“…Those who participate in a social movement must see themselves as capable through group efforts of righting the wrongs they perceive (Gamson, 1992(Gamson, , 1995. In the United States, the examples of both Southern Blacks prior to the 1950s and Native Americans up until the 1970s support this basic proposition (Gurr, 1993). Similarly, the Black experience in South Africa during the era of apartheid has been described as one where psychological dependency proved damaging to the people's cause (Esman, 1994).…”

The toll in death, suffering, and displacement caused by conflicts engaging groups defined by ethnicity, nationality, religion, or other social identities has reached staggering proportions over the past decade. With expertise in research and intervention, psychologists have critical contributions to make to more fully understanding and more effectively confronting this distressing global phenomenon. The authors focus on the parallels between the core beliefs of individuals and the collective worldviews of groups that may operate to trigger or constrain violent struggles. On the basis of a review of relevant literatures, 5 belief domains--superiority, injustice, vulnerability, distrust, and helplessness--are identified as particularly important for further study.

“…However, most of the concerned scholars reject this over simplified explanation. Gurr (1993) emphasized on several factors as grievances, political calculation, group history, extent of collective disadvantages, the salience of group identity, repressive control by dominant groups, opportunities for political actions etc., as the causes of conflictual action. Levine (1996) on the other hand, uphold some factors as the causes of internal conflict (more specifically secessionist violence) which are demographic conditions, political conditions, economic conditions, institutional changes and external intervention.…”

From the early beginning of the authoritarian government of Ershad, there was widespread opposition to his autocratic authority, which persisted for eight years before the 1990 rebellion brought an end to it. Like the majority of movements in Bangladesh, this one was started by students who put in heroic effort to see it through to a victorious finish. This was an urban-centric movement. With the aid of an established academic model of internal conflict, this study aims to investigate the revolt and support its underlying causes - particularly its socioeconomic and cultural causes - as well as its political causes. This study has been conducted by qualitative method, in which the information has been collected from secondary sources. As the analytical framework, this study uses Michael E. Brown’s internal conflict causal model. According to this analysis, the major structural causes that led to the uprising were communal violence, a weakened educational system, corruption, and paramilitary activity on the part of the government. In terms of political factors, this study points to the authority’s use of torture or other oppressive measures against people’s fundamental rights, the state’s non-secular policy, the scope of political opportunity, public support and sympathy for the students, the authority’s political error, and the coordinated actions of political elites as being important causes of the uprising. Economic and social factors contributing to the rebellion include the rising cost of living, the debt crisis, regular failure to meet growth targets, and a highly divisive and bourgeois-centric economic system. Once more, this study reveals that the government’s actions against national culture through various policies, the extreme application of military culture, people’s negative memories of the Pakistani era’s authoritarian regime, and the positive perception of the student community in society are the cultural and perceptual factors that led to the uprising. The findings of the study will give relevant academicians, decision-makers, and the general public essential knowledge about Bangladeshi history as well as the fundamental causes of internal strife. They might contrast these conclusions with some important recent occurrences in Bangladesh. They may use it to address the fundamental issues in various facets of our society. As a result, the research may help them identify likely and long-lasting remedies for the advancement of our civilization.

“…ello se debe a que, como recuerda Figueroa, «las firmas compiten en el mercado internacional no sólo con precios, sino con calidad, oportunidad en la entrega, servicios, garantía, publicidad. Todo esto lleva a las firmas a desarrollar estrategias para tener productos diferenciados y a competir también por tecnologías» 9 .…”

“…en otras palabras, el tipo de comercio y su incremento pueden ser importantes y deben ser tomados en cuenta. Haber imaginado que un molde único bastaba para formular recomendaciones sobre estos temas no guardaba ninguna relación con las expectativas teóricas y la confirmación empírica de que en realidad el beneficio neto del libre comercio varía enormemente según el país 9 .…”

“…La teoría clásica -estática-sugiere que los beneficios de la reasignación de recursos entre diferentes industrias serían la norma. no implica que todos los países necesariamente se beneficien, ni que el libre comercio sea óptimo 9 Desde un punto de vista realista es difícil para las grandes instituciones como las instituciones Financieras internacionales (iFi) dar cuenta de las diferencias entre países cuando formulan sus recetas genéricas de política. Por ejemplo, en lo que se refiere a la «condicionalidad», sería políticamente torpe que sean más severas con un país que con otro.…”

Adolfo Figueroa ha contribuido a la formación de economistas de calidad y al conocimiento de las economías subdesarrolladas a través de sus obras y de la docencia universitaria. Sus análisis e interpretaciones de problemas como la desigualdad de ingresos, la pobreza, la informalidad, etcétera, siempre están precedidos por un marco teórico-conceptual que él elabora con rigor. En este esfuerzo de construcción, Figueroa revela un conocimiento exhaustivo y crítico de las teorías económicas convencionales: Clásica, neoclasicismo y Keynesiana. Son conocidas sus apreciaciones e interpretaciones sobre los costos asociados a la crisis distributiva de las últimas décadas; la pauperización de la población en términos de ingresos reales y de acceso a los bienes públicos; la violencia política; los bajos coeficientes de inversiones privada y sus efectos negativos en la calidad de vida de la población, de los niños y de los jóvenes; la erosión de la calidad potencial de la mano de obra por la desnutrición y la crisis de la educación; en fin, la inestabilidad económica y política que hace difícil convivir en democracia en países como el nuestro. Los autores de este libro de homenaje abordan todos estos temas, directa o indirectamente. La primera parte del libro recoge críticas de la teoría estándar y las explicaciones de la desigualdad y la exclusión. La segunda parte contiene artículos que proporcionan la evidencia empírica acerca de la persistencia de la desigualdad y la exclusión. Y, la tercera parte está constituida por artículos donde se destaca la importancia de las políticas para el desarrollo social y de la democracia. Adolfo Figueroa es doctor en Economía y profesor emérito de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú.
