The Exclusionary Politics of Digital Financial Inclusion Mobile Money Gendered Walls

The Exclusionary Politics of Digital Financial Inclusion Mobile Money Gendered Walls

Focusing on Kenya’s path-breaking mobile money project M-Pesa this book examines and critiques the narratives and institutions of digital financial inclusion as a development strategy for gender equality arguing for a politics of redistribution to guide future digital financial inclusion projects. One of the most-discussed digital financial inclusion projects M-Pesa facilitates the transfer of money and access to formal financial services via the mobile phone infrastructure and has grown at a phenomenal rate since its launch in 2007 to reach about 80 per cent of the Kenyan population. Through a socio-legal enquiry drawing on feminist political economy law and development scholarship and postcolonial feminist debate this book unravels the narratives and institutional arrangements that frame M-Pesa’s success while interrogating the relationship between digital financial inclusion and gender equality in development discourse. Natile argues that M-Pesa is premised on and regulated according to a logic of opportunity rather than a politics of redistribution favouring the expansion of the mobile money market in preference to contributing to substantive gender equality via a redistribution of the revenue and funding deriving from its development. This book will be of particular interest to scholars and students in Global Political Economy Socio-Legal Studies Gender Studies Law & Development Finance and International Relations. | The Exclusionary Politics of Digital Financial Inclusion Mobile Money Gendered Walls

Re-organising Service Work Call Centres in Germany and Britain

Re-organising Service Work Call Centres in Germany and Britain

This title was first published in 2002. Call centres are a type of service work that stand at the interface between corporations and consumers. They exemplify more general tendencies present within service work. They also have a particular public image - being associated in the public mind with low skilled and regimented work. This volume presents contributions from British and German management academics and industrial sociologists based on primary research on call centres in both countries. The contributions cover the genesis and development of call centres as a new form of organization or indeed a new industry; the rationalization and control strategies of organizations that establish call centres; and the nature of service work and service interactions. The findings of this volume challenge the common public image of call centres and finds that call centre employment is in fact very diverse. So for example skilled advising and consulting services are often performed over the phone. Along with the sometimes skilled nature of call centre work work organization and working conditions vary as well. The text also seeks to contrast the British and German experience of call centre work and employment. In Germany clerical work has traditionally been embedded in the specific traditions of co-operative industrial relations that define the German model. Call centres present a strategic challenge to this model and the expansion of call centres has been at the forefront of changes aimed at making employment more flexible in Germany. This work offers a choice of country cases which permit a comparison of service employment within both a liberal capitalist and a socially embedded economy. | Re-organising Service Work Call Centres in Germany and Britain
