The author provides a trenchant critique of the concept `social capital` and the link between social capital and regional economic development which has been propagated in Australia and around the world. The author draws attention to the `missing links` in social capital theory, exploring how the concept has mutated from its origins as a tool in a tightly theorised framework for the explanation of social structure and inequality, into a community development tool which many believe can be used to remedy such inequality. With reference to a case study of the local government area of the City of Playford in South Australia, the author argues that not only are current understandings of social capital unable to adequately address issues of class and structural inequality in Australian regional development, they may also be contributing to their exacerbation. ····· 1036187159

Thereafter, the investigation shifts more specifically to examine the roles of CBOs in terms of their contribution towards development, focussing on the selected case study area of Gubre, in Ethiopia. The analysis subsequently assesses the nature and extent of community participation in terms of development initiatives as well as identifies the potential and challenges of CBOs. Within the context of abovementioned analysis, the study finally brings in to focus general observations gained from the investigation and provides recommendations to policy makers and other stakeholders in the development arena. ····· 1036187099

Therefore this study focusses on sex and sexuality education as a possibility to challenge institutionalised sexism and enhance sexual well-being. As sex education has become a battle of morality, non-governmental and other organisations can be seen as alternatives to national curriculum plans encouraged by the government. This study therefore discusses the potential of NGOs in terms of sexual empowerment by examining beliefs and understanding, choices of information, strategies and methods, and approaches apparent in sex education programs and projects. Through interviews with staff, facilitators and experts, conversations with participants, and visits to workshops and other activities, this study outlines the creative power of local NGOs in New Delhi. ····· 1036186939

Moreover, it discusses the local community s dependency on the hospital, while a smaller part of the paper looks at HLH as a corporate social responsibility (CSR) object for Xstrata Plc. Haydom Lutheran Hospital has since its inauguration by Norwegian missionaries in 1955 been highly funded by public and private financial, human and technological resources from abroad, especially from Norway. The empirical findings show that HLH has become too dependent on the Royal Norwegian Embassy, and has wrongly seen it as a secured long-term funding source. The activity level has been continuously increasing, though the financial resources have been unclear. Even though quality of care is higher at HLH than at most other mission hospital in Tanzania, a question arose within the paper about the cost of adhering to such high quality. The organizational structure has moreover been overly dependent on one person the ardent soul leaving a gap with him leaving this position. In the thesis second part it is suggested that Xstrata has the possibility to adhere to strategic philanthropy CSR. ····· 1036186847

In such cases, reconciliation can present a way to recuperate and rebuild broken relationships amongst former adversaries. Reconciliation itself, however, is not a general concept or set of rules to be equally applied towards different groups or countries. This thesis is centered on a key question: what are the meanings of reconciliation and development in post-genocide Rwanda, and how are they related To examine this relationship, three possible connections are conceptualized: social healing and community development, reparations and economic development, and shared views on history and political development. This research contends that in a post-conflict setting, development without reconciliation is an incomplete process. ····· 1036186743
····· lezzter Preis 24.00€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Wie die gescheiterten Vermittlungsversuche im Libyen-Konflikt bewiesen haben, hat sich die Afrikanische Union gut zehn Jahre nach ihrer Gründung noch nicht als panafrikanische Konfliktlösungsinstanz durchgesetzt. Dabei ist die AU nur eine von zahlreichen sicherheits- und friedenspolitischen Akteuren auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent, denn die regionalen Wirtschaftsgemeinschaften haben auf subregionaler Ebene längst eigenständige Konfliktlösungsmechanismen aufgebaut. Somit stellt sich die Frage, welcher Stellenwert der AU in der Beilegung von Konflikten in Afrika zugeschrieben werden kann. Einen passenden theoretischen Rahmen für die Beantwortung dieser Frage bietet die Theorie regionaler Sicherheitskomplexe von Barry Buzan und Ole Wæver, bei der die Region als Analyseebene der internationalen Sicherheitsbeziehungen im Mittelpunkt steht. Die Theorie löst sich vom Staat als alleinigem Referenzobjekt und sieht Sicherheit nicht mehr als reale, objektive Größe an, sondern als ein gesellschaftliches Konstrukt. Vor diesem Hintergrund lautet die zentrale Forschungsfrage: Stellt die Afrikanische Union einen regionalen Sicherheitskomplex im Sinne der Theorie von Buzan und Wæver dar Oder wird die afrikanische Sicherheitsarchitektur von mehreren kleineren subregionalen Sicherheitskomplexen dominiert Im Ergebnis scheint sich in Afrika südlich der Sahara tatsächlich ein übergreifender regionaler Sicherheitskomplex gebildet zu haben, dem die regionalen Wirtschaftsgemeinschaften als Subkomplexe untergeordnet sind. Somit sollte über die Einführung einer entsprechenden Zwischenebene als fester Bestandteil der Theorie nachgedacht werden. Der Maghreb scheint sich jedoch nicht dem Sicherheitskomplex im restlichen Afrika unterordnen zu lassen, sondern sich verstärkt mit dem europäischen Sicherheitskomplex zu verzahnen. Es wird die Hypothese vertreten, dass diese Entwicklungen in der afrikanischen Sicherheitsarchitektur auf einen Paradigmenwechsel auf globaler sowie regionaler Ebene zurückzuführen sind. Demnach hätten die Konzepte der Schutzverantwortung, der Nichtgleichgültigkeit sowie der menschlichen Sicherheit die Sicherheitsdynamiken auf dem afrikanischen Kontinent derart beeinflusst, dass sich in Afrika südlich der Sahara ein regionaler Sicherheitskomplex bilden konnte. ····· 1036173813

