Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Handbook of Children and Young People’s Participation brings together key thinkers and practitioners from diverse contexts across the globe to provide an authoritative overview of contemporary theory and practice around children’s participation. Promoting the participation of children and young people - in decision-making and policy development, and as active contributors to everyday family and community life - has become a central part of policy and programme initiatives in both majority and minority worlds. This book presents the most useful recent work in children’s participation as a resource for academics, students and practitioners in childhood studies, children’s rights and welfare, child and family social work, youth and community work, governance, aid and development programmes. The book introduces key concepts and debates, and presents a rich collection of accounts of the diverse ways in which children’s participation is understood and enacted around the world, interspersed with reflective commentaries from adults and young people. It concludes with a number of substantial theoretical contributions that aim to take forward our understanding of children’s participation. The emphasis throughout the text is on learning from the complexity of children’s participation in practice to improve our theoretical understanding, and on using those theoretical insights to challenge practice, with the aim of realising children’s rights and citizenship more fully.

This book was released on 2003-08-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how media have brought about or paced dramatic political events in Southeast Asia over the last two decades. It highlights a situation where media dynamics are no longer a simple formula of state control versus media resistance. The state can propel its own media-liberalizing programme; civil society can be an enemy of press freedom; market forces and cultural mindsets are sometimes more potent agents of change than state-appointed media custodians. Practitioners, scholars and activists have come together in this volume to provide a diversity of narratives on subjects as varied as powerful politicians and marginalized transsexuals.

Download or read book Communication and Community in the New Media Age written by Wang Bin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-05-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the relationship between information communication and community development in China in the new media age, drawing on theoretical resources from journalism, communication, urban sociology, community management, and the activities of social movements. Contrasting existing scholarship that centers on new technologies and virtual aspects of today’s communication, the study highlights community residents’ daily praxis in real social spaces and the interaction between online and offline communications. Through content analysis, case studies, questionnaire surveys, and in-depth interviews, the author explores the social engagement of communication in public expressions and negotiations among Chinese urban communities. From micro, meso, and macro levels respectively, three interactive mechanisms are discussed: (1) media use and social consciousness and mobilization; (2) new media and changes in community governance; and (3) state-community interplay. Based on these mechanisms, the author proposes the idea of “the construction of grassroots social communication”, exploring approaches to the modernization of social governance and attainment of social interests by optimizing information communication. Communication and Community in the New Media Age will appeal to academics and students studying communication and social transition in China, new media and society, urban sociology, and public governance.
Download or read book Social participation for universal health coverage technical paper written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The technical paper distils key messages from the World Health Organization publication “Voice, agency, empowerment – handbook on social participation for universal health coverage”, along with feedback from a multistakeholder consultation process to identify priority actions for Member States to institutionalize social participation in decision-making processes for health. Social participation is defined as empowering people, communities and civil society, through inclusive participation in decision-making processes that affect health, across the policy cycle and at all levels of the system. It is core to primary health care and promotes equitable progress towards universal health coverage, producing more responsive health policies and programmes, and helping to foster population trust with the health system. While Member States have endorsed the principle of social participation, translation into practice has been inadequate. The following priority actions are identified: (a) Strengthen government capacities to design and implement social participation (b) Secure equitable, diverse and inclusive representation (c) Ensure that social participation informs decision-making for health across the policy cycle (d) Systematize and sustain regular social participation, including through legal frameworks (e) Invest adequate, stable and predictable financial resources for social participation (f) Facilitate capacity strengthening and financial resources for civil society (g) Monitor and use data and evidence routinely to evaluate participatory processes and their impact on decisions made.

Download or read book Towards an Institutional Theory of Community and Community Associations written by Carl Milofsky and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-08-26 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article argues the position that the symbolic sense of community is a product of action by associations and larger community-based organizations. It draws on a theory from urban sociology called “the community of limited liability.” In the past this theory, first articulated by Morris Janowitz, has mostly been used to argue that residents living in a local neighborhood feel a sense of identification with that area to the extent that the symbolism of that neighborhood has been developed. This article extends Janowitz’s theory to apply to local associations and their efforts to create activities, movements, and products that encourage residents to expand their sense of symbolic attachment to a place. We argue that this organizational method has long been used by local associations but it has not been recognized as an organizational theory. Because associations have used this approach over time, communities have a historical legacy of organizing and symbol creating efforts by many local associations. Over time they have competed, collaborated, and together developed a collective vision of place. They also have created a local interorganizational field and this field of interacting associations and organizations is dense with what we call associational social capital. Not all communities have this history of associational activity and associational social capital. Where it does exist, the field becomes an institutionalized feature of the community. This is what we mean by an institutional theory of community.

Download or read book Community Journalism written by Jock Lauterer and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2009-11-20 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter how ambitious they may be, most novice journalists don't get their start at the New York Times. They get their first jobs at smaller local community newspapers that require a different style of reporting than the detached, impersonal approach expected of major international publications. As the primary textbook and sourcebook for the teaching and practice of local journalism and newspaper publishing in the United States, Community Journalism addresses the issues a small-town newspaper writer or publisher is likely to face. Jock Lauterer covers topics ranging from why community journalism is important and distinctive; to hints for reporting and writing with a "community spin"; to design, production, photojournalism, and staff management. This third edition introduces new chapters on adjusting to changing demographics in the community and "best practices" for community papers. Updated with fresh examples throughout and considering the newest technologies in editing and photography, this edition of Community Journalism provides the very latest of what every person working at a small newspaper needs to know.

Download or read book Understanding Citizen Journalism as Civic Participation written by Seungahn Nah and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Citizen Journalism as Civic Participation re-conceptualizes citizen journalism in the context of Habermas’s theory of the public sphere and communicative action, to examine how citizen journalism practice as civic participation may contribute to a heathier community and democracy in the civil society context. Citizen journalism has garnered growing attention owing to the participation of ordinary citizens in the performance of news production. Drawing on the authors’ decade-long collaboration on citizen journalism scholarship, this book posits a theoretical framework that relies on diverse communication perspectives to understand citizen journalism practice and its democratic consequences. This book will be of great relevance to scholars, researchers, professionals and policy makers working in the field of journalism and media studies, culture studies, and communication studies.
