“…The two original models of ‘coordinated market economies’ (CMEs; as proposed for the Germany and Japan) and ‘liberal market economies’ (LMEs; as proposed for US and Great Britain) have recently been complemented by a third model of ‘dependent market economies’ (DMEs) (for economies in East Central Europe, see Nölke and Vliegenthart, 2009) 5 and models of state-led market economies (Boyer, 2005; Schmidt, 2009). We thus contribute to a CC/BRICs research programme that is currently burgeoning, not only in the OECD world, but also within emerging countries such as Brazil, India and South Africa (Becker, 2013a; Boschi and Santana, 2012; Bresser-Pereira, 2012; Condé and Delgado, 2009; Ebenau, 2012; Kennedy, 2011; Mazumdar, 2010; Musacchio and Lazzarini, 2012; Padayachee, 2013; Schmalz and Ebenau, 2012; Schneider, 2013; Witt and Redding, 2014; see also the special issue of DMS — Der Moderne Staat on state capitalism in large emerging countries (Ten Brink and Nölke, 2013)). In the context of this debate, our approach to the CC field integrates the VoC framework but goes beyond its LME–CME dichotomy (Amable, 2003; Coates, 2005; Jackson and Deeg, 2006).…”

The rise of the large emerging economies of Brazil, India and China can easily be counted among the most important contemporary structural changes in the global political economy. This article attempts to determine whether these countries have a common institutional model for governing their economies and addresses the implications of these commonalities for global economic institutions. The approach consists of three major steps: first, a general ideal type for encompassing capitalism in these large emerging economies is constructed, and dubbed 'state-permeated market economy'; second, we compare these countries empirically, with regard to the features highlighted by the ideal type and in contrast to other varieties of capitalism; and, finally, we extrapolate some long-term implications for the global economic order, based on the assumption that foreign economic policies will be informed by domestic institutional structures.

“…Wages for women home-based workers are extremely low (All India Democratic Women’s Association (AIDWA), 2009; Lerche et al, 2017). Studies on women workers in the garment sector have pointed out, women’s paid work, particularly as home-based workers, gets subsumed or framed within the norms of domestic labor (AIDWA, 2009; Mazumdar, 2007; Mies, 2012 [1982]). As Mazumdar (2007) and Mezzadri and Srivastava (2015) also note in their studies, women who worked in garment factories were assigned low-skill tasks such as thread cutting, checking, or packing of finished products as tasks that were better remunerated remained reserved for men.…”

Redefining norms, exploring new avenues: Negotiations of women informal workers in Delhi

The changing nature of production activities in developing countries has brought into focus the contribution of large numbers of women who get pulled into the labor force either by choice or by compulsion. Women in the latter category often find themselves engaged in informal employment, in work that is inconsistent and low-paid, carried out under suboptimal working conditions. Their ability to improve their conditions of work and life is constrained not just by capitalist structures and the organization of production relations, but also by social structures of norms and cultural practices. The analysis in this article, based on ethnographic research among women engaged in the garment and construction industries in Delhi provides insights into the strategies that some women workers, in the two sectors that also largely comprised women belonging two different religious communities, adopt to contest precarious working conditions and patriarchal norms, and transition into more autonomous positions. This article asks that given the constraints particular to the garment and construction sectors, why and how do some women resist against structures of gender oppression? How do the differences or similarities in the socio-cultural norms of the two communities constrain and at times, also enable women’s choices and actions? This article brings forth the factors that lead women to resist against structures of gender oppression, challenge inequalities inherent in the organization of work, and the new meanings that they may assign to their own negotiations and interpretations of norms.
