Book Synopsis State in Society by : Joel S. Migdal
Download or read book State in Society written by Joel S. Migdal and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-08-27 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this book trace the development of Joel Migdal's "state-in-society" approach. The essays situate the approach within the classic literature in political science, sociology, and related disciplines but present a new model for understanding state-society relations. It allies parts of the state and groups in society against other such coalitions, determines how societies and states create and maintain distinct ways of structuring day-to-day life, the nature of the rules that govern people's behavior, whom they benefit and whom they disadvantage, which sorts of elements unite people and which divide them, and what shared meaning people hold about their relations with others and their place in the world.

Book Synopsis State Devolution in America by : Lynn A. Staeheli
Download or read book State Devolution in America written by Lynn A. Staeheli and published by SAGE Publications, Incorporated. This book was released on 1997-08-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to this volume analyze the impetus, nature and impact of state devolution in the United States. While debates over such changes typically centre on economic, political, and social change, the contributors shift the debate to an examination of the complex geographical implications of devolution. In a society territorially fragmented and diverse as exists in the US, changes in the form and function of government are experienced differently in different parts of the country. This volume details the outcomes of restructuring and explores how the redistribution of resources and responsibilities affects the lives of all Americans.

Book Synopsis Restructuring the Chinese City by : Laurence J.C. Ma
Download or read book Restructuring the Chinese City written by Laurence J.C. Ma and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sea of change has occurred in China since the 1978 economic reforms. Bringing together the work of leading scholars specializing in urban China, this book examines what has happened to the Chinese city undergoing multiple transformations during the reform era, with an emphasis on new processes of urban formation and the consequent reconstituted urban spaces. With arguments against the convergence thesis that sees cities everywhere becoming more Western in form and suggestions that the Chinese city is best seen as a multiplex city, Restructuring the Chinese City is an indispensable text for Chinese specialists, urban scholars and advanced students in urban geography, urban planning and China studies.
Download or read book Gendered Paradoxes written by Amy Lind and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1980s Ecuador has experienced a series of events unparalleled in its history. Its “free market” strategies exacerbated the debt crisis, and in response new forms of social movement organizing arose among the country’s poor, including women’s groups. Gendered Paradoxes focuses on women’s participation in the political and economic restructuring process of the past twenty-five years, showing how in their daily struggle for survival Ecuadorian women have both reinforced and embraced the neoliberal model yet also challenged its exclusionary nature. Drawing on her extensive ethnographic fieldwork and employing an approach combining political economy and cultural politics, Amy Lind charts the growth of several strands of women’s activism and identifies how they have helped redefine, often in contradictory ways, the real and imagined boundaries of neoliberal development discourse and practice. In her analysis of this ambivalent and “unfinished” cultural project of modernity in the Andes, she examines state policies and their effects on women of various social sectors; women’s community development initiatives and responses to the debt crisis; and the roles played by feminist “issue networks” in reshaping national and international policy agendas in Ecuador and in developing a transnationally influenced, locally based feminist movement.

Book Synopsis Health Care Restructuring by : Lois Morton
Download or read book Health Care Restructuring written by Lois Morton and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competitive health care markets are unable to produce the health status goals Americans have set for themselves. Market-driven health care replaces health status goals with profitability goals. Competitive markets can only respond to the biomedical model of health care services. They can't alter structural characteristics of poverty, disease, and injury that are the root sources of health care costs and health status outcomes. Civic community, a variation of civil society, offers a third way (as opposed to markets and government command systems) of restructuring health care by addressing the root causes of the current system's shortcomings. When given space to act, civic community is able to set new rules and guidelines that mediate and redirect excessive competitive markets and an intrusive government. Civic community is a conscious undertaking by individuals within and across multiple organizations to, through dialogue and actions, shape the function of society, in this case, the restructuring of the health care function. In civic community, organizations set aside self-interest to achieve a common interest: allocation of scarce resources for the public good. Dr. Morton, an assistant professor of sociology, examines large-scale processes and regionalized response to changing health care environments. Empirical findings, case studies, and archival documents support her contention that the civic community model can provide governments with a road map for setting regulations, monitoring, and enforcing practices relating to baseline health care, and provider and insurer behaviors. When the automatic behavior of health care markets is directed and channeled by civic community, there is emerging evidence that preferred health outcomes at affordable prices are possible.

Book Synopsis Restructuring and Managing the Enterprise in Transition by : Roy L. Crum
Download or read book Restructuring and Managing the Enterprise in Transition written by Roy L. Crum and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wide gap still exists between Western concepts and their application in the ex-socialist countries during transition. Most Western models in financial management make assumptions about the efficiency and stability of markets and the signals that can be obtained and also assume that traditional accounting information is available and can be used for management purposes. A new paradigm is needed to manage the finance function in a transition economy experiencing hyperinflation since stamdard assumptions are not valid in most ex-socialist countries. This book describes the adaptations of financial techniques as it reviews standard financial concepts and tools, adjusts them when necessary to the unique conditions in the ex-socialist enterprises, and then presents the restructuring context and some strategies that are based on the application of these tools.
