The importance of scientific investigation and research is becoming
more pronounced in today's society, with many organizations relying
on this research to make informed decisions. As such, research
methodology courses have been integrated into undergraduate and
master's programs at most academic institutions where students are
being challenged to conduct and write research. Social Research
Methodology and New Techniques in Analysis, Interpretation, and
Writing is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research
on the main concepts of research writing, including the guidelines
of research methodology and proposal designing. While highlighting
topics such as mixed method research, research objectives, and
project proposals, this publication provides examples of eight PhD
proposals and the frameworks used in organizing qualitative,
quantitative, and mixed method research. This book is ideally
designed for graduate-level students, academicians, researchers,
educators, scholars, education administrators, and policymakers
seeking current research on the key steps and techniques used in
organizing social research proposals.
This pivot examines non-governmental organization (NGO)
interventions in two community development initiatives, namely
social capital and community empowerment, and their role in funding
and formulating development frameworks in developing countries like
Bangladesh. It considers the key development discourse issues of
collective action, social trust and access to knowledge, to
political processes and to financial, social and natural resources.
Given the large proportion of foreign funding, NGOs and donors also
increasingly face the twin challenges of demonstrating both
efficient and effective delivery of services and accountability in
their relationships with various stakeholders. Reflecting on the
relevance of NGOs for community development, and the merits,
challenges and limitations of NGO activities, this book provides a
comprehensive study of NGO participation in community development
in Bangladesh and Third World countries more widely to highlight a
global concern with international implications.
The COVID-19 pandemic affected a wide range of global sectors, but
one of the most important is education. The transition from
classroom to computer screen was a difficult one for many Asian
students, parents, and teachers. Since this transition, global
education systems now mostly depend on online technology. It is
crucial that the impact of the pandemic on education is not only
examined from a Western point of view, but also from Eastern
perspectives. The Handbook of Research on Asian Perspectives of the
Educational Impact of COVID-19 provides the current issues the
education sector is facing in the aftermath of the COVID-19
pandemic. This book investigates the issues and challenges the
education sector is facing as well as the future directions needed
to provide education in a more effective way. Covering topics such
as academic perspectives, university-level employees, and
leadership challenges, this book is a dynamic resource for
students, teachers, pre-service teachers, school administrators,
education providers, faculty, researchers, policymakers, and
academicians.

Despite increasing disaster risk in South Asian countries, exposure
and vulnerability to natural hazards are not yet at the forefront
of development agendas. Covering disaster scenarios, and the causes
and consequences of disaster displacement, Disaster, Displacement
and Resilient Livelihoods: Perspectives from South Asia provides a
much-needed focus on the South Asian context, generating new
insights and considering the policy implications of strategies for
building resilient livelihoods. Recognising the diversity of South
Asian countries in terms of culture, environment, livelihood
patterns and socioeconomic and political structures, chapters
consider risk landscape and resilience capacity in Afghanistan,
Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Bringing critical
attention to an emerging topic, Disaster, Displacement and
Resilient Livelihoods: Perspectives from South Asia breaks fresh
ground by considering resilient livelihoods in terms of capacity,
resources and policy within each country’s diverse local context.
Delving into communities’ capacities to prevent displacement,
their ability to mitigate protection risks during displacement and
their options in terms of durable solutions, contributors offer a
resilience building framework that incorporates common principles
while also retaining a flexibility and adaptability for specific
risk environments. Capturing the diverse context of the South Asian
resilient livelihood framework, Disaster, Displacement and
Resilient Livelihoods: Perspectives from South Asia addresses a
crucial gap for an interdisciplinary audience interested in urban
and political sociology, social and cultural anthropology and
disaster, development and South Asian studies.
