Download or read book Urban Outcasts written by Loïc Wacquant and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-26 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breaking with the exoticizing cast of public discourse and conventional research, Urban Outcasts takes the reader inside the black ghetto of Chicago and the deindustrializing banlieue of Paris to discover that urban marginality is not everywhere the same. Drawing on a wealth of original field, survey and historical data, Loïc Wacquant shows that the involution of America's urban core after the 1960s is due not to the emergence of an 'underclass', but to the joint withdrawal of market and state fostered by public policies of racial separation and urban abandonment. In European cities, by contrast, the spread of districts of 'exclusion' does not herald the formation of ghettos. It stems from the decomposition of working-class territories under the press of mass unemployment, the casualization of work and the ethnic mixing of populations hitherto segregated, spawning urban formations akin to 'anti-ghettos'. Comparing the US 'Black Belt' with the French 'Red Belt' demonstrates that state structures and policies play a decisive role in the articulation of class, race and place on both sides of the Atlantic. It also reveals the crystallization of a new regime of marginality fuelled by the fragmentation of wage labour, the retrenchment of the social state and the concentration of dispossessed categories in stigmatized areas bereft of a collective idiom of identity and claims-making. These defamed districts are not just the residual 'sinkholes' of a bygone economic era, but also the incubators of the precarious proletariat emerging under neoliberal capitalism. Urban Outcasts sheds new light on the explosive mix of mounting misery, stupendous affluence and festering street violence resurging in the big cities of the First World. By specifying the different causal paths and experiential forms assumed by relegation in the American and the French metropolis, this book offers indispensable tools for rethinking urban marginality and for reinvigorating the public debate over social inequality and citizenship at century's dawn.

Download or read book Human Rights Education Global Responsibilities written by James Lynch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1992. This is Volume 4 of a series of four on Cultural Diversity and the Schools and focusses on Human Rights, Education and Global Responsibilities. One of the major problems facing societies in almost all parts of the world is the inadequate accommodation of social equity with cultural diversity. The crisis emanating from neglect of this issue can be seen in societies as different and wide apart as the Soviet Union, India, Pakistan, the United States and the United Kingdom. This series seeks to contribute, through joint publication and the stimulation of greater discourse, to identify the pathways to a less selfish and parochial response to the continuing dilemma of equity and diversity, not solely within the nation state, but also internationally.

Download or read book Tackling Social Exclusion in Europe written by Roger Spear and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of an international study by leading economists and sociologists from across Europe and North America. The response of the new social economy (primarily voluntary and co-operative sectors) to social exclusion and employability in the context of crises of unemployment and the welfare state is of wide international concern. This book looks specifically at the growth of enterprises and initiatives whose primary aim is the integration of unemployed and disadvantaged people into work. A common framework has been used in each of the country studies, thus allowing an interesting international comparative perspective to be developed. There is considerable interest in how the third sector is changing internationally in response to rapidly changing work and welfare systems. By distilling international experience this book makes an important contribution to debates about new ways of addressing the central issues of unemployment and social exclusion of disadvantaged people in society.
Download or read book Communication et grands projets written by Valérie Lehmann and published by Puq. This book was released on 2013 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Communication et grands projets : un tel sujet est presque une gageure, car il engage deux mondes qui ne se rejoignent pas souvent, en tout cas pas aisément. Pourtant, cet ouvrage collectif n'est ni une coïncidence ni une provocation. Il vise à susciter la réflexion autour d'un sujet déterminant pour l'avenir des sociétés : la réalisation des grands projets de demain dans un contexte où citoyens, professionnels, scientifiques, promoteurs, pouvoirs publics et autres parties prenantes se révèlent... très prenants. De l'information à la participation, de la transmission à la relation, de la connaissance aux symboles et aux actes, ce sont tous les aspects de la communication qui sont ici abordés pour traiter de la gestion des grands projets urbains et d'exploitation des ressources naturelles. Ainsi, sont discutés dans ce livre des démarches de cocréation de projets, des méthodes participatives et des outils de partage du savoir. Il y est également question de la gouvernance des grands projets et de ses enjeux, ainsi que des rôles et responsabilités des différents acteurs qui y participent. Enfin, plusieurs chapitres s'intéressent à l'imaginaire des grands projets, aux sens qu'ils façonnent et aux passions qu'ils peuvent susciter. Réunissant les contributions de chercheurs et de praticiens québécois, français, britanniques et belges et faisant appel à des disciplines variées (communication, management, gestion de projet, sciences politiques, urbanisme, architecture, géologie et ingénierie), l'ouvrage remet en question les pratiques actuelles de communication et de gestion de projet. Pour mieux rendre compte des nouveaux défis à relever" --P. [4] de la couv.
Download or read book D veloppement in galit s pauvret s written by Nicola Maria Boccella and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2005 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tant au niveau des revenus que du développement économique, les inégalités n'ont pas diminué dans le monde, en ce début du troisième millénaire ; et cela malgré les interventions des gouvernements, des ONG et des bailleurs de fonds internationaux. On commettrait également une grave erreur de diagnostic si l'on considérait la pauvreté et l'exclusion sociale comme des caractéristiques réservées aux pays en développement. Les inégalités dans la répartition du revenu et dans l'accès aux droits existent également dans les pays les plus riches. Les essais regroupés dans cet ouvrage entendent procéder à une étude aussi exhaustive que possible des rapports entre développement économique, égalité et pauvreté. Cette analyse est conduite dans le cadre de trois grands domaines thématiques. Le premier présente le cadre théorique de référence relatif aux interconnexions entre développement économique et inégalités. Le deuxième est consacré à l'étude de la pauvreté et de l'exclusion sociale dans les régions et pays en développement (Sahel, Maroc, Burkina Faso, Nigeria). Enfin, le troisième thème porte sur l'analyse des inégalités et de la pauvreté dans les pays développés, en particulier dans les zones urbaines de Rome, Naples, Munich, Dublin, aux fins d'une analyse comparative. Dans l'essai introductif Growth and Inegality. Theoretical Issues and Empirical Evidence, sont examinées les interconnections entre croissance économique et inégalités. Les auteurs procèdent ainsi à une revue critique, aussi vaste que minutieuse, de la littérature en la matière. Ils démontrent que l'examen des inégalités ne saurait être limité à la répartition du revenu mais qu'il faut également l'étendre à bien d'autres facteurs pour identifier les dimensions réelles du bien-être et des inégalités.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1994 the School of Criminology, a part of the Department of Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure and Criminology in the Faculty of Law of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, celebrated the 25th anniversary of its study programme. To give added lustre to this landmark in its history, the Institute accepted the invitation from the International Society of Criminology to organise the 49th International Course of Criminology. The title of the course was: Changes in Society, Crime and Criminal Justice in Europe. A challenge for criminological education and research'. This course explored two themes, both of which are likely to be the focus of debate in criminal policy in the near future: crime and insecurity in the city, and international organised and corporate crime. The presentation and discussion of both themes followed two main approaches. Lectures and seminars focused on the analysis of the nature, the quantity and the development of the phenomena, and meetings were focused on the policy needed to gain control of these phenomena. Moreover, attention was paid to technical and ethical problems which show up at the moment that empirical research is carried out. This publication brings together the main part of the introductory lectures. Part one relates to the theme of crime and insecurity in the city; the second part contains the lectures on international organised and corporate crime. Together both parts present a good picture of what was explained and commented on during the Course, especially in relation to important European developments concerning crime, criminal justice and criminal policy. This book will become an important source of inspiration for both criminological educationand research.
