The Politics of Development in Morocco
Author: Sylvia I. BerghPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1786721163
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
Since the mid-1990s, Morocco has sought to present itself as a model of genuine and gradual reform, with decentralisation as a key tenet of this. Here, Sylvia Bergh investigates the dynamics of popular participation and local governance, testing the extent to which the current structure builds local capacity, or whether it is, in fact, a tool for 'soft' state control. She narrates the realities of local administration and civil society to shed critical light on questions of democratic transition in North Africa. Her assessment of decentralisation and participatory development projects in rural Morocco, and the legal and policy frameworks in which they operate, leads to the conclusion that they have generally not yet led to an expansion of a civil society able to build local capacity or enhance bottom-up empowerment. Grounded in an approach of the 'anthropology of policy', this book makes an important contribution to literature on the democratisation, development and governance in North Africa.

Author: Pello HuesaPublisher: Editions L'Harmattan
ISBN: 2296420559
Category : Architecture
Languages : fr
Pages : 306
Book Description
Cet ouvrage, en trois volumes, traite de la redynamisation économique des zones urbaines en déclin. Ce sont le plus souvent des organisations privées à but non lucratif qui développent des activités en direction des zones défavorisées, en cherchant à combiner des financements publics et privés. Ce deuxième volume est consacré à l'analyse détaillée des Sociétés de Développement Communautaire : leur nature, leur évolution, leurs activités et leur système de soutien. Une attention particulière est accordée au déficit de services financiers dans les communautés pauvres des États-Unis et au rôle de la philanthropie.
Social Innovation, the Social Economy and World Economic Development
Author: Denis HarrissonPublisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9783631585627
Category : Economic development
Languages : en
Pages : 488
Book Description
The world of work and labour is in a permanent transformation affecting the various social groups in the different parts of the world quite unequally. Social innovations, related to the idea of economic progress and well-being, tackle the problems of employment leading to social exclusion and poverty as a consequence of the extreme positioning in favour of economic performance. An alternative economy complements the deficiency of both the market and the State. This volume presents contributions from scholars coming from different continents, about Social Economy, Labour Rights, corporate Social Responsibility, Social Regulations and Public Policies. Social innovations have huge impacts on national and regional economies as their sources come from the citizen. Many initiatives presented in this volume are a social response by civil society to poverty, precarious employment, job losses, long term unemployment, delocalisation and de-industrialisation.
Understanding the Social Economy
Author: Jack QuarterPublisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1487511051
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 421
Book Description
Suitable for courses addressing community economic development, non-profit organizations, co-operatives and the social economy more broadly, the second edition of Understanding the Social Economy expands on the authors’ ground-breaking examination of organizations founded on a social mission – social enterprises, non-profits, co-operatives, credit unions, and community development organizations. While the role of the private and public sectors are very much in the public light, the social economy is often taken for granted. However, try to imagine a society without the many forms of organizations that form the social economy: social service organizations, arts and recreation organizations, ethno-cultural associations, social clubs, self-help groups, universities and colleges, hospitals and other healthcare providers, foundations, housing co-operatives, or credit unions. Not only do these organizations provide valuable services, but they employ many people, and purchase goods and services. They are both social and economic entities. Understanding the Social Economy illustrates how organizations in the social economy interact with the other sectors of the economy and highlights the important social infrastructure that these organizations create. The second edition contains six new case studies as well three new chapters addressing leadership and strategic management, and human resources management. A much-needed work on an important but neglected facet of organizational studies, Understanding the Social Economy continues to be an invaluable resource for the classroom and for participants working in the social sector.
