La “oposición” es el método de selección de personal para los cuerpos superiores de la función pública española y cientos de miles de candidatos participan en las oposiciones cada año. A pesar de ...ello, permanece sin haberse estudiado su validez predictiva y sus potenciales efectos sobre la igualdad de trato para hombres y mujeres. Este artículo presenta dos estudios independientes dedicados establecer la validez predictiva y el grado de igualdad de trato de la “oposición”. En el primero se examinó con candidatos al Cuerpo de Técnicos de Hacienda. Los resultados indicaron una validez operativa ρ = .54 (N = 392) y un valor d de Cohen promedio de .14 para la igualdad de trato favorable a los hombres. El segundo estudio se realizó con candidatos al Cuerpo Superior de Inspectores de Hacienda y la validez operativa fue de ρ = .50 (N =.70) y la d de Cohen de .33 favorable a las mujeres. Los resultados indican que la “oposición” muestra una validez semejante o superior a la de los mejores instrumentos de selección de personal. Finalmente, se discuten las implicaciones para la práctica y se hacen recomendaciones para mejorar este sistema de acceso a la función pública.
This article reflects on the principle of equal treatment as a constant feature that pervades the European Union’s legal order and its specific role in competition law. Throughout history, this ...principle has been a foundation stone for developing the characteristics, such as freedom of movement, that one would consensually recognise as distinctive features that make the European Union a
political construction. After a brief analysis of the principle’s development and ever-expanding contours, with new instruments emerging along the way and contributing to its importance, we will focus on the application of this principle to competition law. Paying particular attention to the
case, we will demonstrate how the general principle of equal treatment remains relevant when confronted with new types of discriminatory abuses.

We explore the implications of three basic and intuitive axioms for income redistribution problems: equal treatment of equals, additivity and stability. We show that the combination of the three ...axioms characterizes two focal and polar rules: laissez-faire and full redistribution.
•We study the income redistribution problem from an axiomatic perspective.•We focus on three basic axioms: equal treatment of equals, additivity, and stability.•Two focal and polar rules are laissez-faire and full redistribution.•They are characterized by the combination of the three axioms.•Compromises between them are characterized by the first two axioms.
The cornerstones of EU citizenship are the right of free movement and the right not to be discriminated against on grounds of nationality. In this article, I choose three categories and test either ...the overlap between EU citizenship status and practice (Eurostars) or the mismatch between the two ('perceived as Roma EU citizens' and EEA-non-EU citizens - Norwegians in this case). I use a performative citizenship approach and, based on 51 interviews with free movers, I analyse how their free movement acts extend and challenge EU citizenship. I argue that the differentiated practice of free movement creates different gears of EU citizenship and, thus, an internally differentiated membership as well as a quasi-EU citizenship outside the formal status.
After decades of the American "war on drugs" and relentless prison expansion, political officials are finally challenging mass incarceration. Many point to an apparently promising solution to reduce ...the prison population: addiction treatment.InAddicted to Rehab, Bard College sociologist Allison McKim gives an in-depth and innovative ethnographic account of two such rehab programs for women, one located in the criminal justice system and one located in the private healthcare system-two very different ways of defining and treating addiction. McKim's book shows how addiction rehab reflects the race, class, and gender politics of the punitive turn. As a result, addiction has become a racialized category that has reorganized the link between punishment and welfare provision. While reformers hope that treatment will offer an alternative to punishment and help women, McKim argues that the framework of addiction further stigmatizes criminalized women and undermines our capacity to challenge gendered subordination. Her study ultimately reveals a two-tiered system, bifurcated by race and class.
