Title: After the party's over: The Irish employment model and the paradoxes of non-learning. Author: WICKHAM, JAMES JOHN RUFUS Editor: Steffen Lehndorff Abstract: The chapter describes the 'bubble labour market' of the final years of the Celtic Tiger. It argues that the road to the Irish crisis was prepared by four core features of the Irish model: the veto-power of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), the financialisation of everyday life, the importance of the banking sector and, last but not least, social partnership. It outlines the changes that have occurred in the employment system during the crisis. It concludes with the paradox that the country where the relative impact of the crisis has been greatest appears to have learnt least from the experience. Description: PUBLISHED

Title: Plan, Market and Money: a Study of Circulation in Peru Author: BRADBY, BARBARA M Abstract: This thesis reanalyses a paradigm colonial encounter, that of the' Spanish conquest of Inca Peru, in the light of the theory that circulation and money are themselves class processes, which cannot be reduced to market' exchange A reading of the. 16th century Spanish Visitas shows that the Andean settlement pattern of 'vertical colonies' was part of a mode of exploitation of labour based on control of the-circulation of certain key goods - coca, salt, chilli, -maize-alcohol. These goods, produced in the colonies, were means of payment that could be exchanged for labour in the main centres of population. Cloth, one of the main goods produced by such labour, was itself crucial in controlling the circulation of population and planning of tribute under the Incas. hence Three case-studies of the colonial period then examine the articulation between this Andean system, the development of the market, and attempts by the Spanish state to control circulation. It is argued that the 16th century encomienda was a mechanism for marketing the products of a planned tribute system not dissimilar to that of the Incas, and that the rapid development of the market in goods whose circulation had formerly been controlled - coca, alcohol and cloth - presented a major contradiction for the local Indian rulers. Some unpublished documentation from the archive at Huancavelica is used to analyse the conflict over the supply of forced labourers to the state's mercury mine there and, more generally, the inter- action between the forces of plan and market. Finally, the legalisation of the 'Distributions of Goods' in the 18th century is seen as an attempt at state planning of the market in payment goods. The breakdown of the alliance between Spanish and Indian ruling classes in the 18th century reb- ellions is then reinterpreted, and some conclusions drawn on the different material ways in which circulation can be used to control labour.

Title: Sexy (No, No, No): the cool and hot in popular female song Author: BRADBY, BARBARA M Editor: Beate Neumeier Abstract: In her article on women‟s advice books, Arlie Hochschild identifies a “cooling” of the modern female self, as intimate life is commercialised and taken over by the metaphors and reality of market forces (“Commercial Spirit”). For her, this represents an “abduction of feminism”, just as the protestant ethic escaped the bounds of religious Calvinism and engendered capitalism. Description: PUBLISHED

Title: From Leaving Certificate to Leaving School: A Longitudinal Study of Sixth Year Students Author: BANKS, JOANNE; SMYTH, EMER Abstract: Current debates about senior cycle education in Ireland have raised a number of crucial questions: What effect does the Leaving Certificate exam have on young people’s learning experiences? What helps students to do well in the Leaving Certificate exam? How do young people make decisions about their future life after school? What kinds of skills and competencies do young people develop in the course of their second-level education? This book provides an important evidence base for answering these and other questions by examining the experiences of young people in sixth year as they prepare for the Leaving Certificate exam and life after school. It is the latest book in a series of publications stemming from the Post-Primary Longitudinal Study, which has fol- lowed a cohort of over 900 students in twelve case-study schools, selected to capture key dimensions of school policy and practice. This is the first such longitudinal study in the Irish context and it yields rich in- sights into the factors shaping young people’s experiences as they move through second-level education, thus providing important evidence for future policy development. This particular book focuses on providing an overview of the experiences of sixth year students and is published with a companion volume (Smyth and Calvert, 2011) which looks at the tran- sition from junior cycle (lower secondary) to senior cycle (upper secon- dary) education. This executive summary outlines the main findings re- garding sixth year students and the implications for policy development. Description: PUBLISHED

Title: Choices and Challenges: Moving from Junior Cycle to Senior Cycle Education Author: SMYTH, EMER Abstract: This study examines the experiences of young people as they make the transition from junior cycle (lower secondary) to senior cycle (upper secondary) education. It is part of a series of reports which explore stu- dent experiences as they move through the second-level schooling sys- tem. In a companion volume (Smyth, Banks and Calvert, 2011), we ex- plore young people’s experiences of preparing for the Leaving Certifi- cate exams and for life after school, and highlight the skills and compe- tencies students feel they have gained from their education. Taken to- gether, the two reports provide crucial insights for policy development concerning senior cycle education. In systems where lower and upper secondary education are provided in different schools, transition experiences mirror the move from primary to secondary schooling, with students having new teachers, taking new subjects and adjusting to a new peer group (Wigfield et al., 1991; Dar- mody, 2008b). However, much less is known about what the transition is like for young people who remain within the same school setting, as they do in Ireland. Drawing on survey and interview data from Transition Year and fifth year students in twelve case-study schools, this study sets out to address this gap in knowledge by exploring the choices students make over the transition as well as their learning experiences and rela- tions with their teachers and peers. This executive summary outlines the main findings of the study and the implications for policy development. Description: PUBLISHED

Title: A Social Portrait of People with Disabilities in Ireland Author: WATSON, DOROTHY Abstract: This report – A Social Portrait of People with Disabilities in Ireland – examines the circumstances of people with disabilities in Ireland. It is one of a series of Social Portraits on vulnerable groups in Ireland commissioned by the Social Inclusion Division of the Department of Social Protection, from the ESRI. The report draws on a number of sources, primarily the first and second reports from the National Disability Survey (Central Statistics Office, 2008 and 2010). For the first time in Ireland, the National Disability Survey facilitates estimation of the prevalence of disability in the population and also provides the basis for a detailed analysis of the living circumstances and needs of people with disabilities. The concept of disability that underlies this social profile is the ‘biopsychosocial model’ of disability advocated by the World Health Organisation. In this model, disability is understood in terms of how the individual interacts with the physical and social environment. In other words, in order to understand what people are able to do, we need to take account of the resources available to them and the barriers placed before them in their environment as well as their own physical, mental and emotional resources. Therefore, in this report – as well as examining the number of people with disability and the impact their disability has on them – we consider their experiences in the educational system and labour market, their social participation and social support and the physical environment and transport.

Title: Parents, Children and Sense of Control Author: WATSON, DOROTHY Abstract: To the extent that people believe that their own actions can bring about a valued outcome, they are said to have a “sense of control”. This is a key factor in understanding why people act as they do. When individuals feel that their actions can make a difference to important aspects of their lives, they are motivated to take action. If, on the other hand, they feel that their actions do not make a difference, there is little incentive to act. To what extent has the sense of control of adult children been affected by that of their parents? This question is addressed in a recent article. Description: PUBLISHED

Title: The Changing Workplace Author: WATSON, DOROTHY; O'CONNELL, PHILIP; RUSSELL, HELEN Abstract: How are Irish workplaces changing? Recent reports give a detailed picture, based on two nationally representative surveys – one of employers and another of employees – carried out in 2009. These surveys replicate many aspects of the first national workplace surveys, carried out in 2003 in the midst of an economic boom. The new surveys took place in dramatically changed economic circumstances. In the private sector, the economic crisis threatened the very survival of many firms. In the public sector, budget cuts and recruitment constraints created severe challenges in delivering public services. Description: PUBLISHED
