This book was released on 2009 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans un contexte de prégnance des problématiques liées à l’exclusion, nous analysons les processus d’institutionnalisation d’organisations d’économie sociale et solidaire qui ont une dimension clairement économique, à travers une activité continue de production de biens et services, et qui poursuivent explicitement un objectif de création d’emplois pour des personnes défavorisées. Nous stabilisons le concept d’encastrement, demeuré fortement polysémique dans la littérature et rarement opérationnalisé, en étudiant l’encastrement politique des organisations d’économie sociale et solidaire, c’est-à-dire l’inscription de ces organisations dans l’espace public et au sein des politiques publiques, selon une relation d’influence réciproque. C’est donc à travers une hypothèse de co-construction du champ que nous examinons les processus d’institutionnalisation de ces organisations. Nous étudions le double mouvement selon lequel, d’une part, ces organisations parviennent à s’inscrire dans le débat public, à se constituer en tant qu’acteur politique et à mener au développement de politiques publiques. D’autre part, l’inscription spécifique de ces organisations dans l’espace public et dans le paysage des politiques publiques peut influencer en retour les pratiques organisationnelles développées, entendues dans un sens pluriel. Nous inscrivons en effet la recherche au sein des travaux de l’économie plurielle, fondés sur une conception substantive de l’économie telle que mise en avant par Polanyi. Pour tester la valeur heuristique du concept d’encastrement politique proposé dans la thèse, nous l’opérationnalisons dans deux terrains différents, un terrain Nord et un terrain Sud, où varient les formes d’action publique des organisations d’économie sociale et solidaire ainsi que les formes d’action publique de l’Etat. Il s’agit, d’une part, des entreprises sociales d’insertion par le travail en Région wallonne de Belgique et, d’autre part, des coopératives populaires de l’Etat de Rio de Janeiro au Brésil. Au-delà des conclusions propres à chaque étude de cas, cela nous permet de formuler des conclusions transversales relatives à la manière dont les organisations d’économie sociale et solidaire combinent une dimension économique – de production de biens et services –, une dimension sociale – de service à la collectivité.

Book excerpt: "L’imbrication des crises et des guerres, les faux-semblants du développement et la poussée des inégalités témoignent de l’illusion d’une société démocratique fondée sur les artifices d’une croissance « inclusive » et du « libre » échange. Des résistances et des critiques mettent à nu et dénoncent – plus que jamais – un modèle inique et insoutenable. Ce faisant, elles se nourrissent, en creux, d’une soif utopique et d’une volonté de construire un autre monde de possibles. Au Sud, de nombreuses pistes pour un changement de paradigme ont émergé ces dernières années. Elles se cristallisent autour de concepts clés comme le buen vivír, l’économie solidaire, le féminisme décolonial ou les biens communs. Que recouvrent ces conceptions ? Et comment se déclinent-elles selon les lieux et les acteurs ? Au-delà des spécificités, des lignes communes se dessinent. Les luttes sont appréhendées de manière plurielle, en fonction de leur nécessaire interconnexion, et non plus à partir de l’alignement sur la classe révolutionnaire. La transformation est pensée de pair avec la transition, pour ne pas reporter les changements et pour souligner le potentiel créatif de pratiques actuelles. La recherche d’une harmonie – entre les personnes, avec la nature – est aux premières loges. Reste que les contours de ces dynamiques font débat et que la question, centrale, du pouvoir continue de diviser. Loin donc d’avoir disparu, la volonté de « changer le monde » demeure. Elle emprunte plusieurs chemins et réinvente ses moyens d’action, mais la révolution est toujours à l’ordre du jour."--Site web de l'éditeur.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Replete with case studies, Waking the Asian Pacific Cooperative Potential applies a novel theoretical framework to aid in understanding meaningful change in cooperative firms, mutual firms, collectives, and communes, focusing in particular on the underexamined Asia Pacific region. It explores the common, albeit competing, objectives of transformational cooperatives that deliver a range of social benefits and corporative coops where the cooperative exhibits the characteristics of a competitive investor firm. The book provides examples of successful cooperatives in eleven countries across the Asia Pacific and reviews the theoretical framework of cooperatives, including issues pertaining to socio-economic, politico-legal, and domestic and international factors. Waking the Asian Pacific Co-operative Potential provides early-career researchers and graduate students with a systematic resource of cooperatives in the Asia Pacific, highlighting core lessons from case studies regarding the ideal role of cooperatives in a modern economy and on the enabling factors of the role of the state, the market potential for scale-up, the mitigation of poverty, and civil society. Provides numerous case studies drawn from successful co-operative organizations across the Asia Pacific region Advances a theoretical framework to help readers access and understand the reasons for co-operative success in the Asia Pacific region Develops tools for practitioners to establish effective co-operatives and restructure them to optimal goals

