Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A l'heure où ils cherchent à renforcer leurs systèmes de santé, les pays se tournent de plus en plus vers les soins de santé primaires (SSP) pour trouver une orientation nouvelle et plus claire. Le Rapport sur la santé dans le monde 2008 analyse la façon dont les soins de santé primaires, fondés sur les principes d'accès universel, d'équité et de justice sociale, constituent une réponse essentielle aux défis sanitaires d'un monde en évolution rapide et aux attentes croissantes des pays et de leurs citoyens en matière de santé et de soins. Le Rapport identifie quatre séries indissociables de réformes des SSP qui visent à: assurer l'accès universel et la protection sociale afin d'améliorer l'équité en matière de santé; réorganiser la prestation des services en fonction des besoins et des attentes de la population; rendre les collectivités plus saines grâce à de meilleures politiques publiques; et remodeler le leadership pour la santé autour de gouvernements plus efficaces et de la participation active des principaux acteurs. Parallèlement, la nature des problèmes sanitaires change de manière spectaculaire. L'urbanisation, la mondialisation et d'autres facteurs accélèrent la transmission des maladies contagieuses à travers la planète et alourdissent la charge des maladies chroniques et non transmissibles. Le changement climatique et l'insécurité alimentaire auront des répercussions importantes sur la santé ces prochaines années, créant des obstacles énormes à la mise en oeuvre de mesures efficaces et équitables. Dans ces conditions, les services de santé ne peuvent plus continuer comme si de rien n'était. Nombre d'entre eux semblent dériver d'une priorité à court terme à l'autre, d'une manière de plus en plus fragmentée et sans savoir très bien où ils vont. Heureusement, le contexte international actuel est favorable à un renouveau des SSP. La santé mondiale fait l'objet d'une attention sans précédent. On observe un intérêt croissant pour l'unité d'action et de plus en plus de voix plaident en faveur de soins universels et complets, ainsi que pour que la santé soit présente dans toutes les politiques. Les attentes n'ont jamais été aussi fortes. En tirant parti de cette dynamique, investir dans les soins de santé primaires peut permettre de transformer les systèmes de santé et d'améliorer partout la santé des individus, de leurs familles et de la collectivité dans son ensemble. Pour tous ceux qui s'intéressent aux progrès que peut faire la santé au 21e siècle, la lecture du Rapport sur la santé dans le monde 2008 est donc incontournable.

Book excerpt: First Published in 1974. In this collection Colin Bell and Howard Newby have reaped a rich harvest from the sociological field of community studies. The selection from the work in that field presented here should satisfy readers of many different tastes and interests. Specialists in the sociology of community studies will find the authors' brief, informative and succinct survey of the field and the introductory summaries to each chapter as useful for their own teaching and research as the comprehensive selection of articles itself. All those concerned with the welfare of people, whether social workers and nurses or magistrates and local authorities, will find here information about the community aspects of peoples' lives which all too often still fails to find a place in their professional training.

Download or read book Poverty Knowledge written by Alice O'Connor and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-10 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progressive-era "poverty warriors" cast poverty in America as a problem of unemployment, low wages, labor exploitation, and political disfranchisement. In the 1990s, policy specialists made "dependency" the issue and crafted incentives to get people off welfare. Poverty Knowledge gives the first comprehensive historical account of the thinking behind these very different views of "the poverty problem," in a century-spanning inquiry into the politics, institutions, ideologies, and social science that shaped poverty research and policy. Alice O'Connor chronicles a transformation in the study of poverty, from a reform-minded inquiry into the political economy of industrial capitalism to a detached, highly technical analysis of the demographic and behavioral characteristics of the poor. Along the way, she uncovers the origins of several controversial concepts, including the "culture of poverty" and the "underclass." She shows how such notions emerged not only from trends within the social sciences, but from the central preoccupations of twentieth-century American liberalism: economic growth, the Cold War against communism, the changing fortunes of the welfare state, and the enduring racial divide. The book details important changes in the politics and organization as well as the substance of poverty knowledge. Tracing the genesis of a still-thriving poverty research industry from its roots in the War on Poverty, it demonstrates how research agendas were subsequently influenced by an emerging obsession with welfare reform. Over the course of the twentieth century, O'Connor shows, the study of poverty became more about altering individual behavior and less about addressing structural inequality. The consequences of this steady narrowing of focus came to the fore in the 1990s, when the nation's leading poverty experts helped to end "welfare as we know it." O'Connor shows just how far they had traveled from their field's original aims.

