Full textAbstract:
In this study, possibility of establishing feminist solidarity, sustained and based on feminist politics in Turkey is examined. Commonality discourse, the notion of sisterhood and identity politics, creating illusionary homogeneity are criticized of being exclusionary and limiting. Contemporary accounts of feminist solidarity are investigated in order to find a way out for establishing solidarity across difference. However, it is seen that these contemporary approaches are far from designating a driving force to stimulate feminists / activists to come together. It is argued that in order to achieve feminist solidarity respecting differences is a must. It is also argued that solidarity has to become a powerful relation among feminists and to do so internalized inequalities and power holding within activism has to be interrogated. Consciousness raising among activists is offered as a means to overcome challenges to activism and barriers to solidarity. Furthermore it is argued that feminism has to
become the motto of activism and feminist politics as the basis for establishing feminist solidarity.

Full textAbstract:
This study engaged in pushing the current political limitations created by the political impasse of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, by imagining new possibilities for radical political change, agency, and subjectivity for both the international activists volunteering with the International Solidarity Movement as well as Palestinians enduring the brutality of life under occupation. The role of the witness and testimony is brought to bear on activism and rhetoric the social movement ISM in Palestine. Approaches the past studies of the rhetoric of social movements arguing that rhetorical studies often disassociated 'social' from social movements, rendering invisible questions of the social and subjectivity from their frames for evaluation. Using the testimonies of these witnesses, Palestinians and activists, as the rhetorical production of the social movement, this study provides an effort to put the social body back into rhetorical studies of social movements. The relationships of subjectivity and desubjectification, as well as, possession of subjects by agency and the role of the witness with each of these is discussed in terms of Palestinian and activist potential for subjectification and desubjectifiation.

This thesis provides an account of the work of Canadian organizations that took part in the global anti-apartheid movement and then continued political advocacy work in South Africa post-1994. My central research question is: What explains the rise and fall of international solidarity movements? I answer this question by exploring the factors that allowed the Canadian anti-apartheid network to grow into an international solidarity movement and explaining how a change in these factors sent the network into a period of decline post-1994. I use two organizations, the United Church of Canada and CUSO, as case studies for my analysis. I argue that four factors were behind the growth of the Canadian solidarity network: the presence of large CSOs in Canada willing to become involved in solidarity work, the presence of radical spaces in these organizations from which activists could advocate for and carry out solidarity work, the frame resonance of the apartheid issue in Canada and the political incentives the apartheid state provided for South African activists to encourage Northern support. Post-1994 all of these factors shifted in ways that restricted the continuation of international solidarity work with South Africa. Accordingly I argue that the decline of the Canadian network was driven in part by specific South African factors, but was also connected to a more general stifling of the activist work of progressive Canadian CSOs over the 1990s. This reduction of capacity was driven by the ascent of neo-liberal policy in Canada and worldwide. Using examples from a wide swath of cases I outline this process and explain how all four factors drove the growth and decline of Canadian solidarity work towards South Africa.

Full textAbstract:
This paper analyses if European citizens are willing to show solidarity with debt-ridden EU member states during the recent crisis. Based on a theoretical concept comprehending four di-mensions of solidarity - generalised willingness to support, existence of social cleavages, rea-sons of supporting others, acceptance of conditions a crisis country has to meet to receive as-sistance - we derived hypotheses stating that the existence of a European wide solidarity is rather unlikely. We analysed data from two Eurobarometer surveys 2010 and 2011 and a unique survey conducted in Germany and Portugal in 2012. Descriptive and multilevel analyses indi-cated that in 2010 and 2011, a narrow majority of all EU citizens supported fiscal assistance for crisis countries, and socio-economic and cultural cleavages in attitudes regarding financial as-sistance for crisis countries were rather low. Findings from the two country comparison showed that the willingness to show solidarity was predominantly guided by moral reasoning instead of the respondent’s self-interest. However, German and Portuguese respondents disagree on austerity measures, with the exception of social spending cuts. Taken all together, we come to the conclusion that recent years have brought a new legitimacy to the use of EU bailout measures which are now a given European practice.

Full textAbstract:
Waves of contemporary social justice movements keep bringing people together to address urgent crises of our time. In their attempts to mitigate economic inequality, social oppression, and climate change, social movements draw upon everyday practices to re/generate political solidarity in ways that can preserve or transform the world. In doing so, movements build collective capacities to identify problems, develop political solutions, and create new economic, social, and ecological relationships.
My thesis complements these efforts by re-thinking political solidarity to better understand how it can be practiced in more thoughtful, sustainable, and effective ways. I use a mix of philosophical methods—genealogy, perspicuous representation, hermeneutics, situational analysis, and normative and conceptual argumentation—to better understand the meanings, motivations, practices, and prospects for political solidarity today.
What does political solidarity mean? What moves people to come together and take collective action? How do social movements sustain solidarity throughout their lifecycles, and across time and difference, in order to achieve their goals? How can we improve our understanding of solidarity, our involvement in it, and the practices which sustain it in order to achieve greater economic equality, social freedom, and environmental sustainability?
The Art of Political Solidarity responds to these questions by arguing that collective political action and transformational struggle are crafts which require the development of skill and know-how. My thesis argues for a distinctive mode of solidarity that involves practices of reflection, affectual attunement, skill cultivation, and proto-typing the new worlds that communities of practice are trying to expand or bring into being. Each practice offers ways to overcome the limits of outmoded conceptualisations, debilitating affects, and rigid models of solidarity. By re-iterating, re-articulating, and refining the art of political solidarity, we partake in an apprenticeship of social change that increases our capacities to come together and build a better world.

