This article examines how older, Western residents make sense of racial and economic hierarchies in the context of relations with Balinese employees and a modern service infrastructure of cafes and restaurants in Ubud, Bali. I examine how these residents engage with contradictory moral regimes that reflect a desire to downplay white privilege, yet place the self at the forefront of narratives of life and lifestyle in Bali. The spatial management of such concerns, I argue, is complicated by a desire to impose fixity on socio-cultural process, in ways that bring symbolic pollution beliefs to the fore in this lifestyle destination.

In an economic climate characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity, organizational productivity plays a more central role in determining success. There are many factors that impinge upon employees in their daily execution of duties that affect output. The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors that influence organizational productivity, specifically, from the viewpoint of its employees. The study draws upon a quantitative paradigm using a non-probability sampling technique. Data were collected from a total of 161 employees using a structured questionnaire across two different office sites in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Statistical correlation tests were administered, and the findings indicate an association between organizational policies and employee benefit; organizational policies and performance appraisal; and performance appraisal and employee benefit. This research also confirms the findings of others, more significantly, in terms of reinforcing the perceptions of leadership and work-life balance as influential factors

AbstractStudies of Brazilian Nikkeis (Japanese emigrants and their descendants) living in Japan tend to conceptualize 'family' and 'nation' as two distinct entities. Such distinctions are filtered through mutually exclusive discourses and understandings of national and ethnic identity. In this article, however, I view national attachments and migrant experiences in Japan through the lens of ideology, embodied experience and kinship relations. Treating national ideology as lived process sheds fresh light on the dynamics of state—society relations in transnational social spaces. I suggest that the ability of Brazilian state actors to impose social, moral and economic regulation on its citizens in Japan is compromised by the extent to which such discourses are ontologically grounded in the social relations of migrant family life. It is through these kin ties, I argue, that people set the tone and rules of play for state interests to encroach or otherwise on their everyday lives in these transnational social spaces.

Over the last decade in European Community politics the principle of subsidiarity has increased in significance as a political value in the debate between federalists, regionalists and sovereign nationalists. This significance culminated in a statement of policy, built around the principle, written into the Treaty of European Union. The statement was agreed on both sides of the political spectrum, not as a symbol of a new ideological convergence but on the basis of the belief, held by all, that the principle would serve their own aims. Clearly, this is not possible, and as a result, a useful political concept which promises so much in fact delivers little, remaining impotent in practical terms and of little consequence, as things presently stand, to future Community developments.

Linda Krieger's paper in this volume relies on the concepts of "equal" and "special" rights, and I focus my attention upon the bivalent view of equality which justifies the creation of special rights. Krieger argues, I point out, that equality of effect is a fundamentally more just consideration than equality of treatment, and special rights allow disad-vantaged groups to achieve this equality of effect.
