Since 1989 one quarter of armed conflicts are unresolved and half of modern conflicts return to war in five years. I argue the failure to sustain peace is a result of current liberal peace building paradigms. If peace is the process of achieving collective and individual freedom from structural violence, I argue foreign aid must use human rights, particularly economic, social and cultural rights (ESC). Using the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) and precedents set by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural rights I analyze the human rights impact of the practices of the United States Agency for International Development and the United Nations Development Programme. The past two decades of aid to the OPT reflects liberal paradigms of aid for peace and the prioritization of civil and political rights. By showing that ESC rights are justiciable obligations that can be applied to the practice of peace building, I am expanding the notion of liberalism to include ESC rights frameworks, so that peace building can address (in)securities avoided by liberal peace practices. ····· 10361135701

The dismantling of the socialist state in Egypt added more challenges in order for Egypt to meet the Millennium Development Goals. This research focuses on roles played by Egyptian development NGOs in realizing social development. The purpose of the study is to examine the validity of the `third road` thesis that emerged from the dominant Neo-Liberal development discourse. The author interviewed prominent experts in the field in Egypt and reviewed relevant literature. For the empirical part of the study, ten Egyptian Development NGOs were thoroughly studied. Although Egyptian NGOs exist and operate in an environment constrained by bureaucratic siege and security surveillance, they are blazing a trial in creating new dimensions of civil activism through changing people`s perception from waiting for solutions for problems they barely consider theirs, to feeling empowered by owning the problems and solutions. NGOs lacked collective vision for how to deal with their environment because they live in isolated islands due to the absence of constructive dialogue ····· 10361134586
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray History of development proved that any planning of urban as well as rural areas in isolation never provided complete solution to the problems. Thus, it is now recognized that rural and urban developments are interdependent. There are economic and demographic linkages reflected in the flows of goods, services, people, labor, capital, and information across the two spaces. Even though different developing countries recognized and welcomed the importance of integrated rural-urban development, there is no much information regarding rural-urban marketing linkages. In line with this premise, this research is undertaken to explore marketing linkages between Kobo town and the surrounding rural areas. The study, indicated that, the existence of fertile plain areas coupled with practice of small scale modern irrigation projects, show strong consumption linkages with limited backward linkages and lack of forward production linkages. By identifying linkages, this study tried to provide some possible recommendations to strengthen the rural-urban marketing linkages for integrated development. Thus, it can help policy makers in the area of regional development planning. ····· 10361134585

Twenty years of continuous war had ravaged the country and with the Taliban s expulsion of western aid agencies, Afghans were further deprived of basic needs. The international community has rallied, donating nearly $40 billion in aid since 2001 to help develop Afghanistan. However, this investment has not yielded optimal results, as fundamental mistakes have limited the growth in capacity of the Afghan government and its people. Through analyzing the effectiveness of the major donor programs, it has become clear the absence of a unified development program has undermined the growth and capacity of the Afghan government. International aid programs in Afghanistan have revealed that providing a service of need trumps increasing the capacity of governance and rule of law. The status quo cannot persist. Short-term humanitarian efforts need to shift to long-term sustainable projects. To ensure the success of the Afghan state and remove its dependence on international aid, it is imperative to learn from past international aid mistakes and apply the proper changes to Afghanistan. ····· 10361134308
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book explores the application of mobile technologies for health in rural areas in developing countries, so as to provide reflections about the potential of the nascent m-health field. It sheds light on the gaps in the literature through a case study in two regions of Peru, but is not limited to this specific context and provides wider reflections on current topics of discussion in the field. A qualitative approach was used, including a combination of methods both in traditional face-to-face and online settings. The book highlights three important advantages of m-health in developing countries: the value of the immediacy in the communication for emergencies, the multimedia capabilities and the improved reliability of this technology. However, it also reflects on the recent limitations for their adoption and use in isolated communities, providing realistic considerations about the constraints of this potential for the poorest groups. Furthermore, it shows how the most relevant benefits of m-health in developing countries are derived from the natural use of the technology among the population, rather than through externally conceptualised and driven m-health programmes. ····· 10361134036

Consequently global financial crises affect them differently but indiscriminately. Adverse effects of the crises come in the forms of differentiated socio- economic shocks and impacts. Of more significance however is the fact that in some countries financial crises come on the back of localised crises making isolation of their impacts difficult at the macro level. However evidences from previous crises indicate that at the micro-level, it is possible to illuminate of impacts of independent crises.