Full textAbstract:
The challenge of immigration has divided EU member states, political parties, media and academia as well as the electorate of EU countries, leaving political decision makers under tremendous pressure on both national and EU level. To alleviate the situation for highly burdened member states, the Commission has suggested a permanent relocation mechanism for refugees, but so far, many member states have been reluctant to accept higher shares of refugees. Some observers have labelled the situation a crisis of solidarity, challenging the idea of European integration, but also questioning the Union’s capacity to demonstrate solidarity between member states, and consequently its capacity to show solidarity with arriving refugees. By looking at European Parliament debates, this paper examines the main differences between the European Christian Democratic and Social Democratic understandings of solidarity and how these differences become visible in relation to relocation of refugees and asylum seekers between EU member states. The findings suggest that while there is some convergence, Christian Democrats are more inclined to consider refugees as a threat and to advocate the need of securing external borders than their Social Democratic counterparts. Social Democrats also to a larger extent favour the idea of making relocation mandatory, while many Christian Democrats emphasize the importance of subsidiarity. The findings can be associated with the foundational values of both party groups and their political understandings of solidarity. Most interestingly, however, this paper finds that the national level variance within these two party groups is frequently bigger, than between them – indicating that MEP’s understandings of solidarity are perhaps more strongly mediated by nationality than political affiliation.

Thesis advisor: David HollenbachSolidarity as spiritual exercise: a contribution to the development of solidarity in the Catholic social tradition By Mark William Potter Director: David Hollenbach, S.J. ABSTRACT The encyclicals and speeches of Pope John Paul II placed solidarity at the very center of the Catholic social tradition and contemporary Christian ethics. This dissertation analyzes the historical development of solidarity in the Church's encyclical tradition, and then offers an examination and comparison of the unique contributions of John Paul II and the Jesuit theologian Jon Sobrino to contemporary understandings of solidarity. Ultimately, I argue that understanding solidarity as spiritual exercise integrates the wisdom of John Paul II's conception of solidarity as the virtue for an interdependent world with Sobrino's insights on the ethical implications of Christian spirituality, orthopraxis, and a commitment to communal liberation. The dissertation probes the relationship between spirituality and ethics in general, and Ignatian spirituality and Catholic social teaching, in particular. My analysis of solidarity in the encyclical tradition (Chapter 1) provides an historical overview of the incremental development of solidarity in the writings of successive popes and ecclesial councils from Pius XII through Paul VI. In considering the unique contributions of John Paul II, I turn first to the theological and philosophical formation of Karol Wojtyla and the sociopolitical context of Poland (Ch. 2). My analysis then turns to a consideration of Pope John Paul II's social encyclicals (Ch. 3), with the goal of offering a definition of solidarity that integrates his intellectual formation and social context with the development of solidarity in the official social tradition. Next, I examine the development of solidarity in the writings of Jon Sobrino, first through an analysis of his intellectual and spiritual formation in the revolutionary context of El Salvador (Ch. 4), and then through an analysis of his unique theological contributions to the topic (Ch. 5). Based on Sobrino, I offer an articulation of solidarity as spiritual exercise as an original contribution to the development of solidarity in the Catholic social tradition (Ch. 6)

Worsdale, Rosie. "Sexual objectification : from complicity to solidarity." Thesis, University of Essex, 2017. http://repository.essex.ac.uk/21377/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis defends the diagnostic accuracy and political usefulness of the claim that women are complicit in their sexual objectification. Feminists have long struggled to demarcate the appropriate limits of feminist critiques of sexual objectification, particularly when it comes to objectifying practices which women both consent to and experience as empowering. These struggles, I argue, are the result of a fundamental misdiagnosis of what happens when women are sexually objectified, whereby the abstract notion of 'treating as an object' is called upon to explicate the kind of phenomena which can only be properly understood in light of a more general set of social norms of masculinity and femininity. A more accurate diagnosis of sexual objectification, I argue, is provided by Catharine MacKinnon's radical feminist theory, according to which sexually objectifying acts are manifestations of the social process through which women are made into objects of male sexual gratification. One important implication of this account is that women themselves play a role in perpetuating the norms through which sexually objectifying treatment of women is enabled: insofar as they participate in the re-constitution of the social context which facilitates their sexual objectification, they are complicit in it. Although this idea lacks intuitive appeal from a feminist perspective, I argue that understanding the nature of the contribution women make to perpetuating their objectification enables a better understanding of what practices of resistance are necessary for effectively combatting the sexual objectification of women. I defend the explanatory power of the complicity account of objectification in light of two pressing debates in contemporary feminist philosophy: the question of how women can disidentify from femininity given the strong attachments they develop to it, and the question of how feminism can continue to appeal to the motif of solidarity considering the anti-essentialist commitments of recent feminist theory.

