Summary: This article contributes to a better understanding of inequality patterns within Latin America by examining the drivers of private sector labor shares in Chile and Mexico. The study finds that high private indebtedness and small government policies have contributed to the decline in Chile's labor share, while natural resource exports have had limited positive effects. On the other hand, Mexico, as a more capital-intensive economy, has experienced substitution effects that have undermined its labor share, but high government spending has counterbalanced the negative effects of globalization.

Summary: This article examines the distributional implications of European institutional integration on trade union strength and income inequality. The author argues that as European integration progresses, trade unions in EU countries have reduced bargaining power, leading to a decline in their effectiveness in reducing inequality, particularly at the top. The study finds that the impact of trade unions on inequality varies significantly with the level of European institutional integration.

Summary: This paper uses comparative historical analysis to explore how the state of Wisconsin shifted from progressive environmentalism to neoliberal policy, focusing on the expansion of concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). The study examines the role of the demise of the Office of the Public Intervenor (OPI) and the decline of environmental social movements in enabling the growth of CAFOs without environmental regulation. The research highlights the importance of understanding the consequences of regulatory failure in the adoption of neoliberal environmental policies.

Summary: This study combines land rent theory and the political economy of homelessness to deepen our understanding of the political-economic drivers of contemporary homelessness. It examines how the actors within urban growth machines work collaboratively to control the spatiality of the homeless in order to protect their investments in urban space. The study suggests that in the neoliberal era, it is specifically the mobilization of property towards class monopoly rent that produces and spatially manages homeless populations.

Summary: The study found that almost all participants valued interdisciplinary care, with varying structures and processes supporting it across different regions. A positive team climate was associated with job satisfaction, quality care, and effective communication among professionals, families, and patients. The results encourage further investigation and prioritization of interdisciplinary care in these settings.

Summary: In developing countries, trade is associated with higher returns to high-skilled labor and increasing inequality, which contradicts canonical models of trade in these regions. This has implications for the political economy of trade in these countries. The research argues that developing countries have a comparative advantage in low-skill products, but these are produced by relatively high-skilled workers compared to their peers. Trade and global production benefit relatively skilled workers, especially those exposed to exports and foreign direct investment in manufacturing. The findings from cross-national survey data on policy preferences and aggregate data on trade and inequality have important implications for the political economy of trade and global production in developing countries.

Summary: These two recent special issues on 'blind spots' in (international) political economy challenge us to pay more attention to topics that are overlooked by (I)PE. However, their conceptualization and approach to identifying 'blind spots' contain tensions, ambiguities, and exclusions, and they fail to consider the realities faced by human laborers in the field.

Summary: Global distribution of metal stocks is uneven, with the top 20% of the world's population holding 60-75% of total metal stock. Despite decreasing international inequality in metal stocks, rapid growth in developing countries, mainly in Asia, will lead to a 2-3-fold increase in global metal demand by mid-21st century, putting heavy pressure on the environment. Alternative patterns involving contraction and convergence are needed to stabilize per capita metal stock growth at a level below that of developed countries.

Summary: This study investigates the acquisition and mobility experiences of food-insecure individuals across urbanicity levels during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings reveal that food insecurity mainly affects adults in urban areas, who also face more barriers to food acquisition. Moreover, food-insecure individuals in rural areas primarily acquire food from supercenters, while the use of locally sourced foods is lower in rural areas compared to urban areas.

Summary: Protracted political conflicts have negative impacts on people's lives and their ability to be self-sufficient. This study examines the influence of urban planning and political misgovernance on food sovereignty in conflict cities, using the experience of urban growers in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. The findings highlight the importance of indigenous greens in providing affordable and nutritious food for households, but the growers' work is at risk due to undemocratic governance, weak local planning, and climate change.

By conducting in-depth interviews with WIC-eligible individuals, WIC staff, tribal administrators, and store owners, this study identifies several factors related to WIC participation, covering three important themes. The study demonstrates the value of a systems approach to explore interconnected barriers and facilitators that can inform future strategies and mitigate declines in WIC participation.

Summary: Scholars have highlighted inequities in the food system, but regional food planning remains underexplored. A comparative evaluation of 47 regional plans in the US from 2008 to 2018 found a lack of attention to food affordability and social equity. Opportunities for planners include improving healthy food affordability, supporting social equity, and incorporating food equity into plans.

Summary: This paper examines the contribution of pilot implementation studies to the wider spread and sustainability of innovation in healthcare systems. Through an empirical examination of an innovation intermediary organization in the English NHS, the study finds that their work in mobilizing pilot-based evidence involves configuring to context, transitioning evidence, and managing the transition. The findings contribute to theory by showing how intermediary roles can support the effective transitioning of pilot-based evidence, leading to more widespread adoption and sustainability of innovation.
