Social Justice and Development (Hardcover, First): Behrooz Morvaridi Social Justice and Development (Hardcover, First)
Behrooz Morvaridi
R1,513 Discovery Miles 15 130 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Development and social justice are intrinsically linked. The articulation of social justice is constrained by political forces, and governance which perpetuates inequality. Poverty and inequality are quintessentially issues of social justice, not only within the nation state but between nation states. Morvaridi extends the theory of social justice to a global level, providing a new contribution to the development debate. Morvaridi analyzes radical changes within the institutions of Global Governance - IMF, The World Bank, WTO. This book examines the emergence of a rights-based approach to development as a means to addressing social injustice, poverty and inequality and considers the extent to which it has been able to influence development thinking.

New Philanthropy and Social Justice - Debating the Conceptual and Policy Discourse (Hardcover): Behrooz Morvaridi New Philanthropy and Social Justice - Debating the Conceptual and Policy Discourse (Hardcover)
Behrooz Morvaridi
R2,293 Discovery Miles 22 930 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

There is a broad consensus that traditional philanthropy has the potential to be transformative and address inequalities and injustices, as well as provide relief to the poor. Over the last two decades individual capitalists and private corporations have become increasingly involved in philanthropy, often through foundations targeted at helping to reduce social problems associated with poverty, disease and food insecurity. This important book questions the political and ideological reasons behind rich individuals and large companies choosing to engage in poverty reduction through philanthropy. The question of concern is not whether new philanthropy is good or bad, but what motivates this form of giving and whether the sources of new philanthropy funding are legitimate. The book argues that this new philanthropy risks being a sticking plaster without long-term results, because it fails to tackle social injustice or the structural reasons for inequality. It will be of value to academics, upper-level undergraduates and postgraduates in politics, sociology, economics and development studies.

Behrooz Morvaridi
R1,521 Discovery Miles 15 210 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Explores why articulating social justice in both development discourse and practice provides the potential for a fresh understanding of global poverty, and one that rises above the current 'impasse'. Suggests how principles of global social justice could be used to shift the development paradigm away from a consensus that hinges on Washington.