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The book is trying to answer one of the most hot questions related to the development of Syrian agriculture: how to sustain high agricultural productivity to provide acceptable level of incomes to farmers and at the same time preserve the most scarce natural resource of the Country, namely water. The research is based on quantitative analysis of data collected at the field level and from secondary sources. Due to time and financial constraints, the research was confined to the north-eastern region of the Country where the problem of water shortages is mostly observed. The region farms are classified in small number of representative farms and then a mathematical programming model was built for each. The models allowed tracing the demand function for water by each representative farm. By takig the weighted sum of the individual functions, we get demand function for water at the regional level, which allow us to trace the impact of many policy scenarios on cropping mixes and water use consequently. Then correspondent changes in farm gross margins and so-called certainty equivalents are used to shed light on the impacts of these scenarios on incomes and their stability. ····· 10361133734
für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Microcredit has been considered one of the most significant innovations in the field of development in the last thirty years. It has contributed positively to the natural resource management by forming social capital, creating alternate income and diversifying livelihoods of resource dependent rural people. In recent years, the notion of government as the only decision-making authority in natural resource management has been replaced by multi-scale, polycentric governance, which recognizes that a large number of stakeholders in different institutional settings contribute to overall management of resources. Improving the management and empowering local communities, community-based management has become a common strategy in the last two decades and community-based organizations are grassroot institutions that involve rural communities in co-management. This book provides a comprehensive synthesis of the role of microcredit in socio-economic development of a wetland resource dependent community and factors involved in sustainability of community-based organizations. It also offers evidence of social learning that evolved through microcredit and grassroot institutional interventions. ····· 10361133671
für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray In the last years the EU went through a process of significant territorial reconfiguration as a consequence of the intensified cooperation between regions beyond national borders. The European Spatial Development Perspective certainly gave the momentum for such changes. Even though the ESDP never gained a statutory force at the EU level, it clearly stimulated pioneering actions towards more meaningful provisions for a spatial development across Member States and their regions. Eventually, it paved a way to the demarcation of 13 transnational zones within the EU and the launch of the INTERREG initiative to support cooperation within these territories. This book provides a unique glance at the transnational cooperation within the North Sea Region and investigates the impact of the EU financial support allocated to the region through the INTERREG IIIB North Sea Programme. ····· 10361133474
für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book is a modest but far reaching case study of Tajikikistan`s 1992 to 1997 civil war and post-war transformation. From a third sector perspective, the author makes informed analysis of events during and after the war by applying contemporary peace and conflict theories and concepts to verify achievements of various Peace Accords in Tajikistan. It observes the corrupt and authoritarian regimes with unstable economy. It underscores the positive interventions of the non-governmental sector including local and international NGOs and CBOs in traditional forms of local self-governance in peacebuilding and local empowerment.This is why author applies merits and demerits analysis to third sector participation in conflict transformation. The research engages effectively in government policy and collaboration with NGOs. Using empirical research, it suggests that despite inherent challenges imposed on civil society building, coupled with absense of social contract and features of negative peace, it is impossible to undermine traditional approaches in reconciliation, peacebuilding and development projects. Highly recommended for negotiators, NGOs and researchers in development studies. ····· 10361133432

Firstly, we surveyed the participants in the GB, BRAC and ASA in order to see the income status of the rural in Bangladesh which shows that income of the participants of these MFIs have not been increased. So the outcomes of the studies which showed earlier that the income of the participants of the MFIs had been increased that helped the rural poor to break the poverty circle in Bangladesh are evidently misleading. This study also makes a humble attempt to identify the factors that are prohibiting the rural poor in becoming the participants in the MFIs in Bangladesh. The result shows that there have been at least seven reasons and two of them are religious factors which are responsible for discouraging the rural poor to become the participants in the MFIs. This fact implies that we need an alternative way which can involve those rural poor who remain outside microfinance scheme can try to improve their own economic condition by self-employment in the micro-enterprises operated by themselves. In this respect, we explored the potentialities of three Islamic MFIs (IMFIs) operated in Bangladesh and recommended a paradigm shift. ····· 10361133037
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Development scholars seem to have now accepted that cultural attributes and values actually matter in development, but there is still much debate over actually how they matter and play a role in development processes. This book argues that the development industry needs to carefully reconsider cultural assets and incorporate them into its work at both conceptual and programmatic levels. By viewing cultural traditions as complex practices and meanings which are embedded in people s lives, this analysis demonstrates the significance of culture and its positive and negative roles in development processes. Cultural Capital is recognized here as a crucial concept for incorporating culture into livelihood analysis and rural development planning and implementation. This study is based on field-based research by the author in Sri Lanka, but its findings have much wider relevance for international development efforts. The study identifies and celebrates those who are inspired by their ancestors, their traditions, knowledge and value systems, and who believe that their cultural values are the back-bone of who they are and how they live . ····· 10361132794
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Main goal of this work is to present history of development of the European cross-border cooperation (CBC), in the context of cross-border impacts (and their evaluation), as added value of the projects realized within the European territorial cooperation. It is one of the tools in unification and integration of Europe. This goal was reached due to examining outputs of questionnaires and careful analysis of programme documents. The output of this work is a compilation of problematic fields, which were present during evaluation of cross-border impacts and cooperation within realized projects. Main problem seems to be the wide range of activities realized within individual programmes, and therefore it is very complicated to compile a single, complete system of evaluation and checking of projects. It arises from the analysis of programme documents as in OP CBC CZ-PL and OP CBC SK-CZ, that the ability of mixing soft and hard activities within one operational programme and within one area of support causes need of as most universal framework for evaluations as possible. That on contrary excludes the option of including all possible situations incurred during the evaluations. ····· 10361132793

