ISBN : 9780415853279.
307.76091724 POT 141721,V77
This book reconsiders the whole question of urbanisation
and planning in the Third World. It argues that public
involvement, which is now an accepted part of Western
planning, should be used more in Third World cities. It
shows that many inhabitants of Third World cities are
migrants from rural areas and have very definite ideas
about what the function of the city should be and what it
ought to offer, and it goes on to argue that therefore a
planning process which involves more public participation
would better serve local needs and would do much more to
solve problems than the contemporary approach.

This text examines the relationships between emerging
technologies and social, economic and other forms of
inequality. Examining the case studies of five
technologies across eight countries in Africa, Europe and
the Americas, the book finds that the distributional
dynamics around a given technology are influenced by the
way entrepreneurs and others package the technology, how
governments promote it and the existing local skills and
capacity to use it.

In conversation with eight women who survived lives of
abuse, the author draws attention to the unexpected fact
that despite years of suffering, many abuse survivors can
and do live enhanced lives and experience personal
growth. Once these eight women find the sources of help
which enable them to leave the abusive situations they
are in, there are significant changes in the women-s
thoughts, beliefs, and behaviour with respect to gender-
based violence. Refreshingly, these eight women are
unanimous in their refusal to return to their previously
abusive families. They value their newfound independence
much more than their previously socially-approved,
limiting roles and duties as wives, daughters-in-law and
daughters.

Communications are key to the success of disaster

Accurate information disseminated to the general public,
to elected officials and community leaders, as well as to
the media, reduces risk, saves lives and property, and
speeds recovery. This book provides valuable information
for navigating these priorities in the age of evolving
media. The emergence of new media like the Internet,
email, blogs, text messaging, cell phone photos, and the
increasing influence of first informers are redefining
the roles of government and media.

Over the past four decades many European welfare states
have seen an increasing involvement of the commercial
sector in their mixed economies of welfare. One aspect of
this development that has yet to be fully understood in
social policy analysis is the engagement of businesses to
address social problems, such as social exclusion,
through activities labelled as -corporate social
responsibility- (-CSR-). Although CSR has gained
increasing currency on both national and international
policy agendas since the 1990s, it remains a topic which
is predominantly researched in business schools and from
a business perspective. This book aims to redress this
imbalance by focusing on the social aspect of CSR. It
argues that when CSR is linked to social exclusion it is
a way of renegotiating responsibilities in mixed
economies of welfare.
