*Stream 10: Pension policies – challenges, reforms, outcomes*

Convenors: Susan Kuivalainen and Kati Kuitto, Finnish Centre for Pensions

Pension systems in Europe and beyond have been challenged by demographic ageing, changing labour markets and fiscal austerity. Major reforms in most countries’ pension systems have been conducted in the face of these
challenges. Some of the reforms have been systemic, changing the balance between the pillars in the pension provision architecture. Others have been parametric, adjusting existing schemes to increasing old age dependency ratio and gearing them towards postponing retirement. Pension policies have been driven by the premise of financial sustainability and fiscal constraints have become even more coercive in the aftermath of the
financial crisis of 2008. Simultaneously, concerns about the adequacy of old-age income protection have been raised. Both sustainability and adequacy have also been emphasized in the policy recommendations of the EU
and the OECD.

Call for papers

INTERPLAY BETWEEN LANGUAGE, PARALINGUISTICS AND THE ADMINISTRATION OF
INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE

19 June 2017

University of Greenwich, London

*A one-day International Conference being hosted by the School of Law & the Centre for Criminology at Greenwich in June 2017 with kind support from the Peter Harris Trust.*

The Conference aims to promote interdisciplinary discussions and investigations into linguistic as well as paralinguistic causes and corresponding legal effects of defective interpretations and translations in international war crimes trials. The quality of these trials and the accuracy of historical records they produce are compromised by inconsistent standards and practices relating to language services adopted by international courts and tribunals, including the International Criminal Court (ICC). The lack of an official framework surrounding interpreting and translation services within international criminal justice models remains surprising, particularly within bodies established by the UN such as the ICTY and ICTR. Pre-trial and trial interpretation and translation errors and omissions, which derive from differences between first/original languages and official court languages into which they are translated, can result in inaccurate interpretations and unintended meanings. This in turn can alter original meanings and lead to misleading interpretations of probative evidence, affecting the right to a fair trial. The responsibility to fully explore reasons and conditions that may lead to procedurally and ethically unjust trial outcomes rests on the judiciary. The responsibility to provide effective remedies in individual cases rests on them too.

CfP: WIDER Development Conference - Public economics for development

United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research (UNU-WIDER) will organize a two-day conference on public economics for development, in Maputo, Mozambique on 5-6 July 2017.

Despite successes in poverty reduction and improvements in health and educational outcomes in many low-income countries, development challenges remain extensive. They cannot be addressed effectively without a well-functioning public sector. This requires both building up tax systems that generate required revenues in an equitable manner, and organizing a well-functioning system of public service delivery. There is as well a pressing need to enhance the functioning of the public sector in developing countries — also policy action needs to be
better served by analysis and data.

*"Performing Race"Irene Fattacciu and Claudio Fogu, eds.**Zapruder World: An International Journal for the History of Social Conflict
*
* 4 (2017)ISSN: 2385-1171*

The aim of *Zapruder World* is to create a wide arena in which to exchange critical knowledge based on both individual research and collective elaboration. The journal focuses on social conflict, paying particular
attention to conflicts as movements rather than focusing on their resolutions, so as to better connect the history of social conflicts with current transnational cycles of protest. *Zapruder World* is animated by an
aspiration towards "global history" but intentionally leaves its actual definition, contents, and methods open for discussion.
