Book Synopsis The Demographic Dividend by : David Bloom
Download or read book The Demographic Dividend written by David Bloom and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2003-02-13 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is long-standing debate on how population growth affects national economies. A new report from Population Matters examines the history of this debate and synthesizes current research on the topic. The authors, led by Harvard economist David Bloom, conclude that population age structure, more than size or growth per se, affects economic development, and that reducing high fertility can create opportunities for economic growth if the right kinds of educational, health, and labor-market policies are in place. The report also examines specific regions of the world and how their differing policy environments have affected the relationship between population change and economic development.
Book Synopsis Trabajo social by : Alfredo Hidalgo Lavié
Download or read book Trabajo social written by Alfredo Hidalgo Lavié and published by EDITORIAL SANZ Y TORRES S.L.. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este manual persigue como finalidad convertirse en el instrumento necesario para la formación de los trabajadores sociales en una perspectiva internacional. Como es habitual en nuestra Universidad (UNED) las asignaturas se apoyan en textos básicos que comprenden sus contenidos y por este propósito se ha realizado esta publicación, con el fin explícito de aunar los análisis de diferentes autores sobre el origen, desarrollo y evolución del Trabajo Social en sus respectivos países. Gracias a la colaboración del Consejo General de Trabajo Social de nuestro país y de la Federación Internacional de Trabajo Social de la región de Europa, Turquía e Israel hemos podido contar con autores de reconocida formación en nuestra disciplina para llevar a buen puerto este empeño. Varios son los Presidentes de las Asociaciones Nacionales que participan en esta obra en común. Todos ellos poseen una dilatada experiencia en el ejercicio profesional y algunos ejercen sus funciones hoy como docentes en la Universidad o en puestos de representación. La asignatura Trabajo Social en Perspectiva Comparada ofrece al estudiante una oportunidad para aproximarse a las realidades de la profesión de otros países. La evolución y desarrollo del Trabajo Social como profesión y como disciplina ha recorrido inevitablemente el mismo trayecto por el que la historia política de cada país ha atravesado, por tanto la historia, la economía, la sociedad, sus valores culturales y religiosos han marcado el destino de la profesión. Y estos mismos elementos que han contribuido a su identidad también presentan y dibujan en el horizonte sus principales desafíos y retos a los que tendrá que enfrentarse a lo largo de todo este siglo xxi. Es, por consiguiente, una gran ocasión para conocer a los pioneros de otros países, a los combates iniciales por el reconocimiento de la profesión, a la honda tradición desconocida de algunos de ellos, al nivel de desarrollo alcanzado en sus servicios sociales, en particular, y en el conjunto de sus políticas sociales a nivel estatal. Pero junto a este conocimiento y análisis, esta publicación ofrece al estudiante además introducirse en la apasionante polémica sobre el modelo de identidad que debe prevalecer en aras de garantizar su proyección de futuro. Trabajo Social posee un indiscutible origen como movimiento social, el de las reformadoras sociales, las cuales sentaron las bases de una organización social más justa y solidaria. Un camino que recorrieron en paralelo con la batalla por el espacio que consideraban propio como colectivo profesional, primero, y como disciplina después. Pero esta batalla última, lejos de haber finalizado, continúa nutriendo la cuestión ancestral sobre su propio ser como profesión. La identidad, siempre cuestionada, y siempre en el centro del debate, se ve afectada además hoy día por las consecuencias de una crisis económica y financiera de graves perversiones en el campo laboral. La figura del asistente social, como mero gestor de recursos y tareas puramente burocráticas, persiste en el consciente colectivo de gran parte de la sociedad, a pesar de los incuestionables avances realizados. A los trabajadores sociales les gusta que su actividad sea relacionada con determinados valores cuyo fundamento se encuentra en los derechos humanos. Muchas otras profesiones podrían también realizar esta misma afirmación. Sin embargo, no todas ellas atraviesan por el mismo circuito histórico sobre el cuestionamiento de su ser. Tal vez, porque la esencia de sus orígenes como movimiento social, su lucha reivindicativa, y a veces incluso política, sigue muy presente latiendo en cada profesional de la intervención. Quizá también esta actitud reivindicativa, al trascender ciertos parámetros ideológicos y políticos, contribuya a la desconfianza que suscita en el seno de las Ciencias Sociales. ¿Debe un profesional saltar a la escena política de la reivindicación? ¿Y este salto en cuál dirección ideológica debe hacerse sin asumir el riesgo de la politización de la propia actividad profesional? ¿Posee Trabajo Social una carga ideológica identificada que trasciende la defensa de los derechos reconocidos? Este es el debate al que se invita también al lector y al que los propios autores contribuyen con sus líneas. Recientemente, se han cumplido cien años de la publicación Diagnóstico Social de Mary Richmond, (1917). Todo un referente para ahondar en los contenidos de esta obra que tanto ha contribuido para sentar las bases del ejercicio de la profesión y desde la profesión misma. Toda una efeméride que invita traer del recuerdo esta cuestión central sobre las tendencias a propósito de la identidad.
Book Synopsis The Politics of the Internet in Third World Development by : Bert Hoffmann
Download or read book The Politics of the Internet in Third World Development written by Bert Hoffmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-10 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the political and developmental implications of the new information and communication technologies (NICT) in the Third World. Whereas the concept of the 'digital divide' tends to focus on technological and quantitative indicators, this work stresses the crucial role played by the political regime type, the pursued development model and the specific configuration of actors and decision-making dynamics. Two starkly contrasting Third World countries, state-socialist Cuba and the Latin America's ""show-case democracy"" Costa Rica, were chosen for two in-depth empirical country s.