Hughes, James Thomas. "Ecclesial solidarity in the Pauline corpus." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2014. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=228196.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines expectations of ecclesial solidarity in the letters to communities in the Pauline corpus, with a particular focus on inter-church solidarity, as this has been a neglected area. The thesis proceeds by examining the use and meaning of ἐκκλησία, images for the church, and the language of imitation and apostleship in the nine Pauline letters addressed to churches, taking the letters in four groups by approximate and relative chronological order, after first examining the use of ἐκκλησία in ancient Greek literature, and in the Septuagint and related literature. This examination confirms the traditional understanding of ἐκκλησία as 'assembly', whilst also highlighting a flexibility of usage, and the focus on assembly as a political, decision making gathering. The examination of Paul's earliest letters reveals a concern with intra-church solidarity. However, close analysis of the use of ἐκκλησία taking into account earlier usage suggests that Paul uses ἐκκλησία flexibly, and trans-locally. Concerns with inter-church solidarity can also be seen in the use of the language of 'brothers' and holy people, and in the examples presented of churches to be imitated. This solidarity extends beyond hospitality and mutual support to behaving for the benefit of other churches. In the Corinthian correspondence, alongside a frequently noted concern with intra-church solidarity, there is an extensive concern for inter-church solidarity, shown in the use of ἐκκλησία, brothers, body, saints and temple, and the language of imitation and apostleship. Close analysis reveals this concern throughout the letter, and that Paul seeks to promote a shared ethos across all churches, not just those of the Pauline mission. Romans and Philippians continue to show a concern for inter-church solidarity, but the particular issues addressed in the letters mean that the focus is on intra-church solidarity. Colossians and Ephesians demonstrate an extensive concern for inter-church solidarity, seen in the trans-local, but not heavenly, use of ἐκκλησία and in the language of holy people, body and temple. However, this inter-church solidarity is promoted as an encouragement to intra-church solidarity, and, particularly in Ephesians, inter-church solidarity is fostered by intra-church solidarity.

Full textAbstract:
Throughout history, humans have stigmatized solitude. We see it as an inconvenience, something to avoid, a punishment. As a society today, we are constantly locked on to our phones, televisions, friend groups and generally being around people. It is an over stimulation that has damaging effects to our mental well-being. We need to be around people because we are a social species. Because of this we think the idea of being alone as a problem, as something strange, an unwanted behavior. I believe there is a misunderstanding between the idea of isolation with separation and loneliness.
The world's population is increasing every year and we often find ourselves trapped in overcrowded cities. Finding a special quiet place to get away and gather your thoughts is difficult in an environment like this. This is a major stress factor that contributes to the large spread of depression and anxiety that we find in our world. These cities come with many stressors such as density, excessive stimuli, competition and materialism, disconnection and even uncertainty in a constantly moving and changing environment.
This thesis is the exploration of intentional solitude which is the idea of wanting to be alone. Being alone has many benefits that go beyond what most people think. Scientists and psychologists today are finding that isolation can be very beneficial to the human mind and can be therapeutic if done so by choice. Intentional solitude can also be beneficial for groups as well. This works when individual group members set off and isolate for a certain period and then regroup later to share their own experience. By doing this, the group gains new experiences and ideas that would otherwise be unachievable if done so alone.
To best achieve solidarity, the design of the wellness retreat will include a main communal building, called the hearth, and a set of smaller individual structures, called shelters. These shelters will be located at different points throughout the site and provide an isolated, natural experience for self-reflection. The hearth will be the area for communal gatherings and to share ideas and experiences found through isolation.Master of Architecture
People in todays society are so consumed by their phones, media and life itself that they often forget to save time for themselves. Research has shown that finding time for solitude and isolation to gather ones thoughts and relax has proven to be a major help in terms of mental health. This thesis involves a wellness retreat which was designed for such people in order to help them reflect on themselves through the exposure to architecture and the natural environment. The project involves two major aspects. One is the main central communal building called the hearth. This is where all the visitors will reconvene everyday to share their personal experiences. The second part of this project are the separate isolation shelters that are spread out through the wooded site. These locations will be used for personal intentional solitude. This is where each visitor will spend most of their time alone with both architecture and nature. The shelters and the hearth are connected to each other through several trails on the site.

Goodsell, Todd L. "Reconsidering Solidarity in the Mormon Village." BYU ScholarsArchive, 1998. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/4720.
Full textAbstract:
In what became a classic rural community study, Lowry Nelson concluded in his first Mormon village series in the 1920's that the Mormon village is characterized by an extraordinary sense of solidarity. He claimed that this strong solidarity can be primarily explained by four factors of the social group: leadership, conflict, cooperation, and ideology. After resurveying the Mormon village in 1950, he concluded that solidarity had declined. However, a few problems become apparent to the present researcher looking back upon Nelson's findings. One of them is that Nelson never had a clear definition of solidarity to begin with. Another is that the research focus shifted between the first and the second Mormon village series. Primarily using ethnographic methods, the present research project attempts to derive a new definition and evaluation of solidarity within the Mormon village. The evidence produced by the study suggests that the solidarity is best not seen as uniformity, nor as coordinated action, but as an affective attachment to a common purpose. The original factors promoting solidarity are still relevant, but in different ways than they were seventy-five years ago. In addition, Mormon villagers have also found other means to promote solidarity in the local context. These include particular applications of gossip, service, and heritage or collective identity.

