"Sur fond de multiplication de grèves menées par des syndicats catégoriels (conducteurs de locomotives, pilotes), un projet de loi du gouvernement allemand vise à mettre fin à des situations de concurrence entre syndicats dans la négociation collective. Un principe majoritaire est introduit qui confère le monopole de négociation au syndicat comptant le plus grand nombre d'adhérents dans les établissements. Le projet, qui aura pour effet de marginaliser les syndicats minoritaires, soulève un débat quant à l'atteinte à des libertés constitutionnelles (droit d'association, droit de grève). Il témoigne d'un interventionnisme accru de l'État dans le jeu des relations professionnelles, auparavant domaine réservé des acteurs sociaux."

"We present new evidence on whether political parties still matter in economic policy-making. We investigate four policy instruments (changes in product market regulation (PMR), subsidies, business taxation, social spending) in 21 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries between 1980 and 2015. We systematically consider how cabinet duration and the challenges of globalization, the European Union and economic problems (debt, unemployment, economic growth) condition partisan differences. Partisan differences only really make themselves felt after about one term in office. Moreover, with the exception of PMR, partisan differences tend to become more pronounced as globalization increases while European integration does not condition partisan effects. The conditioning effect of domestic economic problems on partisan differences depends on a policy instrument's salience. In highly salient issue areas (social expenditure, corporate taxation), we only find partisan differences when problems are low; in contrast, economic problems emphasize partisan differences in non-salient issue areas (PMR, subsidies)."

"La fin du régime fasciste de Franco en 1977, après quarante années de dictature, a marqué le coup d'envoi d'une transition politique qui s'est concrétisée par une constitution démocratique en 1978. L'Espagne a connu une forte décentralisation politique ces vingt dernières années, qui a vu la création de 17 régions disposant d'une impor-tante autonomie législative et politique, notamment en matière de santé, ce qui signifie que les politiques publiques peu-vent varier selon les régions. ..."

"An exploratory study of seventy-four women uranium workers employed in the western United States (miners, millers, truck haulers, and office workers) was conducted. These uranium industry workers were employed primarily during the 1970s and 1980s. It was found that approximately 60 percent perceived overall moderate to high levels of dust during their employment, and about 50 percent reported the likelihood of having past, present, or future health problems related to their uranium work. Two of the most-often-identified health problems were respiratory symptoms or illnesses and cancer. Issues regarding public policy, research, and worker rights are discussed. "
