Abstract

If a country’s Gross Domestic Product increases each year, but so does the percentage of its people deprived of basic education, health care, and other opportunities, is that country really making progress? If we rely on conventional economic indicators, can we ever grasp how the world’s billions of individuals are really managing? In this powerful critique, Martha Nussbaum argues that our dominant theories of development have given us policies that ignore our most basic human needs for dignity and self-respect. For the past twenty-five years, Nussbaum has been working on an alternate model to assess human development: the Capabilities Approach. She and her colleagues begin with the simplest of questions: What is each person actually able to do and to be? What real opportunities are available to them? The Capabilities Approach to human progress has until now been expounded only in specialized works. Creating Capabilities, however, affords anyone interested in issues of human development a wonderfully lucid account of the structure and practical implications of an alternate model. It demonstrates a path to justice for both humans and nonhumans, weighs its relevance against other philosophical stances, and reveals the value of its universal guidelines even as it acknowledges cultural difference. In our era of unjustifiable inequity, Nussbaum shows how—by attending to the narratives of individuals and grasping the daily impact of policy—we can enable people everywhere to live full and creative lives.

Abstract

This book offers a unique focus on the everyday ethics of community development practice in the context of local and global struggles for equity and social justice.Contributors from around the world (from India to the Netherlands and USA) grapple with ethical dilemmas and tensions, including how to: respect and learn from Indigenous values and philosophies; challenge environmental destruction; gain consent in divided communities; maintain or breach professional boundaries; and develop new paradigms for transformative community organising, sustainable development and ethically-sensitive practice.Offering theoretical frameworks, philosophical perspectives and practical case examples (from sex worker collectives to tree action groups and Australian Indigenous communities) this book is essential reading for community-based practitioners, students and academics.Bron: https://policy.bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/ethics-equity-and-community-development

Abstract

Een actueel en belangrijk boek over de grondslagen van werk in de wereldWerk is een fundamenteel deel van ons leven. Daarom is het van zo'n groot belang dat werk voor iedereen beschikbaar én waardig is. Dat dat vandaag nog lang niet zo is, tonen de wantoestanden van moderne slavernij in Myanmar en Qatar, de onderwaardering van het huispersoneel en de textielarbeidsters in India en Bangladesh, het brute geweld tegen vakbondsleden in Latijns-Amerika, de informele economie in Afrika... In het Westen staan elementaire arbeidsrechten zoals de sociale zekerheid en het stakingsrecht onder druk. En wat met de digitalisering en automatisering, zijn die een bedreiging voor onze jobmarkt?Luc Cortebeeck strijdt al meer dan veertig jaar voor sociale rechtvaardigheid. Vanaf 2011 was hij vicevoorzitter en voorzitter van de Internationale Arbeidsorganisatie (IAO), het VN-agentschap dat regeringen, werkgevers en werknemers verenigt en via internationale conventies ijvert voor waardig werk en globalisering met een menselijk gelaat. In Er is nog werk bundelt hij zijn ervaringen en inzichten, die aanzetten tot nadenken en oproepen tot actie. Vanuit een analyse van de situatie van arbeid in de wereld van vandaag, buigt hij zich over de toekomst van werk: hoe kunnen we kinderarbeid en sociale uitbuiting de wereld uithelpen? Hoe dwingen we regeringen en multinationals tot respect voor alle werknemers in de toeleveringsketen? Hoe wenden we de uitdaging van de digitale revolutie aan om de ongelijkheid aan te pakken?Bron : http://www.lannoo.be

Abstract

While not evident immediately, social norms and values play a crucial role in the theory of social choice. In the first half of the twentieth century, the special acknowledgement by economic theory of the autonomy of individuals and their subjective view of the world had led to the serious problem that socially acceptable decisions could not be made in the absence of unanimity. In this work, social norms and values are reintroduced to overcome this shortcoming by applying a common standard and, thus, making individual preferences comparable. In particular, it is shown, how the adoption of thes

Abstract

The new edition of this landmark international work builds on the previous two volumes, offering a window onto occupational therapy practice, theory and ideas in different cultures and geographies. It emphasizes the importance of critically deconstructing and engaging with the broader context of occupation, particularly around how occupational injustices are shaped through political, economic and historical factors.Centring on the wider social and political aspects of occupation and occupation-based practices, this textbook aims to inspire occupational therapy students and practitioners to include transformational elements into their practice. It also illustrates how occupational therapists from all over the world can affect positive changes by engaging with political and historical contexts.Divided into six sections, the new edition begins by analyzing the key concepts outlined throughout, along with an overview on the importance and practicalities of monitoring and evaluation in community projects. Section Two explores occupation and justice emphasizing that issues of occupational injustice are present everywhere, in different forms: from clinical settings to community-based rehabilitation. Section Three covers the enactment of different Occupational Therapies with a focus on the multiplicity of occupational therapy from the intimately personal to the broadly political. Section Four engages with the broader context of occupational therapy from the political to the financial. The chapters in this section highlight the recent financial crisis and the impact it has had on people?s everyday life. Section Five collects a range of different approaches to working to enable a notion of occupational justice. Featuring chapters from across the globe, Section Six concludes by highlighting the importance and diversity of educational practices.

Abstract

Van het Glazen Huis van Studio Brussel tot het fonds van Bill Gates en zijn halve trouwboek: 50 jaar na de onafhankelijkheid van de Afrikaanse landen is de kritiek op de ontwikkelingshulp zeer groot. Ze werkt averechts en in plaats van aan onrechtvaardige structuren te tornen, houdt ze het dikwijls bij liefdadigheid die het geweten sust. Even groot is het contrast tussen de bescheiden millenniumdoelstellingen en de gigantische kapitalen die uit arme landen gesleept worden. Dit boek over ontwikkeling en ontwikkelingssamenwerking is bijzonder omdat het de kritiek au sérieux neemt maar tegelijk pleit voor méér solidariteit tussen Noord en Zuid. Hiervoor zal de sector zich wel moeten hervormen. Er zal ook politieke ruimte moeten komen om structurele veranderingen mogelijk te maken
