Center for Global Development Oil to Cash: Fighting the Resource Curse Through
Book SynopsisWhat should a country do if it suddenly discovers oil and gas? How should it spend the subsequent cash windfall? How can it protect against corruption? How can citizens truly benefit from national wealth? With many of the world's poorest and most fragile states suddenly joining the ranks of oil and gas producers, these are pressing policy questions.Oil to Cash explores one option that may help avoid the so-called resource curse: just give the money directly to citizens. A universal, transparent, and regular cash transfer would not only provide a concrete benefit to regular people, but would also create powerful incentives for citizens to hold their government accountable. Oil to Cash details how and where this idea could work and how policymakers can learn from the experiences with cash transfers in places like Mexico, Mongolia, and Alaska.

Center for Global Development Governor's Solution: Alaska's Oil Dividend and
Book SynopsisReliance on natural resource revenues, particularly oil, is often associated with bad governance, corruption, and poverty. Worried about the effect of oil on Alaska, Governor Jay Hammond had a simple yet revolutionary idea: let citizens have a direct stake. The Governor's Solution features his first-hand account that describes, with brutal honesty and piercing humour, the birth of the Alaska Permanent Fund dividend, which has been paid to each resident every year since 1982. Thirty years later, Hammond's vision is still influencing oil policies throughout the world.This reader, part of the Center for Global Development's Oil-to-Cash initiative, includes recent scholarly work examining Alaska's experience and how other oil-rich societies, particularly Iraq, might apply some of the lessons. It is as a powerful reminder that the combination of new ideas and determined individuals can make a tremendous difference —even in issues as seemingly complex and intractable as fighting the oil curse.

Center for Global Development The Rebirth of Education: From 19th-Century
Book SynopsisDespite great progress around the world in getting more kids into schools, too many leave without even the most basic skills. In India's rural Andhra Pradesh, for instance, only about one in twenty children in fifth grade can perform basic arithmetic. The problem is that schooling is not the same as learning. In The Rebirth of Education, Lant Pritchett uses two metaphors from nature to explain why. The first draws on Ori Brafman and Rod Beckstrom's book about the difference between centralized and decentralized organizations, The Starfish and the Spider. Schools systems tend be centralized and suffer from the limitations inherent in top-down designs. The second metaphor is the concept of isomorphic mimicry. Pritchett argues that many developing countries superficially imitate systems that were successful in other nations - much as a nonpoisonous snake mimics the look of a poisonous one. Pritchett argues that the solution is to allow functional systems to evolve locally out of an environment pressured for success. Such an ecosystem needs to be open to variety and experimentation, locally operated, and flexibly financed. The only main cost is ceding control; the reward would be the rebirth of education suited for today's world.Trade Review"UN Declaration of Human Rights Article 26 guarantees the right of every child to free elementary education. Today, nearly 90 percent of children are enrolled in primary school, but enrollment is only the first step. Pritchett's insightful analysis and rigorous evidence point to the next step in realizing every child's right to education: the need for governments and donors to move from a focus on enrollment to a focus on learning." S. E. M. Vuk Jeremic, president of the 67th Session of the United Nations General Assembly|"A timely call to build on the success of expanding schooling to now focus the same dedication, energy, resources, and creativity on learning. Innovation in close partnership with our developing-country colleagues, whose voices must be heard on the systemic challenges, will be critical to the success of this next phase." Alice Albright, CEO of the Global Partnership for Education|"With abundant data, experience, and clear thinking, Pritchett makes a compelling case for why more of the same won't cut it anymore, how we need to think deeply about how change happens and who can drive it, and why we need to be suspicious of experts and blueprints." Rakesh Rajani, founder and head of Twaweza|"Lant Pritchett's recommendations will disappoint both orthodox economists and orthodox educators since they do not reinforce any of the standard recipes. But those willing to be convinced by Pritchett's logic and the particular blend of caring and impishness that characterizes his writing will be justifiably alarmed, then enlightened, and finally filled with hope. I urge all my colleagues to read it immediately." Luis Crouch, chief technical officer, International Development Group|"With his unique voice, full of data and analogies (after all, what book on education reform also mentions snakes, spiders, and elephants?), Lant Pritchett will make people rethink what they know (or think they know) about education, schooling, and learning." Elizabeth King, director of education, World Bank|"Lant Pritchett's pathbreaking and courageous work exposes the scandal of education policy which contents itself with achieving quantitative targets on student enrollment even when no real education is happening. Pritchett documents convincingly the problem of missing education, while offering constructive alternatives to the unacceptable complacency of the status quo. Nobody reading this book will ever think about education the same way again." William Easterly, professor of economics, New York University