CAMBONI, FRANCESCO. "A Sociability-based Theory of Solidarity." Doctoral thesis, Università degli studi di Genova, 2021. http://hdl.handle.net/11567/1057605.
Full textAbstract:
Notwithstanding the increasing interest that solidarity recently attracted in social, political, and moral philosophers, the foundations of a philosophical research field on solidarity have still to be laid. This thesis pursues the broad aim to contribute to this foundational work and is organized and structured accordingly. The substantive goal of the whole research project that unfolds henceforth is to reach a definition of the concept of solidarity, which is not intended to overcome or dismiss our everyday intuitions and commonsensical understandings of solidarity, but rather to make sense of what is underpinned by them. The dissertation is divided into four chapters.
In Chapter 1, I take the steps from Durkheim, who is by broad acknowledgment regarded as the pioneering theorist developing a systematic account of solidarity. The potentially original contribution of Chapter 1 is a conclusive focus on some questions that can be formulated out of Durkheim’s framework and have been quite neglected by the commentators of his works. One of such open questions, that is, the extent to which anthropological assumptions on human nature ̶ and especially sociability ̶ may influence any theorization of solidarity, prepares the terrain for the subsequent development of the dissertation.
Chapter 2 aims at shedding light on this intuition, which is elaborated in terms of an updated nomological reappraisal of human nature and a genuinely original concept that I propose, that is, the «anthropological load». By this concept, I mean a scalar property of social, ethical, and political concepts which indicates the extent to which the conceptual space for theorizing each of them is determined by anthropological assumptions. Following Durkheim’s suggestion, I consider sociability as the most salient anthropological assumption for theorizing solidarity. Accordingly, at the end of Chapter 2, I present a possible strategy to frame the structure of the concept of sociability, that is, that of a dispositional and open cluster concept.
Chapter 3 is intended to unpack some core features that compose the cluster of sociability, that is, capacity of self-categorization, the capacity of empathy, and capacity of being moved by prosocial motivation. For each of these features, it is proposed to adopt a definition borrowed from the pertinent scientific literature which will be selectively presented and discussed.
To conclude, Chapter 4 takes the final and crucial step of the whole research project, that is, the definition of solidarity. The structure of this chapter is twofold. Firstly, I still present seven cases that are, at least intuitively, solidarity-evoking. In so doing, a phenomenological catalog of solidarity will be provided, wide enough to give a flavor of the pervasiveness of the phenomenon; the remainder of the chapter will be devoted to the question of whether all of these cases can be covered by a concept of solidarity, to be defined. The subsequent endeavor of defining solidarity, to be attempted in the second section, shall stick to the methodological guidance offered by Chapter 2. Thus, the definition of solidarity will be developed accordingly, that is, based on the sociability-related properties unpacked in Chapter 3.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis explores how European social movements have actively contested that there is no alternative to capitalism by constructing alternative trading practices in solidarity with marginalized peoples in the global South. The study adopts the example of the European Zapatista solidarity network (Redprozapa) to examine the nature of organizations involved in radical political practices. One organization Ya Basta-Milano is focused on to examine in detail the operation of, and challenges faced by, an autonomous political group that engages in solidarity trade. Solidarity and autonomy are the key conceptual themes, which the investigation revolves around. The research dwells upon the potential importance as well as the limitations of solidarity trade as an emerging form of constructive resistance. It concentrates upon the subject of autonomous spaces that embodies the physical and political context in which autonomous social movements promote their practices. It questions the contradictions met in this environment despite the romanticized idea promoted by some academic literature. Finally, it provides methodological insights about solidarity action research and personal implications of working with radical groups as an activist academic.

Although different studies have been conducted on various aspects of the National Solidarity Program (NSP) in Afghanistan, research on strengthening solidarity and social cohesion through its participatory approach has received little attention. This research used development communication as a theoretical framework to understand the role of participatory communication in strengthening solidarity and social cohesion in Afghanistan. The study employed a qualitative case study. To this end, the study used semi-structured interviews via email and telephone with 10 participants. Thematic analysis was used to code and categorize the data. The study findings show that the NSP appears to promote participation and increase collectiveness among the Afghan people, which, in turn, seem to strengthen solidarity and social cohesion. Finally, future research areas are discussed in the light of these findings.

