Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voluntary and community organisations have moved to the centre of political debates, as the new UK government reduces the scope of the state and locates solutions in civil society.

It draws on contemporary social and organisational theory and debates to consider whether surviving in the voluntary sector now depends on realigning activities and compromising independent goals and values.
Download or read book Policy Initiatives Towards the Third Sector in International Perspective written by Benjamin Gidron and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-12-03 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, the third sector has had tremendous growth worldwide in both size and importance. As many countries struggle to address this changing reality, many have adopted policy initiatives aimed at changing the ways the third sector is addressed. It is a complex process, involving different fields of practice, different levels of government, and different types of third sector organizations. The contributions to this timely volume detail the process as carried out in eight diverse countries: US UK, Canada, Hungary, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Japan, all of whom have recently enacted policy initiatives towards the third sector. The studies are comprehensive: from reviewing the current policy, enacting new laws, supervisory mechanisms, and modes of funding. Featuring a postscript from Helmut Anheier (UCLA School of Public Policy, Los Angeles, CA, USA and Hertie School of Governance, Berlin, Germany), the thorough analysis in this volume will provide a new understanding of the policy initiatives in the eight countries studied, as well as guiding principles for other countries that may implement such initiatives in the future. The resulting work will give researchers in sociology, social work, third sector research, and international economics a new framework for understanding the Third Sector: its role in society, and its relationships with government, the market, and the citizens of the country.

The impact of statutory developments and a wealth of new cases – including the Supreme Court and Privy Council decisions in Patel v. Mirza [2016] UKSC 42, PJS v. News Group Newspapers Ltd [2016] UKSC, Burnden Holdings v. Fielding [2018] UKSC 14, and Federal Republic of Brazil v. Durant [2015] UKPC 35 – are explored.

Download or read book Handbook on the Economics of Philanthropy Reciprocity and Social Enterprise written by Stefano Zamagni and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent era of economic turbulence has generated a growing enthusiasm for an increase in new and original economic insights based around the concepts of reciprocity and social enterprise. This stimulating and thought-provoking Handbook not only encourages and supports this growth, but also emphasises and expands upon new topics and issues within the economics discourse. Original contributions from key international experts acknowledge and illustrate that markets and firms can be civilizing forces when and if they are understood as expressions of cooperation and civil virtues. They provide an illuminating discourse on a wide range of topics including reciprocity, gifts and the civil economy, which are especially relevant in times of crisis for financial capitalism. The Handbook questions the current phase of the market economy that arises from a state of anthropological pessimism. Such anthropological cynicism is one of the foundations of the contemporary economic system that is challenged by the contributors. This highly original and interdisciplinary Handbook will provide a fascinating read for academics, researchers and students across a wide range of fields including economics, public sector economics, public policy and social policy.
Download or read book Waste strategy for England 2007 written by Great Britain: Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2007-05-24 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been estimated that if every country consumed natural resources at the rate of the UK, we would need three planets to live on. Given this scenario, reducing waste is a key aspect of sustainable development, breaking the link between economic growth and waste growth. This White Paper sets out the Government's policy for waste management in England, building on the progress made since the Waste Strategy 2000 (Cm. 4693-I, ISBN 9780101469326 and Cm. 4693-II, ISBN 9780101469333) was published in May 2000. The main elements of the new strategy are: i) to incentivise efforts to reduce, re-use and recycle waste and recover energy from waste, including increasing the landfill tax escalator and consulting on removing the ban on introducing local household charges to promote waste reduction and recycling; ii) to reform regulation to drive the reduction of waste and diversion from landfill while reducing costs to compliant businesses and the regulator, including introducing waste protocols, consulting on the introduction of further restrictions on the landfilling of biodegradable wastes or recyclable materials, and ensuring effective action on flytipping and on illegal dumping abroad; iii) to target action on materials, products and sectors with the greatest scope for improving environmental and economic outcomes, including promoting producer responsibility through setting packaging standards to reduce excess packaging; iv) stimulate investment in collection, recycling and recovery infrastructure, and markets for recovered materials to maximise their energy value; and v) to improve national, regional and local governance, with a clearer performance and institutional framework to deliver better co-ordinated action and services on the ground, including the establishment of a Defra-led Waste Strategy Board to provide leadership within and across government.

Download or read book Financialization as Welfare written by Philipp Golka and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing an in-depth case study on the emergence of social impact investing in the UK, this book develops a new perspective on financialization processes that highlights the roles of non-financial actors. In contrast to the common view that impact investing gears finance toward the solution of social problems, the author analyzes how these investments create new problems and inequalities. To explain how social impact investing became popular in British social policy despite its unclear effectiveness, the author focuses on cooperative relations between institutional entrepreneurs from finance and various non-financial actors. Drawing on field theory, he shows how seemingly unrelated social transformations – such as HM Treasury's expanding role in public service reform – may act as resonance spaces for the spread of finance. Opening up a new perspective on financialization processes in the terrain of public policy, this book invites readers to refocus scholarship on capitalist dynamics to the meso-level. Based on this analysis, the author also proposes ways to transform social impact investing to increase its potential for reducing global inequalities.