Kingston Imperial The Secret Files
Book SynopsisIn 2018, reporter Michael Hayes uncovered a major story about how the NYPD was not only turning a blind eye to police misconduct, but also allowing hundreds of officers with severe misconduct charges to remain on the force. In the aftermath of that story, then-Mayor Bill de Blasio attempted to reform the department only to abandon his plans. While de Blasio may have suffered a political setback, it''s New Yorkers who are the true victims of this failure to deliver accountability and transparency. The state has a law that specifically prevents the public from learning about concealed police records. New Yorkers are increasingly distrustful of the police after witnessing their loved ones being targeted, brutalized, and murdered with near impunity. Hayes takes readers inside decades of police corruption and controversial laws, chronicling the stories of the families and activists who have had enough. He makes a compelling case for the limits of reform in the aftermath of the major Black Lives Matter rallies following the murder of George Floyd and growing calls to defund the police.

Rutgers University Press Marriage and Health: The Well-Being of Same-Sex
Book SynopsisStudies have shown that married couples have better mental and physical health than unmarried people. Leading scholars and policy makers propose that marriage can provide similar benefits to people in both same-sex and different-sex relationships. Though research on the health and well-being of same-sex couples is a new and growing field, Marriage and Health: The Well-Being of Same-Sex Couples represents the forefront of marriage and health research and the far-reaching policy implications for the health of same-sex couples. This collection of essays presents new perspectives that address current opportunities and challenges faced by people in same-sex unions in multiple domains of well-being, including physical and mental health, social support, socialized behaviors, and stigmas. The book offers a broad view of same-sex couples’ experiences by examining not only marriage and civil unions, but also dating and cohabiting relationships as well as same-sex sexual experiences outside of relationships. Trade Review“We are only at the beginning of understanding how marriage and other types of romantic unions influence mental and physical health for same-sex couples. The editors of Marriage and Health have deftly brought together the best evidence available to tell us what is currently known and where we need to go in the future. This volume serves as a guide to the most important questions, challenges, and strategic directions for research on same-sex relationships—all essential to protecting and maximizing the health and well-being of sexual minority populations.” -- Debra Umberson * author of "Death of a Parent: Transition to a New Adult Identity" *“Marriage and Health: The Well-Being of Same-Sex Couples is a welcome and overdue addition to the burgeoning literature on sexuality and health. By addressing a critical question—Does marriage matter for the well-being of those in sexual minority unions in similar ways as it does for those in heterosexual unions?—from multiple vantage points, this unique collection of cutting-edge studies is more than the sum of its parts and provides essential theoretical and empirical foundations for future research. It is my sincere hope that this important book will be widely read and stimulate a next generation of data collection and investigation.” -- Andrew S.