Download or read book Community Chest written by and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voluntary contributions by private citizens and corporations in amounts ranging from a few coins to millions of dollars are a major factor in the maintenance of the American way of life. It is difficult to imagine the consequences if this source of support for the work of religious bodies, health and welfare agencies, and educational and research institutions were materially reduced. This case study, focused on Indianapolis, examines a critical mass fund-raising and giving program. Community chests in many communities evolved into the present-day United Way. In design, scope, and detail this study was without precedent when it was initially published in the 1950s. But "Community Chest "is more than an examination of local problems of fund raising. It also makes a decisive contribution to knowledge of philanthropic practice that is of general relevance to the social sciences. The book asks and seeks answers to the most ticklish issues of philanthropic fund raising: What may agencies expect in contributions from different social segments? How does one begin to estimate the need for philanthropic dollars in a given community? How can the public guard the interests of both ultimate recipients of assistance and donors? In short, what elements are crucial to success or failure in financing voluntary agencies, not merely in terms of money but with full regard for the needs and potentials of citizens and the community as a whole? Sociologists, welfare personnel, and professionals involved in financial development will find in this book an extraordinarv amount of material, both factual and interpretive, suggesting new approaches to the perplexing problems of community fund raising. A new introduction prepared by Carl Milofsky is a fascinating study of the tensions involved in the selection of the senior author, John R. Seeley, and of the critical response to this controversial study. This new material itself uniquely contributes to the sociology of knowledge.

Download or read book The Boundaries of Jewishness in the Southern Levant 200 BCE–132 CE written by John van Maaren and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-05-23 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research has considered how changing imperial contexts influence conceptions of Jewishness among ruling elites (esp. Eckhardt, Ethnos und Herrschaft, 2013). This study integrates other, often marginal, conceptions with elite perspectives. It uses the ethnic boundary making model, an empirically based sociological model, to link macro-level characteristics of the social field with individual agency in ethnic construction. It uses a wide range of written sources as evidence for constructions of Jewishness and relates these to a local-specific understanding of demographic and institutional characteristics, informed by material culture. The result is a diachronic study of how institutional changes under Seleucid, Hasmonean, and Early Roman rule influenced the ways that members of the ruling elite, retainer class, and marginalized groups presented their preferred visions of Jewishness. These sometimes-competing visions advance different strategies to maintain, rework, or blur the boundaries between Jews and others. The study provides the next step toward a thick description of Jewishness in antiquity by introducing needed systematization for relating written sources from different social strata with their contexts.

Download or read book Social Change and Politics written by Morris Janowitz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 920 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic study deals with social control in advanced industrial society, especially the United States, and particularly the half-century after World War I. The United States is representative of Western advanced industrial nations that have been faced with marked strain in their political institutions. These nation-states have been experiencing a decline in popular confidence and distrust of the political process, an absence of decisive legislative majorities, and an increased inability to govern effectively, that is, to balance and to contain competing interest group demands and resolve political conflicts.Janowitz uses the sociological idea of social control to explore the sources of these political dilemmas. Social control does not imply coercion or the repression of the individual by societal institutions. Social control is, rather, the face of coercive control. It refers to the capacity of a social group, including a whole society, to regulate itself. Self-regulation implies a set of higher moral principles beyond those of self-interest.Since the end of World War II, the expanded scope of empirical research has profoundly transformed the sociological discipline. The repeated efforts to achieve a theoretical reformulation have left a positive residue, but there have been no new conceptual breakthroughs that are compelling. This book is a concerted and detailed effort organize and to make sense out of the vastly increased body of empirical research.

Download or read book A New Dictionary of the Social Sciences written by G. Mitchell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed especially to meet the needs of beginners in all the social sciences, "A New Dictionary of the Social Sciences" follows its highly successful distinguished predecessor initially issued as "A Dictionary of Sociology" first published in 1968. Many of the entries have been revised and updated to keep abreast of the proliferation in the vocabulary of the social sciences. The volume remains on excellent single source for definitions in social research. The entries include social psychological terms, terms in social and cultural anthropology, terms common to political science, social administration and social work. In the choice of words, a generous definition of social science was employed, making the dictionary a very useful reference source for all beginners in the social sciences. Some terms are explained quite briefly while others are given lengthy treatment, according to the further assumptions that some sociological terms can imply. Thus, long entries are given on words, such as authority, consensus, phenomenology, role, social stratification, structuralism, whereas short and succinct entries suffice for words such, as agnate, eidos, or mores. A number of short biographical sketches are also included. The contributors are all scholars working in universities, predominantly in the United Kingdom and the United States. More than a glossary, "A New Dictionary of the Social Sciences" helps the student understand some of the theoretical considerations underlying the use of sociological terms, as well as something of their history, and therefore resembles an encyclopaedia in its scope and depth of information.
