Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Localism provides a roadmap for change that starts in the communities where most people live and work. In their new book, The New Localism, urban experts Bruce Katz and Jeremy Nowak reveal where the real power to create change lies and how it can be used to address our most serious social, economic, and environmental challenges. Power is shifting in the world: downward from national governments and states to cities and metropolitan communities; horizontally from the public sector to networks of public, private and civic actors; and globally along circuits of capital, trade, and innovation. This new locus of power—this new localism—is emerging by necessity to solve the grand challenges characteristic of modern societies: economic competitiveness, social inclusion and opportunity; a renewed public life; the challenge of diversity; and the imperative of environmental sustainability. Where rising populism on the right and the left exploits the grievances of those left behind in the global economy, new localism has developed as a mechanism to address them head on. New localism is not a replacement for the vital roles federal governments play; it is the ideal complement to an effective federal government, and, currently, an urgently needed remedy for national dysfunction. In The New Localism, Katz and Nowak tell the stories of the cities that are on the vanguard of problem solving. Pittsburgh is catalyzing inclusive growth by inventing and deploying new industries and technologies. Indianapolis is governing its city and metropolis through a network of public, private and civic leaders. Copenhagen is using publicly owned assets like their waterfront to spur large scale redevelopment and finance infrastructure from land sales. Out of these stories emerge new norms of growth, governance, and finance and a path toward a more prosperous, sustainable, and inclusive society. Katz and Nowak imagine a world in which urban institutions finance the future through smart investments in innovation, infrastructure and children and urban intermediaries take solutions created in one city and adapt and tailor them to other cities with speed and precision. As Katz and Nowak show us in The New Localism, “Power now belongs to the problem solvers.”

Download or read book Theorizing Cohesive Development written by Sunil Ray and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-05-07 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume proposes an alternative development paradigm to the existing capitalist extant one, and studies how it is distinctly different from the older system. Rooted in the principles of solidarity between humans, as well as between humans and nature, this alternative paradigm replaces the methodological individualism of capitalism by ‘reciprocal altruism’, a new logic of capital, to give pace and direction to the development process. The essays in this volume highlight instances of various forms of solidarity that have emerged in the contemporary world—such as resistance movements of informal workers, the formation of an autonomous cooperative of self-employed waste pickers in India, called SWaCH, and Brazil and Cuba’s experiments with Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE)—to achieve long sustaining cohesive development. They also provide recommendations as to how the State can mold its development process to the benefit of marginalized communities, especially in India and Bangladesh. Featuring insights from leading experts in the field, Theorizing Cohesive Development will be an indispensable read for students and researchers of development studies, economics, political economy, political science and sociology, minority studies and Asian studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first systematic study of policy analysis activities in Spain. It provides a comprehensive overview of how policy actors, including politicians, think tanks, researchers, interest groups and experts, generate information for the policy-making process. The book explores how executive and legislative actors participate in the production of policy analysis and how all actors elaborate and disseminate information on policy analysis. Contributors consider the ways different policy actors are involved in the production of data and information about policy problems, the resources used to produce policy analysis and the type of analysis produced over time in different policy areas.

Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Contemporary European Social Movements written by Cristina Flesher Fominaya and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-27 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European social movements have become increasingly visible in recent years, generating intense public debates. From anti-austerity and pro-democracy movements to right-wing nationalist movements, these movements expose core conflicts around European democracy, identity, politics and society. The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary European Social Movements offers a comprehensive interdisciplinary overview of the analysis of European social movements, helping to orient scholars and students navigating a rapidly evolving field while developing a new agenda for research in the area. The book is divided into eight sections: Visions of Europe; Contemporary models of democracy; Historical evolution of major European movements; Feminism and sexualities; Movement diffusion within and beyond Europe; Anti-austerity movements; Technopolitical and media movements; and Movements, parties and movement-parties. Key theories and empirical trajectories of core movements, their central issues, debates and impacts are covered, with a focus on how these have influenced and been influenced by their European context. Democracy, and how social movements understand it, renew it, or undermine it, forms a core thread that runs through the book. Written in a clear and direct style, the Handbook provides a key resource for students and scholars hoping to understand the key debates and innovations unfolding in the heart of European social movements and how these affect broader debates on such areas as democracy, human rights, the right to the city, feminism, neoliberalism, nationalism, migration and European values, identity and politics. Extensive references and sources will direct readers to areas of further study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta tesis mantiene que no podemos entender completamente el asociacionismo político de los ciudadanos a menos que fijemos nuestra mirada más allá de las características individuales; es decir, a menos que intentemos comprender qué efecto tiene sobre su comportamiento político el contexto político y social en el que los ciudadanos actúan. Los recursos y las características socioeconómicas proporcionan oportunidades para unirse a organizaciones políticas. Las actitudes y las orientaciones proveen (o, por el contrario, reducen) la motivación para unirse a un grupo con objetivos políticos. Sin embargo, estos rasgos individuales no son necesariamente factores de desigualdad en todas las sociedades ni tienen siempre las mismas consecuencias. El contexto social y político en el que los ciudadanos toman decisiones sobre su participación interactúa, de manera importante, con los rasgos individuales para activar o desactivar su impacto político. Además, el contexto social y político que rodea a los ciudadanos tiene también un impacto independiente sobre su comportamiento político. Las instituciones políticas y las pautas de movilización política condicionan de manera crucial el asociacionismo político. Estos dos conjuntos de factores -instituciones y movilización- estructuran las oportunidades de participación que en realidad tienen los ciudadanos. De hecho, algunos sistemas democráticos han desarrollado instituciones políticas que facilitan la pertenencia a grupos políticos. Así, mientras que en algunos países occidentales los ciudadanos son movilizados con mucha frecuencia a través de asociaciones políticas, en otros lo son en mucha menor medida. Esta tesis es, por lo tanto, un intento de incorporar de una manera sistemática la "política" y las "instituciones" en el análisis del comportamiento político. A lo largo de la misma se demuestra que las enormes diferencias entre los países occidentales en términos de la propensión de sus respectivos ciudadanos a organizarse políticamente, no pueden explicarse sólo por las distintas características socioeconómicas de los individuos. Sin duda, estos aspectos también contribuyen a que sean menos participativos, pero no nos ayudan gran cosa a explicar las variaciones que encontramos entre sociedades occidentales. Los resultados de esta investigación ponen de manifiesto la enorme importancia del contexto sociopolítico para explicar por qué los ciudadanos de algunas democracias occidentales participan en política a través de organizaciones y por qué no lo hacen los de otras sociedades similares. Determinadas estructuras de oportunidades políticas favorecen la participación de los ciudadanos de manera muyimportante. Así, sistemas políticos más abiertos a la influencia de las organizaciones políticas, gracias a la existencia de arreglos corporativistas de intermediación de intereses y al mayor pluralismo y fragmentación de la representación parlamentaria, contribuyen a que los ciudadanos encuentren mayores incentivos para participar en los asuntos públicos. Del mismo modo, el grado en que las propias organizaciones políticas actúan como agentes efectivos de movilización política influye en el comportamiento participativo de los ciudadanos. Allí donde las organizaciones políticas tienen una red organizativa y de infraestructuras más densas, los ciudadanos están más expuestos a los estímulos de reclutamiento político y, por tanto, participan más. Además, el contexto político no sólo estructura las oportunidades de participación de los ciudadanos, sino que también interactúa con las características de los propios ciudadanos, contribuyendo así a aumentar o disminuir las desigualdades participativas de los mismos. Las estructuras políticas más abiertas y accesibles disminuyen las barreras y los costes a la participación, de tal manera que los individuos con menores recursos socioeconómicos -por ejemplo, la educación- no se encuentran tan desfavorecidos en su capacidad de influir en el proceso de toma de decisiones. Por el contrario, las estructuras políticas más cerradas exacerban el efecto de las desigualdades sociales y las transforman en desigualdades políticas. De esta manera, el contexto político tiene un doble efecto sobre el asociacionismo político en las democracias occidentales. Por un lado, condiciona cuánta gente participa en los asuntos públicos a través de organizaciones políticas y, por otro, incide en quiénes son los que participan. Los sistemas políticos más abiertos extienden e igualan la participación organizada de los ciudadanos; los sistemas políticos más cerrados reducen la participación y la hacen más desigual socialmente.

Download or read book Crisis in the Eurozone Periphery written by Owen Parker and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-19 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the causes and consequences of crisis in four countries of the Eurozone periphery – Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland. The contributions to this volume are provided from country-specific experts, and are organised into two themed subsections: the first analyses the economic dynamics at play in relation to each state, whilst the second considers their respective political situations. The work debates what made these states particularly susceptible to crisis, the response to the crisis and its resultant effects, as well as the manifestation of resistance to austerity. In doing so, Parker and Tsarouhas consider the implications of continued fragilities in the Eurozone both for these countries and for European integration more generally.