Rutgers University Press Courting Desire: Litigating for Love in North
Book SynopsisInquiries into marital patterns can serve as an effective lens to analyze social structures and material cultures not only on the question of sexuality, but also on the nature of a private citizen’s engagement with state and law. Through ethnographic research in courtrooms, community,and kinship spaces, the author outlines the transformations in material culture and political economy that have led to renewed negotiations on the institution of marriage in North India, especially in legal spaces. Tracing organically evolving notions of sexual consent and legal subjectivity, Courting Desire underlines how non-normative decisions regarding marriage become possible in a region otherwise known for high instances of honor killings and rigid kinship structures. Aspirations for consensual relationships have led to a tentative attempt to forge relationships that are non-normative but grudgingly approved after state intervention. The book traces this nascent and under-explored trend in the North Indian landscape. Trade Review“Courting Desire offers an unusual mix of ethnographic perspectives, exploring the pursuit of love and the critical role played by legal institutions in changing times. Srinivasan presents a rich canvas of messy human realities, while making a persuasive argument for the stable yet transformative value of law.” -- Ann Grodzins Gold * author of Listening to the Heron's Words: Reimaging Gender and Kinship in North India *“With captivating stories of love and elopement, Rama Srinivasan offers readers a refreshing new view of shifting paradigms on marriage and consent in North India. While elopement challenges both patriarchy and kinship, the courtroom offers young couples a legal validity and a new sense of personhood.

Rutgers University Press The Children in Child Health: Negotiating Young
Book SynopsisWho are the children in child health policy? How do they live and see the world, and why should we know them? A journey into the lives of children coping in a world compromised by poverty and inequality, The Children in Child Health challenges the invisibility of children’s perspectives in health policy and argues that paying attention to what children do is critical for understanding the practical and policy implications of these experiences. In the unique context of indigenous Māori and migrant Pacific children in postcolonial New Zealand, Julie Spray explores the intertwining issues of epidemic disease, malnutrition, stress, violence, self-harm, and death to address the problem of how scholars and policy-makers alike can recognize and respond to children as social actors in their health. The Children in Child Health innovatively combines perspectives from childhood studies, medical anthropology, and public health and policy together with evocative ethnography to show how a deep understanding of children’s worlds can change our approach to their care. Trade Review“This is a beautifully written book that sheds light on children’s understandings of public health messages and practices. It is enlivened by the words of children, at times quirky and at other times heartrending, and by Dr Spray’s critical analysis which situates the children’s experiences within peer ecologies and the landscape of health and social inequities of Aotearoa, New Zealand.” -- Karen Witten * co-editor of Children's Health and Wellbeing in Urban Environments *“At last, a book about child health that puts children at the center: as actors, as co-producers and most importantly as human beings.

Rutgers University Press Growing Old in a New China: Transitions in Elder
Book SynopsisGrowing Old in a New China: Transitions in Elder Care is an accessible exploration of changing care arrangements in China. Combining anthropological theory, ethnographic vignettes, and cultural and social history, it sheds light on the growing movement from home-based to institutional elder care in urban China. The book examines how tensions between old and new ideas, desires, and social structures are reshaping the experience of caring and being cared for. Weaving together discussions of family ethics, care work, bioethics, aging, and quality of life, this book puts older adults at the center of the story. It explores changing relationships between elders and themselves, their family members, caregivers, society, and the state, and the attempts made within and across these relational webs to find balance and harmony. The book invites readers to ponder the deep implications of how and why we care and the ways end-of-life care arrangements complicate both living and dying for many elders. Trade Review"Rose Keimig's Growing Old in a New China is the first real ethnography of institutionalized eldercare in China, and also a fine description of old age and of eldercare between family members in China today.

