Politics of power: Engaging with the structure-agency debate from a class-based perspective
(Sage, 2017-02-01)
This article provides a historical materialist critique and response to Bob Jessop’s Strategic-Relational-Approach (SRA) to the structure-agency debate. The critique is developed in four steps and four class-based solutions ...
International Political Economy of Labour and collective bargaining in the automotive industry
(Sage, 2018-03-23)
This article shows how International Political Economy of Labour (IPEL) approaches can be fruitful in the study of working class and institutional transformation in contemporary capitalism. It draws from an analysis of ...
When Corporatism Fails: Trade Union Strategies and Grassroots Resistance to the Spanish Economic Crisis
(Wiley, 2017-10-06)
This article analyses the fragmented working class struggles that emerged in Spain after the eruption of the economic crisis in 2008–2010. Through the use of qualitative methods, such as in-depth interviews and activist ...
To sign or not to sign? Union strategies towards provincial metal sector agreements in the Catalan and Basque automotive industries
(Sage, 2018-07-13)
I compare collective bargaining in the Basque and Catalan automotive industries to show that since the early 2000s, two contrasting bargaining frameworks have emerged. The two largest Spanish unions have followed ‘top-down’ ...
Unions as ‘managers of precariousness’: The entrenchment of micro-corporatism in the Spanish automotive industry and its drawbacks
(Emerald, 2018-07-06)
This paper enriches and updates the literature on micro-corporatism, collective bargaining in transnational corporations, and the erosion of trade union power resources which dates back to the 1990s and early 2000s. Whilst ...
International Political Economy of Labour and Gramsci’s Methodology of the Subaltern
(Sage, 2018-12-20)
Gramscian IPE scholarship has predominantly focused on studying capital’s power to subsume labour under different hegemonic projects. Various autonomist Marxists have recently sought to ‘voice labour’ by proposing a ...
Irida-β-ketoimines derived from Hydrazines to Afford Metallapyrazoles or N-N Bond Cleavage: A Missing Metallacycle Disclosed by a Theoretical and Experimental Study
(ACS, 2016)
Unprecedented metallapyrazoles [IrH2{Ph2P(o-C6H4)CNNHC(o-C6H4)PPh2}] (3) and [IrHCl{Ph2P(o-C6H4)CNNHC(o-C6H4)PPh2}] (4) were obtained by the reaction of the irida-β-ketoimine [IrHCl{(PPh2(o-C6H4CO))(PPh2(o-C6H4CNNH2))H}] ...
Tailoring Mechanical Properties of Rigid Polyurethane Foams by Sorbitol and Corn Derived Biopolyol Mixtures
(ACS, 2015-10-28)
Sorbitol arises to be a strong candidate for renewably sourced polyol synthesis. Moreover, processes for extracting sorbitol directly from cellulosic materials are effective, and materials such as agroforestry residues ...
Large size FFTs over time-varying channels
(IET, 2014-06-01)
[EN] In orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals, the usage of large size fast Fourier transforms (FFTs) reduces the guard interval percentage, and therefore increases the data throughput reducing the data ...
Regioselectivity Change in the Organocatalytic Enantioselective (3+2) Cycloaddition with Nitrones Through Cooperative Hydrogen-Bonding Catalysis/Iminium Activation.
(Wiley-VCH, 2017-01-12)
The reaction of nitrones with enals through iminium
activation can be modulated by using cooperative
hydrogen-bonding catalysis to induce the participation of
a nitrone ylide (C-N-C) instead of the classical C-N-O
dipole. ...
