The Inclusive Society?: Social Exclusion and New Labour
ISBN: 9781403944276 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The idea of social exclusion is part of the new political language. When Labour came into government in 1997, it launched the Social Exclusion Unit to pursue this central theme. But what exactly does social inclusion mean? This revised and updated edition of The Inclusive Society? identifies three competing meanings of the term in contemporary British Politics, emphasising poverty, employment and morality. Ruth Levitas argues that there has been a shift away from understanding social exclusion as primarily a problem of poverty, towards questions of social integration through paid work and...

Social Cohesion in Europe and the Americas / Cohesión Social En Europa Y Las Américas: Power, Time and Space / Poder, Tiempo Y Espacio
ISBN: 9789052015682 / Angielski / Miękka / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Recently, many observers of social cohesion policies and practices have argued that globalization has promoted global convergence towards neo-liberal models in this field. Similarly, scholars and practitioners of regional politics have contended that Europe s social policies represent -best practices- and they have been promoted in other world regions (i.e. the recent EU-Latin American Summits) leading to convergence in policy-making. This book questions these assertions and asks whether distinctive regional approaches to social cohesion are still relevant. The comparative cross-regional...

State as a Giant with Feet of Clay
ISBN: 9783631653753 / Angielski / Miękka / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many contemporary states, even the European ones, resemble a giant with feet of clay. They tend to be greater in terms of the scope of governance, rather than in terms of their territory or population. Since they are great, they are also costly, though often very limited in various respects. One perilous alternative is the state-giant of Thomas Hobbes. But there are other possibilities as well, such as the liberal state, effective, yet small or lean; or the dreamt-up state of the conservatives, based on the principle of subsidiarity, acting only as a complement to civil society. The...

Survival of the African American Family: The Institutional Impact of U.S. Social Policy
ISBN: 9780275957698 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Challenging widely held beliefs, this provocative book offers nothing less than a blueprint for enhancing the social and economic status of African American families. Despite the implementation of liberal social policies in the 1960s and '70s, successive U.S. administrations continue to dash the hopes and expectations of African Americans, who remain subject to racism and discrimination. Arguing that social policies--and their absence--have affected the stability of the African American family, Jewell refutes the myth of significant progress for African American families emanating from the...

Cobley presents five interconnected case studies of previously neglected aspects of recreation and social welfare policy in South Africa.

Some considerations on the current... Cobley presents five interconnected case studies of previously neglected aspects of recreation and social welfare policy in South Africa. He charts... |

Drugs and the Limits of Liberalism
ISBN: 9780801435614 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Society's drug problem will persist, and debates over how to solve it will continue, getting nowhere, until we define our terms. This book is an effort to do just that to parse the legal, moral, and philosophical underpinnings for any discussion of drug policy. Does liberal political theory, with its commitment to individual freedom, offer any guidance in the matter of drugs, particularly regarding their legal status? Do the commitments that citizens of liberal democracies make commitments to ideals such as rationality, equality, justice, and democratic forms of decision-making have...

The Continuation War 1941-1944 as a Metanoic Moment: A Burkean Reading of Finnish Clerical Rhetoric
ISBN: 9783631641279 / Angielski / Twarda / 247 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The study explores an aspect of Finland in World War II that has received little attention. The research examines how Lutheran priests contributed rhetorically to the war effort against the Soviet Union in the Continuation War 1941-1944. The war was emplotted using six dramatic analogies: apocalypse, holy war & crusade, election & mission, jeremiad, the war within, obedience and mortification. Changes from an offensive phase in 1941 to an almost chaotic retreat in summer 1944 could be explained using rhetoric that was familiar to all Finns. The material consists of texts by bishops, chaplains...
