, drawing on the results of an empirical study. Attention is focused on the complexity of the decision making process surrounding contract farming. Spatial patterns of production are examined and a broadly-based theoretical framework is suggested

Analyzing forty-one retail collective bargaining contracts from four Mexican cities, the A. findsconsiderable variation in wages and fringe benefits, benefits in excess of the legal minimum in 27 to 68 percent of cases (depending on the benefit
), and cases of sustained improvement in contractual benefits. Detailed consideration of the patterns suggests that these contracts are not uniformly protection contracts, indicating that there is strong as well as weak unionism in Mexican retail, including

Tidal wetting and drying on shore platforms : an experimental study of surface expansion and contraction

and a preferred jurisdiction for certain types of UK and global investment managers. At the heart of the relationship between asset owners and asset managers is the power of these parties when choosing the type of contract and the jurisdiction which

Responsible citizens and accountable service providers? Renegotiating the contract between citizen and state
This article examines the extent to which collaboration and multidirectional accountability can be developed between the state and citizens, with a focus on a case study of Community Contracts in England. The results suggest that citi-zens are given
a voice and there are new pathways for effective service delivery and accountability; conditionality applies to citizens and service providers. They also demonstrate that the legal status of the contract was only loosely defined. Challenges remain
concerning how contract-based approaches can be fully realised in practice.
