This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La legitimidad de las organizaciones no gubernamentales como actores de desarrollo está puesta en tela de juicio desde hace ya un par de décadas, con abundante literatura escrita. Su comportamiento se encuentra sustentado, por un lado, bajo la atenta mirada de los teóricos del desarrollo como expertos en este tipo de organizaciones; y por otro, bajo la perspectiva cruzada de la sociología de las organizaciones, desde el enfoque del nuevo institucionalismo y desde el enfoque de las organizaciones basadas en el aprendizaje. La presente investigación identifica la dinámica de la legitimidad como una necesidad prioritaria de las organizaciones, a través de la cual se estructura toda organización. Existe una gran preocupación para que el entorno acepte y considere legítimas las aspiraciones y objetivos de la organización, clave para que ésta pueda continuar sobreviviendo en el entorno. Se ha analizado la legitimidad de las organizaciones desde la perspectiva de la rendición de cuentas, la representatividad y el rendimiento, como elementos prioritarios de esa legitimidad. Pero también, y partiendo de la fundamentación de los teóricos del institucionalismo sociológico, basada en la importancia del entorno como legitimador de las organizaciones existentes, esta tesis aporta una nueva mirada al comportamiento de las ONG de desarrollo en su lucha por la supervivencia. Las ONGD elaboran sus discursos y planifican su comportamiento en función de las legitimidades que obtienen de sus principales entornos, que se ubican en la sociedad del Norte. En dicha búsqueda por la supervivencia, el Estado, a través de las Administraciones Públicas, se convierte en su principal órgano legitimador. La sociedad del Sur, es decir, organizaciones socias, entidades locales, comunidades y personas implicadas en los proyectos desarrollados en el Sur, al ubicarse en un entorno lejano, no aportan legitimidad a las organizaciones del Norte. Por lo que se concluye que las ONGD no introducen herramientas de gestión apropiadas para conocer el rendimiento, logros e impacto de sus actuaciones en el Sur, porque no les aporta legitimidad. Además, las ONGD han desarrollado una cultura y un sistema de valores que les hace ser distintivas del resto de organizaciones, pero que continuamente está retando a unas estructuras organizativas, cada vez más orientadas a la búsqueda y prestación de servicios. Ello les está llevando a crear modelos de gestión mixtos, con herramientas procedentes de la organización empresarial, pero adaptados a esta cultura propia y a un entorno más controlador y exigente con sus gastos en estructura, generando un modelo de gestión que bien podría denominarse post fordista, de gestión más responsable, horizontal, dotado de profesionales altamente cualificados, y orientado a la autosostenibilidad de la organización.

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of cultural parks has been steadily increasing in recent years throughout the world. But what is a cultural park? This book provides a detailed answer to this question and sets out the basis for an academic debate that moves beyond the technical narratives that have prevailed to date. It is important to open up the topic to academic scrutiny given that cultural parks are becoming widespread devices being employed by different institutions and social groups to manage and enhance cultural and natural heritage assets and landscapes. The main problem in dealing with this topic is the predominant lack of theory-grounded, critical reflection in the literature about cultural parks. These remain largely conceived as technical instruments deployed by institutions in order to solve an array of problems they must deal with. As cultural parks are generally regarded as positive and constructive tools whose performance is associated with the preservation of heritage, the overcoming of the nature/culture divide, the reinforcing of identity and memory and the strengthening of social cohesion and economic development, this book critically explores these issues through the analysis of the literature on cultural parks. In addition, it provides a novel theoretical conceptualization of cultural parks that is connected with, and underpins, a tentative methodology developed for their empirical analysis.

Download or read book The Paradox of Social Order written by and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on strengthening the foundations of the social sciences with hypotheses that challenge commonly held rational choice theories drawn from economics. In contrast to the rational choice theories of Becker, Hayek, Popper, and others, Moessinger argues that the stability of social structures ultimately results from a linkage of non-rational individual conduct (interpersonal imbalances, confusion of minds, etc.) with social order and hence, that a larger role for psychology is essential for the study of the social sciences. This work is an attempt at cross-fertilization of disciplines. Both of these fields are now limited, fragmented, and scattered. In the social sciences we often have to be content with a few pieces (hypotheses, theories) of a provisional construction, pieces that will be quickly modified or replaced. In this precarious situation for the social sciences, what we can do better, what we must try to do better, is to differentiate and generalize our hypotheses and integrate them into the best-established network of knowledge in order to ensure that they continue to develop. In other words, we have to articulate and systematize the social sciences, in particular to reunite sociology and psychology. Social order emerges from non-rational individual behavior (which social order, in turn, upholds). To express it positively, social order and individual non-rationality together make up a whole. The author holds that metaphors such as "machine" or "organism" are no longer adequate. Social order can no longer be conceived in terms of a dualistic framework. Social order is not some magical equilibrium that is justified by the satisfactions it produces--to all, to the most capable, or only to those in power, depending upon the justification. Nor can social order be considered either the product of either an invisible hand or of an omnipresent secretary who balances everyone's account. This work is an effort to move beyond the polarities and dualities that limit the theory and research of social science as a whole. Pierre Moessinger is professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Geneva, Switzerland and the Department of Psychology at the University of Fribourg. He has published in English-language journals in several fields and is the editor of New Ideas in Psychology.
Download or read book The Orange Economy written by Inter American Development Bank and published by Inter-American Development Bank. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual has been designed and written with the purpose of introducing key concepts and areas of debate around the "creative economy", a valuable development opportunity that Latin America, the Caribbean and the world at large cannot afford to miss. The creative economy, which we call the "Orange Economy" in this book (you'll see why), encompasses the immense wealth of talent, intellectual property, interconnectedness, and, of course, cultural heritage of the Latin American and Caribbean region (and indeed, every region). At the end of this manual, you will have the knowledge base necessary to understand and explain what the Orange Economy is and why it is so important. You will also acquire the analytical tools needed to take better advantage of opportunities across the arts, heritage, media, and creative services.
