Chile's Private Pension System At 35: Impact And Lessons, Mb Hyde, S Borzutzky Mar 2016

Chile's Private Pension System At 35: Impact And Lessons, Mb Hyde, S Borzutzky

School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences

This paper provides an analysis of Chile's 35 year experience with defined contribution, fully funded pensions and argues that this pension approach should not be emulated by countries seeking to reduce the state role in the provision of pensions. The paper shows that 35 years of privatized pensions have led to a massive accumulation and concentration of capital and profits in the hands of the pension fund administrators and insufficient and unequal pensions for the retirees. This legacy of the Pinochet dictatorship has experienced marginal reforms after the transition to democracy. However, those reforms have not altered the system's structure …

Indigenous Ecuadorian Mobility Strategies In The Clandestine Migration Journey, Victoria Stone-Cadena Mar 2016

Indigenous Ecuadorian Mobility Strategies In The Clandestine Migration Journey, Victoria Stone-Cadena

Publications and Research

Based on testimonials of migration journeys of indigenous Cañaris from southern highland Ecuador, this paper examines strategies of mobility and social networking employed by migrants and facilitators in the human smuggling market. Following a series of economic crises in the late 1990s, Ecuadorian transnational migration increased significantly, with a 55.5 percent increase to the United States between 2000 and 2008, and staggering 12,150 percent increase to Spain between 1998 and 2005. This article focuses on the growth of a regional migration industry in the southern high-land region, and pays special attention to the roles of indigenous Cañari migrants and migration …

China's Strategic Partnerships In Latin America: Case Studies Of China's Oil Diplomacy In Argentina, Brazil, Mexico And Venezuela, 1991 To 2015, Yanran Xu

Open Access Dissertations

On the other hand, more skeptical studies depict China as a rising imperial power that represents a competitive threat to Latin America. My dissertation focuses on China’s SPs with four Latin American countries Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela in the oil sector. It stresses how Chinese strategic partnerships with …
