Conflicting Objectives in Democracy Promotion Do All Good Things Go Together?

Conflicting Objectives in Democracy Promotion Do All Good Things Go Together?

The agenda of external actors often includes a number of objectives that do not necessarily and automatically go together. Fostering security and stability in semi-authoritarian regimes collides with policies aimed at the support of processes of democratization prone to conflict and destabilization. Meanwhile the promotion of national self-determination and political empowerment might lead to forms of democracy partially incompatible with liberal understandings. These conflicting objectives are often problematized as challenges to the effectiveness of international democracy promotion. This book presents systematic research about their emergence and effects. The contributing authors investigate (post-) conflict societies developing countries and authoritarian regimes in Southeast Europe Latin America Africa and Asia. They identify the socio-economic and political conditions in the recipient country the interaction between international and local actors and the capacity of international and local actors as relevant for explaining the emergence of conflicting objectives. And they empirically show that faced with conflicting objectives donors either use a ‘wait and see’-approach (i. e. not to act to overcome such conflicts) they prioritize security state-building and development over democracy or they compromise democracy promotion with other goals. However convincing strategies for dealing with such conflicts still need to be devised. This book was published as a special issue of Democratization. | Conflicting Objectives in Democracy Promotion Do All Good Things Go Together?

Day Services for Adults Somewhere to Go

Day Services for Adults Somewhere to Go

Originally published in 1981 this book describes day services for adults a relatively recent development in health and social services at the time. Most people assume immediately that day care is only provided for young children: Day Services for Adults will make it clear that a growing number of services exist by day for adults and in a diversity and variety which have enormous potential both for those who use them and for those who work in them. Day Services for Adults reports the results of a five-year national survey. The broad terms of reference of the research were to review the present provision of day centres for adults. To consider the policy questions of staffing and accommodation and to suggest which groups in the community might benefit most from day centres and to advise on how these centres might contribute to the integration and development of local services for those in need. The result was the first comprehensive investigation of day services in the world. Jan Carter analyses services for the elderly the mentally handicapped the mentally ill the physically handicapped offenders drug addicts and those in family care centres sponsored by health social services probation and voluntary agencies. By a full coverage of all these groups and their sponsors unique comparisons between services for the various groups can be made. Day Services for Adults was intended for those who made decisions about day units and particularly for local authority policy-makers and executive civil servants in local authority health authorities and central government. It was also addressed to those senior professionals practising inside and outside day services: psychiatrists geriatricians those practising rehabilitation medicine senior nursing officers psychologists senior social workers and social work administrators. | Day Services for Adults Somewhere to Go

Human Evolution Economic Progress and Evolutionary Failure

Human Evolution Economic Progress and Evolutionary Failure

This monograph is an innovative endeavour in many ways. First it brings to the fore the synergy between human evolution and economic and social progress. Second it acknowledges the critical contributions from the routine adherence to contextual truth and contextual non-violence of humanity at large. Finally it argues that the world is sliding towards evolutionary failure by not moving further forward in the adherence to the two core human values. For all those interested in development in a holistic sense the book will inspire thinking and debate. Human evolution will go on – one way or the other – with or without adherence to truth and non-violence. The book stresses the time is now to go for the best and eschew the worst. | Human Evolution Economic Progress and Evolutionary Failure

Zero Tolerance or Community Tolerance? Managing Crime in High Crime Areas

Zero Tolerance or Community Tolerance? Managing Crime in High Crime Areas

First published in 1999 this volume presents arguments which compare two inner-city wards of Salford and look to introduce such a subtlety to the understanding of the management of crime in high crime communities and derive from a longitudinal research study which took place over a two and a half year period. Between 1994 and 1996 researchers based at the University of Salford and the University of Keele embarked on research into two similarly structured neighbourhoods within the city of Salford in the North of England. This research set out to situate an understanding of the risk from and fear of crime in a comparative urban context – to uncover how people who live work and go to school in designated ‘high-crime’ areas manage their routine daily lives and construct their own responses to ‘risk of’ and ‘fear of’ crime. The authors go on to highlight the similarities between these wards and other wards with which they have a clear resonance across Britain. | Zero Tolerance or Community Tolerance?

Safety-II in Practice Developing the Resilience Potentials

Safety-II in Practice Developing the Resilience Potentials

Safety-I is defined as the freedom from unacceptable harm. The purpose of traditional safety management is therefore to find ways to ensure this ‘freedom’. But as socio-technical systems steadily have become larger and less tractable this has become harder to do. Resilience engineering pointed out from the very beginning that resilient performance - an organisation’s ability to function as required under expected and unexpected conditions alike – required more than the prevention of incidents and accidents. This developed into a new interpretation of safety (Safety-II) and consequently a new form of safety management. Safety-II changes safety management from protective safety and a focus on how things can go wrong to productive safety and a focus on how things can and do go well. For Safety-II the aim is not just the elimination of hazards and the prevention of failures and malfunctions but also how best to develop an organisation’s potentials for resilient performance – the way it responds monitors learns and anticipates. That requires models and methods that go beyond the Safety-I toolbox. This book introduces a comprehensive approach for the management of Safety-II called the Resilience Assessment Grid (RAG). It explains the principles of the RAG and how it can be used to develop the resilience potentials. The RAG provides four sets of diagnostic and formative questions that can be tailored to any organisation. The questions are based on the principles of resilience engineering and backed by practical experience from several domains. Safety-II in Practice is for both the safety professional and academic reader. For the professional it presents a workable method (RAG) for the management of Safety-II with a proven track record. For academic and student readers the book is a concise and practical presentation of resilience engineering. | Safety-II in Practice Developing the Resilience Potentials

Luck Egalitarianism Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen and His Critics

Luck Egalitarianism Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen and His Critics

This edited volume offers a critical discussion of luck egalitarianism – one of the most prominent views in contemporary political philosophy – through an exploration of the theory of one of its leading proponents Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen. When (if ever) can inequalities in how well peoples’ lives go be justified? Luck egalitarianism provides an appealing answer: inequalities are just if and only if they are the result of the exercise of individual responsibility. Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen lucidly defends and specifies this view in his own book Luck Egalitarianism. The authors in this volume offer a critical discussion of the key features of his view. They discuss disagreements within views which assign an important role to responsibility. They go on to push the limits of luck egalitarianism: what about inequalities between us and the dead? And inequalities between groups? Finally they criticize some of the central tenets of luck egalitarianism including its tendency to avoid action-guiding judgements and its focus on distributions rather than interpersonal relations. This book was originally published as a special issue of Critical Review of International Social and Political Philosophy. | Luck Egalitarianism Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen and His Critics
