, such as the Green parties or the radical right. A specific focus is then placed on multilevel dynamics, based on the idea that there is a relationship between party strategies at regional and state levels, and in particular on the perception that parties are willing to adopt compatible alliance strategies at the two levels (vertical congruence), at least under certain conditions. Both types of hypothesis (single-level and multilevel) are shown to be plausible when empirically tested on the cases of Italy and Spain. Special attention is given to the conditions under which vertical congruence is used by ethno-regionalist parties as an effective way of minimizing the risks associated with inclusion in governmental coalitions at regional level.

The country operations business plan (COBP), 2020–2022 of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for Uzbekistan is consistent with the recent government initiatives and the country partnership strategy (CPS), 2019–2023 for Uzbekistan. The key objective of the CPS is to support the country's move toward a vibrant and inclusive market economy, including the transformation of the state's role. The government's ultimate objectives of improving the quality of people's lives and enabling the creation of quality jobs can only be achieved by developing a robust private sector and reducing the state's pervasive footprint in the economy. ADB will assist in this transition by providing policy advice, investments, and capacity development in three strategic areas: (i) supporting private sector development, (ii) reducing economic and social disparities, and (iii) promoting regional cooperation and integration. The CPS is aligned with the operational priorities of ADB's Strategy 2030: (i) strengthening governance and institutional capacity, (ii) addressing remaining poverty and reducing inequalities, (iii) promoting rural development and food security, and (iv) fostering regional cooperation and integration. The CPS is also in line with the national development strategy, 2017–2021 and the subsequent reform agenda.

My thanks to Forsyth, Pal, and Pardesi, for taking the time to read Making Global Society (MGS), and write thoughtful responses to it. It is always interesting to be shown frankly how others filter what you have done through their own concerns and expertise. The responses cover a range of positions. Forsyth seems to like a few bits, but not the whole. Pardesi likes the whole, but not some aspects. Pal is torn between liking and disliking the aggregative, big picture, approach.
