Romania's economy is integrated into the global economy, a fact that brings about dependencies, but also enables development. In this episode, we’re speaking with Cornel Ban, a political economist who, using this disciplinary lens, can offer an analysis of international financial issues that are otherwise highly diverse and complex to delineate within local boundaries. Examining Baia Mare and the circumstances in which some people work and live prompts a necessary discussion about the shortcomings of capitalism, institutionalized racism, and the imperative need for effective public policies.
The theme of adaptation and the formulation of strategies to address political and climate changes are also explored in this episode. Romania's prospects remain open, but it is imperative to act swiftly and contribute to altering the current situation, not only in the labor market but also in taxation and social policies, according to our guest.
Cornel Ban is an associate professor of International Political economy at Copenhagen Business School. Prior to this he was a Reader at City University of London, assistant professor at Boston University and research fellow at Brown University in the United States. He wrote two books, two dozen articles, and book chapters on the politics of economic expertise, policy shifts in international financial institutions, and the politics of capitalist diversity in Brazil, Spain, Hungary and Romania.
This episode is part of a series based on the research project "Precarious work and peripheral housing. The socio-economic practices of the Roma in Romania in the context of industrial relations and unequal territorial development", in short PRECWORK, with the financial support of Norwegian grants and UEFISCDI from Romania.

Activism feminist: #multumescpentruflori, dar vrem și politici sociale
Ce inseamnă 8 martie și cum celebrăm emanciparea femeilor în România?
Într-un context în care cazurile de violență domestică au crescut, în care accesul la servicii de sănătate și la locuințe decente devine tot mai dificil, în care femeile sunt simultan muncitoare esențiale, în prima linie, dar sunt și afectate de creșterea șomajului, 8 martie rămâne o zi de luptă pentru drepturile noastre. Pe lângă cele menționate, munca domestică le rămâne în cea mai mare măsură femeilor, o muncă ce nu este remunerată. Discutând, aflăm cu ce probleme se confruntă femeile, dar și persoanele queer și non-binare, într-o societate care a rămas, încă, patriarhală.
Sub umbrela campaniei #mulțumescpentruflori, activistele feministe ne atrag atenția că florile nu sunt un răspuns la lipsa politicilor sociale, la lipsa respectului pentru munca feminizată, munca domestică și munca sexuală, la faptul că violența și agresiunile domestice continuă, la inaccesibilitatea serviciilor de sănătate, la creșterea constantă a prețurilor chiriilor.
Povestim cu activiste implicate despre problemele aferente cu care se confruntă femeile în România și despre revendicările lor pe domeniile diverse pe care și-au concentrat atenția anul acesta: muncă, violență, sănătate și locuire.
Invitatele noastre sunt:
Andreea Iorga - Curpăn (Anda), parte din România Țara Muncii Ieftine (ROTMI), Colectiva Urzica
Carmen Radu, parte din Asociația Front, Feminism România
Georgiana (Aldessa) Lican, parte din E-Romnja
Oana Ungureanu, parte din Mad Pride România
Nóra Ugron, parte din zine.fem, colectiva a.casă, a.szem
