Abstract

Distressed urban areas threaten social cohesion in urban regions, the very centre of our economies. This problem can be traced to no single cause; rather it represents a combination of environmental, economic, social and cultural circumstances that take spatial form in different parts of inner cities and suburbs. Traditional policies have not succeeded in halting the downward spiral that effects these areas because they were unable to address the complex and area-based nature of the problem at the local level. The aim of this study is to describe this phenomenon and analyse policies implemented in OECD countries, so as to come up with multisectoral policies that are better suited to the problems they have to address.Policy objectives include attracting investment, creating jobs, rebuilding sound economic and social foundations and, more generally, combatting the isolation from which distressed urban areas suffer. Different levels of government, civic society and the private sector all have roles to play. There is an urgent need for integrative policies based on reinforcement of the local dimension and on partnerships that bring all the actors together.

Abstract

Waar voorheen 'integratie met behoud van identiteit' stelregel was, vindt men nu dat allochtonen zich sterker moeten oriënteren op de Nederlandse samenleving. De overheid wil dit vooral realiseren door lokaal beleid. Schoolopbouwwerkers worden hierbij regelmatig als 'bondgenoten' betrokken. Maar waar werkt deze beroepsgroep precies aan mee? Welk beeld van sociale integratie ligt achter dit beleid besloten? Na een algemene inleiding over 'integratie en de multiculturele samenleving' volgen hoofdstukken over de wijk, menging (in de wijk, in het onderwijs en in de sport), samenlevingsopbouw en sociale integratie.

Abstract

The question of whether democratization is an elite-led process from above or a popular triumph from below continues to be an area of contention among political scientists. Examining the experiences of countries which have provided the main empirical base for recent theorizing, namely, Western Europe and South America in the 19th and early 20th centuries and again in the 1970s and 1980s, this book delineates a more complex and varied set of patterns. The volume explores the politics of democratization through a comparative analysis that examines the role of labor in relation to elite strategies in both contemporary and historical perspectives. In her detailed analysis, Professor Collier also describes multiple patterns within each historical period, challenges conventional understandings of these events, and recaptures a role for unions and labor-based parties in contemporary processes of democratization.
