Hybrid Organizations and the Third Sector - Challenges for Practice, Theory and Policy (Hardcover): David Billis Hybrid Organizations and the Third Sector - Challenges for Practice, Theory and Policy (Hardcover)
David Billis
R4,580 Discovery Miles 45 800 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Welfare has traditionally been provided by 'public', 'voluntary' and 'private' sector organizations. But what do these terms mean within a contemporary welfare landscape where organizations possess characteristics of more than one of these sectors? Is this hybridity eroding the unique qualities of these different sectors?

Addressing a key social policy problem, this book analyses modern voluntary organizations through the lens of a new theory of hybrid organizations, which is tested and developed in the context of a range of case studies. This is essential reading for all interested in the future of the third sector, the rise of hybridity in the public sector and the study of organizations.

A. Mann
R2,599 R1,923 Discovery Miles 19 230 Save R676 (26%) Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Who should provide food, and through what relationships? Whose livelihoods should be protected? For over 20 years the peasant farmers of La Via Campesina have been engaged in the fight against injustice, hunger and poverty under the banner of food sovereignty, 'the right of peoples to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods, and their right to define their own food and agriculture systems'. They campaign for healthy, sustainable alternatives to an industrial food system controlled by agribusiness companies and the architects of unfair trade agreements. This book draws on grounded case studies of agrarian movements in the Americas and Europe as exemplars of a 'power shift,' as local opposition scales up to global action in an effort to wrest control of our food away from transnational corporations and back to communities.

The Predicament of Belief - Science, Philosophy, and Faith (Hardcover): Philip Clayton, Steven Knapp The Predicament of Belief - Science, Philosophy, and Faith (Hardcover)
Philip Clayton, Steven Knapp
R918 Discovery Miles 9 180 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Does it make sense - can it make sense - for someone who appreciates the explanatory power of modern science to continue believing in a traditional religious account of the ultimate nature and purpose of our universe? This book is intended for those who care about that question and are dissatisfied with the rigid dichotomies that dominate the contemporary debate. The extremists won't be interested - those who assume that science answers all the questions that matter, and those so certain of their religious faith that dialogue with science, philosophy, or other faith traditions seems unnecessary. But far more people today recognize that matters of faith are complex, that doubt is endemic to belief, and that dialogue is indispensable in our day.
In eight probing chapters, the authors of The Predicament of Belief consider the most urgent reasons for doubting that religious claims - in particular, those embedded in the Christian tradition - are likely to be true. They develop a version of Christian faith that preserves the tradition's core insights but also gauges the varying degrees of certainty with which those insights can still be affirmed. Along the way, they address such questions as the ultimate origin of the universe, the existence of innocent suffering, the challenge of religious plurality, and how to understand the extraordinary claim that an ancient teacher rose from the dead. They end with a discussion of what their conclusions imply about the present state and future structure of churches and other communities in which Christian affirmations are made.

Older Citizens and End-of-Life Care - Social Work Practice Strategies for Adults in Later Life (Hardcover): Malcolm Payne Older Citizens and End-of-Life Care - Social Work Practice Strategies for Adults in Later Life (Hardcover)
Malcolm Payne
R4,776 Discovery Miles 47 760 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Older people are, like younger people, citizens in the communities of the nations in which they live. This book sees ageing as a life journey that incorporates a process of citizening, in which people build their identity as part of their family and community. But the social experience of illness, frailty, disability and reaching the end of life may de-citizen older people by devaluing the social identity that comes from continuing social engagement. We de-citizen older people by emphasizing dependence on services and their cost to public expenditure instead of valuing the interdependence of participation and mutual respect. This book argues that older people retain full citizenship for the whole of their lives, up to the moment of death; but what does this mean for health and social care? In this groundbreaking book, Malcolm Payne argues that social work with older people must build re-citizening practice strategies to value both the common and the special aspects of the citizenship of older people. Current models of social care and social work create dependency, rather than relying on values of participative interdependence. The failure to recognize the end of life as a crucial element in all social care and social work for older people means that the lessons learned in providing palliative and end-of-life care in healthcare have not been transferred to social care, and the priorities of end-of-life care have not been adequately encompassed in social work with older people.

Whata (Tm)S Love Got to Do with It? (Paperback): David Wagner Whata (Tm)S Love Got to Do with It? (Paperback)
David Wagner
R626 Discovery Miles 6 260 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Now available in paperback, What's Love Got to Do with It? is an insightful debunking of the way charitable giving disguises American neglect of the public welfare. Award-winning Professor of Social Work and Sociology David Wagner points out that while the United States prides itself on being one of the most generous nations, it provides its citizens with the lowest public benefits of any Western society and has rates of poverty and inequality among the highest in the industrialized world. These two facts, Wagner argues, are not unrelated: independent philanthropy actually provides a cover for the harshness of America's free-market capitalism.

In a book that Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States, says "raises sobering questions for all of us who want to live in a just society", Wagner offers a provocative contribution to our thinking on philanthropy and social welfare.

First World, Third World (Hardcover, 2nd ed. 1999): W. Ryrie First World, Third World (Hardcover, 2nd ed. 1999)
W. Ryrie
R2,881 Discovery Miles 28 810 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This new updated and extended edition of First World, Third World examines the failures of aid to eliminate poverty. The world development effort can claim only limited success, and in some parts of the world, especially Africa, failure must be recognised. William Ryrie, while starting from a position of sympathy with the aims of the aid effort, insists that the record must be analysed with ruthless honesty. Well-intentioned aid has often had perverse and harmful effects. One of these has been to undermine the working of the market economy, which offers the best hope for development and growth. His book proposes a new approach to the development task which would reconcile it with market philosophies.

Group-Centered Prevention Programs for At-Risk Students (Hardcover, 2011 ed.): Elaine Clanton Harpine Group-Centered Prevention Programs for At-Risk Students (Hardcover, 2011 ed.)
Elaine Clanton Harpine
R2,969 Discovery Miles 29 690 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

School psychologists, counselors, and educators in the K-12 setting face the daunting responsibility of finding balance between mandated testing, students' mental-health concerns, and additional academic help for at-risk students. One solution to this dilemma is to implement a school-based mental health approach that combines learning and counseling needs into a single program. Several types of successful programs are available, though week-long intensive programs have recently increased in popularity. Group-Centered Prevention Programs for At-Risk Students focuses on the development of such a week-long prevention program, and provides professionals with step-by-step directions to create their own program. It also focuses on the use of group-centered interventions as an opportunity to prevent at-risk behaviors as a means of correcting or changing dysfunctional behavior. This highly readable volume addresses such challenging issues as: * Using self-reflection to teach writing skills. * Increasing interpersonal interaction while honing etiquette. * Enhancing group acceptance and reading comprehension. * Rebuilding self-efficacy by increasing word recognition and decoding skills. With its solid research foundation combined with clear, practical program descriptions, this volume is an essential addition to the libraries of researchers and practitioners alike in the disciplines of school psychology, education, social work, psychotherapy and counseling, and clinical child psychology.