····· lezzter Preis 16.80€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Soziologie der globalen Gesellschaft Nach dem großen Erfolg des Bandes `Einführung in die Entwicklungssoziologie` erscheint nun eine neu zusammengestellte Einführung. Die Bezugspunkte der Soziologie waren für lange Zeit die sich modernisierenden Gesellschaften zunächst in (West-)Europa und dann in Nordamerika. Mit der Dekolonialisierung und Entwicklung der nicht-westlichen Weltregionen kommen zunehmend die nicht-westlichen, häufig postkolonialen Gesellschaften sowie die damit einhergehenden Beziehungsverhältnisse ins Blickfeld. Mit diesen sich wandelnden Bezugspunkten hat sich zugleich aus einer Vielzahl national dominierter Soziologien eine zunehmend international orientierte und verstärkt global ausgerichtete Soziologie entwickelt. Aufmerksamkeit hat in diesem Kontext insbesondere das Konzept des `Transnationalen` auf sich gezogen. Nicht Nationalstaaten oder national verankerte Wirtschaftsunternehmen, sondern globalisierte Akteure sind die wesentlichen Träger gesellschaftlichen Handelns. Ermöglicht wurde dieser Prozess durch neue Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien. Daraus entwickeln sich Netzwerkstrukturen, die die zukünftige gesellschaftliche Produktion, Distribution und Konsumtion beeinflussen. Neuere soziologische Ansätze gehen weiters davon aus, dass globale Informationen lokal jeweils unterschiedlich rezipiert werden. Darüber hinaus wird die These einer global vereinheitlichten Kultur auch durch empirische Befunde relativiert, dass die ohne Zweifel existierenden Homogenisierungstendenzen stets auch lokalen Widerstand provoziert und kreiert haben, so dass kulturelle Globalisierung paradoxerweise stets auch begleitet ist von einem Erstarken des Lokalen. ····· 1036153096

This involves land use change from agricultural rural and peri-urban areas to predominantly urban land uses under centralised State level agency. In this process, landscape surrounding the lake in the village appears to have transformed from a wetland-lake ecosystem, which acted as a village commons, to private property owned by private entity or fenced system disconnected from ecosystem. Thus, this has resulted in changing perceptions of the traditional local community usage of the lakes as they are increasingly looked as land property for profit-making. There is also a differential impact on the local village community as those marginalised section of local village community who don t have legal land tenure rights are denied legal water rights . This marks a paradigm shift of viewing lakes as common property to private property or social use to economic good . ····· 1036125819

Qualitative case study method is used for this. Accountability, transparency, and participation are used as theoretical tools for understanding good governance. This book shows that good governance and effective service delivery are influenced by the management in the organization, sufficient human and financial resource capacity and government policies. Education, rural development, and technology have more of a significant impact on good governance and promoting service delivery. The public organizations are weak for providing efficient services because of political and bureaucratic constraints. Strengthening Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and enhancing NGOs capacity can establish good governance.This book assumes that a public private partnership approach of local government organizations can be a suitable policy recommendation and future research agenda of good governance in Bangladesh. ····· 1036125722

····· lezzter Preis 44.10€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray The role of the state in a globalized world is increasingly challenged and constantly redefined by new localized and multi-polar pressures. Decentralization is often seen as a response to such pressures and a political solution to often complex development challenges, by bringing decisions and resources closest to the local communities. Often presented as the new panacea , the debate on decentralization in developing countries is however at times ill-defined and victim of ideological bias. This book aims at analyzing the decentralization process in the developing countries, by combining the use of governance concepts with tools and methods of the geopolitical analysis. Further to a review of the rather disappointing track record of decentralization processes in the African continent, the book reviews the rather promising yet still incomplete case of Ghana, whose decentralization process was not only the first key step towards democratic reforms, but it was also used as a strategy to address the challenges posed by the development and economic divide between the Northern and the Southern regions. ····· 1036125377

This research study showed that while assessing the status of financial inclusion, it was found that one third the households in three districts are still marginalized with limited or no access to basic financial services including that of microfinance and insurance. While existing initiatives in measuring financial inclusion are estimated it is found that there is a need for greater focus on the micro and distributional dimensions of financial resources.
