Structuring Politics: Historical Institutionalism in Comparative Analysis

The Limits to Capital

nosis, and, like a skilled investigator, he traces down the problem’s deep roots. But in the end, the readers are left to grapple with contemporary implications on their own. ‘‘The word credit in the retail business is a sign to a dangerous road that has led many a merchant to disaster, but a road which must be traveled’’ (p. 77). These were the 1904 words of a certain J. E. R. Chilton, the founder of the Chilton Company, which was to become a leader in the computerization of consumer reporting and eventually was purchased by Experian. At the turn of the past century, it was the merchants who had no choice but to sell on credit, despite the costs they paid—either in unpaid or protracted bills or in efforts to minimize them. Today, it is the consumers who have no choice but to swap access for being surveilled, while the data are used to calibrate their future access through ‘‘classification situations’’ (Fourcade and Healy 2013). This engaging and richly documented book will no doubt be of great interest to scholars and students of consumer credit, credit surveillance, and financial identity in the United States.

The working and living conditions of seafarers on cargo ships in the period 2011-2016

The causes of maritime accidents in the period 2002-2016

Recent studies of migrant transnationalism have emphasised migrants’ points of origin and area of destination within their highly diverse and mobile circumstances, but focus primarily on permanent migrants The rise in the number of temporary migrants makes it important to re-examine how this concept can be applied to temporary migrants and their mobility and sense of belongingness In this paper, the transnationalism of one group of temporary migrants, seafarers, is examined The complexity of the seafarers’ encounters raises a question as to the extent to which transnationalism can be used to explore their modes of integration ashore and aboard Drawing on semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation aboard and ashore, this paper focuses on the transnational relations and practices of Filipino seafarers towards the ship and their community Accordingly, the analytical task centres on how seafarers integrate; their degree of embeddedness On the ship, empirical issues regarding hierarchy, intercultural relationships and occupational seafaring culture contribute to an enhanced understanding of their form of inclusion On land, social and economic status and community affiliations provide insights on their capacity and motives for remaining integrated ashore This study shows that the myriad ways that these seafarers sustain relationships allow them to achieve a sense of belongingness, but that this was uneven owing to the nature of the ship as a place of work and temporary home
