The document discusses competition authorities in the UK, US, and internationally. The UK Competition Commission introduced measures to increase competition in payment protection insurance, which is expected to lower costs for consumers. In the US, authorities sued Blue Cross Blue Shield for allegedly raising premiums through non-competitive agreements with hospitals. Internationally, the International Association of Insurance Supervisors works to develop risk supervision standards and determine which insurers may face higher capital standards as significantly large financial institutions.

OECD Parliamentary Days 2016 - Financing Democracy

OECD - Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development

Session by Rolf Alter, Director, OECD Public Governance and Territorial Development Money plays a role both as a channel for citizens to support their candidates or political parties, and as a means for candidates and political parties to reach out to their constituencies. Access to resources for political parties and candidates also shapes political competition. Parliamentarians have an important stake in advancing the global debate on the role of money in politics. There are still many loopholes in political party funding regulations that are open to exploitation by powerful special interests. Loans, membership fees, and third party funding are all used to circumvent spending limits and other regulations. Many countries struggle to define and regulate third-party campaigning leaving them ill-equipped to prevent the channelling of election spending through supposedly independent committees and interest groups. Only a handful of countries have regulations in place for third-party campaigning and globalisation is complicating the regulation of private funding of political parties as foreign companies and wealthy individuals are often deeply integrated with domestic business interests. This OECD report finds that 29% of OECD countries have an independent electoral management body and there is no one-size-fits all model. But whatever the structure, the institutions responsible for enforcing political finance regulations should have a clear mandate, legal power and the capacity to deal with large volumes of work. While data clearly shows that sanctions are effective in improving compliance with the rules, many countries struggle to ensure sanctions that are both proportionate and dissuasive. One clear-cut lesson is that ensuring the effective implementation of political finance regulations still remains challenging in many countries. The Framework on Financing Democracy presented in this report shapes the global debate on risks and policy options, and provides tangible advice for the funding of political parties and electoral campaigns. The report also features detailed case studies of Canada, Chile, Estonia, France, Korea, Mexico, United Kingdom, Brazil and India.

El presente trabajo da cuenta de una parte de los resultados de un trabajo de investigación1 que se estructuró en torno al interés por conocer cómo se entretejen los mandatos sociales que recaen sobre la docencia con las significaciones que los estudiantes van construyendo acerca de la profesión docente a lo largo de su biografía de formación, en la configuración de una identidad profesional. A partir de los aportes teóricos provenientes del campo de la psicología social, en sus vertientes grupal e institucional, se abrodó la pregunta relativa a ¿cuáles son los procesos y los elementos relevantes que intervienen en la conformación de la identidad docente en los estudiantes de profesorado? La conceptualización de las nociones de identidad, subjetividad colectiva, procesos de formación y práctica (docente) permitieron el abordaje teórico de esta pregunta. El trabajo de campo estuvo diseñado para producir un material empírico (con entrevistas, trabajos grupales, registros de clase) que permitiera tener acceso a las prácticas y discursos de los practicantes de licenciatura en Educación Primaria de la Benemérita Escuela Nacional de Maestros.

Sovereign green bond issuance has grown significantly in both advanced and emerging economies since 2016. Green bonds make up the largest share of the labeled bond market. Major benefits of sovereign green bonds include their positive impact on creditworthiness and alignment with ESG policies.