Rutgers University Press Aging Nationally in Contemporary Poland: Memory,
Book SynopsisActive aging programs that encourage older adults to practice health- promoting behaviors are proliferating worldwide. In Poland, the meanings and ideals of these programs have become caught up in the sociocultural and political-economic changes that have occurred during the lifetimes of the oldest generations—most visibly, the transition from socialism to capitalism. Yet practices of active aging resonate with older forms of activity in late life in ways that exceed these narratives of progress. Moreover, some older Poles come to live valued, meaningful lives in old age despite the threats to respect and dignity posed by illness and debility. Through intimate portrayals of a wide range of experiences of aging in Poland, Jessica C. Robbins shows that everyday practices of remembering and relatedness shape how older Poles come to be seen by themselves and by others as living worthy, valued lives. Trade Review“In this nuanced and beautifully written account of aging in contemporary Poland, Jessica Robbins illuminates with sensitivity and care the interconnections of remembrance, relatedness, and moral personhood. Experiences and moral imaginaries are shown to be shaped through everyday practices of relatedness, and we learn how deeply embedded national myths are in personal memories and biographies. This book will be taken up across the social sciences by those concerned with processes of kinship, nationalism, old age, and memory.” -- Janet Carsten * co-editor of Reason and Passion: The Parallel Worlds of Ethnography and Biography *“A must-read for rich insights into the creation of moral personhood through social relations among older Poles in caregiving spaces. An exploration of the connections between person and nation in historical and contemporary Poland, interweaving subjective, institutional, and infrastructural levels of care, attentive to both personal narratives and political-economic contexts. Robbins’s analysis has broader implications for studies of the life cycle, as well as age-related policies.” -- Susan Rasmussen * author of Persons of Courage and Renown *"Institute of Gerontology researcher publishes book on aging in Poland" * Today@Wayne *"Skillfully conveys the difficult and complicated history of Poland over the last century as it relates to the memories of aging Poles. The rich and profound ethnographic interviews of Robbins with her participants enable the reader to envision the settings of the interviews vividly, and the strong connection with her subjects is obvious. Robbins’ theoretical engagement with modern aging research, particularly with ideas around active aging, memory, and moral personhood, offers new insight into these growing areas. Overall, this book is an outstanding example of multilayered scholarship in the field of anthropology of aging and gerontology." * Anthropology and Aging *"This well-organized, engaging book will be of interest to anthropologists and gerontologists who studying aging and identity.

Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Compassionate Activism: An Exploration of
Book SynopsisWhat is it to care for another human being? How do we show compassion for each other? Is ‘social care’ an activity only for paid professionals? This book sets out on a radical re-examination of the nature of social care, the way it is practised, and its purpose. Rather than being confined to a qualified cohort of designated carers, social care is an activity for all. It is the gateway to the humanization of both care-giver and care-receiver. Yet the process of humanization, in order to be effective, needs to encompass both the personal and political worlds. The resultant integral social care can be re-imagined as compassionate activism. The scope of the book ranges from the practical to the theoretical. It assesses the specific skills needed in providing social care; it examines social care theory and practice; and it extends its investigation as far as the dysfunctions in the current political and economic system. The book proposes a ‘dialogic practice’ as an effective method of achieving personal and social transformation, one which is available to professional practitioners and others alike. The value and process of dialogue affirms that our humanity is primarily characterized by care and compassion rather than individual self-interest.Trade Review«Garavan’s concepts of integral social care and compassionate activism merit considerable attention in sustainability circles. ‘Compassionate Activism’ offers us a fresh perspective on authentic and visionary social engagement in a time of growing systemic violence and oppression of both people and nature. I highly recommended Garavan’s work as reading for professional social care practitioners, undergraduate and graduate students, and anyone interested in the theory and practice of sustainability.» (Tina Lynn Evans, Journal of Sustainability Education 05/2013)Table of ContentsContents: Why Should We Care? – Carl Rogers: A Framework for Personal Liberation – The Challenges of Integral Social Care – The Characteristics of the Integral Social Carer – Paulo Freire: A Framework for Social and Political Liberation – The Human Person as a Social Entity – Towards Dialogic Practice – Compassionate Activism.

Book SynopsisThis book showcases some of the papers presented at the 9th Annual ESPAnet Conference «Sustainability and Transformation in European Social Policy», held in Valencia, Spain from the 8th to 10th of September 2011. The selected papers present a double perspective within social policy: the papers in Part 1 follow a classical approach whilst those in Part 2 focus on new approaches. Thus, the book begins with the classical idea of welfare, participation, pension systems, family policies and social models. It then presents new perspectives in the research on social policy, such as the intervention of parenting, social tourism, the prevention of cyber-bullying and the transformation of governance. Offering an indepth overview of past, current and future social policies, this volume provides a useful resource for researchers in sustainability studies.Table of ContentsContents: Józef Niżnik: The Idea of a Welfare State and the Future of EU Social Policy – Rachele Benedetti: Policy Integration, Local Governance and Citizenship: The Challenge of Participation in the New Welfare State – Caroline de la Porte/J.

Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Becoming Self-Advocates: People with intellectual
Book SynopsisPeople with intellectual disability cannot assume that they can speak up for and represent themselves. A host of socially constructed factors act as barriers to their becoming self-advocates. This book analyses the nature of these factors and investigates how the label ‘intellectual disability’ is understood and interpreted. It also analyses the power imbalance between people with intellectual disability and non-disabled people, an imbalance which leads to the perpetuation of dependence of the former on the latter. The book proposes self-advocacy as a way of providing an environment in which this power imbalance can be redressed, negative perceptions of the label ‘intellectual disability’ challenged, and independence and autonomy promoted. In this way, contexts can be created in which the voices of people with intellectual disability are heard and valued. Self-advocacy thus enables people with intellectual disability to become more active agents in their own lives with the necessary support.Table of ContentsContents: Labels and definitions – Self-advocacy - Histories and contexts – Living circumscribed lives – Constructing the label intellectual disability – Helping people lead independent lives – Principal forces in the lives of people with intellectual disability – Places in self-advocacy – Becoming self-advocates.

Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Women and Trade Unions in France: The Tobacco and
Book SynopsisBased on the thorough examination of French archival sources, this book examines in detail two industries in which women formed the majority of the workforce in France between 1890 and 1914. The choice of the tobacco and hat industries is particularly relevant in the sense that the tobacco industry, unlike the hat industry, was a state monopoly in which women were in the majority and held meaningful responsibilities in unions at a time when women were generally in the minority and under-represented in the labour movement. The main aim of this comparison is to assess and qualify differences between both industries in terms of workforce and work organisation, trade unions’ attitudes to women and women’s membership and participation in order to get a better understanding of the factors that could have had an impact on female workers’ attitude towards trade unions. By making women’s presence more visible, therefore more apprehensible, this book contributes to a better understanding of the way in which women perceived themselves, and were perceived, as workers, women, union members and militants in French trade union history prior to 1914.Table of ContentsContents: Women in industry – Trade unions’ attitudes to women – Women and trade unionism – Women on strike.

Verlag Peter Lang Rights and Riches: Exploring the Moral Discourse
Book SynopsisDevelopment aid has recently become an important part of international politics in general and Norwegian foreign policy in particular. This study explores the moral discourse of contemporary Norwegian development aid organisations and professional development workers.

Furthermore, the notions of professionalism and partnerships in development are addressed, as well as the role and life-style of the individual development worker.

Peter Lang AG Evaluation and Quality Development: Principles of
Book SynopsisThe topics of evaluation and quality management have, up until now, scarcely been linked to one another. This book contributes to the balancing of this deficit. It shows how the instrument of evaluation can be utilised, with a focus on quality development in non-profit organisations (NPO’s). It is assumed that the equality of services rendered by non-profit organisations is measured first and foremost against the achievement of the outcomes that were originally planned. The optimisation of impacts is thus placed at the heart of the evaluation model developed. To this end, a set of evaluation guidelines is compiled, and the methodology for its application presented. The impact-oriented evaluation model put forward here can, in principle, be applied in all fields of activity and during all programme phases. It can also be used for the creation of monitoring systems.Table of ContentsContents: Comparison of the concepts of quality management and evaluation – Elaboration of a theoretical impact-based conception of evaluation – Multidimensional assessment and quality model – Evaluation assessment criteria and quality criteria – Evaluation Methodology and Application - Evaluation guidelines - Application and assessment procedure - Evaluation methods - Social context of evaluation - Evaluation planning and implementation.

