O livro propõe dialogar com formas de gestão pautadas em valores como solidariedade, cooperação, democracia, igualdade de oportunidades, sustentabilidade ambiental e respeito às relações entre sociedade e organização. Trata-se de nadar contra a corrente da lógica dominante, que sustenta que a desigualdade social é resultado de competências e incompetências individuais. Para lidar com esse questionamento, este livro abordao binômiogestão social e agricultura familiar como um campo para analisar essas relações. O livro está dividido em três eixos: O primeiro trata da dimensão conceitual da gestão social. Para tratar essa questão, é realizada uma reflexão teórico-conceitual sobre gestão social e os nexos entre a lógica da gestão social e da agricultura familiar. No eixo seguinte apresentam-se as experiências de organizações enraizadas na agricultura familiar. Os capítulos trazem vivencias de cooperativas e assentamentos rurais e também é abordado o papel das políticas públicas. A terceira e última parte do livro traz o debate sobre as tecnologias sociais. Trata a questão da economia solidária como uma possibilidade de relacionamento entre organizações que primam por uma lógica administrativa substantiva. Espera-se que a leitura dessa obra permita uma reflexão sobre caminhos que vislumbrem a possibilidade de evidenciar as potencialidades e dificuldades que os atores sociais encontram em desenvolver uma lógica de gestão que favoreça à solidariedade e a cooperação.

Dieses Open Access Buch befasst sich mit Nachhaltiger Entwicklung unter Bedingungen eines rasanten globalen Wandels. Noch nie waren Menschen global so vernetzt und Informationen wurden so schnell um den Globus ausgetauscht wie heute, und trotzdem bestehen massive Ungleichheiten bei der gerechten Verteilung von Ressourcen, dem Schutz von Menschenrechten, dem Schutz der Natur und den gewährten Hilfestellungen bei der Anpassung an den Klimawandel. Wir greifen so stark in das Erdsystem ein, dass man zunehmend von einem durch den Menschen geprägten Erdzeitalter spricht, dem „Anthropozän“. Um die für eine Begrenzung des Klimawandels und den Erhalt unserer natürlichen Lebensgrundlagen unabdingbaren gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Transformationen durchzusetzen, müssen wir es wagen, eine andere Welt zu denken und die Schranken in unseren Köpfen hinterfragen. Eine interdisziplinäre Nachhaltigkeitsforschung kann hierzu wichtige Beiträge liefern.

With unprecedented student debt keeping an entire generation from realizing the "American Dream," this book sounds a warning about how that debt may undermine both higher education-and our democracy. American higher education boasts one of the most impressive legacies in the world, but the price of admission for many is now endless debt. As this book shows, increasing educational indebtedness undermines the real value of higher education in our democracy. To help readers understand this dilemma, the book examines how student debt became commonplace and what the long-term effects of such an ongoing reality might be. Sold My Soul for a Student Loan examines this vitally important issue from an unprecedented diversity of perspectives, focusing on the fact that student debt is hindering the ability of millions of people to enter the job market, the housing market, the consumer economy, and the political process. Among other topics, the book covers the history of consumer debt in the United States, the history of federal policy toward higher education, and political action in response to the issue of student debt. Perhaps most importantly, it explores the new relationship debtor-citizens have to the government as a result of debt, and how that impacts democracy for a new generation.

This Open Access book builds upon Science and Technology Studies (STS) and provides a detailed examination of how large-scale energy research projects have been conceived, and with what consequences for those involved in interdisciplinary research, which has been advocated as the zenith of research practice for many years, quite often in direct response to questions that cannot be answered (or even preliminarily investigated) by disciplines working separately. It produces fresh insights into the lived experiences and actual contents of interdisciplinarity, rather than simply commentating on how it is being explicitly advocated. We present empirical studies on large-scale energy research projects from the United Kingdom, Norway, and Finland. The book presents a new framework, the Sociology of Interdisciplinarity, which unpacks interdisciplinary research in practice. This book will be of interest to all those interested in well-functioning interdisciplinary research systems and the dynamics of doing interdisciplinarity, including real ground-level experiences and institutional interdependencies.