This thesis is a case study of the Solidarity Coalition, a social protest movement which united labour and community groups In opposition to right-wing restraint legislation. It considers why this unprecedented extra parliamentary force failed to persuade the government to withdraw the offending legislation and attempts to explain the dominance of the labour agenda in the modest successes it did achieve. Interviews with participants in the Coalition and other significant political actors provide the information used in the analysis of this protest phenomena.
The thesis incorporates a detailed study of the evolution of the Coalition and its organizational structure and Internal processes within the context of the larger political system and with reference to theoretical
literature concerning protest movements. I argue that the emergence of the Coalition as a diverse and broad based movement in reaction to a right wing attack on the social contract is predictable, however, the outcomes of the protest action are less so. Analysis of the Coalition suggests that organizational contradictions within its structure, external and unforseen circumstances, and the strength of government intransigence were influential factors shaping both the development of the protest movement and the outcomes of its actions.
The commitment to common cause, fuelled by moral outrage and espoused by labour and community groups, was not sufficient to withstand the divisive tendencies inherent in the structure of the Coalition, or the Inertia that must be overcome by large groups to achieve collective goods. Labour proved to be the more powerful actor within the Coalition due to its financial and organizational resources and its significant noticeabilIty factor as a member of the CoalItion. I argue that consistent with the theory of the logic of collective action that the labour agenda eventually dominated within the Coalition, influencing the parameters of the settlement achieved, and in part, accounting for the failure of the Coalition to meet Its collective goal of withdrawal of the restraint legislation.Arts, Faculty of

Nightingale, John R. "The concept of solidarity in anarchist thought." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2016. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/22330.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis makes an original contribution to knowledge by presenting an analysis of anarchist conceptions of solidarity. Whilst recent academic literature has conceptualised solidarity from a range of perspectives, anarchist interpretations have largely been marginalised or ignored. This neglect is unjustified, for thinkers of the anarchist tradition have often emphasised solidarity as a key principle, and have offered original and instructive accounts of this important but contested political concept. In a global era which has seen the role of the nation state significantly reduced, anarchism, which consists in a fundamental critique and rejection of hierarchical state-like institutions, can provide a rich source of theory on the meaning and significance of solidarity. The work consists in detailed analyses of the concepts of solidarity of four prominent anarchist thinkers: Michael Bakunin, Peter Kropotkin, Murray Bookchin and Noam Chomsky. The analytic investigation is led by Michael Freeden s methodology of ideological morphology , whereby ideologies are viewed as peculiar configurations of political concepts, which are themselves constituted by sub-conceptual idea-components. Working within this framework, the analysis seeks to ascertain the way in which each thinker attaches particular meanings to the concept of solidarity, and to locate solidarity within their wider ideological system. Subsequently, the thesis offers a representative profile of an anarchist concept of solidarity, which is characterised by notions of universal inclusion, collective responsibility and the social production of individuality.

Every year, more than three million allegations of childhood maltreatment are received by child protective services, many of which involve cases of abuse or neglect inflicted by the victims’ parents. A number of studies found that negative consequences of childhood maltreatment can last for a lifetime. Despite the long-term impact of childhood maltreatment, later-life relationships between adult victims of childhood maltreatment and their abusive parent have rarely been examined. This dissertation aims to address the gap in the literature by examining how adult victims of childhood maltreatment relate to their abusive parent when the parent becomes old and requires long-term care assistance. This three-paper dissertation utilized existing data sources: Wisconsin Longitudinal Study and National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States. The first paper examined the mediating effect of intergenerational solidarity with the aging mother in the association between maternal childhood maltreatment and adult psychological functioning. The second paper used longitudinal data analysis to compare long-term changes in affectual solidarity with aging mothers between adults with a history of childhood abuse and those without. This paper also examined moderating effects of the correlates of childhood abuse (i.e., poor social competency and lack of emotional regulation) in the association between childhood abuse and affectual solidarity with the aging mother. The third paper focused on the caregiving situation in which adult victims of childhood abuse provided care to their abusive parent. This paper investigated whether and how providing care to the abusive parent was associated with psychological distress among abused adult children, and whether self-esteem mediated the association. By revealing the dynamics of later-life relationships between adult victims of childhood maltreatment and their abusive parent, this three-paper dissertation not only contributes to creating new knowledge to the aging literature, but also provides future direction for social work practice and policy

Full textAbstract:
Solidarity between generations in the public pension schemes for the present analysis is related to the force in the PAYG pension systems contract between generations. It is extremely important and relevant issue since financing of benefits in the majority of pension schemes is based on the solidarity between generations. Of special significance is the fact, that the current pension benefits are financed from the current pension fund. Therefore, the solidarity between generations is one of the most important instruments of the state policy.

This study is an interdisciplinary study it brings together three rather unrelated traditions of social scientific thinking concerning social bonds: (1) sociological theory on solidarity, (2) anthropological theory on the cultural and social meanings of exchange, and (3) social psychology theory of emotions (based on conditions and circumstances that promote solidarity). The study also builds a framework to explore social solidarity in the context of armed conflict. Therefore, our research design comprises two studies, a qualitative study and a quantitative one, with a sample of 505 married, widows, divorced, and separated women (50 for the qualitative investigation) coming from different ethnic groups. We also interviewed the camp leader, government institutions, and NGOs. And to gain a better understanding of the practices of solidarity at the everyday level, we did participant observation.