While Sub-Saharan Africa has for a number of decades received substantial chunks of aid, ostensibly to improve living standards of the masses, in the majority of countries, living standards seem to be falling and the numbers of those who are destitute increasing. In addition even Ombudsmen and other integrity monitoring institutions, set up to ensure that ethical standards are observed in both public and private domains seems to be whipping a dead horse .

To be sustainable, integral development requires the participation of various actors of development working together. Among these actors is the church which complements the efforts of the state, civil society and private sector through the promotion of the spiritual aspect of development. However, the Catholic Church has for a long time emphasised spirituality at the expense of the socio-economic aspect of development while at the same time remaining heavily dependent on foreign aid, particularly from Europe and the United States of America. With outside funding dwindling away, the church through the laity has no choice but to promote self-development, that is, development from within. As this book shows, plans, programmes and projects for integral development took shape in the 1980s in Bukoba Diocese, Tanzania. The role played by the Kolping Society of Tanzania, the Union of Catholic Women in Tanzania (WAWATA) and the AIDS Control Programme is commendable. But this is just the beginning. ····· 10361132368

It accounts for over 30 percent of GDP and 70 percent of total employment and therefore it is obvious that the agricultural sector is a key component to economic growth, development and plays a pivotal role in poverty reduction. The rising poverty situation in the world especially in Sub Sahara Africa (SSA) has led to the development of poverty reduction strategies in several countries and the world at large in an effort to abate poverty. While some of these strategies have witnessed success in some countries, others have failed to produce expected results or are still to produce significant results especially in Africa where these measures are widely implemented .This book presents a scientific and objective examination of Policy interventions in SSA Economies especially countries that have gone through the structural Adjustment Process.

However, Nepal is governed by various intersecting codes of hierarchy. Religion, language, caste, ethnicity, and gender are the most fundamental elements constituting its highly hierarchal structure. The hierarchal structure of the society, put enhances marginalisation of certain caste and women and put their livelihood in more vulnerable condition. Community forestry was introduced to improve Nepalese community livelihood and conserve country s fragile ecosystem. However, it has experienced major changes during its history. In this study, by utilizing a critical discourse analysis, position of Nepalese women in community forestry is examined. To do so, the interplay of formal and informal institutions in Nepal which constitutes patriarchal norms and practices, is revealed. Moreover, in order to discover underlying reasons of women s subordination in community forestry in Nepal and propose probable solutions, discursive relation of these gendered norms and practices with women, as active agents who can negotiate with those institutions, is unpacked. ····· 10361119034

The findings challenge the skepticism that local people cannot successfully conduct targeting when properly guided. They have knowledge about poverty as well as its categories and causes, which are similar to those being used by development practitioners, though theirs is up-to-date. The paper argues that community-based methods have great potential of reaching out to the most needy people or households at affordable cost since there is cost sharing with community people, most of whom volunteer their time. The study further confirms that the method works better when the following factors are considered institutional set up and capacity, financial flow and sustainability, and technical and political support to implementing agencies and agents. ····· 10361118550

Of the several attempts in Sri Lanka to bridge this divide, Samurdhi , the current main social safety net in Sri Lanka, can be considered the most significant attempt. This book places its emphasis on researching the factors that influence the Samurdhi program s potential for creating a constructive engagement between the state and the civil society, thus empowering the civil society and contributing to achieving economic development. The study shows that state - society interaction has created a number of mutual benefits for both the state and society. Yet, some of the positive impacts of this synergy have been diminished by the absence of a proper policy direction. The political involvement in the program has created a distorted form of state - society interaction , thus negating some of the benefits of the synergy between the two actors. The book also suggests that current theories on the state - society synergy should pay more attention to causes of social fragmentations such as ethnicity and caste in the South Asian societies. ····· 10361118082