This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÔThe challenges of poverty and social exclusion cannot be fully resolved through conventional public sector policies and market-led innovation. The case studies in this Handbook capture some of the key success factors of socially innovative action in different socio-economic contexts. This Handbook will inspire readers as it highlights the creativity and commitment of diverse enterprises and movements working for social innovation.Õ Ð Anna Kajumulo Tibaijuka, Minister for Lands, Housing and Human Settlements, United Republic of Tanzania, and retired UN Under Secretary General, immediate former Executive Director of UN-HABITAT ÔSocial innovation may not be a new idea but it is clearly an idea whose time has come, not least because the traditional models of innovation Ð narrowly framed technical models Ð have run their course and no longer resonate in a world of societal challenges. This Handbook has two great merits Ð it brings conceptual rigour to the debate and it provides compelling narratives of social innovation in practice.Õ Ð Kevin Morgan, Cardiff University, UK ÔIn an era where social innovation is re-emerging as an important policy framework for bringing social transformation, this volume is a significant contribution to the theory and practice of social innovation. The incremental discussion from concepts to theory to practice and then to social innovation research is supported by cases literally from all over the globe. It moves the discourse from isolated models of neighbourhood engagements and social enterprises, to a comprehensive, multidimensional approach combining needs, social relations and empowerment. A must read for academicians, learners, practitioners and policy makers alike.Õ Ð S. Parasuraman, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, India ÔSocial innovation is an important instrument for understanding how contemporary societies deal with social change and how social practices and policies intended to combat poverty and social exclusion are developed and implemented effectively. The Handbook offers a valuable contribution to the development of a clear, transdisciplinary and critical understanding of social innovation practices. The reader will find an in-depth discussion of the most important theoretical approaches to the concept and a thorough exposition of the epistemological and methodological framework for research in social innovation. The volume includes a number of interesting case studies in different areas of social change and issues of policy and governance.Õ Ð Enzo Mingione, University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy This enriching Handbook covers many aspects of the scientific and socio-political debates on social innovation today. The contributors provide an overview of theoretical perspectives, methodologies and instructive experiences from all continents, as well as implications for collective action and policy. They argue strongly for social innovation as a key to human development. The Handbook defines social innovation as innovation in social relations within both micro and macro spheres, with the purpose of satisfying unmet or new human needs across different layers of society. It connects social innovation to empowerment dynamics, thus giving a political character to social movements and bottom-up governance initiatives. Together these should lay the foundations for a fairer, more democratic society for all. This interdisciplinary work, written by scholars collaborating to develop a joint methodological perspective toward social innovation agency and processes, will be invaluable for students and researchers in social science and humanities. It will also appeal to policy makers, policy analysts, lobbyists and activists seeking to give inspiration and leadership from a social innovation perspective.

Download or read book Root cause Regulation written by Michael J. Piore and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does the United States assign responsibility for different aspects of labor and employment law (e.g., wages and hours, safety and health, collective bargaining, discrimination, etc.) to different agencies, when France, Spain, and their former colonies assign all aspects of labor and employment law to a single agency? Does the US approach, which essentially reduces to "one inspector per law," perform better or worse than the "Latin" model, which implies "one inspector per firm?" And what are the implications for the division of labor in the public sector more generally? Root-Cause Regulation addresses these questions by comparing the evolution of labor market regulation in developed and developing countries over the course of the past century. The results speak not only to the protection of work and workers in the twenty-first century but to the organization of the public sector more generally.--

Download or read book Health Policy in a Globalising World written by Kelley Lee and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2002-08-08 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing recognition of the impact that globalisation may be having on public health has led to widespread concern about the risks arising from emerging and re-emerging diseases, environmental degradation and demographic change. This book argues that health policy making is being affected by globalisation and that these effects are, in turn, contributing to the kind of global health issues being faced today. The book explores how the actors, context, processes and content of health policy are changing as a result of globalisation, raising concerns about growing differences in who can influence health policy, what priorities are set, what interventions are deemed appropriate and ultimately who enjoys good and bad health. Bringing together a distinguished, international group of contributors, this book covers a comprehensive range of topics and geographic regions and will be invaluable for all those interested in health, social and public policy and globalisation.
