2005. "What is the best way to run the modern business corporation? What is the appropriate balance between shareholders, managers, and employees? These questions are being hotly debated as scandals and restructurings rattle companies around the world. The standard assumption is that globalization is producing convergence in the way that corporations are managed and governed. Yet this book shows that companies are responding differently to the pressures unleashed by globalization. In the United States, shareholders have emerged as the dominant force while employment has become more transitory and market-oriented. In Japan, shareholders are gaining influence yet employees continue to play a role in strategy and corporate governance. Jacoby, who was awarded an SSRC Abe Fellowship in 1999, traces the persistence of corporate diversity to national differences in economic history and social norms, and, paradoxically, to globalization itself."

At national level and at the workplace, trade unions should set the tone for action. Employers should be brought, through bargaining and laws, to recruit, integrate and offer decent work to disabled persons in accessible and adequate workplaces, as well as to retain those who become disabled while in employment. Governments should be asked to adopt and implement measures, in line with ILO standards, to fi ght discrimination and ensure equal treatment and equal opportunities for disabled workers. This publication reports on a number of initiatives taken in that direction.

The National Policy is presented in two parts. Part One provides the rationale underlying policy formulation, containing its scope, underlying socio-economic considerations, barriers that exclude people who have disability from the socio-economic mainstream, and the resources available for policy implementation. This is the situation that has been taken into account in deciding policy. Part Two first lists the guiding principles that provide the policy framework. It relates them to the Constitution of Sri Lanka and to the Charter of the United Nations and other United Nations Instruments. It then describes 26 policy areas which have been identified through the process of consultation. For each policy area, policy statements are made and strategies for their achievement are listed.

This working paper takes a critical look at lifelong learning policies as they have evolved in recent years, particularly in Britain and elsewhere in Europe. The paper assesses outcomes and policies of lifelong learning in terms of their effects on: (i) economic efficiency – is the economic value created by the policy greater than the cost? (ii) equity – does it reduce the “learning divide” between population groups? and (iii) personal and social development – i.e. learning for its own sake, not simply as a way to raise output or lower inequality. This is EMP/SKILLS Working Paper No. 15.