Book Synopsis World Anthropologies by : Gustavo Lins Ribeiro
Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-12 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.
Download or read book I-Docs written by Judith Aston and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of documentary has been one of adaptation and change, as docu-mentarists have harnessed the affordances of emerging technology. In the last decade interactive documentaries (i-docs) have become established as a new field of practice within non-fiction storytelling. Their various incarnations are now a focus at leading film festivals (IDFA DocLab, Tribeca Storyscapes, Sheffield DocFest), major international awards have been won, and they are increasingly the subject of academic study. This anthology looks at the creative practices, purposes and ethics that lie behind these emergent forms. Expert contributions, case studies and interviews with major figures in the field address the production processes that lie behind interactive documentary, as well as the political, cultural and geographic contexts in which they are emerging and the media ecology that supports them. Taking a broad view of interactive documentary as any work which engages with 'the real' by employing digital interactive technology, this volume addresses a range of platforms and environments, from web-docs and virtual reality to mobile media and live performance. It thus explores the challenges that face interactive documentary practitioners and scholars, and proposes new ways of producing and engaging with interactive factual content.
Book Synopsis The Global Restructuring of Agro-Food Systems by : Philip D. McMichael
Download or read book The Global Restructuring of Agro-Food Systems written by Philip D. McMichael and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the world, food systems and agricultural systems are changing at a phenomenal rate. Widespread restructuring has not been confined to the production and distribution of food, though; many regions and even nations are undergoing social, political, and economic transformation as well. Bringing together twelve essays by scholars from a number of disciplines, I this timely book documents the interdependence of food systems, nation states, and the world economy. Stressing the political foundations of global agro-food systems, it sheds light on such complex questions as whether today's changes in food and agrarian systems anticipate a new world order, or are merely efforts to preserve an old order in crisis.

Book Synopsis Sources and Methods in Indigenous Studies by : Chris Andersen
Download or read book Sources and Methods in Indigenous Studies written by Chris Andersen and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sources and Methods in Indigenous Studies is a synthesis of changes and innovations in methodologies in Indigenous Studies, focusing on sources over a broad chronological and geographical range. Written by a group of highly respected Indigenous Studies scholars from across an array of disciplines, this collection offers insight into the methodological approaches contributors take to research, and how these methods have developed in recent years. The book has a two-part structure that looks, firstly, at the theoretical and disciplinary movement of Indigenous Studies within history, literature, anthropology, and the social sciences. Chapters in this section reveal that, while engaging with other disciplines, Indigenous Studies has forged its own intellectual path by borrowing and innovating from other fields. In part two, the book examines the many different areas with which sources for indigenous history have been engaged, including the importance of family, gender, feminism, and sexuality, as well as various elements of expressive culture such as material culture, literature, and museums. Together, the chapters offer readers an overview of the dynamic state of the field in Indigenous Studies. This book shines a spotlight on the ways in which scholarship is transforming Indigenous Studies in methodologically innovative and exciting ways, and will be essential reading for students and scholars in the field.

Book Synopsis Social Enterprise in Latin America by : Taylor & Francis Group
Download or read book Social Enterprise in Latin America written by Taylor & Francis Group and published by Routledge Studies in Social Enterprise & Social Innovation. This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the absence of a widely accepted and common definition of social enterprise (SE), a large research project, the International Comparative Social Enterprise Models (ICSEM) Project, was carried out over a five-year period; it involved more than 200 researchers from 55 countries and relied on bottom-up approaches to capture the SE phenomenon. This strategy made it possible to take into account and give legitimacy to locally embedded approaches, thus resulting in an analysis encompassing a wide diversity of social enterprises, while simultaneously allowing for the identification of major SE models to delineate the field on common grounds at the international level. These SE models reveal or confirm an overall trend towards new ways of sharing the responsibility for the common good in today's economies and societies. We tend to consider as good news the fact that social enterprises actually stem from all parts of the economy. Indeed, societies are facing many complex challenges at all levels, from the local to the global level. The diversity and internal variety of SE models are a sign of a broadly shared willingness to develop appropriate although sometimes embryonic--responses to these challenges, on the basis of innovative economic/business models driven by a social mission. In spite of their weaknesses, social enterprises may be seen as advocates for and vehicles of the general interest across the whole economy. Of course, the debate about privatisation, deregulation and globalised market competition--all factors that may hinder efforts in the search for the common good-has to be addressed as well. The second of a series of four ICSEM books, Social Enterprise in Latin America will serve as a key reference and resource for teachers, researchers, students, experts, policy makers, journalists and other categories of people who want to acquire a broad understanding of the phenomena of social enterprise and social entrepreneurship as they emerge and develop across the world.

Book Synopsis The Research System in Transition by : Susan E. Cozzens
Download or read book The Research System in Transition written by Susan E. Cozzens and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a mountainside in sunny Tuscany, in October 1989, 96 people from 23 countries on five continents gathered to learn and teach about the problems of managing contemporary science. The diversity of economic and political systems represented in the group was matched by our occupations, which stretched from science policy practitioners, through research scientists and engineers, through academic observers of science and science policy. It was this diversity, along with the opportunities for infonnal discussion provided by long meals and remote location, that made the conference a special learning experience. Except at lecture time, it was impossible to distinguish the "students" at this event from the "teachers," and even the most senior members of the teaching staff went away with a sense that they had learned more from this group than from many a standard conference on science policy they had attended. The flavor of the conference experience cannot be captured adequately in a proceedings volume, and so we have not tried to create a historical record in this book. Instead, we have attempted to illustrate the core problems the panicipants at the conference shared, discussed, and debated, using both lectures delivered by the fonnal teaching staff and summaries of panel discussions, which extended to other panicipants and therefore increased the range of experiences reponed.