Peter Lang AG Developing a Viable Strategy of Solving the
Book SynopsisPoverty is a multi-dimensional concept which is complex in its origin as well as in its manifestations. Oppression and denial of Human Rights can contribute to poverty. However, this oppression and exploitation of the poor is not to be understood simplistically but as a systemic injustice rooted within the context of well organized socio-political and cultural structures of oppression. This study is a concerted effort to identify, articulate and highlight the existence, the causes and effects of poverty in Nigeria, particularly in Igboland, where Human Rights infringements have contributed to poverty. It also aims at alerting the respective governments to their administrative inadequacies that are contrary to social ethics and have given rise to poverty. It concludes by discussing viable strategies of alleviating poverty in Igboland.Trade Review«Fidelis presents in his work a very remarkable analysis of poverty and Human Rights. It is the integration of Amartya Sen’s and Martha Nussbaum’s Capabilities approach with the principle of solidarity as practiced in Igboland. Fidelis has made an important contribution to knowledge here which is invaluable to students of various fields of inquiry as well as more advanced scholars and professionals engaged in the fight against the abuses of Human Rights and mitigation of poverty.» (Dr. Uchenna Okeja, Department of Philosophy, Goethe University Frankfurt am Main)Table of ContentsContents: The description of poverty and Human Rights – Oppression and denial of Human Rights contributing to poverty – Oppression and exploitation of the poor as a systemic injustice rooted in socio-political and cultural structures – Weak government, political instability and corruption – Mismanagement of Nigeria’s resources – Colonization and capitalism in Nigeria breeding poverty – Ways of alleviating poverty – Capabilities approach with solidarity as viable strategy to poverty alleviation.

Peter Lang AG Aggression as a Challenge: Theory and research-
Book SynopsisWe live in a world of phenomena created by the human mind and by human experience, namely conflict, aggression, aggressiveness and violence. These phenomena are viewed as constructs of the mind, types of behaviour, particular experiences and emotional states, specific social interactions or even historical and political categories such as social movements, wars, angry social protests etc. The study explores the notions of aggression and violence and from an individual and a social perspective analyses their determinants in various environments in childhood, adolescence and adulthood. It is an attempt to join the global discussion on reaction conditions and key points that are connected with the risk of pathologization of the personality and its behaviour.Table of ContentsContents: Aggression – Possibilities and limitations for research on aggression – Readiness for aggression – Forms of aggression – Aggressive behavior in the developmental periods and in the main spheres of life – Cyberbullying – Borderline Personality Disorders.

Peeters Publishers The End of Postwar: Essays on the Work of Ian
Book SynopsisIn the autumn of 2015 the Dutch-English publicist Ian Buruma gave direction to the thinker’s programme `The End of Postwar’, organised by the Flemish Royal Academy. The programme was triggered by Buruma’s publication Year zero: a history of 1945, which focuses on the coming into being of a new global order in the aftermath of World War Two. The birth of a welfare state and the European unification process were its two most remarkable achievements. Both, however, have been under constant pressure since the beginning of the 21st century. Two workshops and a two-day symposium brought together thinkers from the scientific, cultural and political worlds in order to reflect on the central theme of `The end of postwar: which future for Europe?’. This collection of essays reflects the debates, which dealt with issues such as the re-invention of the welfare state, the breach of the postwar consensus, the durability of humanism and the role of a United Europe as an answer to history.

PM Press Three Way Fight
Book SynopsisWhat''s the relationship between combating the far right and working for systemic change? What does it mean when fascists intensify racial oppression and patriarchy but also call for the downfall of economic elites or even take up arms against the state? Three way fight politics confront these urgent questions squarely, arguing that the far right grows out of an oppressive capitalist order but is also in conflict with it in real ways, and that radicals need to combat both. The three way fight approach says we need sharper analysis of far-right movements so we can fight them more effectively, and we also need to track ongoing developments within the ruling class, including liberal or centrist efforts to co-opt antifascism as a tool of state repression and system legitimation. This book offers an introduction to three way fight politics, with more than thirty essays, position statements, and interviews from the Three Way Fight website and elsewhere, spanning from the antifascist struggle
