“…We certainly recognize capitalism's systemic properties and have analyzed them elsewhere (e.g., Rothstein and Schulze-Cleven 2020, 307–309). In the book, we decided to focus on capitalism's contemporary neoliberal variant, given that it has underwritten “capitalism's increased dominance over democracy” (Schulze-Cleven and Vachon 2021, 8).…”

What can labor studies contribute to ongoing debates about the future of work? In a recent edited volume, Revaluing Work(ers): Toward a Democratic and Sustainable Future (Schulze-Cleven and Vachon 2021), we put forward a set of propositions that have sparked lively discussions at academic conferences over the past two years. This essay introduces a symposium on "Labor Studies and the Future of Work" that extends these earlier conversations and makes them accessible to the labor studies community. The article clarifies the main arguments and the broader agenda of the book before briefly addressing selected reactions to our claims. Finally, it summarizes the contributions to the symposium by a diverse group of scholars, reviewing what they have to say on the nature and purpose of labor studies as well as its promise for debates about the future of work and workers.

“…In China, PR contributes to shaping positive public attitudes towards dialects, which are rooted in the unique political environment. Since 2010, the Chinese government has been committed to promoting an inclusive, harmonious policy support that endorse dialects as part of Chinese culture [37][38][39]. Therefore, we propose the first hypothesis.…”

Background Dialect Attitude is conceptualized as an individual’s cognitive and affective evaluation of a dialect and its speakers. In the contemporary China, dialect is suffering from significant stigmatization, resulting in social inequalities, which hinder sustainable development. This study aims to reveal the Chinese public attitudes towards dialects, and clarify the potential determinants related to heterogeneous attitudes at a macro level. Methods We combine the crawler technology and sentiment analysis to conduct a provincial cross-sectional study. We collect 1,650,480 microblogs about public attitudes towards dialects from Microblog across 31 specific Chinese provinces. Spatial regression models are utilized to clarify the influence of macro-level determinants on differences in public attitudes. Results The present study reveals that: (1) The Chinese public generally holds positive attitudes towards dialects, with significant variation between provinces. (2) Political Resource (β = 0.076, SD = 0.036, P<0.05), Economic Development (β = 0.047, SD = 0.022, P<0.05), and Cultural Resource (β = 0.054, SD = 0.021, P<0.05) promote public positive attitudes towards dialects. (3) Political Resource and Culture Resource influence more significant in the relatively advantaged regions, and Economic Development poses a higher influence in the relatively disadvantaged regions. Conclusions Basing on the combination of crawler technology and sentiment analysis, the present study develops the most comprehensive database which takes 1,650,480 dialects-related microblogs from 31 Chinese provinces, and describes the following scenario: (1) Overall, the Chinese public shares a relatively positive attitude towards dialects with significant variations among different provinces, (2) Political Resource, Economic Development and Culture Resource pose positive effects on Chinese public attitudes towards dialects and (3) Political Resource and Culture Resource influence more significant in the relatively disadvantaged regions, and Economic Development poses a higher influence in the relatively advantaged regions.

“…The reduced reach of national systems for collective wage bargaining might well be the best example of this broader trend, which has allowed the centrifugal forces of capitalism to take their toll on political stability (Schulze-Cleven 2018). Scholars are now debating whether states can address the increasing imbalance of national political-economic constellations (Rothstein and Schulze-Cleven 2020). Balancing capitalism’s tendency toward expansion and crises through substantive efforts is important for states themselves, since resurging capitalism threatens their own sustainability (Jacobs and King 2009).…”

Governments around the world have turned to higher education to sustain economic development and social welfare. This article uses the concept of the regulatory welfare state (RWS) to examine how state authorities in the United States and Germany have sought to spur structural changes in the education sector. I argue that policy-makers in both countries have pursued the goal of organizing competition among universities by combining fiscal and regulatory policies that strengthen universities’ self-reliance, rivalry, and decentralized decision-making. The analysis shows that understanding cross-national patterns of institutional transformation requires putting countries’ evolving regimes of state-university relations into historical perspective, and that states’ shifting governance strategies are important drivers of higher education’s contemporary reimagination. It also clarifies how regulatory approaches to welfare provision have fostered the re-composition of public infrastructures, raising pressing questions about the quality and scope of the welfare that regulatory approaches promote.
