Abstract

Do we still believe in foreign aid and development education? As governments tend to cut down aid budgets and the public appears to take a more and more sceptical stand, not just the old way of campaigning is under pressure, but also the idea of the North helping the South as such. To materialize the hind-laying value of global solidarity in the present world, a radical re-thinking of the wornout concept of aid is required.Set against this paradox, this book explores the new notion of global citizenship and the challenges it represents. Self-contained chapters feature coverage of a range of issues: politics, opinion polls, education, the results agenda, private sustainability standards, framing messages for TV-broadcasting and the role of social media. As it is a long road to global citizenship, this book keeps you company for a part of the way

Abstract

Of het nu komt door nieuwsbeelden van overstromingen, tentenkampen met vluchtelingen en ondervoede Afrikaanse kinderen of door de fondsenwervingscampagnes door talrijke ngos en andere hulporganisaties, iedereen heeft wel een vaag idee als de term "humanitaire hulp" valt. Maar wat is het in realiteit en hoe werkt de humanitaire secto r? Waar komen humanitaire hulp en noodhulp vandaan en wie en waar zijn de ontvangers ervan ? Wat onderscheidt "humanitaire hulp" van "ontwikkelingshulp", en wat is de plaats en rol van de ngo's, de Verenigde Naties, het Internationale Rode Kruis en de verschillende regeringen die hulp financieren in het ganse verhaal ? En zijn de begunstigden en ontvangers van humanitaire hulp echt zo passief en hulpeloos als ze vaak worden afgebeeld ?Achter het populaire beeld van de humanitaire sector zit een heel diverse en complexe wereld van allerlei instellingen, organisaties en maatschappelijke groepen met een eigen aanpak, inbreng en eigen belangen. Dit boek, dat geschreven is door een oudgediende van de branche, bespreekt het ontstaan en de evolutie van de internationale humanitaire sector. Het plaatst ze op de achtergrond van een reeks mondiale politieke en maatschappelijke ontwikkelingen, en gaat in detail in op de verschillende actoren van de humanitaire hulp. Ten slotte besteedt het boek ook speciale aandacht aan voedselhulp en aan een aantal mogelijke toekomstige ontwikkelingen binnen en rond de humanitaire wereld.Bron : http://www.boekenbank.be

Abstract

"Dancing in Chains is far more than a sensitive biography (though it is surely that); it is also a model of psychologically informed social and cultural history. Olsen recognizes that psychic conflicts often play themselves out on a higher plane, that psychic and intellectual history are intertwined. He presents a wonderful nuanced picture of Howells."-Jackson Lears,Rutgers University In this insightful study of the childhood and youth of William Dean Howells, Dancing in Chains demonstrates how the turbulent social and cultural changes of the early nineteenth century shaped the young Howells's emotional and intellectual life. His early diaries, letters, poetry, fiction, and newspaper columns are used to illustrate Olsen's argument, which also in turn throws light on the dominant tensions in antebellum America. Accepting the emergent middle-class ethos of civilized morality, with its new conceptions of child rearing and gender spheres, Howells's parents urged him to achieve self-control and individual success while also teaching him to seek the good of others rather than his own glory. For Howells the conflicts coalesced at the time of his leaving home, an increasing common rite of passage for antebellum youth. Trying to affirm his sense of literary vocation, he tested his aspirations against the family's Swedenborgian religious convictions and the antislavery commitments of his village while experimenting with competing literary ideologies in the process of meeting the demands of the new mass reading audience. For Howells the resulting tensions eased toward the end of his youth but reappeared in his more mature works of fiction and social criticism in later years. Portraying the ordeal of coming of age during a momentous period of American history, Dancing in Chains is a fascinating study with a broad appeal to general readers as well as scholars.