Through qualitative exploration, we have been able to explain how the community mange to build social fabric with the help of the NGOs and the camp leaders. Also, it shows how political and economic situations can impact social bonds. Also, it explains how Darfurian women have shown themselves to be highly competent and active who draw on personal, social, and external resources to enhance their social solidarity so they can cope with the hard-living condition. Women’s solidarity has emerged as particularly multidimensional, revealing the importance of moving across individual, family, community, and societal levels when examining life in war-torn contexts. The conceptual model built from our data highlights the crucial interconnection between women’s coping strategies and practices of solidarity. Furthermore, the results show how women’s agency as a bottom-up approach to peacebuilding can contribute to states’ long-term peacebuilding efforts and, thus, can complement the existing top-down efforts if given support and recognition.
Through quantitative exploration, we have been able to see with whom women exchange gifts and who they trust and ask for help (ingroup and outgroup). In the quantitative study, we used logistic regression to examine the impact of armed conflict on social bonds. The study uses trust and associational participation measures as proxies for social capital. The empirical results show a renewed interest in associations. They also give support to the eroding trust between women. The loss of trust poses a true challenge in the concept of peacebuilding and rebuilding social cohesion.
Our findings challenge the picture mentioned above of women as helpless victims, portraying women living in the shadow of violence as strong mobilizing resources both within themselves and within their social and political world. By filling gaps in the available knowledge about women’s social solidarity in the context of armed conflict, this research suggests possible directions to follow in order to design better policies and interventions.

Full textAbstract:
Desde la llegada de los españoles, se instituyó la obligación de pagar tributos por parte de la población en favor de los conquistadores. Esta obligación, podía ser en dinero, especie o trabajo y fue instaurada con la finalidad de que el Estado realice obras o brinde servicios para el bien común.
En la actualidad, el Derecho Tributario es la rama del derecho público que estudia las normas jurídicas que tienen como fin regular la relación del Estado con el individuo, por lo que la Administración Tributaria haciendo uso de su potestad, exige a los particulares cumplir con la prestación pecuniaria (tributo) con el propósito de sostener los gastos que demanden el cumplimiento de sus fines (brindar servicios públicos).
En el ámbito tributario, los individuos son denominados contribuyentes, y están en la obligación de cumplir con las prestaciones de tipo tributario, dada la posición vertical y subordinada en la que se encuentran frente a la Administración Tributaria. En esta relación, el Estado puede exigir el pago de la obligación de forma coactiva, pudiendo ser el contribuyente una persona natural o jurídica.
El Código Tributario como cuerpo normativo, regula la relación tributaria entre el Estado y el contribuyente, estableciendo en ese sentido normas para garantizar el pago de la deuda tributaria. Por lo tanto, dentro de su normativa, establece supuestos en los que la obligación de realizar la prestación pecuniaria puede trasladarse a un tercero denominado responsable, quien originalmente no forma parte de la denominada relación jurídico-tributaria.

This doctoral thesis focuses on collective bargaining and temporary migrant workers within Canada participating in the Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program (SAWP). The intent is to analyze the range and efficacy of legal responses to the problems encountered by this community within Canada, focusing on the unionization of SAWP participants. The dissertation addresses the fundamentally legal relationship between unionization and SAWP workers in Canada. It takes an approach that considers both historical and legal considerations leading to the use of SAWP workers in Canada, and the eventual attempts at unionization. Recent legal developments in several Canadian provinces involving SAWP workers and efforts collective bargaining are analyzed. There is a comparison with similar efforts to unionize migrant workers in the United States, and of efforts to address violations of collective bargaining rights through international complaints as well as within the broader framework of international law. The conclusion reached is that within the current framework of provincial labour legislation and the current structure of the SAWP, collective bargaining alone represents an inadequate response to violations of SAWP workers’ workplace rights in Canada.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyses the relationship between health, solidarity, and justice from a discourse theoretical perspective. Jürgen Habermas links justice to free, uncoerced, and inclusive processes of discursive consensus building. The realisation of these rational discourses, however, depends on a sense of solidarity between participants: solidarity is the counterpart of justice. Yet, in modern capitalism solidarity is the scarcest social resource. This leaves societies with the task of reconstructing the conditions that would make solidarity, and therefore justice, sustainable. This thesis argues that health offers an important contribution to this project. Habermas‟s universal pragmatics is used to analyse different concepts of health, and in adopting the perspective of the participant an intersubjective understanding of health is proposed. Placed within Habermas‟s theory of society, health is conceptualised as a sub-system of the lifeworld that contributes to social reproduction at the cultural, normative, and personality levels by: reproducing lay and medical knowledge; nurturing social solidarity through nets of formal and informal healthcare; and contributing to the development of personalities capable of and motivated to joining relationships of mutual recognition. These last two contributions reveal the relevance of health in fostering conditions for justice. The growing literature on the social determinants of health is explored to the conclusion that the relationship between health and justice is reciprocal and closer than commonly assumed. This insight is then applied to the context of the right to health. The thesis refutes different liberal challenges to the right to health and explores the right from the perspective of Habermas‟s reconstruction of the system of rights and procedural paradigm of law. The thesis concludes that discourse theory provides a better understanding of the relationship between health and justice, and therefore, better grounds for interpreting health as a legitimate human right.

Political SciencePh.D.
This dissertation investigates the role of global labor in international relations. I argue that global labor is mainly comprised of two parts: national union organizations and Global Unions. Global Unions are transnational labor organizations (TLOs) with a worldwide membership that were created by national union organizations to represent their interests internationally. I contend that Global Unions perform five interrelated functions for national unions. However, due to the inherent structural weaknesses of Global Unions, it is the national unions that, in fact, remain the critical force behind global labor. Therefore, I focus on the transnational activities of national unions. I identify three conditions that result in incentives for unions to choose strategies of labor transnationalism: the shrinking of national political opportunity structures, the increasing availability of international political opportunity structures, and the adoption of a social union or social movement unionism paradigm for union revitalization. Additionally, I identify three factors that inhibit labor transnationalism among national unions: diminishing resources, turf wars, and cultural barriers. I introduce the concept of complex labor transnationalism as an alternative approach to the more limited traditional practice of labor transnationalism. I disaggregate the activities associated with complex labor transnationalism into six types: communicative transnationalism, political transnationalism, steward transnationalism, protest transnationalism, collaborative transnationalism, and steward transnationalism. Furthermore, I conduct a case study on the state of labor transnationalism in the United States concluding that while most unions take a traditional approach towards labor transnationalism there is some evidence of complex labor transnationalism. Finally, I draw several conclusions about the role of global labor in international relations and outline three areas of potential growth.

Full textAbstract:
Un essai clinique consiste en un ensemble de principes épistémologiques élevé au rang d’instrument d’action publique. Sa fonction est d’établir l’efficacité des traitements dans un cadre assurant la légitimité sociale de la production du savoir médical et pharmacologique. D’un point de vue organisationnel, il repose sur un ensemble de micro-activités administratives permettant de garantir la faisabilité d’un protocole de recherche, la sécurité des patients et la fiabilité des données produites.Cette thèse propose une analyse sociologique de cette « administration de la preuve » que sont les essais cliniques et, ainsi, de compléter les études qui se sont jusque-là essentiellement consacrées à l’étude des droits des patients, à l’activisme thérapeutique ou encore à l’organisation épistémique de la recherche. L’expression d’ « administration » renvoie d’abord aux procédés méthodologiques mobilisés durant le déroulement d’un essai pour prouver l’efficacité d’un traitement. Elle renvoie ensuite aux activités administratives déployées par la pluralité d’acteurs qui composent l’essai pour recruter des patients, coordonner des cliniciens et contrôler la production des données cliniques. Etant donné l’hétérogénéité des travailleurs investis dans un essai et les différents univers normatifs qu’ils véhiculent, les imprévus organisationnels susceptibles de compromettre le cours des choses et les relations atypiques de contrôle qui bouleversent l’économie traditionnelle des hiérarchies professionnelles, comment ces acteurs parviennent à s’inscrire dans cette organisation bureaucratique que sont les essais cliniques et quel type de solidarité sous-tend cette administration de la preuve ? Pour répondre à cette question, nous proposons de saisir la bureaucratie en personnes et en actes et de tenir compte de la matière du travail administratif, des temporalités engagées dans la mise en place et la réalisation d’un essai, ainsi que des dynamiques relationnelles qui se jouent entre les promoteurs et les investigateurs, ainsi que leur personnel de renfort. A partir d’un travail documentaire, d’observation de réunions et d’une cinquantaine d’entretiens conduits auprès d’investigateurs, de techniciens d’études cliniques, de responsables d’études cliniques, d’attachés de recherche, de méthodologistes, ou encore de biostatisticiens nous soutenons que le fonctionnement d’un essai clinique procède d’une forme de solidarité particulière : la solidarité procédurale. La notion désigne la capacité des procédures administratives (consentement, notification d’événements indésirables, etc.) à cadrer et stabiliser dans la durée les actions et interactions des différents acteurs engagés dans la réalisation d’un essai clinique et supposés suivre un protocole de recherche. Après être revenu sur l’histoire de la bureaucratisation de l’évaluation des médicaments, nous suivons pas à pas les étapes des essais, allant de la conception d’un protocole de recherche jusqu’au gel d’une base de données afin de décrire la dynamique sociale propre à la solidarité procéduraleA clinical trial consists of a set of epistemological principles used as a public policy instrument. Its function is to establish the effectiveness of treatments within a framework that ensures the social legitimacy of the production of medical and pharmacological knowledge. From an organizational point of view, it is based on a set of micro-administrative activities to ensure the feasibility of a research protocol, patient safety and the reliability of the data produced.This thesis proposes a sociological analysis of the “administration of evidence” that clinical trials are, and thus, to complete the studies that have so far been essentially devoted to the study of patients’ rights, therapeutic activism or the epistemic organization of research. The French term “administration” refers first of all to the methodological procedures used during the conduct of a trial to prove the effectiveness of a treatment. It then refers to the administrative activities deployed by the plurality of actors in the trial to recruit patients, coordinate clinicians and control the production of clinical data. Given the heterogeneity of the workers involved in a trial and the different normative universes they convey, the organizational contingencies that may compromise the course of events and the atypical control relationships that disrupt the traditional economy of professional hierarchies, how do these actors manage to fit into the bureaucratic organization that clinical trials are and what type of solidarity underlies this administration of proof? To answer this question, we propose to approach the bureaucracy in persons and in activities and to take into account the subject matter of the administrative work, the time involved in setting up and carrying out a trial, as well as the relational dynamics that are played out between the sponsors and the investigators, as well as their support staff. Based on documentary work, observation of meetings and about fifty interviews with investigators, clinical study technicians, clinical study managers, research associates, methodologists and biostatisticians, we maintain that the functioning of a clinical trial is based on a particular form of solidarity: procedural solidarity. The notion refers to the ability of administrative procedures (consent, reporting of adverse events, etc.) to frame and stabilize over time the actions and interactions of the various actors involved in the conduct of a clinical trial and expected to follow a research protocol. After reviewing the history of the bureaucratization of drug evaluation, we follow the steps of the trials step by step, from designing a research protocol to freezing a database to describe the social dynamics of procedural solidarity

The root causes were attributed to being caused by socioeconomic, ethnic and racial differences among individuals, especially immigrants and racial minorities. Also, the mass media and neglectful governments were partly to blame. We also propose a few viable solutions with regards to achieving better social cohesion through improved government interaction, the role of multinational corporations and the fostering of social tolerance.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis looks at the engagement of international law with the issue of global poverty. It examines the legal discourses that have arisen in this context, and how they construct, narrate and consequently address the problem of impoverishment. It begins by examining the principle of ‘international co-operation’, which is argued represents the dominant paradigm within legal discourse on poverty. It concludes, however, that this paradigm is not only problematic, but may prove counter-productive in efforts to address poverty. In light of this conclusion, the thesis turns to examine nascent conceptual shifts within legal discourse that see a move from a focus on ‘co-operation’ towards a focus on ‘solidarity’ within the discourse on poverty. In particular, it examines suggestions that solidarity represents a substantive principle of international law, and that it offers a more transformative normative alternative to co-operation in response to poverty. The thesis therefore turns to analyse the principle of solidarity. It emerges, however, that rather than transformative, present readings of solidarity are largely re-iterative of the problems associated with the principle of co-operation. It is argued that if the notion of solidarity is to prove productive to international law, it must be re-thought and re-cast. The final chapter considers the possibilities for re-casting the concept of solidarity in international law. It suggests the writings of Karl Marx on solidarity may provide productive lines along which legal engagement with the notion of solidarity may be re-conceived. In so doing, it joins a growing body of legal scholarship which has begun to argue that the ideas of Marx have not exhausted themselves, and that a critical reading potentially offers insights and tools for international legal enquiry.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIORA presente dissertação tem como objeto de estudo a análise dos discursos de empregabilidade e empreendedorismo através das representações elaboradas pelos atores sociais envolvidos no Programa Capacitação Solidária (PCS), viabilizados por três organizações capacitadoras na Região Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro, no ano de 1999. Tendo como eixo norteador de análise a categoria de hegemonia nos termos gramsciano e de formação profissional no contexto brasileiro, o estudo assume uma perspectiva histórico estrutural. Assim, procura identificar as mediações históricas, econômicas, políticas e sociais presentes no processo de formação profissional hoje, no Brasil, constatando que esse exerce um papel importante na consolidação de uma nova hegemonia capitalista. Levando em consideração o público-alvo do PCS, a pesquisa assinala a difusão de conteúdos ambíguos de empregabilidade e empreendedorismo que acabam por criar uma prática contraditória e confusa a partir de uma representação em que ao mesmo tempo exalta e rejeita a inserção em atividades auto-geridas.
This dissertation aims at the analysis of the employability and enterprising discourses, through the exhibitions made by the social actors involved in the Solidarity Qualification Program, allowed by three qualifying organizations in Rio de Janeiro, in 1999. Having as guiding axis the hegemony category in the gramscian and professional graduating terms in Brazilian context, this studying assumes a historic-structural perspective. That being so, it aims at the identification of the historical, economical, political and social mediations that appears in the professional graduation process nowadays in Brazil, realizing that this exerts an important part in the consolidation of a new capitalism hegemony. Considering the Solidarity Qualification Program target public, the research calls the attention to the diffusion of ambiguous contents of employability and enterprising that creates a contradicting and confusing praxis from an exhibition in which, simultaneously, is exalted and refused the insertion in self- managed activities.

Full textAbstract:
For the last thirty years a quiet revolution has been taking place in political theory. Starting in theology and philosophy, and making its way through history and sociology to politics, policy and practice, this disparate movement has slowly adopted the title of post-liberalism. Although difficult to encapsulate in a single argument, the central idea of post liberalism is that political theory has, over the course of the last four centuries, slowly but surely become dominated by liberalism, neglecting ideas of the good in favour of an abstract respect for plurality. This theory has apparently infiltrated politics, policy and practice, leaving these unable to inspire feelings of solidarity or collective action. The aim of this thesis is to explore these ideas both theoretically and empirically. Theoretically, it places post-liberal ideas into dialogue with anthropologies and sociologies of religion, of the state, and of capitalism, with special attention to research engaged with how these categories influence ideas of the good. Empirically, it undertakes a multiple case-study ethnography of civic action groups working in London. The cases are chosen on the basis of their representing key policy paradigms for social solidarity in the post-war era: Christian, secular, multi-faith and post-secular. The thesis concludes by offering an alternative framework, in which religion sits as a subset, for developing shared ideas of the good deliberatively and inclusively, so as to not only respect but thrive on plurality.
